  On the first picture, you could headcanon that’s for a planned future extension to the highway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen’s Manchester office shows off its newly opened ‘briefing room’ theater space⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out you don’t need to call it ‘non-fungible’ or ‘web3.0’ - just lie and you can sell JPEGs for tens of thousands of dollars!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  *Unless it’s a murder-mystery, but then Train > Ship

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aspyr is the company, it’s not really a ‘studio’ - they’re a porting house that used to port PC games to MacOS, poorly (but beggars could not be choosers in the post win95 world, crappy Aspyr port or none at all)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doug Bowser Retiring From Nintendo, Successor Announced⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Pritchard will take on the role.

  About time! What, did she get stuck in an airduct on the way there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also the intro threw me off right away, at least in 4 there was still a veneer of you starting as a lowly pleb, 5 was just “YOU’RE THE SUPERSTAR!!!” right from second one and it was just patronising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have agreed a year ago.

  But the only clearing houses for online transactions turned out to be a bunch right wing stooges that hate LGBT and Adult Games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox invests big into indies, signs Game Pass deals with over 50 studios⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  RIP 48 of those games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone knows that.

  But, at the very least we should be congratulatory on this - it’s bad that clans were contained to DLC in the first place and Paradox needed a good kick, but since they’ve been pliable we should give them a pavlovian pat on the head.

  If you leave no room for ‘rehabilitation’ there is no reason to try to do better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have accepted reality and not purchased the game.

  Thanks for the heads up Bobandy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)

  We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a few more jpegs and they’ll have the money to finish it!

  I do remember them spending a lot of money on Star-Trek style doors for the their HQ and now they’re moving, so I guess that was money well spent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Truth in England.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess RWS can add a ‘Kennedy Mode’ to Postal2 Redux. (in reference to the previous lowest difficulty, Liebermode, named after Senator Joe Lieberman.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bruh, i just realised that the last time i played Garrys Mod,Obama was still president lmao⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  PS3 the current generation of consoles last time I played it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gaming console⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Needs more actual edges, sharpened edges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Japan also gets ‘Expat’ credentials too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Making it easy was the mistake, the internet was great when knowing what tcp/ip actually is was a barrier to entry.

  Gatekeeping isn’t a dirty word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sir?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Australia, that’s always how it’s done.

  Portable breathalyzer doesn’t really mean anything, but if you blow over you’re down to the station to do it in the real machine and if you blow there, it’s off to hospital to get a blood test, the blood test is the evidence used in court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'ALL NEED TO WAKE UP!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But please don’t forget that even free software by trillion dollar corporate machines is also a prison of telemetry

  gaol has the best jraphics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Believe it or not, right to gaol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Path of Exile 2 is free to play this weekend (Aug 29 - Sept 01)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  WASD controls are so much better, I’m in love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Four wheels good, two wheels bad: why are there no exciting cycling games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Road cycling is a rich persons sport, gaming is circuses for us poors.

  No one wants to play ‘tour de riche’

  A /decent/ Downhill game could be good (Descenders wasn’t it., super wide mariokart-esque tracks - give me some goat tracks that need berms on the corners)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this month's Humble worth it if I'm not into Persona?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Humble hasn’t been worth it since IGN bought it.

  Does SQ42 even have a concrete release date?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At Gamescom, it felt like the industry now has a plan: make games quicker | Opinion⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  History and Common Sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 just another ‘lazy’ addition to the franchise?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Four deaths.

  The first was when the hopped on the regenerating health bandwagon.

  Then CoD wasn’t balanced for lean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairgame$ Has Been Canceled, Too, According to Michael Pachter, Who Says Sony Has ‘Lost Its Way’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Lies’ is more accurate to say than ‘wrong’

  He’s an investor, he’s pushing positions hoping his investments and/or shorts pay out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairgame$ Has Been Canceled, Too, According to Michael Pachter, Who Says Sony Has ‘Lost Its Way’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Investor makes up garbage to advance his own investment position, again

  When are these people going to face the consequences they deserve?
