- Comment on Microsoft CEO says "YouTube monetizes Xbox better than we do", ahead of expected layoffs | Satya Nadella bemoans performance of Xbox 3 days ago:
To be fair, he should of got rid of Phil sooner, but you don’t want higher ups micro-managing. Satya doesn’t and shouldn’t control each division.
- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 3 days ago:
Not coming to PC until ~2032 anyway.
Not buying a console slower than my PC just to play this at <1080p <30fps with upscaling.

NFS Underground 2 had in-game advertising for Cingular and Burger King.
NFS Carbon was absolutely plastered with T-mobile advertising.

- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
A lot of posts here with things that are thematically similar and open world.
I personally bounce between Skyrim and Fallout 4 a lot. I’d give ‘A Storywealth’ collection on nexus a play.

- Comment on 007 First Light sequels will be 'done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios,' Amazon exec says 2 weeks ago:
“We do see this continued integration of video and movies and videogames, where that line is becoming much more blurry,” Gattis said. “We think that’s a real opportunity for us to create IP that extends—or kind of expands upon—TV shows and movies. So there’ll be a Tomb Raider TV show on Prime Video that’ll go alongside the games. There’s a lot of things we have in the works on new games that’ll relate to Prime Video IP.”
So it’ll only be on consoles then like the horrible Grand Tour game.
Making a videogame- How hard can it be?

For a long time, SRIV was probably the best superhero game around.
- Comment on Why Games Now Take 6+ Years To Make 2 weeks ago:
But none of those models are even ‘made’…
They’re just 3D scanned real objects/people.
Games are harder to make now due to committees and consultants, that’s it. That’s the whole reason.

- Comment on Fable is delayed to Feb 2027 | via Wario64 3 weeks ago:
They release them sometimes, but only after they’ve gone through a period of mandatory enshittification.
ie. Apparently Starfield didn’t just have a regenerating O^2 meter before Phil got his changes in, the reason there are so many ‘almost interactable’ O^@ containers around is you were able to run out. Fuel too.
The game would be a lot more suspenseful with those features.
Then you’ve got RedFall, Halo 5, Gears 5, etc.
- Comment on Day 680 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
When 200cc first came out I move from Rosalina to Isabelle and haven’t looked back.
I liked bigger chars on bikes before, Waluigi on the Wario Bike was my fav on mkwii. But 200cc is something else.
- Comment on Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US 3 weeks ago:
It might be better to just go back to the drawing board on that one if even possible-
Scrap the board as is, go for Strix Halo but give it a big fat 150w PPT, give it 4x DDR5 slots instead of soldered LPDDR5X.
Don’t sell it with RAM or an SSD.
- Comment on Day 680 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Start with some lighter characters (Toad, Isabella, the babies, etc) on Mr. Scooty with rollers.
Remember to brake! Even in 150cc I rarely need to brake for anything, just drift more, but 200cc requires use of brakes.

That will be $34billion in tokens, you’re welcome.
- Comment on Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US 3 weeks ago:
They raised it an extra $100 in Australia over the US price.
Should of been increased to ~AU$1320, is actually AU$1429. (AU$1049 last week)
Thanks Gabe :')

We’ve also learned from Star Citizen that doesn’t work either.
- Comment on Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer 4 weeks ago:
The report isn’t trying to say they need to add those thing to gaming.
I don’t understand how this whole thread has misunderstood the report point so thoroughly…
The report is saying those 3 things are now more popular and have a higher amount of attention given to them than gaming and that publishers need to do better in order regain attention.
The prior parts of the report deal with how publishers have effectively cancelled and shut down so much that there is little to play.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 4 weeks ago:
Cardbuilders - just why?
It’s just simulated gambling.

- Comment on “I genuinely feel GameNative could replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck” — Inside Android’s Fastest-Moving Gaming Project, GameNative (my article!) 1 month ago:
ARM isn’t the reason why it won’t work for long.
It’s cooling, as soon as the phone thermal soaks it’s throttles down - phones can’t have a decent cooling system since they use power (fans EAT power), degrade water resistance and just add weight/bulk that most don’t want in a phone.
The handhelds you’ve listed aren’t phones. They’re handhelds that do in fact have heatsinks - they’ll work fine.
Again this isn’t anything against ARM, it’s the idea that a phone form factor with zero cooling considerations will somehow best a device with those considerations.
- Comment on “I genuinely feel GameNative could replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck” — Inside Android’s Fastest-Moving Gaming Project, GameNative (my article!) 1 month ago:
For a minute or so anyway, until the SoC overheats and thermal throttles.
You’re going to need a bigger battery and a real heatsink+fan if you want real gaming out of it, at which point it’s going to start getting to Deck size…
- Comment on Why are Steam games priced unfairly in Euros indifferent to where one resides? 1 month ago:
Or, a game looks great, is fairly made by inspired artists looking for a return on their risk, in which case: Why are you not paying them for their work?
Vast majority of people making games are on a Salary. They’re not getting any more or less return from you buying a game.
