- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 hour ago:
HR is great.
MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…

I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.
The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.
But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.

I didn’t think it was so bad I had to stop playing, but I did stop playing one night once it got late and just never started it again, nor had the desire.
It seemed fine enough, but it just didn’t click with me I guess.

turn-based game, but not turn-based battles.
What does this mean?
I can understand the blitzball distaste though, it was polarising even then.
- Comment on Um, actually, Neville Chamberlain didn't "cave" to Hitler, he actually got a lot out of the deal. 1 hour ago:
No, Chamberlain was spineless, against the Royal Family.
Czechia gave him a plan to crush the Nazis at the first stop, they baulked, since the prince loved Nazis.
- Comment on GTA 6 dev Rockstar says recent firings were due to leaks of "confidential information" and were "in no way related to people's right to join a union" 3 hours ago:
I’m on PC, so waaaay ahead of you.
I’m not expecting it until 2030 at the earliest. (Nov '26 for PS5, add 18-24months for the PS6 release, add 18-24 months for the PC release)
- Comment on Yet another NetEase studio has closed, this time Watch Dogs devs’ Bad Brain 2 days ago:
I’d say they’re more the Embracer of China.
- Comment on Why are some shows so dark? 6 days ago:
They are giving you contrast, lots more contrast.
That’s actually the problem, most people don’t have very good displays and additionally watch dark content in lit rooms - but showrunners are pushing for HDR, when you’ve got a $20k Sony OLED PVM in bt2020 or ‘color space off’ (native gamma), everything looks good. (There is a BT709/sRGB emulation mode, but I don’t think they care enough to use it)
Try to watch the same on an IPS LCD with possibly not even 100% SRGB coverage and you’re going to have a bad time. Even a VA will have a bad time if viewed off-axis.

- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 week ago:
To add to this-
One of the biggest traps for new linux users since forever has been to jump straight into the deep end- tweaking any and every tunable- then when that inevitably all breaks, blaming Linux and moving back.
For anyone reading- You don’t need Arch as your first distro, you don’t want to on the bleeding edge unless you’re prepared to bleed. You don’t need things like Golden Eggroll Proton or any external launchers.
Just keep it simple to start- Something like Mint, SuSE or plain Fedora with Steam using the built-in Proton.
Bazzite gets… let say ‘advertised’ a lot and it’s got a lot of good ideas - but if you’re coming from Windows I think it’s just too much - it’s an immutable system* with containers for everything. That’s an ocean away from Windows unless you were comfortable with Sandboxie beforehand (if you were, dive right in)
*\the system is read only, you cannot change anything in the default image, ie. imagine if you were never allowed to add files to c:\windows
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation boss says the games industry is "littered" with Fortnite clones and "people trying to do Overwatch with different skins," but keep dreaming if you're just trying to get "big sacks of money" 2 weeks ago:
They seemed to have caught on to just scrolling straight to the bottom now too, so now it’s somewhere around 2/3rds the way down is the actual recipe nestled away between the filler.

No please don’t, it’s better these executives stay well away.

If you’re on PC, SpecialK can do that now (on SSE, probably also LE if you’re on nVidia or use dgvoodoo for DX9 to DX12)

- Comment on A player before me destroyed a bridge in [the Tides of Tomorrow] demo, so I had to build it again in this narrative adventure where your choices have consequences for others 3 weeks ago:
Be the change you wanna see or stfu.
I am, by not supporting these games financially, I’m hoping they crash and aren’t made anymore.
Live Service single player games are an abomination.

And it’ll be shut down in a few months anyway.
Single Player games as live services that die can take a long walk.

Me then: No it’s fucked!

- Comment on Elon Musk reveals 2026 launch for his AI game alongside Grok-made garbage 4 weeks ago:
*Delivering nothing.
When he does deliver it’s more often a gem than a turd, but he almost never delivers.
Self Driving Cars? Nope.
BFR? Nope.
ITS? Nope.
Starship is an death trap - I’d trust a 737MAX over ever getting on that turd.
Tesla Roadster with thrusters (yes, he promised this) Nope.

- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 1 month 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 Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed 1 month 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.
