Yes and we’re on lemmyshitpost.
But Neil is a legend and there has been some background noise about him potentially being shot if people keep getting too close to him and he attacks someone.
My mind went to him being shot for those reasons and the onion article spoofing it was a gang shootout instead. I’m just glad Neil is safe :)

It’s a Shelbyville tradition!

Downvoted since this scared me a lot. I just had to spend the last five minutes searching if Neil was OK. (he is)
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 1 day ago:
Agreed, if the 2 hour timer was reduced, we’d just see a bunch of nasty developers take advantage of it with games that are front loaded and then nothing as we have in the past.
It sucks for honest people on both sides of the equation.

Did everyone else on the road pay to dies in crashes causes by idiots using Adaptive Cruise Control to read books and zone out while driving?
- Comment on Microsoft’s Xbox to Shift Obsidian Studio to New ‘Fallout’ Video Game 3 days ago:
I hope they’re using Creation.
Avowed on unreal is just completely lifeless and can’t be modded in any real meaningful way. Fallout with zero mod potential will be horrible.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Xbox to Shift Obsidian Studio to New ‘Fallout’ Video Game 3 days ago:
I can only expect it’ll be as lifeless as Avowed.
Hopefully I’m wrong.

- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 6 days ago:
I am also upset they are ending disc production.
I don’t understand why they need to be phased out or ‘replaced’ as a medium other than greed.
You’ve said in other posts that physical media can often have a 30 year lifespan, but that’s more than Sony’s digital lifespans. You typically only get ~10-15 years for Sony’s digital services (upfront: I asked gemini about this) which is half the lifespan.
Why does optical need replacing with something else if that something is worse?

You might be fine with a small potted plant, but yeah they stink.
- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 6 days ago:
there is no modern physical medium to replace 30 year old garbage optical discs.
So then don’t replace them :)
Why do they need to be replaced?

- Comment on Time to bring back physical media on PC? 1 week ago:
If anything you are saying the mixes and mastering for vinyl are best.
That’s the ticket. It’s really because vinyl is worse that it’s become better, since it can’t do the brickwalling CD is capable of. A well mixed CD will always be better than a well mixed vinyl but well mixed CDs are in short supply.

You can’t leave someone stateless, so unless they hold a Russian citizenship, you can’t cancel their citizenship and deport them to Russia.
We have to deal with our own trash, even if it’s polluted from afar.
- Comment on Time to bring back physical media on PC? 1 week ago:
no one on Steam is allowed to price below Steam.
That’s not true at all.
- Comment on Time to bring back physical media on PC? 1 week ago:
Too bad they’re still the best.
Loudness war is STILL killing CDs and digital.
Vinyl is still unable to deal with stupid brickwalled tracks without making a 12" 2-3 tracks, so until the loudness war ends, Vinyl is still going to be the best format.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
In one way, he’s right, but that’s probably not what meant either.
What he probably thinks: AI could have done most of the creative work for a new expansion.
What would have actually helped: AI could have helped convert the old expansions and main quest to the new formats used, such that the WHOLE DAMN GAME was actually available to everyone again.

- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
Probably, but my platform is PC and I’m not expecting it for years.
I fully expect Rockstar to release it for the PS6 first and then we can start an 18 month timer for the PC release.

Until it’s actually announced for PC, it’s not coming.
Rockstar haven’t announced it’s even coming to PC yet, everything so far is people just assuming and dreaming up dates.

You can’t blame AI itself like you can’t blame the gun for shooting someone.
Blame Trump. All of this is because of his stupid Stargate Project buying up all the hardware (via OpenAI)

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.

Not coming to PC until ~2032 anyway.
Not buying a console slower than my PC just to play this at <1080p <30fps with upscaling.
