Ko-fi is a much better option for creators. Don’t let Patreon fleece you.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 2 days ago:
It’s already overpriced, but they will keep doing this as long as enough people tolerate it to make the numbers go up.
- Comment on Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console 3 days ago:
We already no longer own games. It’s been that way since the DMCA robbed consumers of digital ownership. If your game includes DRM or a EULA, you don’t own it.
- Comment on Same-date PC ports of PS5 games remain unlikely, as Sony talk up "thoughtful" multiplatform approach despite Xbox comparisons 4 days ago:
This is my own approach, to a T. If you make me wait, I’ve lost interest. There are so many amazing games out there, many from more deserving indie studios, that the competition for my attention and money is fierce. This goes for delayed releases and releases that launch with malware like Denuvo. It’s very unlikely that I will ever touch either, even at a steep discount.

No thanks.

Oh, hell no.

Newsom is self-serving neoliberal scum. He has as much in common with “progressive left” as the chemical formula for caffeine has with a tardigrade.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 1 week ago:
I didnt realize Steam would do that. There have been several times where EULAs changed or malware was added a year or more later and I just assumed I had no recourse.

We’re also pansexual genderfluid woke leftist trekkie furries. That’s why you love us.

Hip hooks are also great for getting at those muscles, which are otherwise very difficult to stretch.

This is one of the funniest movies ever made.
But is picking a movie that is trying to be shitty actually fair?

How dare you. Flight of the Navigator is a masterpiece.
- Comment on Stellar Blade removes its region lock on Steam, now available in most of the world 2 weeks ago:
It still infects the vast majority of Sega and Ubisoft titles, despite their age.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Devices of all kinds becoming more and more locked down is a thing that is already happening. Without increasingly strong consumer protections like digital ownership, right to repair, and the like, capitalism necessitates that devices and platforms continue to become more locked down, less accessible, less open, less flexible, and less private. Maybe the EU can rise to the occasion before it’s too late, but don’t expect that to happen anywhere else.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 2 weeks ago:
While I am primarily a PC gamer, it really is the best thing From Software has ever done and an objective masterpiece. I sometimes waffle between whether Bloodborne or Sekiro is my favorite, but regardless of my own preference, I do think Bloodborne is the best.

Nioh 2 is one of my favorite soulslikes, but falls short of masterpiece in my opinion due to the repeatedly recycled levels.

Mostly this. I’m not paying for something that comes with malware. Not for $80, $20, or $1. Nobody should pay for malware.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 3 weeks ago:
I like Fedora simply because you don’t have to take extra steps to remove Snaps. I’ve gone from being fan of Ubuntu to avoiding it because of the way Canonical has behaved in recent years and the negative impacts that behavior has had on the distro (and community). It feels immoral preferring a Red Hat/IBM distro over Ubuntu, but unfortunately it’s the better product.
I recommend Kubuntu to new users simply because the documentation, website, and learning material is better. Bazzite is also not without it’s quirks, especially if you want to start learning more about Linux in general and branching out beyond gaming.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 3 weeks ago:
You are right. Unless the world starts to enshrine digital ownership laws very, very soon, things will get bad. They already are bad, but they could be, and will be, far worse in the not-to-distant future.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 3 weeks ago:
Bazzite is the most “SteamOS” flavor of Linux you can get right now.
If you want an OS that has a little more control, go with Kubuntu, which is very friendly. When you’re comfortable with that and familiar enough with Linux to unhappy with Snaps and Canonical, switch to Fedora or OpenSUSE.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 3 weeks ago:
Bazzite, Kubuntu, or Fedora are all great options for you. Bazzite can boot into a SteamOS-like dedicated gaming mode. If you want more flexibility over your system, Kubuntu or Fedora are both great choices.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo is a terrible, anti-consumer company. Unless you simply can’t control yourself when it comes to their first party franchises, the Steam Deck is far and away the better choice.

It would be wonderful if they also cancelled all live service plans.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 3 weeks ago:
Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.
- Comment on Star Citizen Loses 'Integral Staff' Responsible for Server Meshing 3 weeks ago:
Squadron 42 is the single-player counterpart to Star Citizen. It’s supposed to release next year. Star Citizen, however, is far too complex to self-host. The server technology they’ve shown off is incredible, but it’s not a “single server” thing.
I’m hoping that many of these departures are simply because the underlying technology is finally mature and those people want to move on to new challenges, but I don’t really believe that’s true. It’s clear that Chris Roberts own shortcomings as a boss are poisoning the company and it’s once-passionate workers.
- Comment on Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade 3 weeks ago:
Affinity is an excellent replacement for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Publisher. Gimp is a dumpster fire, both as software and a FOSS project.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 4 weeks ago:
When $40 is half price, I will generally pass as if it were $80. There is a glut of amazing content out there for $40 or less, and much of it is truly inspired indie work. When your half-price game is competing with great full-price indie titles, I will continue to ignore your overpriced corporate muck.
