- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 1 week ago:
Ok, but which? Can you sue them if Galaxy, a free tool that they provide for convenience and that isn’t required for the actual service, doesn’t work, or if it breaks a game? Name one thing.
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 1 week ago:
I have lots of free games from GOG. You don’t have to be a paying customer to use galaxy.
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 1 week ago:
Galaxy is free and not required. If it doesn’t work you can download games from the website.
Buuut it also reinforces my point. The free open source solution works better than their in-house one.
- Comment on Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales 1 week ago:
I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing.
Nobody ever said the second part.
Don’t pre order, wait for reviews a couple weeks after release, buy if reviews are good and no major bullshit is discovered.
What do you think you’re winning?
Avoiding the major bullshit.
Also, even if you did just buy day one: If developers have a lot of pre orders they know they’ll sell anyway they have less of an incentive to deliver the highest possible quality.
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 1 week ago:
So does Galaxy?
Let’s say I have not yet had to do a full reinstall of heroic and multiple associated games because something got unfixably borked during an update.
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 1 week ago:
Even fewer people game on Mac than on Linux (judging by the Steam survey). I bet it’s not that they can’t they just don’t care.
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 1 week ago:
Heroic works better than Galaxy does in Windows. They should just pay the Heroic devs for their work and make that their official launcher.
- Comment on Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer 1 week ago:
Doesn’t look like wood to me.
- Comment on Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer 1 week ago:
Why would the sword shatter but not the shield?
- Comment on Self insert power fantasy recommendations? 1 week ago:
Also, no 3rd person camera, so you’d only see your character in inventory screen.
That’s why you ride bikes, d’uh!
- 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:
Some people will always find an excuse to change nothing.
It doesn’t matter how many similar EULA’s people have already accepted. The best moment to not eat it anymore would have been the first time it happened, the second best time is right now.
Also, retroactively amending an EULA is a different quality, since people have already paid for the game and would be looked out after the fact if they didn’t accept.
- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons 2 weeks ago:
Must be an oversight, maybe write them a kindly worded e-mail to let them know.
- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I always explore everything I can reach first, although if I encounter a boss that I can’t even scratch I won’t stick around for a 37 minute fight ;) so I have some things to return to.
I’m level 40 now and the story bosses are just not scary anymore. But so far I still enjoy being a bit overpowered at times so it’s fine.
- Comment on Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today 3 weeks ago:
They said that about steam and look at us now.
It’s people flocking to it until it’s the only place to release games that is gonna force you.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 3 weeks ago:
Ok. You’re often tired, but coffee gives you super strength, Popeye style.
- Comment on To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie 3 weeks ago:
No. Common sense has been replaced by the constant normalization of tracking and personalized ads.
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 3 weeks ago:
What else would it be coming from on the exact same hardware?
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 3 weeks ago:
Wow. I already wasn’t going to buy any more Bethesda slop, but now I’m not going to buy it twice.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 4 weeks ago:
Assuming the attacker knows it’s a phrase: The english language alone has some 800.000 words. 800.000^6 = 2*10^35 combinations in a dictionary attack. That’s comparable to 18 random ASCII characters. We might also be using a different language, or a combination of languages.
A long string of random characters will give you more combinations per password length, but there are some passwords you just need to be able to memorize, and I’d say that’s more likely with the 6 words.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 4 weeks ago:
I think anything that uses any kind of item that doesn’t come packed with the bread belongs on the “lawful” side.
- Comment on The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no 4 weeks ago:
Those are ok-ish for your own stuff if you don’t care too much. If you want to sell a product you have to do better.
- Comment on Apple is placing warnings on EU apps that don’t use App Store payments 4 weeks ago:
I hope this goes on like “made in Germany” (originally devised as a way to keep people from buying German products, quickly became a label of quality).
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 5 weeks ago:
I’ve seen project managment in industrial fields, and now that you put it this way I can totally see it.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 5 weeks ago:
But then, why do they keep canceling them before release? They don’t know if they’d have been hits or failures.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
“Inflation decreases” means “the prices are being raised slower”.
What you are looking for, prices going down, is “deflation”. Governments generally do their best to avoid that, because people would start holding off on purchases expecting lower prices next week, month, quarter,… and it would tank the economy.
- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 1 month ago:
Plenty of people will never experience these worlds or stories due to the turn-based combat
What? No! If anything they should make new original FF games with decent turn based combat again! X was the last good one, it’s time.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Mods Have Already Been Published Online 1 month ago:
Dad! Please! No!
- Comment on Tempest Rising review (PC Gamer: 85/100) 1 month ago:
I’m going to take a look at that.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
I am hoping that the upcoming SteamOS Desktop would make Linux friendly enough for games that aren’t native to Steam, such as my GOG collection
You can just add those to steam or use a launcher like heroic.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 2 months ago:
The “loosing hair where I want it to grow and growing it where I definitely don’t want it to grow” thing.
