- Comment on Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today 1 day 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 1 day 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 1 day 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No. Common sense has been replaced by the constant normalization of tracking and personalized ads.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) 1 day 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 2 days 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 1 week 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? 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 2 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 2 weeks ago:
But then, why do they keep canceling them before release? They don’t know if they’d have been hits or failures.

“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? 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
Dad! Please! No!
- Comment on Tempest Rising review (PC Gamer: 85/100) 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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? 1 month ago:
The “loosing hair where I want it to grow and growing it where I definitely don’t want it to grow” thing.
- Comment on Anon takes an exam 1 month ago:
That, and also when the questions require actual understanding instead of memorized knowledge.
Also, our professors tended to make open book exams so tight on time that you couldn’t realistically look most things up.
- Comment on John Oliver faces defamation lawsuit from US healthcare medical director 1 month ago:
It doesn’t really matter if it’s medically safe. It’s just disgraceful.
- Comment on Anon takes an exam 1 month ago:
Properly made open book exams are not easier. The opposite.

- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 2 months ago:
Baldur’s Gate 2. There’s no game I’ve played through more often. BG3 is a very fun successor, but Larian’s writing can’t hold a candle to classic Bioware.
- Comment on Steam Deck Gaming News 2 months ago:
Thank you for doing this. I particularly like the GOG part as I usually prefer to buy from them. Most of the Linux gaming advice and news out there is catered to the majority of 100% steam users though.
- Comment on ‘There will always be people like you’: Tekken boss blasts ‘disrespectful’ fan for criticising character’s new look 2 months ago:
So, let me get this right, there’s been a shit storm about… A slightly different haircut?? They couldn’t even find a boob or butt that looks smaller than before?
- Comment on Tides of Annihilation - Announce Trailer 3 months ago:
Looks fine to me.
- Comment on The PlayStation Network outage proves PC gamers were right to resist its mandatory sign-in requirement 3 months ago:
If steam goes under, a significant portion of your steam games won’t launch anymore, period. If GOG goes under, you can still use 100% of their installers, provided you still have them backed up. No, they are not going to be able to do that step for you. Did the store you bought physical games from put your discs in storage for you, so they wouldn’t clog up your basement? Did they give you a new copy if you lost or threw out your disc and then changed your mind?

Until the day after Gabe kicks the bucket.

- Comment on Nvidia Announces RTX 50's Graphic Card Blackwell Series: RTX 5090 ($1999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), RTX 5070 ($549) 4 months ago:
I’m still using that 1080Ti and currently see no reason to upgrade.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 4 months ago:
Apple does benefit from tech illiterate customers buying a new iPhone instead.
