- Comment on Electronic Arts to Cut 400 Jobs, Shut Down BioWare 9 hours ago:
This one hits close to home. Bioware games were a big part of my youth. I can’t remember how often I replayed bg2, but I still remember the joy when I actually properly beat it for the first time. I’ll never forget the thrill when I explored the dwarven tunnels in Dragon Age or the magic of Mass Effect’s masterful world building.
Fuck EA.
- Comment on God of War Laufey's $150 Collector Box Includes a Light-Up Faye Statue but no game 1 week ago:
It’s a single platform game so far, and it makes the box viable as an option for people who already got the game and later decide they want the merch, if they don’t sell iut right away.
Even if it had none of those advantages, it also doesn’t make anything worse for the customer.
- Comment on God of War Laufey's $150 Collector Box Includes a Light-Up Faye Statue but no game 1 week ago:
Why? It’s a platform agnostic merch box. If you like the price for the merch, get it, if not, don’t. If anything, it emphasises that there’s no need to preorder the game, even if you want the CE merch.
- Comment on If the legalization of drugs reduces crime, why can't the same be said about the legalization of guns? 1 week ago:
Yes, and you can force someone to take drugs, we both know that’s not the point.
- Comment on If the legalization of drugs reduces crime, why can't the same be said about the legalization of guns? 1 week ago:
Drugs harm the user. Guns harm somebody else.

- Comment on FFVII Revelation Director Insists S-E Had No Choice but to Require a Download to Play the Physical Disc Version 5 weeks ago:
So there indeed was a perfectly good other choice.
- Comment on Disgusted 1 month ago:
I can’t wait to read your explanation for that thought.
- Comment on Disgusted 1 month ago:
“Go wherever” doesn’t include “kill people, bomb cities and abduct children wherever”.
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 month ago:
It doesn’t matter what it is, if I have to do it 40 hours a week I will hate it.
- Comment on Dana White isn’t a fan of college athletes getting paid: “It’s a problem. Money ruins everything” 1 month ago:
But if the sports still happen to generate income, the athletes out of all people shouldn’t be the ones who get no piece of the cake.
- Comment on Anon visits IHOP 1 month ago:
Oh, for sure, but I usually also get the disappointed look and the “you mean the Jens-Lehmann-Gedächtnis-Kürbisblaster-3001?” correction.
- Comment on Anon visits IHOP 1 month ago:
For real? German bakeries do this all the time. It’s a fucking Kürbiskernbrötchen, why do they all feel like they have to invent their own bullshit influencer name for it? Chances are 9 out of 10 get them from the same factory even.

“I only need ten minutes to get ready.”
No honey, you don’t.
- Comment on They call me the problem solver 1 month ago:
That escalated quickly.
- Comment on Lazy weekend with my Switch Lite and Octopath Traveler 2 months ago:
I love JRPGS.
I always burn out on Octopath quickly. The 8 disjointed stories just don’t draw me in.
- Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital" 2 months ago:
the future customers, do not care for physical media.
You did not understand my comment. They may not care about the physical media, but they will care about the fuckeries a Sony with a total monopoly over playstation games will force on people. Dictating higher prices without even the slightest competition will only be the beginning.
- Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital" 2 months ago:
That’s not an argument to take the same choice away from future customers.
We made the choice for mostly digital in a world where physical was still available as a fallback. That’s not the same situation as if it wasn’t. The existence of physical media and a resale market does prevent some of the worst fuckeries of an otherwise monopoly, regardless if you ever bought or sold used games.
- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 3 months ago:
Of course there was. It was very much alive on our schoolyard. (A “market” doesn’t need a man in the middle siphoning off a profit for it to exist.)
- Comment on Every fucking time 3 months ago:
It’s because they keep doing it wrong!
- Comment on Guess the game (#004) 3 months ago:
The only reason I know Double Fine. To this day I don’t get why they’re generally known for Psychonauts over this.
- Comment on GOG Summer Sale is here! 3 months ago:
It was sent to Germany, just not to users with their language set to German.
- Comment on GOG apologizes for emailing Nazi runes to its followers 4 months ago:
There is also a “location” in my GOG profile, wnich is set to Germany.
- Comment on GOG apologizes for emailing Nazi runes to its followers 4 months ago:
This doesn’t even make sense when it’s about symbols that are illegal in one country. Not all German speakers live in Germany, not all people in Germany use the German language version of things.
- Comment on GOG apologizes for emailing Nazi runes to its followers 4 months ago:
That’s not even true. Am German, got the mail. (To a “.de” e-mail adress btw, so it’s not like it would have been hard to filter.)
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 4 months ago:
It’s my favourite one actually.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
We have a friend who’s banned from touching the music at partys because he will find a way to accidentally delete the playlist, no matter what we do to make it idiot proof.
- Comment on Tech support for mum 5 months ago:
I too have gotten into the habit of putting all my dad’s passwords (at least the ones I for things I set up with/for him) into my keepass file as a backup. He will write them down, and then next time that specific piece of paper will be gone.
- Comment on Anon was bullied 5 months ago:
I can’t remember a single person in my school life who ever did anything like this. Usually it went like “I watch Pokemon” -> straight to bullying.
- Comment on Doing the Lord's work. 5 months ago:
I’d be fine with it if people could throw their fucking trash in a bin and leave the place like they found it.
