- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 6 days ago:
I miss firefall. It was very innovative and enormous. The devs were trying new ideas in the alpha all the time.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 week ago:
Not every game is an MMO. A game like the crew 1 that is past it’s prime is not expensive to keep a few servers running for. It’s a negligible cost.
They could also put in the time to give players the tools to host their own servers, or simply allow offline play. This used to be standard for all PC games. They chose to do neither of these things in an obvious effort to force players towards the sequel or their other games. They should not be permitted to do anti-consumer things like this.
- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 2 weeks ago:
On places like reddit, Lenny, etc where there is a vocal minority complaining about this. The vast majority of consumers don’t come on here nor do they keep themselves informed. They’ll grumble at the price a bit, then buy it anyway.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 2 weeks ago:
I love invading people’s games and then never hacking them. It doesn’t tell them you’ve invaded so you can just mess with them covertly and pretend to be an NPC.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 3 weeks ago:
You’re right, which is why I didn’t say that it was. You and the person I’m responding to are being toxic and you’re not helping yourself by doing that. I am and have always been a defender of trans people, and you are jumping at every opportunity to assume I’m not simply because I don’t agree with your methodology. That’s retarded. Grow the fuck up.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t played the game nor do I want to. What I said is still true nonetheless. If you want to convince someone to boycott a piece of media, being a presumptuous dickhead is the exact opposite way you accomplish that.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 3 weeks ago:
Hyperbole and bad faith arguing is not compelling anyone to support your cause or your point of view
- Comment on One-handed games? 4 weeks ago:
deep rock survivor is a surprisingly fun and simple game that is designed for one handed play
- Comment on "There comes a time when we all declare the war is over": Former PlayStation Studios boss Shawn Layden on the future of video game consoles 5 weeks ago:
This is only a problem for capitalist shareholders (aka the ultra wealthy) who need to extract more wealth from consumers than they did last quarter but they’re already at the limit of how much they can do so. Now the largest barrier is time and attention.
- Comment on Deep Rock Galactic roguelike dev says innovation for innovation's sake is too expensive to survive: "We're a studio of 50 people with bills to pay" 5 weeks ago:
I’d say try it out to see if you like the gun mechanics and movement/different classes. If you do then you’ll love the game even more when you get to the higher difficulties. If it’s not your thing, you can refund on steam if still under 2 hours of playtime.
- Comment on Vampire Survivors devs launch official wiki "free of ads, banners, and all of the junk that gets in your way" 5 weeks ago:
Goddamn that’s awesome. Had no idea after hundreds of GW2 hours.
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 1 month ago:
The tech industry chases acquisition and investor money only now, not consumer demand or innovative achievement. It’s all just people trying to get rich, mostly so they can escape the effects of late stage capitalism.
- Comment on Spider-Man 2 Debuts to 'Mixed' Steam Reviews Amid Serious PC Performance Problems 2 months ago:
If a corp has shareholders to answer to, they will only churn out unfinished dogshit.
- Comment on Humble creating a bundle for this game is wild 4 months ago:
corporations ruin everything they touch
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Conspiracy theorists aren’t actually truth seekers. They’re not out to discover the truth. They want to proclaim the truth and feel like special people who have hidden knowledge so they can feel superior. It’s all about their ego, their sense of security, and nothing else.
All of this stuff is out in the open for all to see so the theorist nut jobs don’t get to feel special by trying to expose it.
- Comment on Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations 6 months ago:
because windows is doing everything in their power to ruin their OS with privacy violations and ads. I would switch to Linux yesterday if my favorite games worked on it.
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 6 months ago:
I saw an anecdote from someone who used to work there and they said their infrastructure and resources were outdated as hell. Basically zero support or investment from leadership. Their leadership is intentionally just trying to milk them and the customers dry before total collapse or a buyout.
- Comment on Star Wars: Outlaws being a "AAAA Game" for 3 minutes 7 months ago:
You can see every moment a senior dev went to management and asked for time or money to develop a certain type of interaction and were told no every single time.
- Comment on What is going to happen when AI becomes extremely advanced? 7 months ago:
So you think it’s an inevitability? Given enough time we will develop one?
- Comment on Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement. 7 months ago:
I pray for the downfall of Amazon.

What’s the evidence?
