- Comment on What's a video game that can run on any sort of device?(besides doom and pong) 1 day ago:
Yeah, Conker‘s Bad Fur Day ran on a Pentium D, which was a doubled Pentium 4 and the emulator didn’t use the second core.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 day ago:
So I should save a few watt-hours and then burn a few thousand more for an AI query? I already play on a Steamdeck so some wanker can fly a few centimeters more with his private jet.

As the petition got more successful it became a bigger topic on here. Bigger topics draw more opinions.

So what do I do?
- Comment on Day 369 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 days ago:
The image of Donkey Kong being stuck on that exact spot looks oddly familiar.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 2 days ago:
BioWare‘s writing always has been very tame, get over it.
- Comment on I really want to like the new ff7....but it's just so buggy. 4 days ago:
When the games of my childhood were buggy, it was delightful.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 6 days ago:
Implementing direct debit shouldn’t be too hard and straining. Most of their staff is maintaining an e-commerce platform, they‘d do fine.
- Comment on Current fit in the Witcher 3, anything I should be on the lookout for? 1 week ago:
except for fashion
- Comment on John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025 1 week ago:
Maybe someone made the calculations and the projected profits from a re-published, license-stripped version are lower than the estimated costs.
- Comment on John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025 1 week ago:
Expired movie license probably.
- Comment on John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025 1 week ago:
What you have quoted is not what’s happening to John Wick Hex. People who bought it can still download and play it.
- Comment on John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025 1 week ago:
People should learn to read more than the name of the petition.

Why did you write „play“ like this?
- Comment on DOGWALK is a free casual game from the Blender Studio out now 1 week ago:
Seems to be a fork. Well, good luck with that, then.
- Comment on DOGWALK is a free casual game from the Blender Studio out now 1 week ago:
Does this mean Blender‘s own engine is abandoned? 😬
- Comment on A Donkey Kong film is seemingly in development at Universal Pictures and Nintendo — registered at the US Copyright Office 1 week ago:
Why aren’t these Japanese productions?
- Comment on LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17th 1 week ago:
Platforming is not supposed to be tricky and the puzzles are really well designed and manageable (I usually look up puzzle solutions after a few minutes and never had the urge during Limbo or Inside).

What’s LBP?
- Comment on Day 359 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
I was excited when Sony finally announced it for PC, and well, it was worth the ten years wait and full price for me!
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 week ago:
Passion projects like Stardew where the devs get paid nothing for years? That’s not sustainable.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 1 week ago:
That’s not what they think, that’s just how their law lackeys justify horrendous fines. Their market analysts will still see the „talk“ about the game, by people who played, legally or not.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 1 week ago:
Or do the boycott right and don’t play the game at all. Getting the best of both worlds, save the money and play the game, is the easy way out.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 1 week ago:
Subnautica was lightning in a bottle.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 week ago:
It‘s a passion project alright, but we won‘t see many games if only those are getting done.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 week ago:
Good enough to not release a new game in ten years, what small scale studio can say that.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 week ago:
And yet those small studios are one flop away from bankruptcy. Stardew Valley is a one in a million success story and should not pose as a benchmark. Barone decided to continue as a more or less single dev, but you can‘t blame talented young designers to expand their team to realize more ambitious projects and sacrifice economic safety for that simply because they now employ people. Barone can do updates ten years later and postpone Haunted Chocolatier for that, you can‘t do that if multiple people depend on their salary.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 week ago:
Not that it should be expected to dish out free content and never charge for DLC. Not every game has the kind of profit margin Stardew Valley has.
- Comment on Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I noticed I don’t really care.
- Comment on Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation 2 weeks ago:
The install base with hardware capable of running their main releases though is probably dwarfed by PlayStation.
