- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 6 hours ago:
I look forward to the small new game studios that will surely appear as the big old ones are consolidated and/or dismantled.
It’s disappointing to see things we like fade away, but as the sun sets in one place, it rises in another.

- Comment on Do you prefer Performance mode or Quality mode? 11 hours ago:
This is basically alien to me. I think it has to be game specific.
Sufficient in this context means an amount that depends on the game.
- Comment on Do you prefer Performance mode or Quality mode? 22 hours ago:
sufficient performance > sufficient beauty > power usage > max beauty > max performance
I set a frame rate limit in most 3D games, to avoid inflating my electricity bill for barely noticeable FPS or effects improvements. Plugging my computer into a Kill-A-Watt was enlightening.
- Comment on How to play games from GOG and Epic Games on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck 1 day ago:
Another Lutris advantage: it doesn’t come with all that Electron bloat.
- Comment on Here is another cozy co-op game recommendation 1 day ago:
Thanks for pointing this out. I think I’ll give the free demo a try.
- Comment on How to play games from GOG and Epic Games on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck 1 day ago:
I’m glad they mentioned Minigalaxy, which looks simpler than Lutris and lighter than Heroic.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games consumer movement hits some major milestones 1 day ago:
A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly. Aiming for 1.4 million might be wise.
- Comment on We did it! 🥳 1 day ago:
Almost, but not quite. A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly.

- Comment on Unexpectedly wholesome exchange after a poor performance from me in Rematch 1 day ago:
It’s relieving to see that they calmed down in the end, but I don’t think that makes up for being a dick when feeling frustrated.
I wish the gaming community would teach people to take pride in good sportsmanship. It’s arguably harder than mechanical or strategic skill, and it’s usually more valuable.

- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 5 days ago:
Man collecting handsome salary and amazing healthcare in exchange for betraying his entire country tries to shift the public focus onto people trying to make their lives less miserable with video games.
- Comment on Are there any Android controllers with split D-pads? 5 days ago:
That’s curious, because on the PlayStation 4 controller, the D-pad direction buttons are all part of a single piece of plastic.

You can see this when pressing one direction button, as the other three tilt along with it. The sensors behind this plastic piece are separate, but as far as I know, that’s true in all D-pads.

In what way is the D-pad on a PlayStation controller “split”?
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Will Take Cues From Mass Effect, Souls Games and More 1 week ago:
I guess Tom Nook is in for a surprise.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Will Take Cues From Mass Effect, Souls Games and More 1 week ago:
Mishulin vaguely compared Osiris Reborn to a Souls game – not in its difficulty, but in discovering weapons during the game and strengthening your play style around it.
I find Souls games boring, but this particular aspect wouldn’t bother me. It’s common in other genres as well, like deck-builders.
- Comment on Here's why Inscryption is a good game 1 week ago:
lol… I had a feeling it would take some drastic turns. That’s great. No more spoilers, please. I do intend to get back to it.
In case you’re not familiar with it, Doki Doki Literature Club has some surprises, too. I enjoyed it even though visual novels are usually not my jam.
- Comment on Here's why Inscryption is a good game 1 week ago:
I only played through the first stage of the game before putting it aside. Thanks for reminding me that I ought to pick it up again and continue.
(Nitpick: Unique doesn’t have degrees. A thing can be very, very unusual, or it can be unique if nothing else like it exists.)
- Comment on Ring can use AI to 'learn the routines of your residence' 1 week ago:
Mass surveillance of everyone who lives in or passes through a Ring-infested area already allows that, and more. Automation through AI makes it worse, but is not the root of the problem.
- Comment on Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamers 1 week ago:
Since Wine 9.0, you can run 32-bit windows apps on 64-bits directly, without the need for 32bits distro support. It’s called WoW64.
You can in some cases, but not all.
There are two forms of WoW64. Old WoW64 uses 32-bit libraries.
New WoW64 (introduced in Wine 9.0) works without 32-bit libraries, but is still incomplete. It cannot yet replace old WoW64 everywhere, and even where it can, it reduces performance in some APIs. (For example, OpenGL.)
It will eventually make sense to drop the old one, but doing so now would be premature.

- Comment on RDR2 on Fedora 42 stuck in borderless windowed, can’t force fullscreen 1 week ago:
The first things I would try would be:
- Using an X11 desktop session instead of Wayland.
- Using a different Proton version.
- Making sure those width/height/refresh command line options are valid and match my monitor’s native specs.
After that, I would start reading the discussion here:
github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3291
This comment seems relevant, as does this one. There are plenty more.
- Comment on Hey PC game developers, please follow Stellar Blade as an example for PC optimization in the future, because it absolutely rocks 1 week ago:
I haven’t seen anyone here do that, and I am not willing to stereotype gamers based on a minority of jerks.
- Comment on Hey PC game developers, please follow Stellar Blade as an example for PC optimization in the future, because it absolutely rocks 1 week ago:
People often say “developers” when referring to development studios, which includes management. They don’t necessarily mean individual software developers.

I don’t understand. Boxes are physical.

- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 2 weeks ago:
I also love how the characters age, develop, and eventually retire.
They can also turn up again in later campaigns. This lends well to both the story and team-building aspects of the game, and is one of the things that sets Wildermyth apart from superficially similar games.
