- Comment on Nintendo Doubles Down on Palworld vs Pokémon Patent Lawsuit ‘Mods Don’t Count as Real Games’ 4 hours ago:
Hey guys, I guess Counter-Strike isn’t real. The over one million people that play it every day are just a schizophrenic hallucination.
- Comment on Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit 2 days ago:
Counter-Strike being the most popular PC game in the planet must be a figment of my own imagination, then.

We’re about to see even more groypers assassinating political figures if they manage to put their greasy censorious thumbs on it.
- Comment on Chairman Comer Invites CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit to Testify on Radicalization of Online Forum Users - United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 3 days ago:
Ah, yes, go pick a fight with groups of people who literally would burn down entire platforms before getting censored. Good luck.

I can’t decipher whatever word salad you’re trying to say here and I don’t care. There is no excuse for a top of the line GPU from LAST YEAR to not get at least 80 FPS on High. Most gamers are poor and have stuff like 3060s, 4060s, and RX 6600s. I’m not a rich fucker who can burn 2000 dollars every year on a 600 watt GPU to get a pitiful 50 FPS.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 5 days ago:
That isn’t what is being sold
That’s what was being sold for over three decades. I give 1000 dollars worth of graphics card, I can run anything at max settings with no compromises. Nvidia and videogame devs enshittified this shit so much that you require stuff that should be reserved for LOW END graphics cards to run the game properly. Fuck that.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 5 days ago:
If I buy a 1000 dollar graphics card I’m expecting it to run any game at max settings with NO upscaling. Because that was the norm for over 20 years.
Upscaling is supposed to be used to EXTEND the life of lower end graphics cards, not be the new fucking normal.

My friend with a RX 7900 XT can barely run it.
At 1080p.

Shove it up your ass, Gearbox.

- Comment on Itch.io's mass delisting of paid adult content has also affected safe-for-work games with yuri or lesbian themes, devs claim 5 weeks ago:
Don’t you know? All gay relationships are NSFW, no matter what, kids CANNOT have their eyes exposed to two women holding hands, what if they start THINKING ABOUT GAY SEX???
oh wait it’s just people who literally cannot stop thinking about that projecting their feelings on literal children. Go figure.

This is not the thing a company who doesn’t care about the PR damage does.
You can’t censor everyone, Mastercard. You’re not putting that genie back in.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 month ago:
In no particular order:
- Megaman X
- UNDERTALE
- Call of Duty 4 (campaign, never played MP)
I just really like those three games. They’re all fun in their own ways and in the case of Undertale it shaped a huge part of my 20’s because it was through playing it that I learned to love humanity even with its bumps and scrapes. It kept me from turning into a full on misanthrope.
Honorable mentions go to GTA Online (I have almost 6000 hours in that game total, it’s my favorite pastime), Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (multiplayer), and Titanfall 2.

Windows is always updating its Secure Boot protocols so it makes sense.
- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 follows Battlefield 6's lead, will also require secure boot on PC 1 month ago:
Secure Boot is literally one toggle in the BIOS what are you talking about 😭
- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 follows Battlefield 6's lead, will also require secure boot on PC 1 month ago:
Yeah I agree they’re both terrible in their own regards, but cheating has become such a profitable industry that I don’t see anything short of government regulations or extremely aggressive anti-cheat solving it.
- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 follows Battlefield 6's lead, will also require secure boot on PC 1 month ago:
Honestly this isn’t a problem, since it’s simply looking at the checks Secure Boot makes when starting. The issue is still the deep root access. Altho, both BF6 and Cod’s anti-cheat only run when the game is on, so it’s uhh, less bad than something like Riot Vanguard.
Still terrible, tho.

I’m Brazilian actually, but I don’t appreciate organizations from ANYWHERE in the world interfering with legal purchases.

Seems like while Australia doesn’t export that much bad stuff, the stuff that does get exported somehow manages to be even worse than other places, for some reason. Collective Shout is a group of TERFs, and Murdoch… well we don’t need to ttalk about him.
- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 1 month ago:
The biggest TERFs in the planet seem to be either Australian or British, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Also, Murdoch has caused untold damage to America that is gonna take decades or even a century to fix.

Hope every gaming company out there is sweating buckets at this. This is a matter of customer rights.

Almost every old CoD game has this issue unfortunately. And too little people play them for Activision to bother fixing them.
- Comment on How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking 2 months ago:
Yep. And unlike most toothless consumer protection agencies in the US, Procon does not fuck around. They’ll even straight up force gaming companies to unban someone from a game if the person felt the ban was unfair, and force them to not only return their entire progress, but all of their items and pay them a sum for the damages.
