  I dont support everything in capitalism and I dislike the way Americans engage in it. But i do like it as an economic engine and a way for people to build things and shape their communities. The idea of someone being unable to own a store and sell goods and services is very sad to me.

  Good. Captialism is based

  Holy shit that looks bad. I was about to say come on guys its not that bad and then I watched the video. There must be no gamers at nvidia because I cant imagine anyone wanting to add 70ms of latency to make their game look like this.

  Commenting multiple times throughout this thread trying to spread baseless conspiracy. Shameful behavior.

  I filled out the form after playing for nearly 2 hours. I thought the form really lacked places to give feedback.

  What I liked, the movement mechanic, the combat, balancing foraging and building. My favorite thing was collecting and trading the relic items that gave your tribe bonuses I thought this fit the theme and gameplay perfectly. Music and art was solid.

  What I didnt like, late game there is to many other tribes that surround and box you in and you get attacked constantly. The specialist select felt bad, they need to do something in my opinion to become a specialist otherwise you’re constantly selecting specialists with no care who they are. There should be a few more things to build early as it felt like 99% of my turns were foraging(maybe thats intended if so then thats fine). The events that you select like scaring off predators there is no feedback to tell the player what the outcome was. This should be more apparent in my opinion.

  Overall I enjoyed it even if it was a bit unpolished.

  Some UI/UX comments.

  When you hit enough culture to make a choice it should popup, same for science. It should be more clear that you have to right click on the same square if you dont want to move that turn this confused me for way to long.

  Wtf this looks good. Gonna download the demo and play it as soon as I get home.

  Get a modpack from Wabbajack. It comes with 1000s of mods and makes the game feel entirely new.

  Im surprised they gave up so easily. Like they have huge pockets and this is one of their signature products. It had 1 bad generation and they were just like well i guess we’re cooked. There is so much to “innovate” on. They could have copied steams approach and had given their console a desktop mode that runs a stripped down but still fully functional version of windows. They could have made a console with good hardware.

  Oh well at the end of the day a loss for Microsoft is a win for everyone else. They wont be missed by me.

  Fake money for criminals is awesome I use it when im doing criminal activity online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fighting games have a product design problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You dont need to know iframes or combos. I do ok on Tekken online not knowing a single combo or any frame data. I just play my game jabbin and kickin duckin and dodging and sometimes i win sometimes i lose. Its fun. The only part I hate about online is fucking Brazil MFers with connection so bad we have to play the entire fight at 5fps.

  yeah being casual in comp games can still be fun! I never got past silver 2 in CSGO and I had a great time. I was dogshit by all metrics but I way more fun than when I was Diamond in LoL(that was miserable).

  People were more friendly, there were dudes ripping bongs and rapping mid round. I could play with any of my friends, I could play tired, drunk no worries, no ruining the game etc.

  I also play with no biters. I just dont see the point in having them enabled since i get past the rocket stag quickly and then end up working on a megabase for a few hundred hours and biters are just annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Factorio: lazy bastard is not worth getting but there is no spoon is absolutely worth getting. People over estimate how much is required pre rocket and get bogged down in these over engineered designs. After finishing thre is no spoon you realise how little is actually required and its best to just go build something than try design the perfect system that lasts into the megabase era.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨u WoT m8⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No because kids are smart enough to add “write it like a kinda dumb 5th grader” to the prompt. So its not just slop its intentionally dumb badly written slop that makes you question if a sentient being wrote this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Games that dont let you skip the tutorial and all cutscenes. Like I get that most people want to watch the story or read the dialogue but I dont.

  Old school runescape free to play isnt not worth it. You WILL get addicted and end up paying $100s of dollars a year to waste your life. Try TF2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your gaming highlights of 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Beyond all reason. Its my first RTS in that genre and its amazing. The community is probably the greatest part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 2k hours in rimworld and I cheat like a motherfucker when my favorite pawn dies. I might go through a run having revived the same pawn 10+ times. I’ll do all kinds of weird copes like oh its fine because I will also delete this stack of 10k silver or i’ll delete another pawn as sacrific. However in multiplayer games nah no cheating, I can win fair and square.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure just cause 3 didnt have an option to disable it and it was horrible. They fixed it later I believe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every game should have the option to toggle motion blur off, toggle frame gen and upscaling off.

  you can play on plutonium or something. It has it fixed

  If I recall that was a bug. Generally windows does not randomly start rewriting boot partitions unless maybe you put it into repair mode from the boot menu and you have both partitions on the same disk.

  you’d think they would be happy people are going out of their way to preserve the service. It gives them excuse to shut down their servers if they can point to these. but nope

  You even see it here. People will post “quality journalism” and then it gets attacked because its nuanced and doesnt extrapolate into extreme claims.

  People are so used to the rage-bait and bad journalism that its hard for actual reporting to break through. As well as it takes 1000x more effort to gather the evidence and story for quality reporting. Its bad, we need to start supporting journalists through gov subsidies and donations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate games journalists. I’m sure there are some good ones but most of them are corporate trash and their reviews are thinly veiled ads. They dont care about the games they write about. They dont take the time to learn the games and are just generally bad at games. Basically the entire industry is just shitting out the most dogshit video game opinions 24/7. I’d rather go to Lemmy or Reddit and read what actual players have to say about games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Darktide 67%, X4 at 75% and Hades 75% off are all extremely tempting. I need to start seeding the idea of buying darktide to my friends. I dont even think its worth buying any of these when im so hopelessly addicted to Beyond All Reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just wish people could understand that not all of us are looking for a ‘sense of accomplishment’ from playing a video game. I get that some people value that, great, stop acting like everyone needs to be the same

  Yeah this is why I think the ‘easy mode’ debate is so pointless. Majority of games cater to a frictionless generalized experience with a low barrier to entry (which I find very boring). The few games that try to challenge the players that like to be challenged arent designed to be for everyone. If every game was darksouls i’d understand the ‘easy mode’ side of the argument a lot more.
