Am I not allowed to be infuriated on the mildly infuriating community? I don’t care why it was put in there or if they’re going to remove it after seeing this post. I’m here to vent because I find it scammy to force this on every player (most of which didn’t even play multiplayer) despite not even listing it on the store page like they’re supposed to.

I was going to say they should go porcelain if it’s in location but I guess they don’t trust kids with them. Can’t stop thinking of microplastics tho

I was today years old when I learned Doom has a multiplayer.. And I doubt many people buy this for its multiplayer. They could selectively ask those who click on the multiplayer if that was their concern.
Looking at achievement stats, 32% of people finished the campaign while 12% of people won a multiplayer match. So I’m not alone in thinking of Doom as a single player game

Probably bought this as part of a bundle a long time ago. And I don’t feel like spending time pirating it while it’s already installed

But if Samsung’s firmware keys or whatever leaked, wouldn’t that apply to all of them? It’s not like they reinvent all their infrastructure for each phone.
Actually, I take it back. These things do happen in the mobile world, they’re just not released publicly. Celebrite etc just gobble them up

Strong ai slop vibes emanating from the article. It’s full of contradictions and listicles. The information density feels way too high for something ai written, but at the very least they must’ve used an ai to fuck up the sentences

Why is it always game consoles that get these leaks and not like, phone firmware or gpu vbios

Just in case you’re serious, I’m not the person who complained about politics being present. I’m just baffled that they were getting piled on because people either think or pretend to think that Luigi isn’t a political figure from the US.
It is an insane statement to say excluding US events feeds into hyper nationalism. The daily domestic news cycle of the US has no effect on the lives of most people in the world. This has nothing to do with nationalism, it’s just geography. And Americans aren’t some oppressed minority that need media exposure. Not to forget that this is a meme about something everyone already heard about, not a news story about a new thing. Being reminded of US politics in random memes simply has no benefit to anyone.
It’s fine if you like seeing memes featuring US politics. You can argue that. You don’t have to launder an opinion into a objective fact to do so.
- Comment on Orange man good 3 weeks ago:
Are we seriously arguing if American politics count as American politics or world politics??

It’s an American guy who is being tried in America for killing an American health insurance ceo, which is a thing that’s a problem particularly in America

In news for what? He didn’t win a song contest. The only reason anyone recognizes him is because he briefly became the face of class warfare. You know, completely apolitical stuff

- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 5 weeks ago:
I think it’d be better to have assist modes than difficulty options. As difficulty is traditionally associated with changing things like health and damage (or worse, opaquely disabling mechanics) that are fundamental to game balance I think it is too easy to be abused as a cop out from having to balance the game.
Things like slowing the pace of the game, adding aim assist, visual indicators for audio cues, more lenient hit boxes, more frequent saves would be way more useful imo. Optional mechanics or modifiers can exist, but they shouldn’t be bundled with other random stuff.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 5 weeks ago:
- Description of the effects and hardware demands of graphics options.
- An actual benchmark for ’optimized settings’ (even if it’s just crunching numbers) instead of hardcoded GPU names.
- Clear indication of which difficulty the game was balanced for.
- Msaa. Hate running old games at 200 fps with jagged edges and blur thanks to fxaa.
- Instant controls switching between controller and keyboard. Tired of games that pick input type at startup, pick input glyphs at startup, ignore first button press from a different input before switching, disable controller if keyboard input is detected etc etc.
- Not games but steam: just let me force steam input on all games like Proton.
Also how ‘full potato’ do you want it to be? I assume the settings don’t scale below low, so it’d be just turning off shadows, reflections etc. Would even the lowest resolution textures fit in the vram of an older card? And besides, the engine is probably designed for modern multi core cpus so even if the graphics could be scaled down it might not run well

Conversely I can’t remember a game in recent memory that didn’t let me pause in cutscenes.
Just off of my head: Ubisoft games, Control, Shadow of Mordor, Crysis, Witchers, Borderlands 2, Devil May Cry, Celeste support it.

Fake blogs scraped from Reddit used to be fairly common and they weren’t even exclusive to product reviews. Although it is surprising you found one that’s still up, I’d assumed they wpuld die off after the api purge.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
While I do change them if I feel things are seriously off, I don’t think changing the settings mid-playthrough is the solution. It is normal for the same game to have different difficulties at different times so if you’re adjusting difficulty mid fly on a first playthrough you probably won’t get the same highs and lows as intended. It is impossible to know from the first stages how the difficulty ramps up, sometimes they are easier, sometimes they are just mechanically simpler and sometimes they are purposefully difficult so you have to learn key mechanics.
Difficulty options are like consumable potions to me if that makes sense
