• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The highest-rated games and what the people say⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I read the bad reviews and if a reasoning that appeals to my tastes repeats, I’ll believe it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What free to play games can run smoothly on my old laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gog has a small list of free games. Some can even be modded further, like Daggerfall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what my coworker pictures every time I say lemmy.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be portrayed by Pedro Pascal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨50/50 chance this is a shit post⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Smart bidet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What, you didn’t see the pretty flower at the end?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good games to play while sick?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something very chill. Your brain needs rest, more so if you’re running a fever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No offense, but your history makes you seem like an ad bot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gore porn, yay!
  This trailer could be interpreted as a fundamentalist vegan ad. “Beware the sin of flesh in all its forms, for it shall bring forth the wrath of the elder gods!! Yield and repent! Return to Floral and partake in their flowering seeds!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Game Awards begins 11 hours from now. What are you looking forward to?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have resting bitch face?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When they seem genuinely happy, yet they snarl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s more to do with its ongoing clash against Tencent. If they allow this to keep going, it may damage their chances on that side as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh, that's... umm....⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bosnians, probably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winter burrow SBI controversy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As per my understanding, Sweet Baby Inc was/is a DEI consultant that would advise on accurate portrayal of minorities in games that wished to have them represented.

  How accurate they were/are or how much their input is being used, I can’t say, however the easily swayed have taken to the idea they’re an evil shadowy cabal that mind controls companies and has them add brainwashing techniques meant to bring about the downfall of western society (the MAGAts that is).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To the rapidly aging person reading this: GameFAQs is 30 years old, and people are sharing their memories of the venerable guide hub⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As i recall, the files were user submitted so it was more of a tacit consent of plagiarism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To the rapidly aging person reading this: GameFAQs is 30 years old, and people are sharing their memories of the venerable guide hub⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when Gamefaqs was hated for stealing individual creators’ walkthroughs. Obviously, that didn’t pan out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ambitious new Crusader Kings 3 expansion All Under Heaven is a win for Paradox, right when it needed it most⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Disagree, but then again I’m not the intended audience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The dream is playing music on the strings of reality.
  A phone is just a pitstop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods app adds new context menus, Stardew Valley FOMOD support, and work towards Bethesda games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was sold off to venture capitalists. So obviously it’s going to get much worse before finally dying off in a ditch somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Everything Is Fake, What’s the Point of Social Media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Escapism.

  There was an episode in Stargate SG-1 where they find some pretty lights in a temple and they couldn’t take their eyes off it.
  The longer you feeded the addiction, the easier it made you forget about everything else, until you forgot to eat, drink or sleep.

  Not saying social media has the same properties but.. “It’s fun”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 460 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also provided the udders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom they're fighting again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm… I am a quack, therefore I duck?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GOG isn’t really recommended for games still being actively worked on. At heart it’s meant for complete games ready for archiving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey Lois, remember the time when it all came tumbling down? That was sweet.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this part of those OpenAI porn ads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It may be that some games are dropping the ball and so players are looking to flock somewhere else.

  For example, Helldivers 2 has some loud complainers who advertised both Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders as potential alternates.
  Word of mouth can do a lot of damage if the mouth is loud and persistent enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think about her⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They call her Barbie because she has barbs around herself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony accuses Tencent of playing a 'shell game' with its Horizon-like survival game, seeks a preliminary injunction against it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll get Escape from Tarkov vs Escape from Duckov and you’ll like it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Guess it’s really Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2: The Masquerade instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That didn't last long - Blue Protocol: Star Resonance anti-cheat causing problems on Linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to try it, but then I read it was a hollowed out carcass of a Japanese game that went under and was bought out by Tencent’s tethered minions.
  Now that they added crap on top of it, i no longer see the needed to actually wade into those murky waters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 director confirms Arrowhead are biting the addition delay bullet while working on performance fixes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the meantime, they should make a Helldivers offshoot called Helldivers: Full Steam Ahead, where they dive into Steam’s discussion forums and try to survive the bile lords on that planet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A player before me destroyed a bridge in [the Tides of Tomorrow] demo, so I had to build it again in this narrative adventure where your choices have consequences for others⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty of games have features that rarely get used or no longer attract interest after some years.
  So the ones that do and do it well should be appreciated.

  And yes, seeing mentors on the map can get weird when you don’t know what’s going on with them. Real weird.
