- Comment on "Departures are necessary," Crystal Dynamics say as they yet again lay off Tomb Raider staff, but they're "fully committed" to the reboot and sequel 2 days ago:
Gooners.
- Comment on What if glassmorphism and neumorphism had a baby? I redesigned my city-building game's menu window. 1 week ago:
Thank you for the well wishes.
A recent study performed on the large batch of one person revealed that pure black used as menu button colour is unlikely to draw out a positive emotion. When asked for more details, the study participants suggested having a more colourful UI would make it more visually pleasing and subtly influence the player’s perception of the game itself. However, the colour pallet should not be in conflict with the rest of the game or its theme, but rather to complement it.
Both the study participant and I wish you well on your journey.

Nah, didn’t you hear? Ever game that fails does so due to DEI!
- Comment on The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself 2 weeks ago:
The loudest are often the weakest. I’m averagely sure there was a (biased) study made back when it was popular which suggested many of the most intense participants of an online community barely participate in the activity itself and are instead more interested in projecting themselves as leaders or a person of influence in order to dictate or direct actions and narratives.

As divine divinity? Maybe Sacred.
- Comment on Finally a possible path toward peace in this long war 3 weeks ago:
No peace. Only war fueled by annoyance.
- Comment on Never understood this. If something foreign enters you your white blood cells go after it like a dog in heat, Would this not mean that our cells are smart enough to discern bad from good? 3 weeks ago:
They don’t go after everything foreign. They are produced with instructions by which they identify a threat. It’s their production source which provides the instructions and it’s not that smart or we wouldn’t have cases where the immune system attacks the body itself.

But you can swipe the enemy’s feet to knock them down!

New version = old version + ai?

Yup, just some goats walking on two feet.
- Comment on The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst 4 weeks ago:
The devs were going to be laid off either way as that is the standard for today’s crappy industry.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on Reanimal? 4 weeks ago:
It’s been years since I saw it, so my memories are vague and tinted, but they still exist. It’s, well, pretty much what you’d expect from a movie about killer sheep. I liked it at the time.
- Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps 4 weeks ago:
As every generation ends up saying, romance is dead.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on Reanimal? 4 weeks ago:
My thoughts? Well, the poster reminds of me of a flick named “Black Sheep” or something similar where a chemical substance turns sheep murderous.
- Comment on Deathloop 5 weeks ago:
Most endings of so called AAA games are rushed and unsatisfying. It’s the curse of budget limits/cuts.
- Comment on "I hit a cow and the way it fell made me never do it again." (Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon) 5 weeks ago:
I hit a doe in Ghost of Tsushima thinking it will give me skins to upgrade my stuff like pigs do. It didn’t.

Hmm
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 1 month ago:
They usually don’t and have to be “broken in”.
For those few that do so naturally, it’s more of a proto-symbiotic relationship where the rider helps provide food and safety, so they’re kept around as a pet or dumb kid. Also, if a predator wants to bite you, having something on your back to throw at them as a distraction can be pretty damn helpful.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 month ago:
As per my understanding (which isn’t saying much), Steam takes a 30% cut of each sale. In UK, someone with a specific agenda claimed to represent gamers as a class and sued reasoning that the 30% cut inflates the price of games globally even beyond Steam’s store, harming everyone.
Did i understand it right? No idea. What’s the actual goal here? Also no idea. Is Steam the “good guy” in all this? Of course not.

“smart"boot and tpm required. It’s dead to me.
- Comment on Arknights Endfield disables Paypal payments after players report unauthorised transactions | GosuGamers 1 month ago:
Not many who pay for microtransactions are what one would consider to be a smart person.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 1 month ago:
I don’t have specific games to recommend because there are many of many genres. I’d instead suggest to make trying out cooperative games as an experience for you both. The fun will be in exploring them on your own. Or the frustration. He he.

In spirit.

No need to imagine, some plumbing businesses really do act like that.

Technically, they know her now.
- Comment on Hero shooter Highguard reportedly didn't even pay for the Game Awards slot that's earned it so much preemptive hate—the showrunners thought it deserved the spotlight 1 month ago:
As per my understanding from the last VGA comments, it is the private fiefdom of a techbro idiot who neither knows nor cares what people expect.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 12th 2 months ago:
Rogue Legacy. I really suck at these fast paced reaction games. But I’ll farm some gold casually, upgrade everything and maybe i can brute force the bosses.
On a happy note, I won a giveaway of Vampire Bloodlines. I won’t get into it right away, but it’s good to have it again after many years. Ah, the daughters of Janus…
On an eh note, I was going to quit Star trek online, but it started a gamma recruit event. So even though it’s fomo, I’m like “Yes Founder!” for about an hour almost every day. But by now I’ve got a lot of things i don’t use just sitting there collecting dust, so it’s probably on its last legs.
On a bad note, nah just kidding. No bad note for now.

If you consider the universe as the body of said creator, then sure.

Bish please. Man made deity is the most common thread all major civilizations share.
