- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 2 days ago:
Yeah, early access with an apology.
- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 2 days ago:
Dang, they’re a joke.
Weird that they want to expand out of the strategy game genre by turning a love RPG into a basic action adventure game.
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 2 days ago:
He didn’t hype No Man’s Sky. He lied about the game and what it had at release to trick potential customers into making him rich.
“Lie” - a verb with a clear definition and there’s no reason sugarcoat it.
Also, the game didn’t have “free” updates. They made millions selling an unfinished piece of crap to a lot of suckers.

Can’t wait for the next sequel that will be some kind of live-service multiplayer game with lots of cosmetic DLC.
- Comment on At this point it might be the wisest decision 6 days ago:
Calm down Peter Thiel.
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 1 week ago:
“Not enough effects. False advertising”
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 1 week ago:
Super Mario Bros - 1 out of 10 “not enough weapons”

It might only be a 4 today but it COULD be a 16 tomorrow. Hallelujah!
- Comment on Ahead of her time 1 week ago:
I could but I won’t provide proof just like these lying science fiction articles.
- Comment on Ahead of her time 1 week ago:
Every scientific article with “could” in it is bullshit.
I could have a twelve in cock in my pants.
- Comment on 'I've had so many projects that have been discontinued lately': Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's been working on plenty of games—but they keep getting cancelled before he can announce them 1 week ago:
They don’t.
I’m just saying that it would be 100% better than all the shit the billionaires are doing.
- Comment on 'I've had so many projects that have been discontinued lately': Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's been working on plenty of games—but they keep getting cancelled before he can announce them 1 week ago:
Billionaires should be funding whatever Yoko Taro is cooking instead of trying to destroy earth and democracy.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
It seems like you’re too emotionally invested to have a normal conversation like a person.
Health is an app you can delete. It’s not forcing you to do anything. You don’t even need iCloud for anything. You don’t even have to use their walled garden App Store. I know because I download and install shit from the internet all the time.
Yes, it’s free/bsd based. Who cares? I just want it to work and the chassis and build quality on the laptops are excellent.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
That reaction makes sense is a gaming forum because gaming totally sucks on OSX.
OSX is a great OS. I don’t know how anyone can use Windows after 7.

“I’m not interested in that product. It is impossible for someone to be interested in that product.”
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Yeah, it would probably be a better idea for AMD to sell variants of the APUs being used in the current generation of Xbox and PlayStation.
My guess is that those chips are under exclusivity contracts and/or they don’t want to undercut their lucrative discrete GPU and CPU market.
Why sell one efficient product when you can sell two more expensive ones?
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Hackingtosh Steam Machine will definitely happen.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
I will, thanks.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
Where would one be able to see their stock? All I seem to find are $1500 PCs.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
For the same reason there’s other options. Having options alone is more than enough reason.
A motherboard with a built-in GPU has obvious price, cooling design and size advantages.
The only things I suggest to be soldered are the GPU and the VRAM since GPUs are extremely sensitive to their memory setup. CPUs can use off-the-shelf stuff without issue.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if GPU/motherboard manufacturers are not leaving money on the table by not selling an all-in-one gaming motherboard like the one in the Steam Machine.
Built-in GPU and VRAM with the CPU, RAM and cooling optional.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
When a business sells something at a lower price than it costs for the purpose of attracting more customers.
Another example is Costco rotisserie chicken.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 2 weeks ago:
There AAA games.
Then there’s one AAAA game.
Next must be the AAAAA game they’re working on. It’s an extraction shooter.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 weeks ago:
I guess that’s fair.
I found most VR games I tried to be shallow experiences. Resident Evil was cool but it made me feel motion sickness after about 30 minutes.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 weeks ago:
VR is the most expensive toy you will use for a couple of hours before getting bored of it.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 3 weeks ago:
Depends on the mood I’m in.
Zelda BotW is a giant map and mostly chill game that I have tons of fun just taking my time exploring.
Far Cry 3 has me going around murdering folks and clearing camps non-stop at a pretty good pace.
Far Cry 4 was way too much pew pew and it bored me.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 3 weeks ago:
It’s definitely good and it is done in a way that can only be done in video games. Too many video games depend on passive exposition instead of finding actual lore in the world.
- Comment on Capcom doubles down on its decision to go pay-per-view during the Street Fighter League despite the fact that nobody really likes it 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t mind if the money went straight to the pockets of the players.
- Comment on Mexican Government To Tax Violent Video Games It Says Make Kids Violent 3 weeks ago:
Those cartels have been playing M rated pong since the 1970s.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 3 weeks ago:
Fromsoft and Larian are great at this.
BioWare 20 years ago was guaranteed. We might never get another BioWare game I would purchase.
