• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It's not a question of the world being too big or too small, it's the density of interesting things. A giant world with very little worth doing doesn't accomplish much, but similarly a small world where you're absolutely tripping over things that feel like you shouldn't skip them will also feel claustrophobic.

  Interestingly, the traversal system can help a LOT here. Even a world that has a lot of wide open dead space can feel good if the process of crossing that space is itself fun. Dune: Awakening comes to mind here, where there are large spans of open desert that you need to cross, but ripping across the dunes on my sandbike was so much fun I didn't mind the dead ground.

  Which is why I fully stopped playing after the last pointless update.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You never missed anything important⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Skill issue. The phone doesn't do anything on it's own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You never missed anything important⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah not true at all. If you think you're worse off for having a cell phone, the problem isn't the phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone try the demo for Tavern Keeper on Steam yet? It's....... yeah.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So your position is that Greenheart Games, which as far as I can tell has fewer than 10 employees, is too corporate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The GOP doesn't think they are fascists. They think the term is only being used to try to deride them without actually being correct. From there, when they see "Anti-fascists" constantly opposing THEM, they think it's just some violent group that has used an ad hominem attack for their name.

  It would be comparable to someone making an anti-shithead group, and then that group is always out trying to stop you from doing whatever you do. Not only would they be a direct problem for you, but the fact that they're targeting you would imply then that they're also calling you a shithead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny toy things being sold at Walmart⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why even bother? If they're gonna put them in a locked case so you have to go get someone to get one for you, nobody is going to buy them. Anyone that open with that sort of thing wouldn't be shopping at walmart for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: EA is going private.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All we can hope for is that after EA gets absolutely gutted, a bunch of new indy splinter studios spring up to use their development experience minus the corpo cash grabbery.

  I'm not sure if the creator of this food crime should be forced to eat it all, or if we should burn it in nuclear fire before it has the chance to reproduce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  "There's no such thing as bad press" is such a dogshit saying that is demonstrably untrue. There is absolutely bad press, just because we're talking about it doesn't mean it's good for the product. For every one schmuck who thinks they'll buy Borderlands 4 just to prove how good their computer is, there's a hundred people who have decided never to buy it at all and half if them have written off gearbox entirely.

  This guy is why PR consultants and Social Media teams exist. Some people just should not have contact with the public. However good he might or might not be in his work on the project itself, someone should have told him to sit down and shut up and let someone who knows how not to damage the entire game with a single statement handle the communication.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It's adorable that you think "stubborn homophobes" wouldn't end a friendship over someone coming out. I genuinely wish they did just become curious and eventually accepting, instead of immediately rejecting and intimidating and expressing feelings of disgust and revulsion.

  Wait a minute! That fact isn't very fun at all!
