- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 4 hours ago:
Rockstar is American, based in NYC. Their subsidiary Rockstar North does most of the GTA games and is based in Scotland.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 3 days ago:
Yeah. Give them that amount back in game credit so they can make the purchase again.

So you probably want a top-down image of a piece of equipment then? Neither a blob nor an icon.
- Comment on Emoji blobs or construction vehicles? Help me choose my game's visual identity | 😊 vs 🚜 | 4 days ago:
Depends. How are you defining your art style?
- Comment on Vince Zampella, video game developer behind 'Call of Duty' franchise, killed in mountain road crash 1 week ago:
Doesn’t seem to be deprived of wrecks at all.

- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
If it’s trained on licensed material, would that be acceptable?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Awards like these are inherently subjective. You don’t have to draw an objective line anywhere.

They will also send alerts if a game is available at price point you choose.
- Comment on Fake ‘One Battle After Another’ torrent hides malware in subtitles 2 weeks ago:
I did that for a while. It didn’t find any. I think because there weren’t any to find.
- Comment on After Black Ops 7's weaker launch, Call of Duty will no longer do back-to-back releases in the same series 3 weeks ago:
Why not CoD2?
MW3 was the one where Russia invades the US, right? That one was good. I think the next one, BO2, was the last one I played. After that, they really fell into the rut of minor iteration.
I might get around to playing some of the others that aren’t in the “high tech” genre. Apparently there was one set during Desert Storm.

That’s not a spoon. This is a spoon.

Citizen Kane.
You watch it now, and it’s just a regular movie. But in 1941, it was incredibly unorthodox. It set the benchmark for modern movies.

Or, because it’ll hurt more, you twit.
- Comment on As ‘Hitman’ Turns 25, IO Interactive CEO Talks Eminem-Slim Shady Collab, ‘007 First Light’ Inspiration and Future of the Video Game Franchise: ‘Of Course There’s Going to Be’ a ‘Hitman 4’ 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think the lead level designer is making those decisions.
- Comment on A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game. 4 weeks ago:
Did you use any engine or framework for this, or built it from pure code and gl libs?
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 5 weeks ago:
Alt+F4 usually works for that
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 5 weeks ago:
Also just plain support that. Too many games lock up or outright crash if they lose focus.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 5 weeks ago:
Not a setting, but a “here’s what you did last time/here’s where you need to go now”. If it’s been a little while since I played the game, I shouldn’t be lost trying to figure out where I am or where I’m going.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Indie and slop are not mutually exclusive. Something can be both.
- Comment on Hackers Replace 'm' with 'rn' in Microsoft(.)com to Steal Users' Login Credentials 5 weeks ago:
Kerning when it’s good, keming when it’s bad.
- Comment on Hackers Replace 'm' with 'rn' in Microsoft(.)com to Steal Users' Login Credentials 5 weeks ago:
Technically no, since it’s different characters. This is keming.
- Comment on Samus Aran drawing I made 5 weeks ago:
No, I thought so too, but I hunted down OP’s accounts. Here’s his Instagram: www.instagram.com/electricbrainstem/
And if you look at his past comments, he describes his drawing process, and it sounds realistic.
But you’re right that this is a drawn copy of a promo image, and he sells them, especially as tattoo stencils. This is a veiled ad.

- Comment on Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM? 1 month ago:
Dell offers Ubuntu on some models.
You might get better answers in a Linux community, since that’s the focus of your question.
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 1 month ago:
I mean he quit working for Microsoft and started Valve because he disagreed with their direction.

Anyone else read shopId as stupid?
- Comment on UK union accuses GTA maker Rockstar Games of firing employees attempting to organise 1 month ago:
They’ve been doing this for a week or two now. No one is quite sure, but usually they’d do it so the admins don’t get a “ban with removal” option.
But the stuff they post seems to be relevant, on-topic, useful material, so I don’t get it.
