Obduction was okay, great world but really a slog to play. I got up to the end and couldn’t be bothered to actually finish it.
- 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 4 days ago:
Problem is, there’s no such thing as bad press. Here we are talking about it.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 6 days ago:
Is Borderlands really all that popular still? Like I remember seeing the first few games everywhere, and people talking about them, but that was years ago. I realize I’m biased but I would expect to hear something about them…
- Comment on This game is fantastic. 1 week ago:
Most of the quality is below even amateur level. Like middle school level writing.

Should they be consolidated into one post then? It’s just bothersome to see a bunch of ads (because let’s be real, trailers are ad material) dumped in quick succession. The only ones I’d watch are for games I’m interested in playing, but for the ones I really want to play, I’d rather go in mostly blind so I won’t watch those either.
It’s not just one trailer, either, it’s announcement, release date, “now on steam”, cinematic trailer, gameplay trailer, release announcement trailer.

Trailer dumping: useful content, or ad spam?

BoTW did pretty good. Prime 1 was relatively open world. In BoTW, you could get to a lot of places, but some were still semi-gated by damaging cold, damaging heat, inability to climb slippery walls. In Prime 1, you could get to a lot of places, but some were still semi-gated by damaging heat, damaging radiation, inability to climb spider ball tracks. But in both games, if you knew the tricks, you could get around those gates (though in BoTW this was intentional, in the Prime games it was not).

You are in the extreme minority. The Switch 2 is already selling better than the original.

Amnesia, obviously
- Comment on The number of mis-issued 1.1.1.1 certificates grows. Here’s the latest. 2 weeks ago:
Nah. A CA that issues fraudulent certificates will have its signing certs revoked by the root CA.
But that requires actual fraud. This sounds like someone used 1.1.1.1 for testing, when they should have used 192.0.2.0/24 or something. That subnet is specifically reserved.
- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 2 weeks ago:
I was thinking TV, but there’s already Samsung’s The Frame™.
- Comment on Does a "SuperTuxKart Remastered" or similar exist? 3 weeks ago:
It’s open source, you’re welcome to do it. STK is GPL while Godot is MIT, so I don’t know if that would be easy.
But I doubt the STK project would be receptive to that. You’d be doing it on your own, and STK has a pretty small audience as it is.
Perhaps you should see if the STK project wants developers to improve the graphics quality (while still remaining performant on old devices).
- Comment on Suggest some games according to my laptop's hardware 3 weeks ago:
Solitaire, minesweeper, retro games, nethack, that pinball game from Windows 7

Doesn’t hurt to grab it anyway.

I don’t think it stands for anything.

No, no one wants to go to Walmart’s meetings. But Walmart has a lot of weight to throw around in retail, so if you want them to stock your products you have to glaze them.

This is all too common for a company of this size. Bigger doesn’t mean better.
- Comment on Nintendo Direct Announced for Tomorrow Focused on Kirby Air Riders 4 weeks ago:
MP4 is going to be on Switch, no need for a Switch 2.
- Comment on What foss MP games are still active? 5 weeks ago:
I know red eclipse is under active development, but I think its parent project Sauerbraten might have more players. I haven’t checked in years though.
- Comment on A List of Open Source Game Clones 5 weeks ago:
Probably, but 1:1 reproductions of assets, especially to reproduce the whole game, would be a copyright violation.

Are the individual games linked to Ukraine?
- Comment on SoupDealer Malware Bypasses Every Sandbox, AV's and EDR/XDR in Real-World Incidents 5 weeks ago:
In live incidents, SoupDealer bypassed host‐based antivirus checks by confirming no security products were active before proceeding.
That’s a pretty narrow victim demographic. Windows has Defender enabled out of the box. I don’t see any investigation on the C2 connection, either, so I’m left wondering who the attacked and intended targets are.

The best part is how he hates it when a mod changes something in his mod.
- Comment on Young men are struggling in a slowing job market, even if they have college degrees 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, seeing than one truck isn’t remarkable. But when you see that unique truck again, then it’s significant.
Like 100-year floods. Seeing that one truck once a year? Unremarkable. When you start seeing it far more often than you have before? Something changed.

- Comment on Windows User Account Control Bypassed Using Character Editor to Escalate Privileges 1 month ago:
Lol “carefully crafted sequence”. This is just like back in early versions of Windows where the login screen let you open a help menu, which let you open a file picker, which let you open any file.
Windows is a pile of shit stacked way too high.

No, they can’t. The BIOS prompts the user to confirm the change on reboot. If the change is not confirmed, it doesn’t happen.
