- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 1 week ago:
Red Dead Redemption 2
It’s the same old Rockstar formula of having you travel back and forth over the map just to do a normal mission and falls short of giving the cowboy fantasy everyone touts it as being. They added enough detail that your horse’s balls shrink in the cold but made it so easy to get money that whilst your merry band of outlaws are complaining about how little they have, I struggled to find more things to buy with immense hoards of cash. And the bounty system doesn’t work. And the multiplayer was total ass. And part way through the fantastical cowboy simulator, it adds goofy sidequests of time travel and robots. Rockstar couldn’t decide what to make the game so they tried to make it everything, leaving it lacklustre.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 2 weeks ago:
It’s very easy, if a game doesn’t have invasive data thieving anticheat, then it will run on Linux, otherwise it won’t.
Can you be clearer about this? The majority of games I play on PC are online multiplayer.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 2 weeks ago:
So I’d need to check that site for every game I want to play? Presumably if there isn’t a user report for whatever distro I’m using (how do you go about choosing one? Guessing from your comment that some work better with certain components than others) the only option is to buy the game in the hope of it working whilst preparing for X hours of faffing about to get it to work?
Protondb also looks to be focused on Steam, I’m guessing it’s like MacOS where if it’s a game not on Steam then you’re shit out of luck if there isn’t a Linux specific version?
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 2 weeks ago:
Gaming on Linux is better than it ever has been, but there are some games that just won’t run on Linux.
Is there any way of telling which ones will and won’t run on Linux? How does running them on Linux differ from Windows?
Avoid Nvidia graphics due to driver complexities.
Well, I’m fucked if that’s the case as both my machines have Nvidia GPUs.

So you also like it? You disagree with everything I said… including the part where I said I don’t like it? It sounds like you just want to be antagonistic.
If you’re deliberately misinterpreting what they said like that, you’re the one being antagonistic.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 2 weeks ago:
I think more people, myself included, would be willing to consider Linux we weren’t met with people being complete assholes when asking for help or direction.

As ever, no negative consequences at all for Discord.

They’re not but there’s no recourse for it.

- Comment on Parents outraged as Meta uses photos of schoolgirls in ads targeting man 4 weeks ago:
Hang on, so I need to upload government ID and/or a selfie in order to access “adult material” in order to protect kids but Meta trying to bait men with pictures of girls under the age of consent is perfectly fine? What the fuck is happening?
- Comment on Valve apologizes for ruining a Steam game's launch 4 weeks ago:
Valve should absolutely be doing more to fix their mistake.
- Comment on Valve apologizes for ruining a Steam game's launch 4 weeks ago:
That’s definitely not the norm for indie devs on Steam. They are heavily reliant on wishlists because it automatically notifies when the game is released and on sale; it’s why the call to action for indie games is to wishlist it.

Simply bully your friends into having weekly mandated game time.

Shocked that they haven’t already had ads.
Has anyone used a smart fridge? I’m struggling to think of what features I’d actually end up using.

SOLD!
(Dare I even ask what happened?)
- Comment on Notorious boardgame Twilight Imperium is getting a digital version 5 weeks ago:
I love playing big, involved boardgames and their designs are fantastic but trying to teach it to someone and do all of the admin of resolving moves can make it feel like a chore.
For example, I’ve played Nemesis precisely once. It took HOURS to get through because of learning all the rules etc. Loved it, love the design, would be freakin’ perfect if there was a digital version which automates the faff.

Don’t need to be a fucking pilot to know that a plane shouldn’t be upside down in the trees.

Advanced purchasers get access to a special gamestate: “Fucked”.
- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 5 weeks ago:
Depends on where you live, I suppose. Where I am, you can’t have someone hook up their phone to a bluetooth speaking to play the world’s most tame Spotify playlist but they will absolutely have the radio on at all times.
- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 5 weeks ago:
“This is Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica. This month he was planning to install a gold plated shark tank bar beside his pool, but thanks to people like you downloading his music, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it.”
- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 5 weeks ago:
But seriously, why do they even bother with labels then?
Labels provide the upfront capital for things like recording studios, distribution (traditionally, less so nowadays when there’s not a physical product to distribute), publicity, marketing, live shows, etc in exchange for a percentage and usually with a contract that the artist will make X many albums with them.
Although things are slowly changing, you are unlikely to be doing huge tours at sold out venues and getting your songs played on the radio unless you have the substantial money to do so in the first place.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash 5 weeks ago:
It’s unacceptable for games from big studios to be released in such a shoddy state. At this point, the best bet as a consumer is to wait 3 months before buying anything.

Picked up the Indiana Jones game which is actually pretty fun. Also been trying to get into playing Total War: Warhammer 2 but a lot of it feels like an exercise in frustration (I might just not be very good at it).

They could be referring to those weird features in Win11 where it records what you type and takes periodic screenshots.
