- Comment on US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects” 1 week ago:
That said, the German government wants to get rid of renewables too.
Because they’re maniacs feasting on and being pulled out of Mango Mussolinis Arsehole.
With our demographics though it’s the government that was to be expected and - if there’s no miracle waiting around the corner - might be the best government for many years to come. I’m so sick of this shit.
- Comment on Sony plans to minimize effect of rising PlayStation 5 memory costs by boosting software and network service revenue, according to CFO 4 months ago:
I’m sitting on a vast library of games I barely touched - as well as classics I return to even after 20+ years.
I don’t need to buy your shit. But you need me to buy it.
- Comment on I will be taking no followup questions. Thank you for your time 8 months ago:
That explanation is very pictorial yet wrong.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 9 months ago:
It’s the same with my XBox Series S. It’s just sitting there, collecting dust. Just as my steam library. My switch though has seen some rise in usage during the past few months as my kids are getting old enough to play video games and I prefer them to do this instead of binging Cocomelon…

epic sound track
That’s the one thing where I would raise an objection. An epic soundtrack is that one thing that adds to the experience more than fancy graphics or overly complicated game mechanics. Epic doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. Monkey Island had phantastic soundtracks, as well as other older games like The Settlers 2, early Anno games etc. They just set a mood. They supported their narratives. That was good stuff - and I guess you might now be able to extrapolate how old I am.

Half a decade for a subpar product that’s barely out of beta.
Back in the day we’ve got subpar products barely out of beta that we had to patch from magazine cds far faster. Oh - and they were more fun because developers had to make something out of nothing. I feel today, where everything is possible as the engine used delivers a toolset for anything, games easily are so overly stuffed with “mechanics” that they just feel like work. I don’t like that.
