Good thing that this shit won’t run on AMD cards anyways lmao. AMD saving me once again.

Because people like us in the tactics genre really are used to incredibly buggy and laggy games. XCOM, anything made by paradox - all of that suffers from performance issues and gameplay bugs. It’s a bit like buying something from bethesda - you just expect those kinds of problems, which is why it doesn’t really influence our rating.

Replace “wasn’t” with “is” and you’re correct. I still love XCOM 2, play it to this day. But it’s a buggy mess and sometimes it feels it’s just held together with software-ducttape and positive thoughts lmao.

Funfact, I wrote “beaten to death” before but wasn’t sure if overzealous mods ban me for it lmaoo
- Comment on 2XKO Active Development Will End in December 2026 2 weeks ago:
Imagine putting millions of dollars and years of development into a game just to shut it down because it doesn’t take off immediately.
The horseshits execs that made this decision should be beat up.
- Comment on Do you consider GTA VI overpriced? 1 month ago:
I don’t think I can consider it “overpriced” before I even played it. If it’s a 20 hour mediocre story - yeah, it probably is overpriced. But if I put as much time into GTA VI as I’ve put into GTA V, it’s going to be a great deal for me personally.

I’m not sure if you replied to the correct post mate because nothing you said has been said by me lmao.
Poor people deserve luxuries as well
Idk where I have ever said they don’t. But you don’t get to buy something for a set price that is clearly communicated before and then demand a refund when you find out it’s actually cheaper lmao. That’s the dumbest take ever and the fact you would sue for it is beyond me.
If the device was locked behind a 50€/month subscription or something that wasn’t communicated clearly before, hey, go sue. Absolutely appropriate. But buying something and then sueing later because you want money back for no other reason than: “WELL THEY GET MONEY BACK!” is karen behavior.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 1 month ago:
If you buy something that you don’t need to survive, you are apparently fine with the price.
If you are, you should not ask for a partial refund.
If you aren’t, why are you buying it in the first place?

I know you added the /s and it’s obvious satire, but this exact sentence was probably said by some exec when the support asked for direction on how to handle this.
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 1 month ago:
at the very least the people who brag in reviews about finishing a game and liking it, should have their refund denied or overturned
Which means the death of the “no questions asked” refund policy. That’s my entire point.
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 1 month ago:
Well, the dev is absolutely right. It’s really unfortunate for him that some trash subhuman scum abuses it in such a way, but overall I’d still argue that the refund policy benefits people more than it harms.
I think the only sensible solution for devs would be to make games that are longer than 2 hours. Add some additional content that drags the game across that line. You already got a working game - take another month, add some more content.
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 1 month ago:
unless devs are scummy and do it after one achievement
Well guess what will happen.
This is something which will never have a solution that makes both players and devs happy. Someone always gets shafted.
- Comment on "My 'Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand' statement isn't aging well" - id Software co-founder John Carmack speaks out after devastating Xbox layoffs 1 month ago:
No, but that was the time when every tech company could basically generate money out of big userbases and empty promises. If you don’t have to worry about making money, you don’t have to enshittify something. Companies like uber would not exist in todays market because investors wouldn’t subsidize that company for years until it finally turns a profit. Hell, I think uber just turned profitable in early 2024, and I highly doubt that in todays market, investors will subsidize companies like OpenAI for 11 years.

that was a moronic thing to say at the time
I assume he wasn’t genuinely thinking that, but rather didn’t want to burn any bridges with microsoft. That company is so big that you never know when you might come across it in the tech space.
- Comment on Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole 2 months ago:
A tale as old as time. There’s people who buy clothing for a wedding or some other event, for example, and then refund it since you have a 14 day refund window in europe (or at least the DACH area) for basically anything you buy. Companies like zalando have a global 50% return rate across everything they sell.
Sadge, but you can’t make everyone happy. Overall, I’d argue that the 2 hour return policy for steam is overall more of a benefit to consumers than it is a detriment for developers. And then again, you can always add a bit more content to the game to make it longer.
- Comment on Neverness to Everness has patched out a character’s shorts in favor of panties following complaints 2 months ago:
That sounds a bit too quick to me and more like they already had the model ready
I would assume that they have multiple models of each character ready, potentially for future skin releases or maybe just as a “what if X looks like that”, as some sort of “proof of concept”.

Have you even looked at the linked patchnotes? I don’t think that “Added support for GameCube controller rumble when the adapter is in PC mode” is something linus torvalds fixed personally in the linux kernel lmao.
And, for the sake of the argument, let’s say all of those improvements are upstream linux kernel improvements. Then valve still has to pull them, build a new build and push it, something that no major company can be assed to do. And that effort is still commendable.

ngl that’s still 6000 bucks, 4000 if you subtract app store fees. That’s a damn good result for an app you can probably code in 15 minutes.

To me, it seems more like they didn’t expect a 100€ controller to sell that well. I certainly wouldn’t in this economy tbh.

I love people who make uneducated claims about products they don’t know.
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 months ago:
I’m a bit confused, I reserved mine on may 8th, and I didn’t even get a notification that the steam controller is on sale again. Did I just somehow miss it or was my reservation too late?
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 2 months ago:
You might be, but at the end of the day, does it matter? The core point of gaming is to have fun, no matter how long you need. As long as you’re not frustrated by the game, I think that’s fine.
Maybe the game also isn’t for you - there’s so many different genres. Some people are shit at soulslike games, and there is nothing wrong with NOT enjoying a game. They might enjoy something different.
Now, what I personally have a gripe with is people being shit at games and crying online that it’s “too hard” and they NEED to make it easier instead of, you know, not playing the game they apparently have no fun with. But in your case - take all the time you need, have fun and if you start to not have fun, stop the game.
With the crashes, idk, but that could be fixable by asking in communities for the game or maybe submitting a bugreport directly to the developer.

- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 months ago:
Fallout 76
The game was a fucking dumpster fire on release, but honestly, I really enjoyed the item grind and the build system. I was building some really cool houses back then and I probably spend a vast majority of my time with that.
Haven’t touched it in years tho. Idk how it is today.

- Comment on Bar hired local artist to paint the bathroom doors. The pictures were her idea 2 months ago:
Let’s say you, believing yourself a man, go to use the men’s restroom. I look at you, see that you look “chestier” than my idea of a man, and you’re in the men’s restroom!!
Which wouldn’t be a problem because men can defend themselves from other men. Also, men usually aren’t raped somewhere outside - men rape usually occurs in relationships, and at a MUCH lower rate than for women. I don’t have a problem with trans-men going to the mens bathroom. I have a problem with trans-WOMEN going to the WOMENS bathroom because women should be protected from this kind of harassment. Men do not experience that level of harassment.
The fact that you can’t even realize such a simple thing and you unironically thought it’s some kind of “gotcha” moment or whatever just proofs my point that you are living in a delusion where the world is a merry place and everyone gets a pony for his 12th birthday. So any kind of discussion with you in this regard is completely useless since you can’t even understand the simplest concepts.
Feel free to type some more nonsense, but I honestly can’t be bothered to read it anymore.

“anecdotes” yeah what’s the fate of a few women, right. Fuck’em I’d say.
Show me realistic evidence
Bro no fucking evidence on gods green earth would convince you. You’ve dug yourself into a delusion you can’t escape from. I could show you a fucking video of a trans person raping a woman and you’d be like: “Ah well NOOO she’s just saying hello!” or some bullshit.
I’m just glad that overall politics worldwide goes against you and your insane views. I’m certainly not agreeing with everything they do, but I certainly do agree on that.
