- Comment on What demos have you been playing in the Steam Next Fest? 1 week ago:
I was a bit gloomy going into this Nextfest because of all the AI doomerism surrounding it, but it turned out to be one of the better ones I’ve experienced tbh.
Some games I appreciated:
ROBIN: Chill tile-laying deckbuilder.
Ballistic.exe: “ARMA without the fun”, interesting and stylised ballistics simulator / gun building game.
Kopernicus: Incremental Suffering: Surrealist horror-game. Check it out if you like surrealist titles like Hylics or Brutal Orchestra.
Probably Stolen: You run a stall in a Cyberpunk dystopia, would recommend.
Dungeons & Dynasties: Meta-DnD, you run an adventurers guild in a simulated world based on DnD (had performance issues in this one on Linux)

PC ends up being so much cheaper in the long run… Far better game prices and no subscription cancer

Honestly, the value for money in the gaming industry is the best its ever been outside of AAA and consoles.
Market spending correlates this, more money than ever is being spent but its focussed on indies, AAA sales have been dropping.

Elden ring was a bit better: Everything is either weak to or completely resistant vs holy, flip a coin

That’s intellectually lazy, companies quite simply aren’t equally capitalistic (sociopathic)

Me when I’m in a bootlicking competition and my opponents are Nintendo fanboys… (They love corpo boot when it sells them colourful characters from their childhoods)

Their games are good. Their prices, lawsuits, exclusives, and hardware are all shit.

…You should make sure you know the actual technical definition of an algorithm if you’re gonna be semantically pedantic.

When drafting legislation you’re right, but she is not actively drafting legislation, she is proposing an idea to the public.
Good communication means tailoring your language to your audience.

Original Instagram too. I never went back after they changed it like a decade ago.

Fr, how anyone still pays extra for Nvidia’s bullshit is crazy to me.

You’re falling for performative shit that wouldn’t realistically save anyone, by a dude that never has his camera crew more than a few mins away.
Les Shroud is the real deal.

Sheesh, should take a slice from the Dutch and start ramming people tbh
- Comment on Anon becomes a landscape 2 months ago:
“Creepy landscape boy” feels made up. Children are way more imaginative, especially when it comes to derogatory nicknames.
No “Horny Hill Henry”, “Masturbatin’ mountain mike”, “Lickin’ Lakes Liam”, …?
- Comment on the last season was so ass 2 months ago:
Season 2 of Twin Peaks was ass though, only picks up when Lynch rejoins
