For just viewing image files, qView is much nicer. It literally just opens images.

That’s good community idea. And I’m on the right instance for it. Remedy is Finnish, after all.

Did you get the scare that can happen in the Mind Place?
There’s one point in the story, where after interacting with the clue board and exiting out, turning around, a cultist will appear in the room.
If you got used to just switching between the different things in the mind place using the buttons, though, instead of walking around, it never happens.

The environments in the game are truly insane.
The mind place IMO is one of the most graphically impressive rooms I’ve seen in any game. Saga looks SO REAL in it.

That pedestal being, that they keep making games that are just plain good, despite at the same time being involved with shit industry practices by working with Microsoft and Epic?
I think that particular pedestal is pretty fucking deserved.
- Comment on Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 2 weeks ago:
Ok. Unfortunately it sounds like you’re asking to stop liking a studio that I like, based on speculation about how a future title of theirs might work. That’s not an actionable argument.
The change we both want isn’t going to come from voting with our wallets, but even harder.
It’ll come from something like this.
- Comment on Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 2 weeks ago:
We know one of their WIP titles is a PvE multiplayer game set in their connected universe. Aside from that, nothing more is known, except for your generic corporate “we’re excited about our future projects with Remedy” statements from 505.
I’d be very suprised if Remedy turns around and makes it overtly exploitative.
- Comment on Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 2 weeks ago:
Extremely unlikely. AW2 was funded by epic, not just paid off to be a timed exclusive like Control (which was publushed by 505).
That means Epic decides where it gets distributed.
- Comment on Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 2 weeks ago:
It’s published by Epic (Control was published by 505). Unless Epic significantly compromises on their insistence of pushing the Epic store, it wont happen.
Ever.

They wont.
Remedy games have been “underperforming” despite rave reviews for a while. Yet they’ve been chugging along doing what they think is neat, instead of caving into the current money-making models.
And in this case, the Epic partnership definitely hurt the game. And they know it did. Before AW2, it was microsoft putting the breaks of Quantum Break despite it being great.
Control was the first time since Max Payne I felt they truly achieved the success that their level of quality deserves (and even then it was a timed epic exclusive).
Now Remedy has set themselves up to finally self-publish the follow-up to Control. I can’t wait.
Remedy has fans, but something always seems to get in the way.

You don’t have to update every day. Or whatever.
My system is set to check for updates only once a month, because the rest of the time I want to be using it.

Close enough, but not closest. I would say “Bearie” is closer. You wouldn’t call an actual bear “bearlike” but you might name it “Bearie”.
I didn’t say “kainen” and “mainen” arw dissimilar, but they ARE different.

- Comment on SPOOPY TARDIGRADE 3 weeks ago:
Very loose. The finnish equivalent for those words would be “karhumainen”. I’m not sure there is a single-word translation for the “-kainen” suffix.
It doesn’t really work the same way “-mainen” does, it’s similar, but results in a word that has a more definite meaning.
“Lapsimainen” would mean childlike or childish, while “lapsukainen” only ever refers to an actual child (or if used to describe an adult, would be like calling them a “literal child” in a belittling way).

I’m not sure. I’m inclined to believe there is a ban, but that an entry for it for some reason got omitted.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Why are you getting combative? There’s no need for that.
I was curious for the reason behind your ban, so I went looking. But it’s not there.
You’re welcome to check the modlog yourself, and find that there is no entry for your ban.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
You should be able to. There is no ban on record.

I kind a comment by you that got removed a year ago, but no ban.
