- Comment on I am working on a turn-based wargame, influenced by the old Win3.x era WinWar 2 game 2 weeks ago:
Not my cup of tea but pretty cool. And nice thinking with using SVGs for scaling.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 weeks ago:
Ah. Makes sense. I caught a stream once and he pretty much just did discussions with the chat. A lot of his videos were just cuts from his streams when someone asked.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 weeks ago:
My condolences. I don’t even dislike the voice, his attitude just makes him so punchable. You think he’s some kind of expert at first but then it dawns on you that he’s just confidently stupid.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 weeks ago:
A comment? Am I misreading your comment or is this just ignorance of the situation? Because PirateSoftware made a whole ass video on the subject way back (the one allegedly rife with misinformation). I remember it on my feed when the campaign was getting traction, but didn’t watch it because my view of him was souring.
From what clips I’ve seen*, PirateSoftware misinterprets the majority of what he addressed. Either maliciously or unknowingly, which is why he was blamed for tanking momentum since that video did get a ton of views (before people wised up to him being a total cunt).
*Yes I know the irony of what I just said there after reading your last paragraph. I believe these terminally online streamers because I would not put it past PirateSoftware to be this awful after watching his videos for a small period and then the subsequent controversies coming out.
- Comment on A decentralised game hub? 3 weeks ago:
I believe Space Station 14 fits your criteria exactly if I’m interpreting it correctly. Space Station 13 would as well if not for the fact that player accounts must still be centralized to a server. That server is currently under a cyber attack, which really shows the importance of decentralization (in this instance, I’m not that big a fan of the concept).
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 month ago:
For me it was the original Modern Warfare 3. I played that campaign a lot as a kid, but didn’t have internet back then so no multiplayer and no one to discuss the game with. The story is dumbed down compared to the first two games but it was pure fun and cinematic, every mission was memorable to me.
Like I didn’t even know what the stock exchange was back then, I just thought it was awesome traveling through city ruins fighting invaders.
Also the survival mode was super fun too.

- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 4 months ago:
Always cool seeing Yoruba stuff in media. Just watched the new season of the Castlevania spin off and it features a few different pantheons; Aztec, Yoruba, Voodoo, Egyptian. Ogun was badass and loved him telling his story.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
I would definitely say so. Personally, I’d just not have one. Let them face the consequences of lack of sleep so they know how important it is. I think it’s weird that sleep schedules are never emphasized to teenagers. Probably a lot less sleep deprived teens if they were encouraged to get all the fun done before night hits and then easing into sleepy time.
But not having a set time could also backfire and they end up like I did with only sleeping like 4 hours but getting naps in whenever possible at school. Always surprises me how good the human body is at adapting.
- Comment on At least legalize all the drugs so I can numb my pain. 4 months ago:
I find it funny that a lot of cyberpunk settings have rampant (usually legal) drug use because employers want you to perform at any cost but real life is a boring dystopia that demands worker suffering.
- Comment on I miss them so much. 4 months ago:
I boil them for about 15 minutes I think. Been a while since I made them. Why an ice bath? Just run under cold water while peeling.
I don’t mean to imply you need to burn the fucker to cook it. I’ve eaten it all types of ways. I just hate liquid yolk. If I pop one the yolk runs all over and just ruins the dish for me.
- Comment on I miss them so much. 5 months ago:
That’s actually how I like it. I can’t stand liquid yolk, love it when solid.
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 5 months ago:
It’s cool you guys allow it. I find banning self-promotion is such a stupid rule for a games community. It’s cool seeing people make games, too!
- Comment on Is there really a difference between my understanding the phrase "go for a walk" and my dog understanding the phrase "go for a walk"? 5 months ago:
I think it’s more you as a person understand that the sentence is that, a sentence. You understand how the sentence is made, why it means what it means, not just what it means.
The dog only understands the what.
Doesn’t mean you still can’t help teach dogs to communicate. Even saw a segment recently on PBS about dogs learning to use buttons that produce words and using them to make short sentences to communicate with their owners.

Just fools and their money being parted.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Well shit that answers my question as well. I’d definitely set him straight on his “disappointing” because it doesn’t seem like he respects an agreement.
Good luck separating that man child from his money at least.

Wild how this is a controversial comment when Lemmy is supposedly left leaning.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Never been homeless but I’d definitely take it over slavery. It has to be better than being a flesh robot.
Not only is freedom priceless (my opinion), but I’m sure as hell not enriching someone else to my own detriment.

Why not just stream it?

Sorry if prying, but why didn’t your mother just get alimony? Easier to get if the other parent has good income, no?

Are they redeemable to Steam or direct download? Long as it’s not through EGS, cool.

- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 5 months ago:
I think the issue is more that VC’s prioritize draining money out of what they acquire instead of continuing with what works for longer term gains.
- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 5 months ago:
If you worked on Dauntless, just want to say I appreciate your part! Only played it for a while at release because the grind turned me off but it’s been sad seeing news pop up of how it has been going downhill. Was such a fun game.
Sucks that good game devs get laid off because the leaders are asleep at the wheel unless it involves monetization.

Why is this even downvoted.
- Comment on Call of Duty's massive development budgets revealed: $700 million for Black Ops Cold War 6 months ago:
Give them Titanfall 2 if you want them to play a good shooter. Sure, they might come out of the campaign with depression, but certainly not with heads filled with propaganda!
- Comment on Call of Duty's massive development budgets revealed: $700 million for Black Ops Cold War 6 months ago:
I feel like that’s more on the parents for not informing their child about the MIC and how they basically sign themselves away to be government property.
- Comment on this is controllable now: guy has moving robot messing with stuff in his house and blabbering TTS under internet control 6 months ago:
Yeah I was surprised someone actually lived there. I thought it was just some random abandoned house the guy left the robot in so we could explore but we catched a glimpse of him behind a door watching TV.
