- Comment on Beginner gamedev projects? 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t start with retro hardware, those systems have a lot of quirks and limitations that will make development much harder than it needs to be for your first projects. Instead I’d suggest using a modern toolkit like Gamemaker if you want to avoid programming, or an engine like Godot. Lots of good tutorials available for either.
- Comment on Microsoft closes Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin and others 3 weeks ago:
Man, the state of the games industry is just sad. Also makes me question my career working in an adjacent field, despite my job being safe for now…
- Comment on Not only are they watching you, they're judging you. 4 weeks ago:
Those 2019 people were just another year away from finding out what an actually crazy year looks like.
- Comment on The Fallout show's been a pleasant surprise 1 month ago:
IMO the story is not really worse than the games’ writing. Fallout as a universe never really made sense. So for me, it being fun and campy is enough and just what I’d expect of a Fallout show.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Kirby 2 months ago:
Kirby’s adventure feels really modern for an NES game, still holds up great to this day. The difficulty is also closer to what people are used to nowadays, compared to the punishing difficulty of many NES games. One of the few NES games I played through completely.
- Comment on Lemmy's Image Problem 2 months ago:
The lemmy devs should really focus on proper content deletion tools. It’s not just the images, it’s very strange and inconsistent overall. When I delete a comment, it’s seemingly still visible to many people and collecting up/downvotes even many hours after I deleted it. On the other hand, when a post gets deleted, it’s completely gone, to the point that I can’t even look up the discussion that I had within that post, just my own comments on my profile.
- Comment on Emotion-tracking AI on the job: Workers fear being watched – and misunderstood 2 months ago:
I’m glad to live in a place where that kind of surveillance is already illegal. I recently read that in some places, it’s already commonplace to track every single keystroke and mouse click on workers’ PCs. That’s bad enough even without putting AI and facial recognition into the mix. Truly dystopian.

Wait, are analogue clocks supposed to be a thing of the past now? I have like 3 in my home and know many other people, including young people, who still have them.
- Comment on Am I doing HDR wrong? 5 months ago:
To be fair though, the first sentence when you bring up the OLED Deck’s product page right after “Introducing Steam Deck OLED” is “A high dynamic range screen, a longer-lasting battery, faster downloads, and much more”. HDR is then mentioned like 5 more times on the product page, so I don’t really get why people miss it.
- Comment on Am I doing HDR wrong? 5 months ago:
They’re wrong, the OLED Deck definitely has an HDR screen. Not sure why two users in this thread claim it doesn’t.
- Comment on Am I doing HDR wrong? 5 months ago:
Incorrect, it does have an HDR display. See the product page.
- Comment on Am I doing HDR wrong? 5 months ago:
The OLED Deck does have an HDR screen.
- Comment on [meta] confusion around rules 9 months ago:
I’m still confused what happened to the post that compared critic and audience ratings of the varios Star Trek shows. It was an interesting post with a, as far as I could see, civil discussion but it was deleted. A later post asking about the reason for the deletion was also promptly deleted. Heavy moderation is one thing, but it bugs me a little that there is seemingly no communication about why that post wasn’t okay.
- Comment on 'Half-Life 2' is getting an unofficial RTX remaster 9 months ago:
Looks great, but I’m skeptical if it’ll ever be an actual release. Remastering the entire game with the kind of asset quality we see for this single room would require an enormous amount of time and effort, especially with people working for free.
