- Comment on Favourite controllers 3 days ago:
I went for the GameSir G7 SE, one black and one white, so me and the missus have our own controllers. The black one has a click to the face button which is quite nice.
I thought I would miss wireless, but the batteries draining on my wireless pad (official) and the slight delay means I prefer the G7 instead. The cable is long enough that we can sit comfortably back on the sofa from our 55" screen. Oh, and the pads came with a month of Game Pass Ultimate so really helped justify them (just over $30 each?). Never thought I’d live to see a third-party controller this good, sold my official one for more than I paid for these.

And a special mention for the Samba de Amigo controllers which I only got to use once because… I thought I would be able to pick a set up after seeing two in GAME (for maybe £99.99 inc. the game?), then ended up selling out and never coming back into stock.
- Comment on Steam is now banned in Vietnam 3 days ago:
This was about a week ago, since then it was unblocked, then reblocked. Note, this is only the store itself (and the store within Steam), you can still play your existing games, so it seems they have blocked the store front to hamstring or reduce sales so that Valve will then pay whatever tax amount is going to be asked for.

Garbage cunts.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
The right is too angry to listen, and the left is too arrogant to listen.
To listen to what?
- Comment on [Serious] Any high-quality right-wing media, books, explainers? 1 week ago:
There are many left-wing people who were for leaving the EU, so I wouldn’t use that as a measuring stick of left/right.
His voting record is something he has covered; a lot of these votes which make him seem particularly bad (I’m not a big fan of his, despite having read The Place In Between - before I knew who he was - and Politics on the Edge) but from times when people were whipped or ‘encouraged’ to vote a particular way. We found out what happened when he did go against the whip, with even Nicholas Soames feeling that wrath.
- Comment on [Serious] Any high-quality right-wing media, books, explainers? 1 week ago:
He isn’t really right wing though, he is from a different Tory faction which failed to tap into much of any power in the past few governments. Politics on the Edge gave good insight into his time as an MP and his roles during the period, but he didn’t justify or go into much detail about what being on the right (centre right for him, really) truly means.
- Comment on What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit? 3 weeks ago:
Try to avoid scrolling at other places. Lemmy a bit, news and whatnot (but limited with where I get it, otherwise I’ll never stop), try to watch stuff, practice my writing in other languages, drink.
- Comment on what the heck is a pensioner in the UK and why are they the butt of so many jokes ? 3 weeks ago:
You’re correct, an OAP is someone retired. I’m not sure about the joke part, I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it.

Does it make you not sane?

You can be sane and depressed.
- Comment on The Sega Dreamcast 3 weeks ago:
The Virtual Boy too, I forgot about that.
- Comment on The Sega Dreamcast 3 weeks ago:
Genesis was a surprise smash hit…then Sega just spewed out consoles; 32x, Sega CD, mega drive, Saturn… Probably more. In that same time span Nintendo released…N64.
Nintendo had the SNES, N64, N64 DD, GameBoy Pocket, Colour, Advance, etc.
Build a winner, milk it. Release another winner right as the previous one is winding down. Nintendo has mastered that formula.
Every other generation; they’ve not been consistent in their success. The N64 did quite well, the GameCube was okay, the Wii did great, the Wii U did not, the Switch has done very well, I reckon the next won’t.
- Comment on Slay the Spire devs followed through on abandoning Unity 4 weeks ago:
Don’t get Balatro.
- Comment on Been playing FF7 Rebirth (35 hours in) and really not enjoying it. Does anyone else feel this way? 4 weeks ago:
I felt similar about the Remake, it was… Just lacking something. I never played the original so my connection wasn’t so strong, I just expected more.
- Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why? 5 weeks ago:
Right, but it’s not normal outside of beaches.
- Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why? 5 weeks ago:
Can but it’s still not normal or typical.

- Comment on Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Review by MandaloreGaming 5 weeks ago:
Usually not after the first month post-release. I’m not against the concept though, just never heard of it.
- Comment on Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Review by MandaloreGaming 5 weeks ago:
That’s true, I’ve not come across anything like this with reviews many years later, just retrospectives in EDGE and stuff like that. I’m a fan of the Chinese Room and own the game, but I’ve not played it before. I’ll check the video later, least of all as I’ve been playing a lot more indie (and older) stuff of late.
- Comment on Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Review by MandaloreGaming 5 weeks ago:
Usually reviews are for new games as old ones will have been covered in detail already.
- Comment on Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Review by MandaloreGaming 5 weeks ago:
Okay, thanks.
- Comment on Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Review by MandaloreGaming 5 weeks ago:
It’s over ten years old, what’s the review for?
- Comment on Why bag the hydrant? 5 weeks ago:
Autoerotic asphyxiation.
- Comment on Against the Storm - Update 1.3 Sneak Peek & Experimental Update 5 weeks ago:
How is the game now? I bought it a while ago because the reviews were so good, then Balatro stole all of my time.
- Comment on Is it normal to forget things from the previous day often? 1 month ago:
I do it often, perhaps it’s just that you don’t feel like you need to retain the information and you’re coasting?
But, as I have answered on other similar posts, this seems common for people on the spectrum like myself too.

Rocket League and Fall Guys are also on there. Not sure how much paid games sell there though.

Which still may not have recouped development costs. Shadow was on PS2, no other console got close to their sales. Costs to convert it to other platforms may have been more than profit from sales on Xbox and GameCube.

Not a very nice response to an honest discussion. Try again.
- Comment on Niantic: Pokémon Go healthy and growing as it approaches its next decade 1 month ago:
I think I have all the ones from eggs which are possible, I’d need to check though. Regional Pokémon haven’t been limited for a while, you can get them in 7km eggs which you get from others.
