- Comment on Larian Studios has two major games in development and opens new studio in Warsaw 1 month ago:
The only reason why other game studios are opening offices in Poland is because CDPR had created and cultivated the human talent of May game Devs in the country, plus Polish workers should be a lot cheaper compared to West Europe and the US.
- Comment on Google Gemini is really bad. 1 month ago:
Hmmm, I tend to disagree. You know garbage in, garbage out.
I have not much experience with Gemini, but I used Pro 1.5 for analysing videos and it performed surprisingly well.

How is Sentiment, it is also in my wishlist but I have a huge list of backlog.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 5 months ago:
Yes, the world was beautiful, and I really liked the idea of the game, but for me a big part of the game enjoyment is the story and this game was too shallow for me.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 5 months ago:
Didn’t you find the dialogues in the game very bland? This plus the clunky combat system really put me off?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY Award 5 months ago:
Don’t be so upset, these awards are decided by the gamers. Every Steam user can take part in the selection and voting.
- Comment on China announced new laws to limit microtransactions, affecting major corporations like Tencent. 6 months ago:
Didn’t China also recently introduce a limit of hours adolescents can game?
The world would be a better place without those transactions in my opinion. It might sound extreme but in my view this is the first step towards gambling addiction.
We as humanity are becoming really obsessed with everything digital instead of spending more time physically interacting with our peers. And unfortunately I am no exception.

I did suggest Egypt open their border for humanitarian aid, it’s the most obvious route. Food and water can go through. Medical trucks can go in.
You are once again missing the simple fact that it’s not Egypt who is slowing down the humanitarian aid but the Israeli personnel, who are also reviewing what goes inside Gaza. So the state of Israel is directly responsible for the current situation. They can alleviate the suffering of Palestinians but it seems they are unwilling to do so, hence the collective punishment narrative. And for the record they started allowing aid only after substantial international pressure on them. How humane is this?
There are many concerned about humanitarian supplies being repurposed into weapons, which can actually happen.
Please give me an example of what humanitarian aid can be weaponized? Plus if they wanted they could just ban particular items instead.
Egypt can supply them with electricity like Israel was before.
You do realise that It is not possible to build the infrastructure to transfer electricity to another country which is also an active a war zone overnight, right?

Aren’t my points valid though? What’s your counter argument? Yes, I was being sarcastic to emphasize my point but this doesn’t make it less valuable as an input.
- Comment on Here's your mirror kings 7 months ago:
I’ve seen examples Israel letting in humanitarian aid
Oh wow, how generous of them. Yesterday apparently they allowed 50 trucks carrying humanitarian aid, for 2.4M people. Please do the math and tell me do you seriously think this is enough?!? Those trucks are carrying not only food, but medical supplies and water. That’s extremely insufficient and is borderline cynical
but of course they have a concern about supplies getting in that would aid another attack.
Oh yes, humanitarian aid in the form of food, medical supplies and water can make a great bomb, that will obliterate half of Israel. Do you realise how your argument sounds?
Even fuel, never heard diesel to be used for any bomb or explosive. Or electricity. But please correct me if I am wrong.
More attention should be focused on why Egypt also has a blockade against Palestine in most respects too.
You are also missing the simple fact that actually Israel is also controlling the Rafah crossing, they were bombing it on a couple of occasions. Plus by saying this you are openly admitting that Israel is actively trying to land grab Gaza and expel all Gazans to Egypt. And a question for you with increased difficulty, how easy do you think for a developing country would be to assimilate 2.4M immigrants?
- Comment on Here's your mirror kings 7 months ago:
By being involved in a constructive dialogue, ready to make concessions, outlining a plan to withdraw some Israeli settlements in the West bank, giving more autonomy to Palestine, active persecution of settlers, who are violently attacking Palestinians in the West bank. No double standards in their treatment. In exchange for peaceful disarmament of Palestinians and power transition to PA, but also disarmament of settlers. Removal of some of the checkpoints, outlining a plan of removal of more checkpoints if certain criteria are met. Reconstruction of Gaza.
And tell me how restricting water and food in Gaza helps IDF, I can to certain point understand the fuel ban and to a lesser extent the electricity ban, but food and water are essential for every human being and limiting them is a human rights violation.
Unfortunately at this point there is a lot of bad blood on both sides and this is definitely not a good start.
- Comment on Here's your mirror kings 7 months ago:
I don’t need the exact numbers to know how bad the situation is. I have a couple of questions for you:
- Do you agree that the civilian casualties on the Palestinian side far exceed those on the Israeli part?
- Do you agree that a large chunk of the population in Gaza is displaced and currently living in makeshift tents?
- Do you agree that there is an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza?
- Do you agree that there is increased violence and imposed restrictions in the West bank by the IDF, and that far right settlers are persecuting Palestinians and killing them.
- Weren’t there members of the Israeli parliament calling for nuking Gaza, to do the same in the West Bank, etc?
- What about illegal settlements, land grab, numerous human rights violations, etc.
I also want Hamas gone, but don’t think this is the way.
- Comment on Here's your mirror kings 7 months ago:
For example by not creating a humanitarian catastrophe for the civilian population of Gaza. By actively restricting humanitarian aid, food, electricity, water. By setting up field hospitals and making sure that everyone who needs a medical treatment can receive one. By actively trying to limit the civilian casualties and adhering to international laws of war.
Or is this too much to ask from a state that pretends to be democratic and lawful?
- Comment on Here's your mirror kings 7 months ago:
Every sane person just reading the news of what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank can make their own conclusions. If you really value human life no matter the religion, ethnicity or skin colour you can see a clear pattern.

The sad thing is that recently most of the discounts have been more or less lukewarm, very few games have 80-90% discounts
- Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it? 7 months ago:
CDPR are actually providing consistent updates to their games and free graphics updates on the next gen. Mind you that’s pretty rare these days.
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 7 months ago:
So practically he wants to create a SaaS model to eternally milk their user base. As much as I like the game devs working for rockstar, their management is an utterly horrendous bunch of scums and in a way I wish that GTA6 is one giant flop.
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED announced 7 months ago:
Yes, read the review of the Verge and it seems that it is slightly more power efficient and runs cooler, so this would help with GPU stuttering to some extent.
I was just checking the specs on Valve’s website. And they had listed the APU consumption and the numbers were exactly the same, which led to my confusion.
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED announced 7 months ago:
It is written that the APU on the OLED model is 6nm and on the old one is 7nm but all performance numbers are the same including power consumption, am I missing anything?
- Comment on Intel's New GPU Drivers Boost Performance Up To 750% in DX11, 53% in DX12 7 months ago:
Check phoronix, they tested a couple of times the Intel Arc GPUs which are mostly fine with open source drivers.
- Comment on Gamedev and linux 7 months ago:
I think the fact is that mostly Linux users have a more technical background and work in the tech/IT sector. They know that filling a bug report requires a clear explanation of the problem, and steps to reproduce it, hence the greater quality of their reports.
But still makes me happy that even though Linux has a small marketplace, game devs actually start caring more for them. And a lot of this is also thanks to Steam, I don’t think we would be here without their relentless work to make this happen and the Deck.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Sales Breakdown - with PC making up a whopping 68% of units sold 8 months ago:
One big benefit of the consoles is that you can resell and buy used games for really cheap on a disc.
I bought the complete edition of witcher 3 for 5 bucks and so far it has been my best investment as I love this game and have all 3 Witcher games on my Steam, but I refuse to pay those outrageously high GPU prices.
I was kind of hopeful that the new gen would be better, but they proved me wrong.
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 9 months ago:
This game had the dullest characters and the most boring/cliché story and the fighting mechanism is absolutely horrible.
- Comment on Searching for a grindy game for on the Steam deck 10 months ago:
Try Dinkum, it’s like a mixture between Animal’s crossing and Srardew Valley and a very chill and relaxed game. There are a bunch of levels for pretty much every one of your skills and it takes a while to progress into the game.

And still 220K sounds awfully affordable. Here where I live 80-90sq.m. flats cost 1M and the average salary is 3K and the average 3 room flat rent 1.5-1.7K
