I take my shitposts very seriously.

I think it was either a Miniminuteman or a Folding Ideas video that showed what some flatties proposed: the Sun moves in a wacky repeating spiral pattern above the surface. It’s closer to the Arctic during summer and to the Antarctic during winter. Obviously that doesn’t conform to any physical laws, observed phenomena, or reasonable ideas that a person of ordinary intelligence might come up with… but that simply reinforces their belief that everything else is a lie and they figured out the real truth.

Of course it was staged. That’s how rockets work.

The ESA won’t thank you for spreading their rhetoric, you know.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 days ago:
Steam has promised they will never do that
Can you give us a credible source?
- Comment on 'We Need to Change Course' — Bethesda Boss Tells Staff the Company Must Focus on 'Our Strongest Franchises' as Xbox Layoffs Hit Hard 6 days ago:
Also don’t Bethesda handle Doom, now?
No, id Software is the developer company, which is owned by Bethesda Softworks. The “Bethesda” that is their in-house development company is called Bethesda Game Studios, they handle franchises like Fallout and TES.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Pray tell, how do you think “they” should optimize game assets? People who have zero experience in game development love to talk about “optimization” like it’s a slider in the options or some challenge that can be solved by throwing resources at it. Modern compression algorithms like Oodle are about as performant and artifact-free as mathematically possible. Everything beyond that is a trade-off between quality, size, and performance.
But are you thinking about it in abstract? Would you prefer a game to have occasional pop-in and stutter issues in exchange for a smaller size?
- Comment on Do you know examples of mistranslations of in-game dialog from cutscenes via subtitles whilst playing in another language? 1 week ago:
Basically all of Pathologic. The best one is when the player calls someone an “onion”.

Sony is shutting down physical disk production in 2028. lemmy.world/post/48892424
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
I guess that idea I had about Sony locking physical games behind account ownership won’t come to pass after all.
- Comment on ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal' 1 week ago:
If you have the facts, you pound the facts. If you have the law, you pound the law. If you have neither, you pound the table. This is the ESA pounding the table, and the goal is to confuse the gerontocracy LARPing as lawmakers.

Saruman and Gríma just want to shape and influence the largest cavalry force of Middle Earth…
- Comment on Suggestions for Multiplayer Browser Games 1 week ago:
agar.io and diep.io are very simple top-down MMO games. There’s another that’s based on Snake, but I can’t remember the name.
- Comment on Will PS6 Be Like a Nintendo Switch? Sony Says Its Next-Gen Console Will Enable 'A Seamless Experience That Can Be Enjoyed Naturally Beyond the Living Room' 2 weeks ago:
I don’t give much of a shit about the article, but that title… that quote is dripping with sleaze. Like slop off the snout of a freshly fed pig. Absolutely greasy.
- Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 2 weeks ago:
Have you seen the GN teardown? Every bit of volume that isn’t already occupied by something is dedicated to cooling. The heat sink runs essentially edge to edge, so no issues with airflow either.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2026 Has Begun 2 weeks ago:
That is literally the only game I’m even interested in from EA, but the thought of paying them even six dollars is giving me the Nesquik rabbit testicular torsion.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2026 Has Begun 2 weeks ago:
5 euros for the entire Metro series (2033, Last Light, Exodus, plus the expansions) is insane.

- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 3 weeks ago:
Including the ordering, manufacturing, delivery, and setup of new fabrication machines, hiring and training the operators, renegotiating the contracts with suppliers and shipping companies… I’d wager it’s much longer than saying “make it so”.
- Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not? 3 weeks ago:
I’d love to believe that, but I’ve lost count of how many businesses were declared by the internet to have committed suicide, only for people to keep buying their stuff.
- Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not? 3 weeks ago:
It would be trivial to implement on Sony’s centralised infrastructure, without using unique CD keys. All you need is an account identifier, a game identifier, and a record in Sony’s system that indicates whether the specific account is permitted to start the game with that specific identifier. CD keys could still be used for initially associating the game with the account, but after that, Sony could take full control of the account’s access to the game.
- Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not? 3 weeks ago:
Tinfoil hat thoughts: at this point, I wouldn’t trust Sony to honour the ownership of a physical copy forever. There’s nothing stopping them from implementing a system that checks whether your account owns a license for the game that’s on the disk, or prevents the console from launching a delisted game.

Imagine if some terminally online wannabe freedom fighter came up to you at your own father’s funeral and told you that it’s good that he died, actually. I think you’d want to punch the fucker.
- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 3 weeks ago:
At the cost of having to play them through the Epic Launcher? Nah, too rich for me, boss.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
The fact that you would equate the invasion of a sovereign nation and war crimes committed against civilians bordering on genocide with making bad games with bad monetization shows that you don’t possess the moral integrity and intelligence of a well-adjusted adult. Have a horrible day.

This thread, the comments, and the people who post them, would be fascinating subjects for a sociological-psychological study.
