- Comment on Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStation 2 hours ago:
They’ve always been violently litigious against any kind of preservation effort. Apparently this goes back to the Super Famicom/SNES generation.
- Comment on Anon likes Space Jam 13 hours ago:
There’s no way in hell a Galaxy-class starship has enough delta-v in its cargo bays to meaningfully affect its trajectory, not to mention that the thrust vector wouldn’t be aligned with the ship’s center of mass. All that would achieve is the starship going out with a fucking

(the Kirby in question is a Stålenhag-esque war machine engaged in a fight against ownership and preservation, Nintendo doesn’t get a free pass for having a highly marketable mascot)
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 5 days ago:
If that principle applied throughout history, anglophones would have evolved either an armored ass or no ass at all. I believe they are pathologically incapable of grasping the phonology of foreign languages. Just ask any native English speaker the name of the Soviet Union’s general secretary that succeeded Stalin and preceded Brezhnev… realistically, nine out of ten will have no idea, and the remaining one will say he was some “cruise chef”.

Erm, actually, neutrinos aren’t massless. The Super-Kamiokande experiment has observed neutrinos to oscillate between electron-muon-tau lepton family numbers (or flavors), which means that they experience time, which means that they necessarily travel slower than the speed of light, which implies that they have a nonzero rest mass.

they aren’t particularly likely to interact with you either so all else being equal they’re the safest of the emitters to have inside you
First time I’ve heard of this. Care to give a source?

I’d love to know what you think this “commentary from the beginning” is. Please, elaborate.
- Comment on 12 TB of Valve's data from 2003-2013 has leaked online, and Episode 3 content isn't off the table yet 1 week ago:
Half-Life 3 was in development between 2013 and 2014, but dropped because Source 2 wasn’t ready, according to Geoff Keighley’s The Final Hours Of Half-Life: Alyx. It sounds like it never got further than an early gameplay concept, but saying that it was never even started is incorrect.
- Comment on 12 TB of Valve's data from 2003-2013 has leaked online, and Episode 3 content isn't off the table yet 1 week ago:
But it is a reasonable possibility. More plausible than most predictions. Valve employees have stated that Episode 3 was in some stage of development when it was cancelled, and that several unsuccessful attempts had been made to continue the series. There’s a very good chance that related material is in the leaked data, even if it isn’t the next mainline game.
- Comment on 'Bioshock Review' - MandaloreGaming 2 weeks ago:
Still hoping for Metro 2033. I need my gripes with Redux validated.
- Comment on 'Live-service is a red flag for us': Why one publisher is embracing an older kind of multiplayer hit: peer-to-peer, server browsers, and organic community 3 weeks ago:
As long as you’ve done the original Deimos open world stuff, you can just follow the main story to unlock gameplay systems.
Pablo has been cooking for the last couple of years. Most of the bad warframes received considerable buffs or reworks, and most of them will serve you well until the late-game missions (with the exception of Loki, Limbo, and Nekros; they’re pretty much useless now). Arcanes are even more busted than before. There are legitimate builds that don’t equip Energize. Melee Influence is the reigning king of melee arcanes. You can slap a basic electric status build on literally any melee weapon and have something that can take you to level cap.
Also, Stalker had a girlfriend and they’ve fucked.

The Switch port is handled by Panic Button, the same studio that developed the Doom 2016 port. It’s impressive work considering the hardware limitations, but the introduction of cross-platform play made the gap between it and other platforms impossible to ignore.
- Comment on 'Live-service is a red flag for us': Why one publisher is embracing an older kind of multiplayer hit: peer-to-peer, server browsers, and organic community 3 weeks ago:
Warframe’s multiplayer sessions are hosted by the players, and you can feel when the game is hosted on a Switch. The ping is consistent around 300 ms, but every action will have a second of latency and the enemies will constantly rubber-band around.
- Comment on Love Wins 3 weeks ago:
I’ll never understand why the US refuses to modernize the horrid NEMA 5 connectors. A recessed receptacle, insulators around the base of the live and neutral blades, spring-loaded detention mechanism to keep the connector from slipping out… in its current state, it’s only two steps removed from sticking the bare wires into the socket.
- Comment on Love Wins 3 weeks ago:
When USB-C-compliant devices are connected, they have to negotiate which side is upstream and which is downstream. So yes, they’re hermaphroditic, just like snails.
In contrast, the USB A-to-A cable that Ugreen uses is closer to hyenas. If you know, you know… and don’t you wish you didn’t.
- Comment on Rideshare Stimulator finally gets its genAI disclosure after much Saber-rattling, and it turns out the game also uses the tech for in-game music 4 weeks ago:
It’s open-source, written in Rust, and has plugins from Stardew Valley to Ultrakill.
- Comment on US hires over 2,000 video gamers as air traffic controllers 4 weeks ago:
Delays expected as radio traffic devolves into immature giggles whenever a flight into Pensacola (PNS) or Charlotte (CLT) is spotted.
- Comment on Dev at id Software says Microsoft 'burned a lot of bridges' in the industry: 'They fundamentally don't understand art, they don't understand games' 4 weeks ago:
Sometimes not even money. Microslop was left holding the bag when they jacked up the price of Gamepass and suddenly it became unaffordable for a lot of customers, and spent billions on a lemon. Sony is actively alienating their supporters, rejecting their largest market, and going all-in on a game that can’t even reach five thousand daily concurrent players on Steam because they’ve already spent billions on another lemon. Bad calls and sunk costs all around.
- Comment on Dev at id Software says Microsoft 'burned a lot of bridges' in the industry: 'They fundamentally don't understand art, they don't understand games' 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t mean that in a very positive way.
I know there’s a post-hoc artistique justification where Alan is a hack writer and everything in the dark place is only as good as his imagination… but a poorly made game is still a poorly made game, and trying to shove half of a Max Payne action shooter into an Alan Wake game is just asking for disappointment (just ask Amnesia fans about pigs).

On the other hand, Sky TV somehow managed to successfully sue Microsoft to force them to rename SkyDrive.

We are the pig, professor. We are all the pig.
- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 1 month ago:
Popularity does not imply quality.
- Comment on Anon is 23 1 month ago:
I’m not saying that everyone who doesn’t get an office job should immediately become a tradie. When you have nothing else to offer, just having some industry certificate is an advantage. Even if the certificate is unrelated to the job. My first job was assembly machine operator in a factory. My boss straight up told me that he hired me because of my Cisco and ECDL certs that I got in high school (for free because Europe).
And if you do get a job and it doesn’t work out, you’ll still have something.
- Comment on Anon is 23 1 month ago:
Why is learning a trade only considered a last resort? Even on lemmy, I got downvoted to shit when I commented that people should focus less on degrees and more on industry certification, to have some actual value they can sell to potential employers.
Relying on just degrees that virtually everybody else has is stupid. Anon has nothing that stands out from the soup of zero-experience job seekers.
- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 1 month ago:
I slept on Helldivers 2 for too long, now I don’t think I’ll ever play it. It’s become obvious that Arrowhead is either unable or unwilling to maintain a game that focuses on the player experience, instead making it subservient to the vision of what they think the game should be. It’s a costly lesson that Digital Extremes learned years ago.
- Comment on Steam Deck Sales Reportedly Plunge 80% After Price Hikes 1 month ago:
Technically true, but saying that “nothing sells” is fucking wild. The prices are astronomical because the components driving up the price (specifically memory and storage) are being vacuumed up by AI.

Are there even any worthwhile games on it? I mean other than Nostalgiabait Racer #328.
