I take my shitposts very seriously.
- Comment on Anon accepts a prestigious job 1 day ago:
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. 2 days ago:
Popularity does not imply quality.
- Comment on Anon is 23 4 days 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 4 days 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? 4 days 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 week 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.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit. 1 week ago:
Are there even any worthwhile games on it? I mean other than Nostalgiabait Racer #328.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit. 1 week ago:
How can I make Nintendo lose money?
Seed.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I’ve played Hearts and even I don’t know what the fuck is happening.
- Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital" 1 week ago:
Steam has removed less than 40 games since inception
Do you have a credible source for that? A while ago someone commented that Valve had promised not to remove any games, but couldn’t support that claim with a source.
- Comment on Steam Input is an Embarrassing Disaster 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like my dad trying to use an app on the phone that recently had a minor UI layout change.
- Comment on Bethesda Announces New ‘Fallout’ Roadmap Following Xbox Reset 2 weeks ago:
Todd finally looked up and saw the guillotine. Now he’s panicking and promising the world to the Xbox Deathsquad.
- Comment on ZA/UM laying off 32 employees after Zero Parades fails to reach commercial success 2 weeks ago:
…it released?
- Comment on Anon plays Skyrim 2 weeks ago:
Some elders showed him tiktok and he spent the next thousand years scrolling.
- Comment on Anon invents a time machine 2 weeks ago:
That also means that Ford never rises to the global powerhouse it is, which means that the Phillips screw head doesn’t proliferate.
Excuse me, I have a time machine to build.
- Comment on Anon joins a shitposting group 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Anon joins a shitposting group 3 weeks ago:
Of course it was staged. That’s how rockets work.
- Comment on id Software insists in new statement that it still has "the crew we need to build the games and tech we're known for" 3 weeks ago:
Clap when the light turns green.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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] 3 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
Basically all of Pathologic. The best one is when the player calls someone an “onion”.
- Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not? 4 weeks ago:
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 4 weeks 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' 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal' 4 weeks ago:
Saruman and Gríma just want to shape and influence the largest cavalry force of Middle Earth…
- Comment on Suggestions for Multiplayer Browser Games 4 weeks 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' 4 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 5 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.
