- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 2 days ago:
I am fully aware that trying to be a good human results in bad humans taking advantage of me often. I am not blind to it. But being a good human means that is going to happen for as long as bad humans keep being bad humans.
I will not stoop to being a bad human just because bad humans treat me badly. I want to be a good human, and that means being a good human even to the bad humans. I don’t agree with what they do or think or believe, nor do I think that me being a good human will force anyone to change. Though some bad humans might change and become good humans, I don’t have to become a bad human just because you don’t see things the same way I do. You can live as you want and I will live as I want. And I want to be a good human, so I will try to live that way as best as I can.
As a side note, I am appreciative that hopefully nobody will piss on me, regardless of if I am on fire or not. I would much rather put the fire out myself jumping into nearby water, rolling on the floor, removing burning garments, etc. I really would like to avoid being pissed on, thank you. You may be into that, but I am not.

I never defended him. Just because I am sending his family my condolences doesn’t mean I agree with what he did or believed, it only means that I am trying to be a good human.

maybe you should actually look into the kind of human this person was
the world is a better place without him
This is the kind of disgusting behavior that perpetuates people treating each other so horribly.

Ok look, I hate Ubisoft, but this is sad. My condolences to his family. People being happy about this are disgusting.

Depends. How much are the lobbyists paying? Its possible the auto industry simply refused to pay whereas gaming companies might pay more.
Also, these people care way less about anything related to video games than they care about banning cars. “Cars are loud, get in the way of their bicycle, and sometimes stink; but video games? What is that?”

That is what archival copies and emulation exists to protect. In case your physical copy that you purchased becomes damaged and as a result is no longer usable, you still have the legal right to access the digital content you paid for. You have the legal right to make your own backup copies. You cannot distribute the copy, and are only entitled to one (at a time), and must destroy the copy if you sell or give away your physical copy. Basically the physical copy acts like a proof of purchase.
Nintendo does not know the law and asserts their own creative interpretation is correct, but the letter of the law is very clear.

This response addresses a claim that SKG already addressed. IP rights have nothing to do with what SKG was asking for.

- Comment on Microsoft has considered spinning off Xbox, the Information reports 1 week ago:
I would hope it would go to neither. Sony already owns basically a monopoly on the premium console market. Both Sony and Nintendo practically monopolize their software. Xbox was the only one that didn’t, and that removed reason for people who didn’t have an Xbox to buy an Xbox.
Why buy an Xbox if I can buy a PlayStation and have all the Sony exclusives AND all the Xbox games?

The Long Drive?
I mean, IDK about the gameplay being deep, but it is pretty unforgiving if you make a mistake that causes you to not be able to drive to the next location. Or sometimes you could do everything correctly and the game still says no because of RNG being bad.

If this doesnt come to other platforms soon after release, this is going to be the game that leads to a Switch 2 emulator being developed expeditiously.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake – Coming 2026 2 weeks ago:
An open world is a level or game designed as nonlinear, open areas with many ways to reach an objective.
Open World Game - Gameplay and Design
Ocarina of Time’s maps are NOT designed as non-linear areas with many ways to reach an objective. Areas in Ocarina of Time are funnels that direct a player to the exit or to the entrance of a dungeon necessary to the linear progression of the game.
The only way to get to Dodongo’s Cavern is through the Path to Death Mountain. The only way to get to the Water Temple is from Lake Hylia. The only way to get to the Shadow Temple is from Kakariko Village Graveyard. While some areas connect, such as Zora’s Domain connecting to Lake Hylia, or Lost Woods connecting to Gordon City, these are not “non-linear paths offering many ways to reach a goal.” Each of these is an item-gated shortcut, requiring progress in the linear game to obtain the necessary items to unlock the shortcut.
Ocarina of time says “I know you want to go through that door, but it is locked. Come back when you have the correct key.”
And open world game says “What is a lock? What is a door?”
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake – Coming 2026 2 weeks ago:
No, Ocarina of Time was not an open world Zelda game. It was “open zone,” if that, and was only non-linear in like, two places. Only some of the temples as Adult Link could be completed in a different order thank intended. Ocarina of Time is a linear game, with a curated experience. You more or less accomplish a task that unlocks the next place you need to go. Sure, you could technically go to the front door of some areas despite you never needing to, but doing so was pointless because it was just a barrier until you completed the necessary task to unlock it. The order of those places getting unlocked is more or less the same for every playthrough.
This is different from the other open world Zelda game, where going somewhere is technically never pointless, because your can always access everything from any point in the game (making Quest Items meaningless, which is likely why they were removed from those games).

- Comment on Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusive 2 weeks ago:
Xbox tried to play nice and put their games on PlayStation. Sony didn’t return the favor. Because of this, Sony had more draw for consumers. “On Xbox, I just get multiplat and Xbox games. On PlayStation I get all of that and PlayStation exclusives too.” PlayStation hoarding their games to themselves created an imbalance in exactly the same way Nintendo works.
Sure, it may be less pro-consumer for people that don’t own or buy an Xbox, but it was a problem for people that did buy Xbox. Xbox owners felt “Why did I buy this system when every other system gets the same games we get and more games that we don’t get?”
It was an interesting experiement, but I absolutely believe survey results show people wanting exclusives back.

To be fair, Quake 1 was always the “fantasy game in a medieval world of magic” compared to DOOM, IMO. Then Quake II took it to full scifi. I considered DOOM to be a scifi shooter from the start, with intentional call backs to medieval era to denote a shift in location.

Pretty sure we were able to see his face in the original game, no? Albeit as a HUD element, but still.
- Comment on Halo: Campaign Evolved | New Missions Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Though looking into it that might be problematic, having a white guy taking the role of a black man.
If the voice fits the character, why does the actor’s skin color matter? I wouldn’t care if Master Chief was voiced by a non-white actor, or if Cortana was voiced by a non-white woman, as long as the new actor’s voice matched the original well enough.
Darth Vader, a white character, was voiced by James Earl Jones, a black man. And Vader has been voiced by white men too. Who cares what their skin color is? I don’t. I just want a good voice actor in the role.
- Comment on Valheim 1.0 & Deep North: Sept 9. 2 weeks ago:
I do sort of wonder if they were purposefully waiting to release 1.0 when they could drop on other consoles. I have Valheim on Steam and it feels like the game stagnated in EA for a while.
Maybe stagnated is the wrong term, it just feels like the game overstayed its welcome as an Early Access title.
