- Comment on Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4 20 hours ago:
Yes, close but not quite right. I want that level of writing and mechanical competence, but in the world of Fallout.
I can’t say I’m looking forward to the fantasy as much, just not the genre/vibe I’m after. I’m still pretty full up on fantasy from The Witcher 3, which should say something.

I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve been dying for a Bugthesda IP game but made with competence. I’ll still be dreaming of an announcement for Obsidian making Fallout 5

Not sure what version but it had Buffout packaged and didn’t work, not even after I replaced the mod files manually.

Sadly, I’ve not been able to get past the train bit at the start without the game crashing.

Orientation.
- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s an inherently a “straight” issue to think the topic of sexuality can be out of place at times. I don’t think the topic of sexuality should be taboo like it has been historically but, like many topics, I think there’s a time and place for it. In my eye, the only time I need to know a person’s orientation is when I find someone I wish to pursue something with since it’s a key aspect of my chance of success. I believe what someone does and is into is a closed doors affair; it’s their business, not mine. Plenty of times someone’s sexuality is held above someone’s head, quite literally in the case of this casual fishing game where I feel it doesn’t even slightly belong. In these situations, I find myself made uncomfortable because the topic is very mismatched for the context. We’re standing here fishing, so why are you bringing who you like to bang - or not, as the case may be - into the conversation?
And huh, would you look at that, I didn’t bring my own orientation into the mix because it’s not needed.

I think the initial stabbing is fine in regards of a self-defense reaction. The twist is excessive and, like someone has already said, the level of detail you’ve gone into specifically for the stabbing is more than a little odd. To me, it makes it sound like you enjoyed stabbing him more than you enjoyed surviving the assault. Definitely see a psychiatrist.

- Comment on Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) 4 weeks ago:
There’s nothing stopping you from making a boot key and messing with Linux or making a partition of your storage. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
That said, as someone who is also very visually inclined, I’ve tried a couple of different distros over the years and always bounced off. I kept encountering the dumbest little issues that most people didn’t get, and it always required Terminal to fix. It’s those moments when you get to learn how obtuse and unwelcoming some of the Linux community can be.

Continental mainland is what I was referring to, yeah, but I can’t say I know much of anything about the Italian market.

Thank you. I provide links so infrequently I manage to forget the format by the next time I need it.

That may be true but with that kind of success behind them, one would assume they have the budget to finish their games without needing the support of the crutch that is the Early Access model.

It’s not about close position in this case, it’s that the idiot was typing quickly and hit the numbers in the wrong order.

- Comment on [USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax? 1 month ago:
As another European, I can at least understand why tax isn’t represented on a US (and Canadian) website since the US is as truly united as a dysfunctional family come inheritance time and tax rates are different from state to state, but to pull that in local stores is something I can only ever see as fraud.

And I can’t beat knowledge into the unreceptive, ignorant and assumptive, so I guess we’re at an impasse.
- Comment on (Religious) What would i be labeled? 1 month ago:
Sorry but it really is. Basic language (a)theism is the antithesis to theism, meaning non-belief. Otherwise, that’s what we have “agnostic” for. Like I said, correct yourself before someone who’s got more of a clue.

Maybe look up atheism then try correcting your own comment instead of mine.
- Comment on (Religious) What would i be labeled? 2 months ago:
I’d say YoFrodo’s answer of apatheusm is possibly the closest you’re going to get, but speaking in general terms of not believing or caring one way or the other, you’d be agnostic, not an atheist. Atheism is the belief that there are no gods and out right rejection in the belief of any gods. Those saying you’re atheist don’t know what one is.
- Comment on Why does Facebook and Instagram still provides web interface when most of their users use the Android or IOS app? 2 months ago:
Correct, and likely because some people refuse to download the apps. I know I was one of them. I say was because I know do my best to not use their services at all, and where I do need to, I use a third-party app so I can use one app for multiple messaging services.
- Comment on PlayStation 6 Priced At $700 Like PS5 Pro? It’s Looking Likely 2 months ago:
I will admit it’s not only the price that is a deterrent, even if that’s now competing with a perfectly capable gaming PC that can do significantly more, doesn’t have an additional charge to play online, doesn’t have to deal with increasingly standardised subpar controller longevity, commonly have cheaper games, better sales, and will have a longer shelf life. I already thought the PS5 was a bit pricy at launch, at a time when I was still considering buying one. That time has been and gone, I’ve spent the money on upgrading my already decent computer into an absolute beast because I figured “why not?” and I still have yet to sell a reason to buy the PS5. It’s no secret that consoles are commonly loss leaders for the manufacturers while the exclusives are the money-makers. It’s a way of doing business, that’s fine, but to this day, I can only claim to have seen them release maybe 4 exclusives that I’d deem worth playing. That’s already a bad deal. No-one in their right mind can justify paying full price for a console to play 3 games. On top of that, 1 already got ported to PC, one’s got a release date, one’s already had public response from the developer to be working on the port, and the last has really strong odds of getting ported too. 4 is my number, and I don’t doubt other players would swap my own picks for something more their taste, or maybe even bolster the numbers, but I don’t think anyone could make it as high as 10 without naming a game that was also released for the PS4 and/or got ported. So unless Sony gets their shit together, the PS5 tells us that the PS6 will be a bad deal.

My regards to Sony, the pricing makes it easier to not even consider buying one.
- Comment on EU consumer groups slam 'manipulative' video game spending tactics. 2 months ago:
It doesn’t invalidate what they’re doing in a karmic way, no. As for any legal precedent way, I’m genuinely concerned that it’ll very much be a “too little, too late” scenario. Many of us who have come from the school of Jim Fucking Sterling Son, or even those with their eyes open, saw how bad this could get a decade ago. It go bad enough to go to court where companies like EA produced pathetic stand-in excuses about “lootboxes” that manipulate the young, ill and weak-willed into spending insane amounts of money are actually “surprise mechanics” and thus totally different. Some countries were smart enough to put some amount of age limit on such things, others were even smarter and outright banned them but many just let it happen. It has kept happening and the biggest gaming corpos are now more than big enough to hire all of the lawyers in the world collectively and fight any claims off through the sheer force of printing money.
Yes, I’m possibly embellishing a little in that lot but after witnessing the gaming market slip further and further down the sinkhole the way it has with excuses of “it’s only cosmetic”, “it’s optional” and “it’s not required to experience the game”, I have every reason to think we’re not coming back from this.
