- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 4 days ago:
From my understanding, they got banned because Sandfall declared it as not having used AI at time of submission which was proved incorrect by the AI placeholder assets.

Agreed. As much as I don’t care about Silksong either way, having “so many people wanted me, I broke the storefront” on your resume has to count for something.
- Comment on The LCD Steam Deck is no longer being manufactured 5 days ago:
Really taking the old expression of “Apples and oranges” to the extreme there, friend.
- Comment on The LCD Steam Deck is no longer being manufactured 5 days ago:
Yeah, that’s not exactly an insubstantial increase.
- Comment on The LCD Steam Deck is no longer being manufactured 5 days ago:
I’m not 100% but I’m pretty sure the bigger battery is there to compensate for the increased power use of the OLED rather than being supplementary. Keep in mind, the OLED is also a 50% step-up in refresh rate up it likely just balances out. There’s likely a plethora of reviews out there that quickly confirm that, or prove me full of it. Either way…
- Comment on The LCD Steam Deck is no longer being manufactured 5 days ago:
Yes and no. Yes in that OLED is a mostly-better technology, but no in that having more price options is almost always better for the end user.

- Comment on What can Trump get away with and what can he not? Hell one president shot an enemy to him. Can he do that? 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure you’re right. I remember seeing an interview some years ago where a collection of Trump supporters were being asked some questions, including ones in the vein of ‘if he did x’ and one of them was ‘If Trump shot a man in the street and killed him, would you stop support him?’ and the answer was ‘That depends, did he deserve it?’. That one opened my eyes to the sort of people we’re dealing when it comes to Trump supporters. The fact that he got in again since that only killed more of the little bit of faith I had in humanity.
- Comment on Why put a no trespassing sign on a bus stop 4 weeks ago:
Welcome to people. Instead of fixing the homelessness, governments would prefer to make the situation worse while doing their best to ignore it.

Looks more like roughly 40 people care which seems pretty accurate in general.

Sadly breaking the law is legal when you have enough money in the bank.

I’m not saying it’s the correct decision. I’m saying they’re a corp and corps always go the route of pride. They won’t admit fault, certainly not after the public reason they gave for firing the people in the first place.

That’s not going to change the situation because it would now look like R* admitting fault if they were to re-hire the people who got fired.

It would make them amazingly relevant again though. Not owning shit is so 2024

And if you did, they wouldn’t be able to inherit your digital licence.

Anything with a 3 in the title from Valve would cause waves at this point, doesn’t matter what the words prior are.

They may not want what it’ll likely be if it ever got made but they likely want what it could be.

Worst case scenario, we quickly find out who owns it when someone pops up trying to claim their money.
- Comment on Microsoft support for Windows 10 officially ends today, but a third of Steam players still use it | VGC 2 months ago:
Not to mention general support from software companies. I recently endeavoured to try Bazzite only to find out I can’t install my VPN’s client on it because there’s not a flatpak version. Given a handful of other programs I specifically like and would need to find workarounds or alternatives to, I won’t be jumping over anytime soon.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 2 months ago:
I have to agree with this. The game is gorgeous and I enjoy the general setting and plot but I absolutely loath the navigation system that just about everyone and their pet turtle says is amazing and I thought it went on for too long. By the end of the main story (and having done most of the side stuff alobg the way) I was so done with it I didn’t even bother touching the DLC.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 2 months ago:
I found the game a lot more approachable once I modded the toffee-tier equipment out of the game.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 2 months ago:
TW3, and The Witcher as a series in general, is one of those slow burn games. Its strong point is the characters and building story. That said, given the time investment required to get to that point, I can’t blame anyone for bouncing off if they weren’t already into the series.
- Comment on Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"? 2 months ago:
There’s no requirement for a person to be 6’ to realise OP isn’t near that height. Most people know their own height or at least an approximation. Someone 5’5" will notice this “6’ person” is only 3 inches taller than them and immediately know they’re a liar.

Then there are the ones where the writer thinks they’re funny…
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 2 months ago:
Slice of life mostly has real names or spins on real names. Fantasy has fantasical names or ones the author thought sounded fantastical. Then lots of in-between.
- Comment on Sony is reportedly set to release an updated PS5 DualSense controller with a removable battery | VGC 2 months ago:
The term “removable battery” typically means there’s no disassembly required. Or at least nothing any more complicated than a battery cover. As much as it’s an easy process for those with even minor mechanical skills but your initial wording creates the sort of slippery slope that led to us needing a government to step in so that phones and other devices would have removable batteries again.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 2 months ago:
You described eating meat as messing with your brain. Even if general effects are considered positive, it’s not exactly great and the crazy vegans (specifically vegans who are crazy, not calling all vegans crazy) would certainly sell it as messing with your brain chemistry.
