- Comment on Do you buy PC games from third party key sites or from Steam? 1 week ago:
Not sure, I mostly use gog because it’s drm free and I pay if the price seems fair for the product I’m receiving. I did recently purchase spider man remastered which was cheaper on gmg.
- Comment on Do you buy PC games from third party key sites or from Steam? 1 week ago:
Green Man and fanatical are trustworthy because they purchase and sell keys as a proper retailer by buying keys from the devs.
Sites like g2a sell spare keys or dubious key sources, such as using stolen credit cards. Using a reputable seller like gmg is completely fine, g2a and the likes on the other hand often actively hurts the devs.

- Comment on stress 2 weeks ago:
Most people doing the bare minimum are overwhelmed with the pressure of living paycheck to paycheck. Times are tough, especially when you do not have a financial fallback, are ill, and are making Min wage.

- Comment on When making a game level in a modern engine, is the (main, static) level geometry big one model, or many smaller pieces? 1 month ago:
The most common practice nowadays is to build it with modular assets, and part of the games build process is to combine static meshes that share a material so it can be rendered more efficiently. This is a oversimplification of a complex topic, and there are far more advanced tools now. Most terrains aren’t even modelled anymore, but generated and sculpted in engine using PCG tooling.
Note, this is mostly for the contemporary AA and AAA games industry.

Almost nobody is thinking about you enough to warrant hating you. People have their own lives, their own insecurities and their own delusions. The only people who would ever have made a strong opinion about you are your friends and family, and friends you will make in the future. Focus on that, because I guarantee they will care most about anything you do.

To society, your existence is inconsequential. To your family though, your existence is paramount. An individual suicide has almost no effect on most of society, but has a tragic and lifelong impact on everyone you care about.

- Comment on Anon uses GOG 8 months ago:
I use heroic because I buy games that don’t have a native Linux version, and because some of the games I own are going to get updated. Also, cloud saves. Having a platform I can easily see and immediately install my purchases from is nice
- Comment on Anon uses GOG 8 months ago:
Regional pricing is usually set up by the developer. Contact the developer of your favourite games and they may consider regional pricing, provided GoG allows them.
- Comment on Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds? 9 months ago:
First one is more than good enough to play this game, not sure why they mark the cpu as 1.8ghz but it can actually do 5.3.
That said, the second one will last a bit longer, maybe.

There’s issues with all the analogies. If I tilt the stick left, if it was my neck, then I would roll my neck to the left and I’d need to twist the stick to look around. Perhaps this is the missing control scheme we’ve been waiting for.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 10 months ago:
The back lever thing is a simplification. It’s more that they visualise it as controlling the yaw and pitch, like gluing the joystick to the top of their head. Point is though that it’s there as an accessible option
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 10 months ago:
Its two different perspectives. One is controlling a character as if they are controlling a camera from the rear. The other is the more common, where you’re using the joystick to move the point that you’re looking at.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 10 months ago:
Its not so bad, it’s just a context switch. In an fps game you’re changing the direction your character is intending to look. Wanna look left, tilt left. Wanna look up, tilt up.
In a flying game, you’re controlling the attitude of the plane, it helps to think of your joystick being glued to the top of the plane.

I like to imagine inverted players control their character by grabbing a stick on the top of their characters head
