Ah, one of the strengths of streaming.
- Comment on Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos Says Movie Theater Model Is ‘Outdated’: ‘Most of the Country’ Cannot ‘Walk to a Multiplex’ 1 week ago:
It sucks because I personally love watching movies at the theater. I miss the days where I would see a movie every week with my $5 allowance.
Watching movies on your TV at home sucks, unless you have money for a giant TV and good surround sound. Part of the experience is the rumbling sound).$, And streaming quality still sucks. And I’m not paying to digitally rent a movie.
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread) 1 week ago:
I think it supports DirectX 12 at least I never considered it. Honestly I have to look that up.
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread) 1 week ago:
good to know about performance. I was going to try to play it anyways, even though my Ryzen 1500x and RX580 GB didn’t meet minimum specs, but it just might not be worth it.
- Comment on Anbernic no longer shipping to the US 2 weeks ago:
I prefer my pi Gameboy anyways. I like full control of my devices. Plus I was able to upgrade as new pis came out. I like the retropie software.
- Comment on American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car' 3 weeks ago:
I’ve played both games for years. There were mod, but half of them are shitty or don’t work. One I tried just gave me black textures. Unless there’s some paid marketplace I don’t know about, the mod options for drivable cars are shitty.

Holy shit, 5 is 15 years old now?! It still feels new. How old is 3?! Because that is my first civ

- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 4 months ago:
I treat launchers like I treat social media. No new ones after around five years ago. So a pass from me. I have enough games.
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 6 months ago:
Unpopular opinion: if I have to fudge with Wine instead of Proton, I simply will not bother. It’s 2024. I’m not going to fiddle with configs, or get a setup together just to play a single game. That’s ridiculous. A game should 100% be one click to run, whether it’s native or not. and if that’s not what is expected in 2024, Linux get it together. sincerely: a full time Linux gamer that is a single parent and doesn’t have time to fiddle just to play a game. Wine and most of its front ends need a major overhaul.

Dirt 5, dirt rally 2.0. I must hate myself because it’s snowing and I drive a forklift outside
- Comment on If you work for a gig app in the US they make you go thru this charade when doing taxes where you're treated and taxed as an independent business owner. joke country 1 year ago:
I pay plenty of taxes. from my full time job, my purchases, my personal property taxes, my breathing tax. I pay taxes to the city, state, and federal government. Nothing would be underfunded if we didn’t spend so much providing weapons to bomb children as well as doing it ourselves.

Pot has been illegal in my state my entire life, still smoked it. I still speed on the highway. It’s all a game of cat and mouse. I’ll live my life my way no matter what rules they make. one day it could be illegal to love who I want. It won’t stop me though :)

shit like this is why I won’t declare my upwork earnings. My dad declared nothing for his side job construction work for 30+ years and faced no issues, why should I with my digital work.
I already found a loophole for not having to pay a fine for lack of insurance. I’m sure I can find one for this. I mean, the 1% do it…
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 1 year ago:
This has been in my backlog for years. Maybe I’ll play it next. But I did just get horizon zero Dawn ultimate or whatever it’s called in the steam sale
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 1 year ago:
I just finished A Plagues take and Before I Forget. So I’m between story games at the moment.
I’m going to be playing a heck of a lot of euro truck simulator 2 because it’s the holiday challenge and I find the portals to the snowy areas cool because I’ve always wanted snow in the northern countries. The physics are pretty cool.
I typical replay Earthbound this time of the year because it’s just a nostalgic time and it’s my favorite game, so I’ll probably play that by the light of the Christmas tree this week, either on my GBA, my pi zero 2 powered Gameboy, or my pitendo cart.

I literally made money on a contract this year doing something I’d never even done. Thank you google. Love it
- Comment on lemmy.ml 1 year ago:
Is it real antisemitism or just not supporting Israel?
About when they start going on about “Zionists” Is where I draw the line and where it typically takes a turn.
As a Jewish person, I find it healthy to criticize the Israeli government. Most young Israelis do. Their government has been steamrolled by a wannabe dictator that is corrupt as hell and his team of racist, backwards conservative orthodox buddies.
They were just protesting in the streets weeks ago and now we’re expected to turn around and support the government? Nah. This doesn’t change anything.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
I think people were expecting fallout no man’s sky…and I don’t know why.
I’d rather play nms for exploration/sandbox
And then a Bethesda space game for goofyish gunplay with a decent story.
- Comment on What is your gaming "comfort food" and why? 1 year ago:
Walking simulators and story/emotion heavy games like Life is Strange. Sometimes a good feels helps.
And Skyrim is my comfort game. Helps with panic attacks.
