Same here, loved that game. I think it was almost criminal that its sequel was canceled, especially as it was allegedly almost complete.

Good, now you know how we Prey original fans feel. First time?
(this is a joke, I like Arkane and hope they don’t get shuttered) (also goddammit why name it Prey when it has literally nothing to do with the original IP you still own? Bethesda you clowns)
- Comment on No Rest for the Wicked - 1.0 Announce Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I’m so very hyped for this one. Just unlocked the final area in the game’s current version, was mortified that it’s inaccessible until version 1.0.
Easily one of the best games I’ve played this year.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 weeks ago:
I think most people liked Bulletstorm. It’s just that not a lot of people played it, and the reviews were - for some inexplicable reason - tepid to negative.

It kind of sounds like they’re all having a good time hanging out with each other, and you’re frustrated that they’re not responding to your attempts at getting attention.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 5 months ago:
Very disappointing when that happens, I agree - but that’s the risk we take as people who pre-order!
My nightmare pre-order was Star Citizen, to the point that I now despise Kickstarter.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 5 months ago:
I pre-order games I know I’d buy on launch. Some titles I just know I’ll play, regardless of reviews - E.g. Sequels to games I love like the Witcher 3 or any of the Dying Light games.
I’ll also do Early Access if I want to play the game early and am okay with jank, E.g. Hades 2, Windblown.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 6 months ago:
Not to be pedantic, but your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer feels like walking into a pizza shop, ordering a pizza, then getting mad because you wanted a burger.
If you don’t like announcement teasers then don’t watch them and just wait for the reveal trailer to release?
It usually goes announcement -> teaser -> reveal -> the rest

Been playing it solo for a day - I definitely avoid pvp where I can, and even do my best to help other Raiders if they’re chill.
It’s a good game.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds is getting outsold by its 4-year-old predecessor 7 months ago:
B- but I really like it? I think it’s the best. :(
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds is getting outsold by its 4-year-old predecessor 7 months ago:
And they were posting the same articles while Rise was out.
Like, just pick one of the following titles for a pre-DLC monster hunter game and there’ll be low effort reporting written about it:
- Monster Hunter game too easy!
- Monster Hunter game too short!
- Monster Hunter game need more monster!
- Food videos were better in the last game!
- Last game had better mechanics, where is xxx
I love Wilds, think it’s the best MH game I’ve played since GU. Can’t wait for its expansion to drop. I’m ready for master rank.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 7 months ago:
They used to support Linux as a platform, but they ended up dropping it because the userbase was too small to warrant the additional development efforts. I think it was around 2015 they added Linux versions of their games, only to remove them in 2018ish?
Either way, it meant switching to Steam for me. I understand that it was a business decision, but it was a damn shame…
(All of this was pre-Galaxy.)
- Comment on 7 months ago:
Yep, which is precisely why it’s my favorite. I think it’s a really well balanced game. Now if it wasn’t for the crappy main menu UI (which, granted, they’ve really improved as of late) and the bizarre bugs (which they haven’t) it would be almost perfect.
- Comment on 8 months ago:
As a guy with over 2.5k hours in Hunt, I think it really comes down to people just enjoying different things. I can no longer play standard match based shooters, anymore, as I find the lack of consequence leads me to not caring about the outcome of games.
Incidentally I’ve also returned to playing Eve, because losing a level 50 hunter you spent a few hours leveling up? That’s nothing compared to losing a ship you spent half a year working towards.
Basically I’m addicted to lossy progression in games. Not claiming it’s an end-all-be-all mechanic, but damn if it hasn’t made me love games again.

Love those games so much, incredibly hyped to hear we might get a sequel.

Can you post a source for this?
- Comment on Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit 10 months ago:
I think it’s because of the colors used, visual theme, mecha nature of the enemies, and character design of the protagonists - too many direct similarities to argue it’s just inspiration.

Sounds like it’ll be worth playing the first, then. I’ll do that! Thanks for the info.

Shouldn’t one play Undertale first? Is it a sequel or a spiritual successor?
- Comment on Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs 11 months ago:
Yep.
- Comment on Hunt: Showdown 1896 is back online with its 2.4 update after Crytek rolled it back because it was so broken 11 months ago:
Poor Crytek… They worked /ended up working all night long and through a holiday.
Say what you want about game bugs and how annoying they might be for players, but teams sacrificing like this to fix a mistake is something I’ll always have sympathy for.
Hope they can get some rest 😅
- Comment on Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs 1 year ago:
OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game’s fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.

Completely reasonable
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 year ago:
But as far as I can remember, you can’t administer the rooms in a space as one. Like you need to be invited into each separate room.
Nope, again - I don’t understand who told you this. When you’re creating a room in Matrix you can make it either public, invite only, or only joinable via membership in a specific space.
Here’s a screenshot of the room security interface:
Not saying that you couldn’t add that, I’m saying they don’t seem to want to “do what discord did”. Which is a bummer since the success of discord clearly shows what would be needed.
You are correct in that they “don’t want to do what discord this”: recently (and you can see this in their apps like EleX) they’ve transitioned to looking and acting more like modern mobile chat apps like Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram - a decision I’m assuming they’ve made as most of their funding comes from people who want a replacement for those apps and not Discord.
Regardless, just using a Discord-like client (e.g. Commet) is enough to get the experience you want.
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 year ago:
Yeah, all fair points - especially the stuff relating to stickers (also, custom emojis).
Still, I’m hoping element gets their shit together and improves the default element apps (also brings Web/Desktop up to par with Mobile).
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 year ago:
There’s only one standard, it has no forks. The discussion is about a filtering feature.
A lot of people don’t seem to respect spaces and communities - from my perspective it looks like the devs are currently pivoting to make the official client look and act more like Telegram/Signal/WhatsApp than Discord/IRC.
Your issue is that the dev team of EleX not prioritizing a feature you want.
If anything, this is a strength of an open source ecosystem: someone who agrees with you was able to, months ago, setup a fork that appeals to your work flow.
Try that with Discord, next time!
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 year ago:
I also hadn’t used it in a while - used to be very rough around the edges.
Just installed it on my phone, it’s actually pretty usable now!
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 year ago:
If you like Discord’s UI, there is a new Matrix client being developed - called Commet.Chat - that is trying to look and feel like Discord.
Might be worth checking out!
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 year ago:
It does have that.
A “server” in Matrix is a space. A chat channel is called a room. A space can hold as many rooms as you want.
Fun fact, unlike Discord, a space can even hold other spaces in it!
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 1 year ago:
SchildiChat Next is a mini-fork of Element X with proper spaces support (and some other nice UI additions).
I say mini-fork as it’s basically just EleX with some UI patches - so it follows EleX actively.
