  It’s just fan speculation at this point, but yeah. I’ll be thinking about it before I buy, if I do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, feels like an overreaction to me, especially given the economic upheaval affecting the world since 2018.

  Devs gotta eat and the game is not only good but fairly priced already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently in 2018 the devs stated publicly they’d never add paid content to the game. At least that’s what the fans state. I dunno.

  I bought it a year ago, played it for ten hours. It’s a fun little game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t buy a lot of the big company games anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard the new Game of Thrones game is using LLM’s to generate some of its content. Pisses me off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the games I’ve spent very little on I’ve put a ton of time into, like Vampire Survivors, Noita, and Dungeon Defenders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh definitely. I’ve enjoyed the experience of helping devs mold a title into something better in exchange for a lower price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fine. I don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My rule is I’m only willing to pay a dollar for every expected hour of play, so you can imagine I buy few things at full price.

  The last two games I paid full price for were Elden Ring and Mandragora. I am far more likely to pay full price for an indie title that I’m excited about than anything else, because as an artist myself, I fully understand the impact of a pre-purchase on an indie studio.

  Lucky bastard.

  Sometimes I enjoy just basking in the dark morass of my own thoughts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does one learn or start to manage thair life better?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a very broad question.

  What specifically are you wanting to improve right now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup.

  It’s annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m one of them. Huzzah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best way to start is to find little bits of extra activity in your day: park at the back of the lot and walk a few extra hundred feet. Get to the store early, grab a cart you can use to make the walk easier, and do a few laps around the store. If need be, there are workouts on youtube you can do in your bed, if you’ve gotten big enough that walking is difficult.

  That sort of thing.

  Once you notice these activities getting easier, increase your difficulty and begin training harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve tried all of the compatibility programs.

  Some will run using those, but in a very, very sluggish way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love to hear it, but only about 70% of mine work on Linux, so I’m stuck with a dual boot. 99% Linux is better than no Linux, at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea.

  I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.

  In the spring and summer, in a park near my home, there’s a three feet-tall crane that makes appearances before sunup, and on the days I can’t sleep, I get up early to go see him. Birds can be really neat.

  It’s a manufactured famine, which is a war crime.

  But try telling that to an Israel apologist.

  Sure Jan.

  IDF themselves designated for evacuation dozens of times

  LOL, telling people to evacuate when there’s no real infrastructure to do so… does not absolve them for committing a genocide.

  I could sail out to the middle of the ocean, put you on a rowboat, and tell you that you’re free to go “safely” and it’s still going to be my fault when your ass drowns.

  why do you guys wear uniforms and operate openly and build military bases away from schools and hospitals

  Two reasons: First, they actually have a military, generously funded by the US taxpayer. Second, you’re right, it’s so rude for Palestine to directly place their schools and hospitals in the path of American Israeli bombs.

  See also: It’s your fault for putting your face in the way of my fist.

  Totally.

  Hamas should not have put their hospitals in the way of American Israeli bombs.

  Palestine doesn’t have an army, a navy, or an air force.

  But, enjoy all the excuses you will undoubtedly see in this thread from genocide Israeli apologists.

  Hell, Palestinians can’t even go to a designated aid station for food without getting massacred by Israel.

  Just when you think EA can’t get any shittier, they find another way to lower the bar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure it’s provable, really, but the idea for T-Rex having movement-based vision is (if I’m remembering correctly, forgive me as it’s been a while) something that came from the Jurassic Park story, and more specifically how frog vision works, since they used frog DNA to birth their dinosaurs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could be wrong, and if I am, it’s just an opportunity to learn a new thing.

  Have a great day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can think of a few.

  • That T-Rex’ vision was based on movement.
  • Feathered dinosaurs are a thing.
  • What we were taught as the ‘reservation’ system more closely resembled concentration camps, and indigenous people were given a choice between death marches and war. -That the US military was actually on the wrong side of nearly every civilian movement for greater rights, from suffrage, to labor, and now freedom of speech.
