- Comment on Steam has the best UI 4 days ago:
It has awful maintainability if you have to create a new component every time you want a new button, instead of reutilising old code in a way that changing the way one of them works should change all of them. It would also make the devs able to work faster and get to just focus on the main stuff they are working on.
Steam seems to have a lot of different Devs attempting to do their own thing from scratch again and again. And that’s bad. I imagine their codebase is an absolute nightmare.

Oh so it’s a group of countries

That’s cool, thanks for informing me

What does OECD stand for?
- Comment on Star Wars: Outlaws Reportedly Sold Less in 2024 than Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Did – WGB 1 week ago:
I just don’t want a massive open world game all of the time. It’s already played ffvii rebirth and put 90 hours into it. After that I want something different for the rest of the year. No matter how much I enjoy star wars
- Comment on What year is it 1 week ago:
We can’t know for certain the rules we now attribute to this game are what were originally played though. The rules were essentially made up in a way that made sense to what the board looks like and what was found with it. There is no documentation on this found anywhere in history.
- Comment on For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up 1 week ago:
I think alien.top is a proxy for refit so those users are likely bot users that go in place of Reddit users
- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 1 week ago:
I’m pretty certain it’s latter of my comment. Don’t know what FUD means though
- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 1 week ago:
Yeah i assumed this might’ve been the case, hence the last sentence in my comment
- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 1 week ago:
I’m sure on the game specs on the store it says steam will no longer support win 10 in jan 2025. Unless i misread and it’s it’ll only support win 10 and above.
- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 1 week ago:
I’m going to imagine Xbox would love to. But Microsoft is stopping them. They’d stop android and ios too if they still had windows phone.
- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 1 week ago:
Just chiming in to confirm you’re correct. I use big picture mode on windows and I’ve got to keep an air mouse with me for moments like that.
- Comment on Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds 1 week ago:
Isn’t steam about to no longer support 10?
- Comment on Sony is working on Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 movies 2 weeks ago:
That makes sense
- Comment on Sony is working on Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 movies 2 weeks ago:
I thought the horizon movie got cancelled not that long ago
- Comment on Recettear HD Announced for 2025 2 weeks ago:
I’ve played the original
- Comment on How many games do you manage to play at the same time? 2 weeks ago:
Usually one per system or genre at a time.
Like I’ll have a ps5 game on the go, something on the pc, and a few per emulated system on my handheld.
Or I’ll have a more arcadey game and an rpg on the go for when I’m in the mood for either kind of thing.
- Comment on It's just the begin Jerry. 2 weeks ago:
Is this referencing anything specific, I’ve not heard any crazy news for this year yet
- Comment on Choosing pink is chaotic evil? 2 weeks ago:
Pink is the only good one there, especially since I don’t need yellow
- Comment on Graphic Design Is My Passion 2 weeks ago:
The order makes sense for the golden ratio though, you follow the spiral
- Comment on Recettear HD Announced for 2025 3 weeks ago:
Not a fan of the look of the shop. Perspective and scale is strange
- Comment on Have JRPG battles become a sub-system? 3 weeks ago:
OG FFVII is full of minigames. I don’t think rebirth has more than the OG, also it’s like half of the game not a third (the last disc is just the final dungeon, and the second disc is not as long as the first).
When the OG does a minigame it’s often a one and done thing. Rebirth madness it fell like more because you can go back and do more of each minigame with increasing difficulties etc.
I think subsystems just lend very well to JRPGs because they’re often trying to create a world, and adding such to their games makes their worlds feel more full. I also think the Japanese do their game development different to the west most of the time. Since a lot of these minigames are made because developers have finished the parts of the main game they were working on so they mess around trying to make something new and fun that might be able to be tacked on as an extra.

I feel like we shouldn’t be eating meat if we have to jump through so much shit to “make it work”. Putting increasing your tolerance to antibiotics on the top of the cake and it’s a no go for health reasons alone.
- Comment on Hope you had a great christmas 3 weeks ago:
If you constantly eat meat with antibiotics in you’re increasing your tolerance to antibiotics no matter the amount. So when you actually need antibiotics they’re going to do fuck all for you
- Comment on Hope you had a great christmas 3 weeks ago:
31mg too much
- Comment on Hope you had a great christmas 3 weeks ago:
Light blue is bang on in the middle so it’s still quite a lot.

- Comment on Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice 4 weeks ago:
I’d much rather buy a full game from the get go and have everything available with no time limit on when i need to buy it.
There is no FOMO if you can leave it for years, actually get the game with all dlc cheaper second hand for a couple of quid and still finding a thriving community online that isn’t focused on completing timed challenges for various currencies to get cosmetics you like the look of before they disappear from the store or the deal for the cheaper price runs out.
