- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 4 days ago:
Out of curiosity what are the 16 dev preserved ones?
- Comment on Common British L 4 days ago:
There’s plenty of British-created curries or ones that have been heavily modified in the UK. If you went to India and wanted a tikka masala. I imagine it would be pretty hard to find one, and if you did it wouldn’t be like it was in the UK.
Personally I do prefer Indian curries because they get more interesting with the veggie ones though.
- Comment on The PS3's comeback was insane 5 days ago:
I got locked out of my Xbox live account for like 5-8 years with no way to recover it because my @live email was not my main email and their recovery prices and for endless you may have been sent.
I somehow ended up having a temporary email attached to it that came with a game server hosting site that I no longer had. When I found this out I resubbed to that service and hoped i could get the same email address and I did and was finally able to get back in.
By then though I had moved to the PS3 and have stuck with Sony since (for consoles). But getting my Xbox account back allowed me to redownload all of my rock band 3 dlc again.
- Comment on The PS3's comeback was insane 5 days ago:
Loads of people still don’t realise that on a numbers basis, PS3 “won” that generation. But I think culturally it’s understood that the 360 did and because of that people are usually shocked at the PS3s sales figures.
- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 5 days ago:
I feel like there’s more options to fix things in Linux. On windows it felt someone’s your just got a brick wall with an issue just because Windows want designed around the fix you envisioned.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 6 days ago:
All of those games’ characters are essentially just mascots though (other than samus). So they’re not really an applicable comparison for continuing a character long term in a story focused world that tries to be somewhat grounded in terms of consequences and passage of time.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #16 1 week ago:
As someone from the UK, where most of our spines were standardised like the PS1 and PS2. And having personally collected hundreds of the latter. I’ve always preferred consistent standardised spines. A full bookcase of PAL PS2 games looks so much nicer to me than the messy look of one filled with NTSC games in my opinion.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
I don’t hate times exclusives that much because that’s done extra cashflow for the dev to be able to either finish their game or polish it further. I still don’t think we’d have gotten Alan Wake 2 at least the version we got without that epic deal. I also don’t know if square would’ve bothered even entertaining the idea of porting all of the kingdoms hearts games either.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 week ago:
I think they did bring back Doom RPG best phone game ever
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year 2 weeks ago:
I must’ve heard wrong then. I swear I saw that they got shut down and then a different team came in to do those extra fixes on the shitty trilogy collection
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year 2 weeks ago:
I think they got shut down did they not?
- Comment on Onion be onioning again 2 weeks ago:
Best thing to do is (i know it’s cliche) but to not worry about it.
Just focus on yourself and the hobbies you find fun. Then start to look for others (not romantically) that also partake in those hobbies. Maybe try and find local in person meet ups or spaces that accommodate for it.
You just be you and eventually you’ll attract someone without effort. No one is completely unique and you will find a common ground with someone that will eventually flourish. And because it’s around the things you already love, it’ll be less effort.
I know ADHD can throw a spanner in the works too (I have it as well). But it will come to you either through practice or by o professional help (like I did) depending on the severity.

I would also like to keep my bones wet for as long as possible too

Right post there chief
- Comment on Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories 3 weeks ago:
I think the remake has better controls. Like just pressing triangle to add to a sleight for example. But the 3d playing field can make using them sleights a bit more awkward than on the GBA.
- Comment on Marvel Officially Retitles Thunderbolts as The New Avengers 3 weeks ago:
Bit annoyed at this because I’ve yet to see it.
Also I feel like it would’ve been better to keep it as thunderbolts* that way the rename happens during the film as you watch it instead.
- Comment on Generational differences 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah absolutely i’d rather be next to a smoker than a vaper. But because smokers go to smoking areas that I obviously have no need to go to, I encounter inconsiderate vapers way more than I do smokers nowadays.
Only time smokers become a problem for me now is briefly walking past them or at outdoor festivals.
- Comment on Generational differences 3 weeks ago:
This is why i hate vapers way more than i hate smokers. At the very least smokers go elsewhere when they smoke.
(If you’re vaping to quit though you have my respect)
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 3 weeks ago:
He was saying that £80 was worth it cause of the amount of hours. So i brought up games with similar or more hours that are cheaper. Including prior gta games…
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 3 weeks ago:
Exactly
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 3 weeks ago:
I’m trying to point out that i don’t think that the length of a game shouldn’t really be indicative of the price. I have no issue with him enjoying the game or buying it.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 3 weeks ago:
There’s plenty of jrpgs half that price point with twice the length though. Heck, even the previous GTAs have at least that length for a cheaper price, and are occasionally even cheaper now. Be patient and you’ll likely even get the game given away for free.

Yeah I’ll hop on her machine when I get a chance and she’s not too busy playing oblivion to have a mess around.

Big picture has the same performance issues as gaming mode on nvidia though doesn’t it?
I remember my partner trying it when we first built her pc and it was awful. Although at the time she was on a 1050 Ti temporarily, which also had other issues on the OS. She’s now on a 3050 so maybe it’s better now?
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #13 4 weeks ago:
That means having to use big picture mode though right?
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #13 4 weeks ago:
Anyone know if there’s a way to get junk store for bazzite desktop?
It would be great for my partner who has bazzite but doesn’t touch the gaming mode because she has an nvidia card at the moment and it runs like dog shit.
This is her first Linux experience so it would be nice to have something really simple for her to use.
- Comment on Monty Python and the Holy Grail at 50: a hilarious comic peak 4 weeks ago:
What you on about, the ending is great? It’s dumb sure. But it perfectly suits the film and Monty python in general in my opinion

Fucking preach! I feel like this falls on deaf ears most of the time though sadly.
