Came to say the same! The better not fucking touch it!
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Gotta be honest, I was disappointed in this one. It looks more like a beat 'em up than a 1v1 fighting game. Like they’re copying Street Fighter 6’s lame World Tour mode
- Comment on Why Games Now Take 6+ Years To Make 2 weeks ago:
Coordinating large groups of people is hard to do. As teams get larger they can do more work technically, but this also requires endless meetings and requirements discussions to keep everyone on the same page

The commenter was wrong

People fail to realize how rich the 1% really are was his point. Even $500k per year still wouldn’t get you into that tier of rich
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 2 months ago:
Generated code is no different than generated imagery. They were both trained off stolen content and are both in a legally grey area. Both are equally immoral.
But just go with your Everybody else is doing it argument
- Comment on Here's a question: if you were to say something to Davie504 after that video, what would you say? 2 months ago:
Davie seems to mainly rely on ad revenue. I never hear him mention Patreon or merch.
And on those other platforms, those are about the only way to make money
- Comment on Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post) 2 months ago:
Turning Fortnite into Roblox is a major part of the problem. Trying to become the everything game is what stretched them so thin but it came with little payoff
- Comment on Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post) 2 months ago:
Especially the ID Tech engine. It was neck and neck with Unreal for popularity before Bethesda bought them and they stopped selling it to third parties.
The partial death of the ID Tech engine was what cemented Unreal as the leader

I identify more as a Release Candidate male
- Comment on Jason Schreier says Sony is backing away from putting single player games on PC 3 months ago:
Yeah, the king is mobile. It dwarfs PC and console combined. Now please take your AI generated response and shove it
- Comment on Jason Schreier says Sony is backing away from putting single player games on PC 3 months ago:
The exclusive games lead to more sales of other games. If they get rid of exclusives they might as well just give it up and end the PlayStation brand.
PC may be fine for you, but it’s still a shit show IMO. Maybe Valve will fix it. Gaming on Linux has gotten way better since the SteamDeck came out, but still not good enough to get me to switch. Maybe the Steam Machine will eventually turn the tides. But hell, they take 30% too, so really no different than Sony from a developer’s perspective
- Comment on Jason Schreier says Sony is backing away from putting single player games on PC 3 months ago:
This makes a lot of sense if the next Xbox is just a glorified PC. Right now Sony releases some of their games to PC, but never to Xbox. Multiplayer titles really are the ones that make no sense being exclusive because you need that extended network effect

Yeah, things have been in steady decline for the past few months 😞

We made decisions that have absolutely decimated the value of our brand. Now go make money from the ashes!

It’s a shame those pieces of shit didn’t get curb stomped. I can’t wait till it’s time to start really fighting back

Oh god, if he somehow lost his voice and use of his hands, but was otherwise conscious that would be ideal. Suffering in silence like he caused for so many

- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 11 months ago:
Japan has laws that say executives must take a pay cut before they can lay anyone off
- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 11 months ago:
This won’t affect FF 17, but it could mean for a return to turn based with FF 18. Because FF 17 is probably already half way through development and these massive games are too large to make such a major change this late in the dev cycle

And you’re clearly a troll. Goodbye

30+ years of studying game and software development lol
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 1 year ago:
The key ingredient that separates PC from console is you can deploy code custom optimized for the fixed platform hardware. This is why you have to go up a tier in GPU to have an experience on par with what a console would have because it’s running generisized code.
- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 1 year ago:
Still not ported to a console. SteamDeck gives you a console-like experience, but it is not a console
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Yeah only way to get the original soundtrack is via emulator or an actual cartridge. I think it only pertains to Sonic 3 though. I don’t think part 2 (Sonic & Knuckles) had the same issues
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Sonic 2 for the Genesis if my favorite game of all time. So I’d suggest starting with that one. First Sonic was good too, but the second game refined the controls and made some small quality of life improvements. Then Sonic 3 + Knuckles and Sonic Mania are also excellent.
The 3D Sonics have been pretty hit or miss though. The controls are dumbed down and not nearly as tight as the classic 2D ones
