Meh, I put aside RDR2 pretty quickly, hate the constant tutorials and hand holding.
I’ve got a lot more hours in many retro games tham RDR2 or Elden Ring
- Comment on How TF2 Still Makes Millions (With No Updates) 2 days ago:
I mean yeah, that’s why I said it’s probably not the updates people want, but they’re still allowing mostly community backed updates and add them quite regularly.
- Comment on How TF2 Still Makes Millions (With No Updates) 2 days ago:
Not according to the patch notes though
- Comment on How TF2 Still Makes Millions (With No Updates) 2 days ago:
Last update: December 23th, 2025.
Yea, they’re probably making some point, but I’m not gonna bother watching if the thumbnail is already wrong
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 4 days ago:
Reaction videos just feel like a cheap way to profit on other people’s content without getting flagged.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 4 days ago:
I played the original Chinatown Wars on the NDS, still one of my favorite games.
Wish we’d get another top-down GTA like this. I love it being more fast-paced and arcady than the GTAs we current get.

Tramp in the swamp?
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 month ago:
Yeah, it happens to prevent a mass sell-off because of speculation.
Even if the news is positive, postponing is enough to make people speculate, so it’s a valid reason to halt trading.
Although I doubt it’s gonna be positive news for shareholders.

They have so many great IPs that are just gathering dust or in development hell, yet they keep milking the same few games every year.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 overtakes Mario Kart 8 as the 4th best-selling video game of all time, boasting 79 million sales 1 month ago:
This is my sentiment with all recent Rockstar games.
Fantastic settings, great stories, but so much bloat. It’s cool that there’s so much stuff to do, but all the interruptions from actually playing the game are so tiresome.

Agreed, the rules were pretty clear, why did he only contact the mods the second time?

Isn’t Deep Rock Galactic an extraction shooter?
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 2 months ago:
Dated, not outdated. Or do I totally have the meaning of the word wrong?
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 2 months ago:
Dated does not mean obsolete. But it’s hard to deny a digital clock is superior in almost every way.
Unlike the other examples you’re giving, I fail to see in what aspect an analog clock beats a digital one. Sure they have a certain charm, but functionally their just behind their digital counterpart.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 2 months ago:
Analogue clocks are a great example of kids having to understand a concept and apply it. And it’s simple enough that anyone can learn it.
I often see examples where children are required to memorize a set solution, instead of showing understanding and reaching the solutions themselves.
These clocks are somewhat dated, but removing them just feels like another symptom of a failing educational system.

According to you logic, I shouldn’t even go to the store.
Why am I doing free labor when someone can pick it up and deliver it for me?

- Comment on 2 months ago:
Stuff would he cheaper if we get rid of cashiers. So I would actually be earning money.
Maybe stores should introduce a self scan discount.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Grab a scanner, scan while picking up items, pay and leave store.
It’s barely any extra “labor” and no need for useless jobs.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 2 months ago:
I do have a Qobuz subscription, I just rip whatever I want to listen and stream from my home server.
You can also do a free trial for a month and just use a disposable e-mail to redo it every month, if you don’t want to pay anything.

Resale. You can easily sell these again, which is not possible with a fully digital copy.

- Comment on Ethical alternatives to Spotify 3 months ago:
That’s slowly being replaced with “AI content”, Spotify is literally becoming more shot by the day.
I don’t really use it myself, but you can scrobble to services like last.fm and get recommendations that way.
And if you want to sponsor your favorite artists, just go to their concerts or buy some music or merch. You’re paying them way more that way than your plays on streaming platforms ever will.

Very edgy
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 3 months ago:
It’s a dumb comparison, as their reason for owning guns is entirely different and tied to national defense, not self-defense and “freedom”

And as usual in Belgium, the German language isn’t represented at all
- Comment on Informative review 4 months ago:
You’re referring to “bubble foam tea”, which refers to the foam.
“Bubble tea” is something different and refers to the tapioca pearls.
At least, that’s the distinction Wikipedia gives, which seems to match the given origins of bubble tea

Then there’s Belgium and The Netherlands, where the same words have straight up different meanings.
