- Comment on Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handhelds Cost Up to $999.99, Preorders Open Now 2 days ago:
Generic rebranded slop of an already generic ASUS handheld, for a band. Thats crazy
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Teaser Trailer | Tokyo Game Show 2025 3 days ago:
Thats why we shop indie. Having the time of my life, playing all of these incredible games
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Teaser Trailer | Tokyo Game Show 2025 3 days ago:
Besides having login issues with the stupid microsoft panel, 4 and 5 ran fine. But to be honest, I don’t really feel like spending money on a corporation, that doesn’t give a fuck about anything other than maximizing profits through cutting every corner imaginable
- Comment on A Kentucky church is urging its members to remove books from the Shelby Public Library by checking them out and never returning them 1 week ago:
Laws for thee, but not for me. Didnt you know?
- Comment on I can't change my email account in Steam because it's mistaken for a temporary email 2 weeks ago:
Had the same problem, and it’s definitely not the first time I’ve encountered this issue. I have an inbox attached to a custom domain, and there have been multiple instances of platforms refusing registration, as they think it’s a temporary inbox, or just plain give you “this isnt gmail or alternative”.
If reducing fake accounts is the goal, this ain’t it
- Comment on Thoughts on the humble bundle this month? 2 weeks ago:
When the two flagship titles are sports scamware, and a largely discontinued set of expansions for a dying mmo, i dont even know what to say
- Comment on Slay the Spire 2 early access delayed to March 2026 2 weeks ago:
Can also try Shroom and Gloom when that comes out. Played the demo, loved it. Clearly very strongly inspired by StS, but in a way that none of the clones are. This one is very unique in many ways
- Comment on Slay the Spire 2 early access delayed to March 2026 2 weeks ago:
I would always much rather take a delayed game, than a bad/unfinished one. I love StS1 so I’m glad they are giving the sequel the attention it deserves
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Silksong is my main entertainment for now. Other than that, I’m playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 + its expansion again, and also getting through Factorio Space Age with a friend. A lot of fun to be had
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 3 weeks ago:
What the fuck are we even doing at this point, as a society?
- Comment on World Of Warcraft Turtle WoW Servers Hit With Blizzard Lawsuit 4 weeks ago:
While you are correct, I understand what they’re trying to say.
WoW suffers massively from adding new systems every patch, that feel like a full-time job. That never made any sense to me, given that an average WoW player already spends an abnormal amount of time playing the game, but they’re trying to fomo you into logging in even more.
It all probably just comes out to corporate metrics, because the people in Microsoft/Blizzard leadership don’t play their own games
- Comment on Over 450 Diablo developers at Blizzard have unionized 4 weeks ago:
I genuinely don’t understand what all those people are doing there. Not just in Blizzard, but any other corporate studio
- Comment on Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot summoned to appear before French court in relation to harassment trial 4 weeks ago:
Would love to hear about how he’ll weasel his way out if this one
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer (September 4) 5 weeks ago:
The atmosphere. The fluidity yet sharpness of combat. The emotional attachment to the story. The absolutely gorgeous level designs.
No game will be for everyone, and it’s okay if this one isn’t for you
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 5 weeks ago:
I was gonna say the 2028 one is deeply disturbing, but in reality, all of them are
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
Škoda are a massive offender, in my eyes. No one here drives their cars, except for taxis, because they were cheap, comfortable enough, and no one cares if you beat one up. Now, they position themselves as some kind of a mid-range luxury brand, but the quality does not speak for itself whatsoever
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
At this point, companies will do literally fucking anything, just to pad the numbers for the shareholder reports. The Volkswagen group can screw itself. When we start decent seeing vehicles to a decent price again, maybe we can resume this conversation. Everyone’s tired of plastic garbage for top dollar
- Comment on Former BioWare exec producer says EA was pitched multiple times to remaster the first three Dragon Age games 1 month ago:
At this point, I doubt this will happen, because they’ve purposefully sunk Dreadwolf/Veilguard into the abyss, and probably wrote the entire DA series off, as a loss, all together
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 month ago:
- Gothic 2, and by extension, Chronicles of Myrtana
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
- Both are equally as monumental, so it’s shared between Obra Dinn, and Outer Wilds
That being said, i’ve excluded any mmos out of this list, purely because sometimes i struggle to call them my favorite games, despite having playing several thousand hours of each. Some of them have been unbelievably impactful at certain times in my life, but i’m afraid the embers are getting cold now
- Comment on 'Consumers are not okay with okay': Take-Two boss says BioShock 4 is taking so long because the company's goal is 'to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment' 1 month ago:
Someone from Take-two leadership said that? Are they ill with something? That’s the most sensible statement i’ve heard from them in ages
- Comment on Ubisoft's annual report dictates that the consumers are the problem 2 months ago:
Ubislop need to be reminded that if you make a shit product, with a legally abusive EULA, no one owes you anything. You will go out of business, and we’ll applaud as your headquarters are repossessed by the real estate company
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 2 months ago:
I would understand forcibly banning/removing something, if it poses a real existential threat to the majority of people.
But religion fueled bigotry, in a place where you can CHOOSE to buy and play something, or completely ignore and hide if you’d like? Come on. Adults can decide if they want to have access to this content on their own, without a completely unrelated third party constantly trying to fucking inject themselves in between
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 2 months ago:
The entire complaint was based on nothing too. They claimed he’s orchestrating some crazy financial scheme, and getting paid 6 digits from it, when he’s not only doing it for free, but can’t even participate in the initiative to begin with
- Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios 2 months ago:
Japanese corporations overwork people to literal death, but at least you’re not going to be laid off 2 months into a new job. Not as big of a flex as they think it is
- Comment on Has the live-service dream crashed back down to earth? | Opinion 2 months ago:
x as a service has always been a net negative for the consumer, and a net positive for the seller.
It strips them away from responsibility, because you can sell incomplete dogshit under a promise of future patches, or push something out for a price, and then continue raising the price, as you pump out more stuff into the system.
In the case of games specifically, we’ve all seen the typical outcomes. Low effort slop, with a flood of “micro” transactions at a later date, or complete abandonment
- Comment on Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says criminal “geoengineering and weather modification activities" could have played a role in recent Texas floods 2 months ago:
See, that’s what we don’t understand in their legislative genius! Coal? Oil? Trash piles? All of that doesn’t contribute anything to anything, of course, besides padding their wallet with lobbyist money. Jewish space lasers, and chemical typhoon generating planes from the democrats though? That’s where the real problem is
- Comment on LIMBO and INSIDE are being delisted from GOG on July 17th 2 months ago:
Having played both, the answer is definitely yes. They’re not particularly long, but really solid
- Comment on Against the Storm - Nightwatchers DLC Trailer 2 months ago:
I’ve really enjoyed this game, but haven’t bought the first expansion yet though. This one looks quite cool too!
- Comment on When does Trump finally start taking accountability? 2 months ago:
The most likely answer is it’ll happen when he finally pisses off his own minions enough. He’s more likely to die, before he’ll see any kind of real punishment for anything.
Now that he’s about to rob several millions of people of basic needs being met, maybe things will start moving
- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 2 months ago:
I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it’s always those “young people” ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40’s. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.
The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don’t pay anything, through loopholes and theft
