Stop trying to milk the cow. The cow is dead. Nothing good will come out when you pull in these udders.
- Comment on Rolled credits on Doom The Dark Ages. Had a blast. For me, well worth the price of admission and I'm looking forward to the expansion. 2 days ago:
Oh yes, I got all preachy and forgot to actually comment on your content :)
CRUNCHY!

The game looks like a blast, but seeing how Bethesda treated Mick Gordon who did music for the previous two, their general behavior and the fact the whole thing is owned by Microsoft… I just can’t in good conscience give them any money or time/attention.

For others looking, it’s codingfont.com Singular, not plural fonts
- Comment on Star Citizen’s new cash shop offerings provoked fresh pay-to-win and predatory monetization accusations | Massively Overpowered 2 weeks ago:
Pay to win what? Is there a game yet?
- Comment on If I cut up pictures to arrange things in a way that when traced over create something "new," is that a copyright violation? 3 weeks ago:
That “finite and rivalrous” is a definition that sprung up quite recently and I don’t know if I agree with it. How would one “steal a kiss” if it was a finite resource. Also while stealing is not always “punishable by law”, it can still be classified as wrongdoing. As an artist I find all forms of plagiarism to equate to stealing and while they won’t land you behind bars, they may get you a status of persona non grata with other creatives.
- Comment on If I cut up pictures to arrange things in a way that when traced over create something "new," is that a copyright violation? 3 weeks ago:
It’s transformative. You are creating something new that did not exist before. At the very least this will fall under fair use, but your intent will dictate what it ends up being.
Ie: is I take Bugs Bunny’s head and out it on Daffy Duck’s body - I may be doing it as a commentary on WB cartoons, or pop culture in general. That’s ok.
If I try to launch my own Looney Toons cartoon with this new hybrid character - that’s stealing and WB lawyers will be all over any money I may make.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games needs EU citizen signatures! 3 weeks ago:
Done it and reshared a lot back when the campaign started. Can’t believe the “gamerzzz” are so freaking lazy to reach the needed goal. The campaign makes it such an easy step be step process…
- Comment on Why was Hitler so mean and hateful toward one group or another? I find it hard to believe he woke up one day and said you and you suck but these people over here are good. Taking it so far as killing? 3 months ago:
Did nobody mention Nietzsche? Nazi worldview was largely inspired by twisting out cherry picking concepts from his works. The criticism of Christian religions idealizing the meek and looking back towards ancient Rome and Greece for strong, powerful, heroic characters and gods. The ideas of existence of superior and inferior humans. Etc.
- Comment on Game Pass sets quarterly revenue record, sees 30% growth in PC subscribers 3 months ago:
Didn’t they just have the news recently on how buying Activision Blizzard did not move the needle on Game Pass subscriptions?
- Comment on Permabanned from Reddit? 4 months ago:
Imagine you are a smoker and the addiction makes it impossible for you to quit. Then one day nobody will sell you a cigarette or let you bum one off them.
Count your blessings and move on.
Reddit Karma ain’t worth shit. Imaginary Internet points.
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 4 months ago:
Lol, must be a headache for the devs maintaining it, but from the end user perspective it is way more pleasant of an experience than epic, origin, gog, ubi and whatever else is out there.
- Comment on Has anyone attempted to create a Fediverse-based Character AI like service? 4 months ago:
Sure hope not.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 4 months ago:
Yea, if I recall correctly, the Yuzu team was sharing roms of latest Nintendo releases internally and Nintendo was able to prove it. At least Jeff Gerstman podcast suggested something to that accord when reporting on it.
- Comment on What realistically would happen if someone came back to life from the dead ? 4 months ago:
Either nobody would believe it, or it would be on every screen and headline for a week, before the next news cycle Swiss the attention away.
- Comment on Why So Many Video Games Cost So Much to Make 4 months ago:
Of course the companies pin the graphics as a culprit. Otherwise they would have to admit the mismanagement is the reason they burn through millions of dollars. Mismanagement brings with it another aspect the author did not mention: stress and burnout. Either working too hard, or spinning wheels doing nothing is pure poison to a creative person. Constant direction changes, lack of clear communication, never knowing whether you did well or are on the verge of being laid off - all these make people work harder but output less/worse quality assets.
It’s how all big tech companies work.
- Comment on Chants of Sennaar, a puzzle game where you decipher an alien language (Demo available) 4 months ago:
This was my top 5 of 2023 for sure. Wonderful experience. Certainly my favorite of the “learn a language” type games.
- Comment on [People Make Games] 100 Slaps: The Breaking News The Games Industry Ignored in 2024 4 months ago:
This was brutal to watch in an already grim reality of 2025, but an important one. This is not just a remote, 3rd world problem (as if that was an excuse) - this is how our AAA games are made.
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 4 months ago:
Pretty good points there, though i’d argue it’s not just pure numerical IQ, but mostly life experience. The more variety of life you experience, the more you know of human history, different cultures, ways of thinking and seeing the world - the harder it is for you to get impressed by something as shallow as AI.
Tech bros live in a bubble of their own creation and don’t understand the true richness of the human condition.
- Comment on What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm? 4 months ago:
Also Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir: Great book about communicating with species that differs from humans in almost every possible way.

The game looks OK, that quote though: pure gold
- Comment on Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games? 5 months ago:

News news news, it may also be using a game controller to translate user input into character actions.

Here’s one face I wish I could block. Searching any video game topic on YouTube always pops his drama filled mug in the results.
- Comment on What do allergies feel like for you? 7 months ago:
I get really bad brain fog. It’s like I wake up and feel my IQ has halved. Simple problems seem gigantic, everything is a hassle. On top of that - general fatigue, like walking up the stairs or running a bit gets me all breathless. Even though I should be familiar with it by now, I always keep thinking: “is it COVID?”
Then one day it rains and the pollen subsides and suddenly I can run and think and feel like myself again.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 8 months ago:
It’s a pity SONY didn’t have any games to announce alongside the new console. There is nothing or there I feel like I need more power to play, and I already completed games they demoed, sometimes years ago.
- Comment on Launch dates for upcoming Xbox games 9 months ago:
Truly, a lineup worthy of all these Billions of dollars spent in acquisitions and thousands of lives fucked with layoffs.

It always looked good, just played poorly.
