- Comment on Game Pass sets quarterly revenue record, sees 30% growth in PC subscribers 23 hours 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 days 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 2 weeks 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? 2 weeks ago:
Sure hope not.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 2 weeks 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 ? 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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) 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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 weeks ago:
Also Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir: Great book about communicating with species that differs from humans in almost every possible way.
- Comment on Modulus Announcement Trailer 5 weeks ago:
The game looks OK, that quote though: pure gold
- Comment on Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games? 1 month ago:
Interactive Entertainment?

News news news, it may also be using a game controller to translate user input into character actions.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
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? 3 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 4 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 5 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.

Thank you! That’s a name I haven’t heard in a decade or so!

- Comment on Senua's Saga: Hellblade II - Review Thread 8 months ago:
I totally expect this will be the last title before it gets closed.
- Comment on Trackmania 20th Anniversary: Desert Update Trailer 8 months ago:
Thanks! …and bummer. I’m not a fan of this iteration. Liked the crazy, almost photoreal style of earlier ones. The minimalist to-the-point aesthetic of 2020 one feels too utilitarian to me.
- Comment on Trackmania 20th Anniversary: Desert Update Trailer 8 months ago:
I don’t get it. Is it a new graphics update for the original game or for 1/3 of the original trilogy? Is it a new timesheet for current trackmania? Is it a new title?
I loved the original dessert, it was easily my favorite of the first environments.
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 10 months ago:
Ha I remember that. I also recall someone in the 80s there was a pop song popular in Poland, entitled “Glass Weather”. It was about these rainy autumn evenings when there’s nothing better to do than sit in front of your (black and white) TV. The lyrics were mentioning “apartment window blue from the TV glow”.
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 10 months ago:
This is a very non scientific answer, but when I was a kid (good 40 years ago) I remember having a science book that called TV static “an echo of the big bang”. I guess that would mean just randomly scattered energy bouncing around on all bands?..
I could probably Google it and give you an answer, but I’ll just wait for someone with a more convincingly and authoritatively written reply.
- Comment on Horizon Forbidden West is now available on PC 10 months ago:
Feels to me like some folks just want to give due warning to help others from throwing money away. I don’t think most are being negative for negativity’s sake - but I may just be too optimistic about the state of the discourse.
- Comment on confident gamers interview Biowave Ceo 1 year ago:
Took me forever to internalize the title and realize this indeed has nothing to do with Bioware.
