- Comment on We show you how NVIDIA RTX Remix can upgrade your classic games with Quake III - PAX East 2026 2 days ago:
That‘s funny because I firmly believe they showcased DLSS5 at that time in this state only to cover up news coverage about their Palantir partnership and passionate support for Israel. It was genius.
- Comment on Disney may be interested in acquiring Epic Games at some point, it’s claimed 3 days ago:
A bit late, isn‘t it? The saudis loaded it with debt and I doubt EA will exist for very long.
- Comment on Why are steam games a rip off in EUR or GBP? 4 days ago:
Same with Konami and Nintendo. Japanese game companies have very quickly made their stuff very expensive in the west while still launching somewhat affordable in their home country. I don‘t buy their new releases. They‘re out of their goddamn mind.
- Comment on "Summer 2026 is going to be amazing".. World Leaders: 5 days ago:
Only autocrats and fascist world leaders mind you.
- Comment on There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev 6 days ago:
I think of Eurojank as a genre of an era that is long gone. Odd simulation games and janky indie hits come from all over the world these days while European games are critically acclaimed and steamroll award shows.
Eurojank is a nostalgic label. An afterthought. Like how the term Gothic architecture was slapped onto cathedrals later on. When I think of Eurojank I think of the late 90s to early 2010s.
And yes for every Eurojank game like Gothic you can probably find a US equivalent like Morrowind that is just as unpolished and raw. So this nostalgic cliché likely isn‘t even all that accurate. The dev has a point here. At least I think so.
- Comment on List of 3rd person shooter-3D platformer hybrids I know of (and looking for more) 1 week ago:
I really enjoyed Sunset Overdrive. The platforming mostly consists of skateboard-esque rail jumping that I actually enjoyed a lot.
- Comment on It's an unlimited plan 1 week ago:
No country is far away. Especially not on the internet. Like, from my perspective America is further away than China and there‘s a huge ocean between us. Still feel their influence in daily life. Distance doesn‘t matter.
- Comment on Capcom says it 'will not implement assets generated by AI into our game content,' but still plans to use AI to 'enhance efficiency and boost productivity' in game development 1 week ago:
They will use placeholders but none of these things will male them considerably more productive, I think. They use LLMs because managers got FOMO.
- Comment on To make video games for Gen Z, be authentic 1 week ago:
Sure but „GenZ!!!111oneleven“ in the title generates more clicks.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
We‘re getting Minecraft Dungeons II before we‘re getting Minecraft 2.
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 1 week ago:
Playing Minecraft multiplayer in 2010 blew me off my socks and I will never experience anything as intense as that, video game wise.

Paying $14.99/month to Zucciberg corp isn‘t that much different than paying it to Edolph.
- Comment on So what's your take on Pokopia? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe I‘ll wait for the PC release to go on sale. Yeah, I know.
- Comment on ShitpostID: 4185519047 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but you still bought the blue checkmark, though.
- Comment on NVIDIA Says You're "Completely Wrong" About DLSS 5 Being Slop - Gamers Nexus 2 weeks ago:
There‘s also the concept of swarm intelligence in that a lot of people can beat for example a chess grandmaster by democratically voting for each move. This isn‘t super consistent but it happens. Of course tech CEOs claim AI is exactly that but it isn‘t. It doesn‘t make choices like a thousand people in a chess match do. It just rolls a dice and then does some math.
What I‘m trying to say is if 99% of potential costumers says it‘s crap, then it‘s a really really tough sell. To put it mildly. And the backlash from DLSS5 has been huge across the internet.
- Comment on NVIDIA Says You're "Completely Wrong" About DLSS 5 Being Slop - Gamers Nexus 2 weeks ago:
For me the silver lining is that only devs who are absolute hacks and produce overpriced crap would use this. I don‘t buy their games now and I won‘t buy their slop tomorrow. Personally I don‘t think it will be hard to dodge this for a very, very long time. The hardware to run this is unaffordable and development cycles are huge. This tech could be retro before I have to actually start maneuvering around it.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 2 weeks ago:
Right? Todd couldn‘t make a decent game anymore, let alone a decent looking game if his life depended on it. It‘s no surprise he embraces slop. He‘s exactly the type of guy to believe the hype.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 2 weeks ago:
To be fair who has two 5090s laying around to use this crap? This isn‘t so much a „generation behind“ thing and more of a „overpriced luxury toy for the top .01%“. There is no market for this. It‘s all smoke and mirrors.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 2 weeks ago:
„No, no! You‘re wrong because…“
And then this charlatan goes on to explain why we‘re right. It‘s exhausting to listen to these gilded clowns.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 weeks ago:
It will be cloud subscription based too but you will need a 6090 anyway. 🤑
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 weeks ago:
Nvidia would probably tell you to let your two 5090s constantly run the tool so it can change the Steam storefront and every trailer on Youtube too! In fact let it change how you watch movies with DLSS6! Coming soon™️. I wish I was exaggerating but I can totally imagine them saying this.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 weeks ago:
The absolute tone deafness of the AI industry man. Everything about this is terrible. From destroying artistic intent, over making everything look slop to being insanely resource hungry in this economy. There is everything to hate about this. The house of cards can‘t collapse soon enough.
- Comment on "Palworld is going to be the survival crafting game everyone always wanted" and "people will be shocked" at how big 1.0 is, says Pocketpair publishing lead 2 weeks ago:
I was planning on starting a new world once 1.0 drops and was worried how big this update will be. This gives me some confidence. I really like what they have done so far and can‘t wait to see how they‘ll wrap it up.
- Comment on The RAM crisis could completely change how developers make video games 2 weeks ago:
Could? Should. This is obvious. Only AAA execs don‘t realize it yet because they think cloud gaming will come to the rescue and be adapted on a major scale any minute. I am less optimistic. For AAA that is. This is the year of indie games… again.
- Comment on Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' 2 weeks ago:
Studios like Fromsoft are known for recycling assets to a very noticeable degree. It‘s just part of the game and another reason why AI makes so little sense in the creative world. Studios already have their asset libraries. They don‘t need to prompt something that already exists because they already have it. What they need are new ideas and AI is terrible at delivering that.
- Comment on Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor" 3 weeks ago:
Not every work can be translated into other languages very well. That‘s just a problem with cultural differences. I think writers should keep that in mind when they work on a global IP. Know your audience and all that.
Other times it really isn‘t as important as some writers may think. You don‘t need to know about Wukong to enjoy Dragon Ball for example. A lot of ideas are universal even if they don‘t sound as clever after being localized.
- Comment on Highly recommend this and can confirm that it works 3 weeks ago:
The good thing about tea is that you can drink it at work.
The good thing about whiskey is that it looks like tea.
- Comment on Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs 3 weeks ago:
over 1000 companies are also suing the US government
I think it‘s past 2000 at this point and growing. This is huge.
- Comment on Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file 4 weeks ago:
It‘s more like some business partner keeps hiding pages of personal information of customers in the work they submit to you. Then someone finds out you have all that information and now it‘s your job to clean up the mess. If you have friends like Discord you don‘t need enemies.
- Comment on Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file 4 weeks ago:
Lmao. A game accidentally receiving your Discord DMs and credentials if you sent a crash report just because game devs integrated basic Discord functionality is insane. But kind of what you have to expect from Discord and why I’ll never enable Discord integration.
