You can‘t accuse corporations of murder!!! That‘s mean!!! Or something like that I suppose…
- Comment on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Director Says It Did Gay Romance "Right" By Not Going "Woke" 5 days ago:
Not very surprising. I remember one of the Warhorse head devs wearing a band shirt of a far right band while representing the studio and giving interviews. That caused quite a scandal in Germany‘s gaming community.
- Comment on Pickmon to Pickmos 1 week ago:
Competition is good for consumers. Well, most of the time. I welcome the current monster capture trend so as long as it‘s not f2p gacha slop.
- Comment on Please just stop 1 week ago:
I‘m fairly active on Twitch and must say this ‚problem‘ (if you can call it that) doesn‘t occur to me. May I suggest you get better taste in what you watch? The community reflects the Streamer after all.
- Comment on It seems that Valve is working on a "SteamGPT" feature that will apparently deal with Steam support issues and is somehow connected to Trust Score and CS2 anti-cheat 1 week ago:
You know this is totally on brand for Valve if you ever had the displeasure trying to reach out to their support.

Oh, I‘m less of a big guy and more of a big fan of your work.

- Comment on "Any update is a bonus not a right": Peak co-developer Landfall reminds impatient fans it's not a live-service studio 2 weeks ago:
It‘s sad really, because we always praise their efforts in our game group when another update drops. Like, we can barely fathom the devs still improving it and for that price!
It‘s baffling to hear other players have taken this gift from the devs as a free pass to criticize them endlessly. I guess they‘ve been spoiled too much? Seeing as the game is still sitting at a very good rating on Steam I guess it must be a tiny screaming minority.
Anyway, imagine how these players would react when the devs drop a banger DLC for 5 bucks. You would never hear the end of it.
- Comment on "Any update is a bonus not a right": Peak co-developer Landfall reminds impatient fans it's not a live-service studio 2 weeks ago:
I‘m always amazed by Peak‘s updates because they literally don‘t have to do it. Nobody is asking them to… except I now learn that some ungrateful players do, apparently. Like, I know it‘s not perfect and many of those QoL updates are deeply appreciated but for the price it was already a very good game. People need to learn to appreciate things. Seriously.
- Comment on We show you how NVIDIA RTX Remix can upgrade your classic games with Quake III - PAX East 2026 3 weeks 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 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

Only autocrats and fascist world leaders mind you.
- Comment on There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev 3 weeks 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) 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
Sure but „GenZ!!!111oneleven“ in the title generates more clicks.

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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe I‘ll wait for the PC release to go on sale. Yeah, I know.
- Comment on ShitpostID: 4185519047 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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.
