• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Dying Light, the zombie parkour game was also good and had great movement mechanics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One-handed games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they can play Brothers A Tale Of Two Sons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta: “We're Still Investing Massively In VR Gaming And Don't Plan To Stop”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are so many people using WhatsApp that have to share their contacts with them to get a remotely usable UI that I’m certain that you’re correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved Titanfall 1 so much. Titanfall 2’s campaign was absolutely fantastic but I didn’t get on with the multiplayer so much.

  I actually think that was a “me problem” rather than a problem with the game. I think that I had just had enough of multiplayer shooters as I’ve not played one since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got stuck on it and then stopped playing for so long that I feel that I need to start again. I do intend to start it again if I ever get the time to put into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I felt that Portal 2’s difficulty curve was a little off but was perfect other than that. It was too easy for most of the game and then ramped up to what I consider to be a good difficulty level later on.

  The two player portion was fantastic though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another one that shouldn’t be allowed but is are the unlimited* plans where the * indicates that it’s not really unlimited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL it's impossible to delete a free trial account for AppleTv+ or Apple Music without an Apple Device⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They want to delete the account that they presumably set up just to try Apple TV+

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences German humor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The heated rear window one and the doubling its value one were jokes that we used to make about Skodas before they got good.

  Also, what do you call a Skoda with a sunroof? A skip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its like if Samsung would remotely lock your TV making you unable to turn it on again because they stopped “supporting” it.

  Didn’t Sonos do that with old speakers? I don’t think that it went down well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canva charges you to make a circle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Visio is similar in that the lowest plan doesn’t let you use many of the built in shapes.

  You can add them yourself as images but loads of useful shapes for a network diagram, for example, are missing making it very inconvenient to use (I’m now using draw.io).

  I can understand limiting certain functionality (like only having a web UI) but not making basic tasks unnecessarily difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you save, we will charge you more⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not really what it’s saying.

  It’s saying if they sell less power then the cost per unit of power goes up. This is how all businesses work due to economies of scale. If you sell a lot of stuff then you can sell the stuff for less money and still make more money.

  If you personally use less power then that won’t increase your price per unit enough to offset the savings you made by using less power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mildly McInfuriating⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The two inflation calculators that I found said that a dollar in 2014 should be worth $1.33 in 2025. That’s significantly lower than the lowest price increase in this infographic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vomit-inducing article about Jeff Bezos’s obscene wealth⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eventually, Koru was towed away without her masts, which were later assembled.

  It’s bonkers that this was an option but they still intended to dismantle the bridge instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great except every delivery estimate at every point said Friday, November 22⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I ordered a laptop the other week. It was a rush job because the previous one was unusable so I selected a model that had next day delivery.

  I got an email at about 8.30pm that day saying that they’d dispatched it early! They’d have struggled to have got it to me next day if you’d dispatched it any later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you draw a perfect circle?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It didn’t take long but they have fixed that now. You can’t do a dot as you have to draw a circle around the dot they have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inn english their our know rules,⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random Screenshots of my Games #22 - Little Nightmares⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That bed is a Murphy bed that folds up into that cabinet at the head of the bed. The straps aren’t to hold a person in place, they hold the mattress and bedding in place when it’s packed away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pay us, or let us sell your info to 1200 partners⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always find the statement “we care about your privacy” to be a bit meaningless when they then say that they’ll share data with 100s of partners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lowest bidder quality⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I’m thinking. The homeowner installed it to fake meeting code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jedi Survivor could have been great⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right about the glowy baseball bats but I think that Jedi combat is a tough one to pull off well. You can force pull any of the lower enemies into a one shot with the light sabre as it is and there’s no reason that you shouldn’t be able to do that with all human sized enemies that aren’t force users except that it would make for a dull game.

  The loot is shit but I don’t know what more a Jedi needs other than armour or blasters but they don’t really use them. It is very weird that I had to find something in a box for me to get the idea to not shave my beard so close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite racing games?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wipeout 2048 was my favourite of all time and is available in the Wipeout Omega Collection. I wouldn’t say that it’s better than the more recent titles but it was just the one that grabbed me.

  I also really liked:

  • Dirt Rally was ace on the PSVR
  • Burnout Paradise
  • Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the second one)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite controller?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I played games on my PC I ended up spending more time configuring my Steam controller than I did playing the game.

  A classic example of perfect being the enemy of good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see the problem with this search result. You searched for Lemmy clients and the first link gives a list of Lemmy clients for Android. It happens to be on Reddit but it does match your search.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I remember a time where you would get multiple results from a search with no scrolling⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but their edit says that it shouldn’t take so long to get to IMDB which is what I was commenting on.

  The fact that there is only one result is awful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I remember a time where you would get multiple results from a search with no scrolling⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s Amazon’s way of working. They push the content that they want you to use over what you want to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I remember a time where you would get multiple results from a search with no scrolling⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In fairness, IMDB is right there on the first info card.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m like that too. I can’t think or move fast enough for RTS but don’t have the patience for really thinking things through in turn based games.

  Maybe the in between would be turn based with a time limit per turn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨end your free trial⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that you had an agreement that specified how you were to cancel the contract.

  It’s not really a good idea to just stop paying companies that you have an agreement with because you could get reported as a non-payer which could affect your credit rating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not be taking questions.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had many cats and have never had a problem with them grabbing the toilet paper.
