Very disappointing. They delayed the game for a few weeks and then for 5 months. How did anyone think the November date could be achieved?
Guess I’ll look for a community updated database for this year.
- Comment on Grasshopper CEO Suda51 says people ‘care too much’ about Metacritic scores 2 months ago:
Well if I only have time to play a game a month, I’m not gonna play a 6/10 game. I’m not saying to blindly trust metacritic but when you seldom play games you need to filter them aggressively somehow.

Here they are discounted a lot, very often in the 40 euro range (new)
- Comment on Close call 3 months ago:
But 5 bucks discount is nothing, you can get so much better in other venues.

In Portugal we have a couple of these stores but I really don’t understand how they stay alive. I went there once with a sealed 60 euro, recent, game for a console I didn’t down. They offered me 15 euros and were selling used copies for 55 euros. Why on earth would I buy or sell for those prices?

The main problem is the amount of REALLY bad games. It’s very hard to find decent games, most of them are intentionally unplayable garbage.

I fear becoming that guy, can you call me out if I do? Cheers.

It’s hard for me to believe that hunter / food seeker isn’t the oldest profession… But it’s definitely up there.

You misunderstood the sign. You just can’t smoke the dog. The dog can do whatever the hell it wants.

Does it have to be a new discovery to qualify as “science”?
- Comment on How do you search for honest product recommendations? 6 months ago:
That’s a very neat idea, to be honest. I hadn’t thought of that!
- Comment on How do you search for honest product recommendations? 6 months ago:
Unfortunately this doesn’t work in Portugal. Most sales people don’t have any sort of training in the products they sell and they are heavily pressured into selling services rather than products. Your budget is 200 euros? They’re going to try to suggest you a 100 euros product and then try to get you to buy extended warranty and/or insurance.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely start asking there!
- Comment on How do you search for honest product recommendations? 6 months ago:
The mechanical keyboard topic was just an example. Because I’m kinda into mechanical keyboards, I can instantly spot the obviously bad recommendations. If the topic was something like microphones or washing machines, I’d be toast.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 7 months ago:
I don’t know how you read my comment and concluded that I approve racism or homofobia. It’s these kind of comments that push people away.
Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat. You can’t insult people into your way. No one wants to have a conversation with you when you just randomly accuse them of homofobia. In your future attempt try going easier and with baby steps. People are more likely to stop eating meat if they take it one step at a time. This ridiculous expectation that someone must change their lifestyle over night or they’re racists… This isn’t the way, statistically speaking. But alas, this is a pointless discussion because you already know and just to fight with a stranger. Have a nice day.

This is not how you get people to join your ideas, this is how you push them away further.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 7 months ago:
That would be the nice and fair thing to do… However people are often happy with just a pat in the back so that’s what they get.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 7 months ago:
I worked on one of the largest Portuguese tech companies, it was kinda dependent on the business area. In the telcos department I barely had to do any overtime. My colleagues in the banking department, however, wouldn’t ever see the light of day. They arrived before sunrise and left long after sunfall. Projects were submitted at a loss to in the hope of netting future projects. Developers were supposed to work overtime to compensate this… If you refused to work overtime your carreer would have and at that company.
- Comment on Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button? 11 months ago:
The cost of making a new request for the rest of the news is higher than just returning the full news. The only use case where this makes sense is where news are behind a paywall and you just want to show a teaser to Anonymous readers.

Fat shaming is such a bad analogy, I wouldn’t dream to mock someone for their body.
Mocking someone for the factually wrong “theory” they scientifically disproved themselves… That’s fair game.

Not sure how you get this price from, they list it as 8.50 euros a month for me
