- Comment on What happened to the creator of Gunman Chronicles, Valve's forgotten FPS? 'My relationship with Gabe didn't really go that great' 13 hours ago:
I watched some videos of it and it looked really dated and I lost interest haha. I bet having nostalgia for this is probably required.

Good article, I just wish it would say why the game still isn’t available. I never played this game but went down a little rabbit hole looking for it and ET: Quake Wars and it’s insane the hoops you have to jump through to play these games that used to sell. I still hope to jump through those hoops one day and try it out.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 5 days ago:
The short version is 2 reasons:
- Microsoft requires Windows 11 computers to have special new hardware that not all computers have. Security updates for Windows 10 ends in 3 months. Many people are faced with a choice of buying a new computer, or installing Linux on their current one to save money. Others realize how much Windows 11 sucks shit and switch because Linux is better.
- Gaming on Linux has gotten a lot better recently. For many people, this was the main thing holding them back. Software support in general is better than ever.

wtf I didn’t know Jubert and Prunty were on this joint!
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 week ago:
I’ve noticed this too. I’ve given up on it and instruct others to look for programs in the start menu alphabetically instead of searching because even that is bad. Same with Outlook searches, I instruct people to use webmail because the searching works there.
- Comment on A Bubble Bobble roguelike? Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons announced for PS5, Switch, and PC 1 week ago:
Oh man this looks like the original NES Bubble Bobble which I loved! I even hear the same theme song! I hope this will be good because I can’t resist buying it!
- Comment on New Nuclear Throne beta build adds 60/120FPS support and quality of life features 1 week ago:
Holy shit I just reinstalled, the new beta is great! For Linux players, make sure you force proton compatibility or else it’ll run the native Linux build which is not the beta. This beta has high FPS and properly locks the mouse into the window!
- Comment on Why is Jordan Peterson both a Christian and not a Christian? 4 weeks ago:
The funny thing is that these are the people that say college is a waste of time. Could you imagine if you or your kids were a student of this guy? I’d sue to get my tuition and lost time back.
- Comment on Why is Jordan Peterson both a Christian and not a Christian? 4 weeks ago:
He’ll never answer any question because it’s an easy way to avoid being pinned down on any position, which makes him immune to all criticism (in his eyes).
- Comment on Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they gave you pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ? 4 weeks ago:
You know he does ketamine, right? The drug that makes you feel like you’re not yourself but someone else instead?
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 1 month ago:
I’m avoiding it because it just doesn’t look that fun. I played the last 2 new dooms and they were good, for console shooters. More PC gamers should have higher standards than this. I don’t want a dumb story about medieval times, collecting dolls, linear maps, cyberdragon mounts, running from arena to arena and then starting repetitive wave fights. Just make a good shooter please!
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 month ago:
I don’t like the Epic Game Store because Epic has turned it’s back on Linux. Their client doesn’t run on Linux which is where I do all my gaming. I also recognize the economic fuckery they’re doing to gain popularity. They’re spending their Fortnite war chest money on subsidizing games to give them away for the purpose of monopolizing their game store. It’s not fair for other game stores like GOG who can’t just buy game licenses for everyone to become popular.
I hate console gamers as they’ve perverted the FPS genre.
- Comment on Loving Doom The Dark Ages, only one issue I've had so far. 1 month ago:
For others reading, Hulshult is also great! These other soundtracks aren’t as iconic as Doom but still absolute bangers.
- Comment on Loving Doom The Dark Ages, only one issue I've had so far. 1 month ago:
I heard Mick Gordon was fucked over by Bethesda where they had someone else finish the music that Mick started. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mick wasn’t involved in this one. I’m not buying this Doom because it looks bad. Bethesda sucks.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 1 month ago:
Sounds like you already have one. Samsung phones are pretty bad though.

It’s the game that made me like these kinds of games. 1,300 hours :)
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 2 months ago:
FTL: Faster Than Light
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 2 months ago:
I made a rule that I can’t spend over $10 on a game until I’ve played through my entire backlog. I haven’t bought a game over $10 in 10 years and I’ve spent $6k on Steam since I started using it.

Woo $6k!

Anyone else think she was named Raylin because it was railin’ her mom that created her?
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 3 months ago:
I know they’re not for everyone, but Smart Cars are actually devoid of Smart as in IOT. If you’re not huge, get in one and try it out. I have a gas one and it’s my favorite car ever, and I last drove a Porsche Boxter. They’re fast enough, sip gas (or electricity I’m sure) and are so easy to drive. The turning radius is like 90 degrees and it’s so nice having the front of the car stop where your feet are instead of a giant protruding hood. They’re very cheap too and they’re made by Mercedes so it’s easy enough to get them worked on.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 3 months ago:
Starcraft! I really think Starcraft Brood War is a better, more balanced game. The quality of life changes in Starcraft 2 make it so hard to go back to playing Brood War. I don’t know if I can adjust back to only selecting a lot amount of units or needing to click on each building to build stuff or not having smart-casting and good pathing.

The nice thing about Free software is that distros can fix these programs that store things in the wrong location. My Debian home is a lot cleaner than my Arch.

Hah that Konsole theme is sick as fuck, wp my dude!

Dude play Black Mesa! It’s a modern remake of the original Half Life but with a new and improved Xen at the end. I played Opposing Force and Blue Shift back in the day but barely remember them. I’d love to replay those games.
