  Ah maybe I’ll sign up when I’m back from summer vacation in a few weeks. Zero worries. I’d rather wait for a good game than play a medium one now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPDATE: I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title appeared on another Steam game as they plan to release before I do.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw man, stoked to hear it! What a lovely resolution. Looking forward to your game coming out, been seeing it for a little while now and it looks right up my alley

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me just say your game looks awesome and I look forward to its release.

  I think you should report it to steam, you’ve surely had a page with that name for longer. I wouldn’t change your game name now

  I get where you’re coming from, but the most recent RE game is fucking fantastic. So something about what they’re doing is working

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I come from a decade of high flexibility and autonomy. I now have a boss who basically breathes down my neck until the moment i need help, then is a ghost.

  The “you have to be sitting at your desk the whole day, every day” thing is fucking insane. I can’t believe how much I dislike this job because of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is unimpressed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lotta runestones too! Nowhere near as old nor impresssive as the pyramids though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Nobody's making games for the retired people" – The growing yet underserved market for grey gamers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man my older father would love some games made for him. He plays Animal Crossing like every day still, 6+ years on. I hope for more chill games with lots to do

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally agree. It has a LOT of problems obviously. But what an ambitious game for the time, even if it’s collectathony as heck.

  So many levels, characters, skills. Why, I dare say it’s a perfect randomizer game ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any good indie games on steam? Can be any genre.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Death Howl is so cool, +1 to that

  I stole this comment but

  The difference between “fuck those kids” and"fuck those kids"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨power generator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s a super rad tech! A bit pricey but a neat renewable that almost generates opposite to solar in a way, in that if it’s raining you’re getting some energy in the form of fresh water

  Can you ELI10 an intuitive explanation on why the salinity gradient provides energy? It doesn’t make intuitive sense to me and never has. Like why is fresh water mixing with salt water energy positive?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨power generator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m known to lather a bit, as a treat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨power generator⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m an EE by schooling and I’ve worked in both gas turbine and wind power. Photovoltaics blow my fucking mind. Everything else is just spinning magnets to extract power. PVs are insanely cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nancy Takes Out a Loan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I’m well aware. I just wanted to get more people to see the other loss in the Source spoiler

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nancy Takes Out a Loan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very nice source. Thanks for citing it and giving the author credit

  According to the wiki, she chose her stage name after her dog Mia and her favorite rapper, Wiz

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like the financial people at Microsoft are tired of taking “but it’s the future!” As an end all be all answer.

  Between this and copilot switching to token based billing, they’re the first company to seem to really be looking at how bad the financials are

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It kinda means (to me, a layman) that the accidentals are little but the angry is big

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shapez 2 - 1.0 Launch Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And the SCALE of it. It even makes my group Factorio Space Age server feel small, and that’s 14k promethium SPM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shapez 2 - 1.0 Launch Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I played a ton of pre-1.0. It’s SO good. What an astronomical leap from Shapez 1.

  I’m stoked to dig into 1.0 of the sequel, the new mode looks cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Every other company could challenge Steam, but instead is enshittified within an inch of its life from the get-go. It’s as much that Steam is doing so much right as it is that competitors are doing so much wrong.

  Not you, GOG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I love the lore and atmosphere, fun in archipelago for randomizing, i like the campaign and co-op modes a lot. But since I won’t give blizzard any money it’s nice that they just gave up on the IP for whatever reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US especially. It could be a cardboard box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since it’s a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren’t related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can.

  For example, in the U.S., they’ll receive paid coverage for 6 months. We’ll also accelerate their stock options vesting through January 2027 and extend equity exercise options for up to two years.

  As much as I hate Epic, those are both better paragraphs than I expected. I feel for the people getting laid off, hopefully they land on their feet
