Typical RPS.

It’s bizarre they haven’t shut down this .ru domain.

Why is this coming from a Russian site?

Because the Game Awards hates indie games.

- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 1 week ago:
So do mega-corporations with more money than God, like Microsoft.
And they already said no to root-level anti-cheats.

That’s just a wild fantasy that will never happen.
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 3 weeks ago:
One of my all-time favorites. If you don’t like horror games, don’t let that stop you. It’s too important a story to pass up, and worse-case, you can turn off some of the scary elements of the game. It’s really a sci-fi masterpiece first, and a horror game second.

Portal 2 has, hands-down, the most hilariously-written dialogue I have ever seen in a video game. That alone is worth playing the game, but it’s also a fun puzzle game to boot.

The game throws big bosses at you at a time when you won’t have range weapons, and expects you to dodge these big sweeping attacks that would be more appropriate fighting with ranged weapons. And by the time you get a ranged weapon, it’s too late, and they’ve raised the stakes again for future bosses to the point that having a ranged weapon isn’t even an advantage.
I was forced to reduce the difficulty just for the bosses. All of the other enemies were mostly fine.

Try playing Environmental Station Alpha. Super cutesy robot, absolutely unfair difficulty for a Metroidvania. Which is a shame, because there’s an interesting story and gameplay buried in that difficulty.

I thought the reward for the puzzles was not good enough, either. When you play Outer Wilds, you figure things out and unlock a wonderful story. When you play Tunic, you (eventually) figure things out and get a bad ending for a game that barely reveals anything, story-wise.
- Comment on 2k Launcher has been fully removed from all games 3 weeks ago:
Launchers allow you to change settings before having the game up, for example, which can be nice.
Or you can change options after the game launches, like a normal game.
- Comment on The world is ending but here's a side quest - will RPGs ever solve their urgency problem? 3 weeks ago:
Yes climate change might bring famine, destructive weather events, or plague but in the meantime we are living in the safest, healthiest, and most technologically advanced era of humanity up until now, especially for those of us living in democracies.
Don’t take your democracies for granted. If people aren’t around to fight to keep them that way, they don’t last.
- Comment on Young people were becoming more anxious long before social media, and we should not be fixated on simplistic explanations that reduce the issue to technical variables, researcher says 4 weeks ago:
The fact that you think that’s sarcasm is troubling.
Name a social problem, and I will tell you how it’s definitely and sanely-proven to be caused by capitalism.

It doesn’t help when you have to share the planet with people who have the same power as you and are half as intelligent, who actually enjoy getting fucked by capitalism.

- Comment on "EU-Linux:" Petition calls for the implementation of an EU-Linux operating system in public administrations across all EU countries 1 month ago:
Yeah, makes sense to North Korea, too. I’m not sure they’re an example to follow, though.
To be clear, nation states controlling the tools that their employees and, potentially, wider population communicate and access information is a dystopian vision, and I cannot agree with that point at all.
Wow, what a way to take the most extreme POV possible on an issue.
