- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 23 hours ago:
bigoted reviews posted on games’ Steam pages, which can hugely affect sales for their developers; and Steam curators (self-appointed taste-makers on the platform) directing campaigns against games they perceive to lean left or pursue inclusion.
This fucking shit again. Reviews affect sales? Well, good. You don’t get to carefully select a few most-read outlets who’ll give you the thumb up. Also, chud curators are “directing” only those who follow them. This argument is about a failing industry that’d like to control what can be said about their products.

I’m gonna be there for director’s cut in 2029, up to 20€.

- Comment on Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value' 6 days ago:
Remedy’s cooked, though I like their games enough that I’ll gladly pay up to 25€ a year after it’s out for a single-player experience with no need for an online connection and no added live service “value”, also provided it doesn’t come with denuvo.
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 2 weeks ago:
You can objectively measure it by asking a person playing for a fixed amount of time how much time has passed and measuring the discrepancy. Games that lately immersed me the most are Intravenous (1/2) and Riftbreaker.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 2 weeks ago:
That’s true, but it’s also a pain in the ass compared to Steam, was my point. I can click on Dishonored and have it ready in 15 minutes while I make coffee, or I can download like
Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 1 of 5) 2 MB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 2 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 3 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 4 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 5 of 5) 2.4 GB
and then install it by hand, after which I have double its size in used diskspace and have to delete those files.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 2 weeks ago:
Not having a launcher is my requirement to buy a game lol
Good luck with that. I need it because I’ve fiddled with my screwdriver adjusting the cassette head position to load Scuba Diver on ZX Spectrum too many times.

Fuck right off

Sektori, it’s the best game I’ve played in a long time.

“cinematic announcement”
Wow, it’s fucking nothing
- Comment on The best games of 2025, picked by NPR's staff 2 months ago:
It saddens me that Sektori came out too late to be on these lists, because they are effective marketing for indies and it’s one of the finest games ever made. It works flawlessly, is Linux friendly and is polished to a shine. It’s very opinionated design, but the opinions are in my opinion all correct and the overall game is a wonderful sequel to Geometry Wars. The only thing it’s missing right now is 2-player (at least) coop.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 2 months ago:
It does make sense, because I’ll boycott nearly all future productions.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
That’s another problem, even if we disregard optimizations, AAA games from 2015. look better than modern upscaled stuff, Unreal Engine seems to be so easy enough to use nowadays that big vertically-integrated slop publishers replaced seasoned developers with the cheapest of zoomers.

With proton it finally does.

- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 3 months ago:
Sure, it’s a forever brand, can’t wait for it to be forever shelved after someone buys it as a piece of Ubisoft’s corpse.
- Comment on Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year 4 months ago:
AC is so moldy Ubisoft could only get excited with a nice big Grow Home / Up sequel with no microtransactions, no ingame shop and everything unlockable through playing.
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 4 months ago:
I would never give Microsoft money for their shitty subscription, so it is kind of fun for me.
- Comment on New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars" 4 months ago:
Valve does nothing
It’s not Valve’s job to provide a liberal education and loving community for the young’uns, the only thing Valve can do is censor discussions and ban people for what they are saying. Like tiktok is doing with “Israel is controlling the U.S. through AIPAC”.

I will be playing Silksong until the winter sale, but I can recommend this for the sale price that they’re asking (0.75€ at the moment).
- Comment on Xbox invests big into indies, signs Game Pass deals with over 50 studios 4 months ago:
Whose employees then go and make new companies, marketing its first game as “by the makers of X” and MS is left holding IP of dubious worth and their dick in their hands.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 5 months ago:
The big problem is how to make it fun for those who are not spave nerds. They are making a game for hundreds of thousands of players with a budget of a game for tens of millions. They are getting funded for a feline-shaped bag, once it’s out chances are it’ll be so aggressive, mangy and moody no one will want to play with it. Aiming at a reticle projecting where the enemy will be when the shots land for 30 hours with occassional explanations by hollywood b-listers is not everyone’s cup of space tea.
- Comment on Dying Light continues celebrating its 10th anniversary with a big graphical facelift, but don't you dare call it a remaster 5 months ago:
Let’s just throw higher res textures at every 3D game that works good on Steam Deck until it’s unplayable. Days Gone used to be locked 48FPS for me and it’s pretty fucked these days and it looks a tiny bit better to a tiny bit worse depending on how dark you tolerate your night.
Please note Techland, I’ll just change my review to negative and uninstall your game forever if it works any worse or sparks any less joy than the version you haven’t fucked.

- Comment on Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it's pretty huge 5 months ago:
I wouldn’t give Microsoft any money if they were selling last drops of oxygen on Earth, not fucking video games

You should have asked an employee instead.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 5 months ago:
By all means, every increase in price is welcome, it’ll be that much less of a temptation. How are Concord and Fairgames doing?
