And enjoyers of Indy games…my steam list gets longer and longer and is nearly all Indy,A or AA games.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 6 days ago:
Put 10 random people in a competitive cage where errors on minute 5 can snowball to a loss on minute 50 and you will get this all the time.
Bonus: give them access to a keyboard and a game speed to slack off.

Not during the time DemS, DaS became big. This was the days of EA/Ubisoft frictionless vomit. BG2 was 10+ years old, Diablo 3 had it’s “exceptional” storytelling.

The US has amazing nature. I wanted to do the Appalachian trail, but current visa reqs stop me from ever going to the USA. :(

Are you this harsh with food and hardware from companies?

Aceslip is a triple star human, rescues kittens and kids by day, firefighters in the night and all without getting payed.
- Comment on Videogame pirates tell other pirates to shut up about it after Subnautica 2 developers are taunted with illicit copies 2 weeks ago:
I pirated a game ~ 6 years ago, kept it in an external hard drive, never player it. Bought it on Steam and played it. I still have the pirated copy somewhere in the depths of my external. It really was the most space taking wishlist entry.
- Comment on So Lemmy, what are your thoughts on Mixtape? 2 weeks ago:
I accept “virtual experience” as games, but I will judge them in comparison. If a game like ICEY is a 8/10 3-4h game, than something mixtape will be 5 to 6.
- Comment on “You are the most hated demographic at game events.” A major Japanese indie game showcase is waging war on “unsolicited advice dudes” 3 weeks ago:
Day9 has nice talk about giving good feedback, and commands or commands hidden as rhetorical question are not one of them.
The right feedback would be something like: "Oh, this confused me. I did not expect the cliff edge to be the goal.
Not more, because you don’t know the intended. Maybe the dev wanted you to be confused or you were one of ten people to not go down the cliff.
Describe your experience and your expectations, not a solution to something that might not be a problem.
- Comment on Why are Steam games priced unfairly in Euros indifferent to where one resides? 5 weeks ago:
Companies are not allowed to not sell to other EU members. A polish company is allowed to sell in Germany, and a German buyer is allowed to buy from polish Companies without being unfair treated.
- Comment on How long until the rise of games with mods turns into user created games. 1 month ago:
I remember that Microsoft “sandbox” dev environment. That went nowhere.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
They did strong changes to music and visual design - a lot more than preservation, mucj closer to “Who shot first?” in Star Ward.
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 3 months ago:
You describe while I can play Diabolo II hardcore, but get bored of ‘rogue-lites’ that have 30min or 1h loops.
You can always do solo self found for the “true” challange or do selffound for different experience.
The character is only reliant on itself and the stuff you find/farm. The “side-grade” comes from finding build-enabling uniques.
- Comment on As player numbers fall, Highguard makes the actually-quite-good 5v5 mode permanent 3 months ago:
Highguard has an art style that is primarily concerned with selling cosmetics instead of delivering a hopefully unique vision.
Highguard, Finals, and many more have this “everything goes” therefore nothing matters style.
It’s a call sign, that Deadlocks beta-design on old heroes has more vision.
It although shows, that hero shooters are not at the end possibilities.
- Comment on 'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN 3 months ago:
A friend of mine does this monthly. He has invested more time in MW than my group of friends in FO4 and Starfield.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 director agrees with No Rest for the Wicked lead that Early Access is "a positive thing" for games like their two RPGs – when it works 3 months ago:
“when it works” does a lot of heavy lifting. Like “too much” it describe post-action moment.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 4 months ago:
I expected a really bad take, but this is not it. HL2 has strength, but the story is not it. It’s okay, but I want you to remember that the ending of HL2 is just not good - neither to ‘boss fight’ nor the deus ex machina ending.
Even the gameplay gets boring when you have the “op” gravity gun.
I prefer HL1 to HL2. The physics riddles are not hard either and I think Stratholm is only “horror” for people with no xp in Survival Horror games.

- Comment on The Knightling Did Everything Right - It Still Struggled to Sell | Beyond the Pixels Podcast 5 months ago:
99.9% of all games are useless to an individual, whem steam can get 10% correct, when you do close to no cooperation, this is an achievement.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 5 months ago:
The question is, if having better for-loop completion the same as “create this feature”.
- Comment on What free to play games can run smoothly on my old laptop? 5 months ago:
I would take a look at Warframe.

I like the gameplay and it ran on every hardware.
- Comment on Where do you all get your (indie) gaming news from? 5 months ago:
Comment section of AA or AAA gaming news in r/games or r/pcgaming
I have a good track record with
“if you are interested in past AAA game like X, look at small y” comments from “decently acting” users
- Comment on 'It's not a clone of D:OS2': 6 big takeaways from our interview with Larian after the reveal of Divinity 5 months ago:
Yes cursed grounds was such an awful experience. I actually like the ground effect combat otherwise, in DS1 and 2.
Source Points have phoenix feather effect.
- Comment on Elder Scrolls Online devs detail “inhumane” Microsoft layoffs as Xbox expects the “carcass of workers” to “keep shipping award-winning games” 10 months ago:
Longterm is for suckers - nu management is fast and loose - they break things - preferable good work environment.
- Comment on Might be time to find another job 11 months ago:
We have to label things so they can gwt eaten. We literally have a “this is communist milk, it’s for everyone”.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 11 months ago:
My first question: Did they change the gun play?
Because that feeling I got from OW gun play was “spammy, unsatisfying, boring” either in kill time, movement or timing.
The weapons are simple, but you don’t get the arena gameplay of map control, ammunition control and weapon cycling of arena shooters.
A single weapon is not complex to use as a weapon in CS or DirtyBomb.
To be honest Dirty bomb does health and ammo management better.
Everything I hear sounds good, but I never heared them fixing guna.
- Comment on Gachapwned: How gacha MMOs drown us in progression and randomness | Massively Overpowered 11 months ago:
Diablo 1 is at fault - and Diablo 2 the first kingpin. Even without progression tabs people were grinding and hoping for the High rune.
What’s kinda funny is thw fact buying progression (i.e. Items and runes) on thoses ‘illegal’ sites was more reasonable in price.
The only danger the current iteration of f2p games has, is the graphical fidelity.
In other aspects premium games are still better. We just need to teach the new generation, that there is more than f2p.
- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 1 year ago:
Doing Edge of Tomorrow style Progression where one actor plays different classes and steadily progresses could be an option. Explore the world from a changing perspective.
- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 1 year ago:
Didnt the John Wick movies usee the role effect? Using this one to introduce the dodge role would be funny.
- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 1 year ago:
The Hoper Mario is something - it’s so off the rails, that it’s crusing on anothet track.
