well, TIL. I thought it was more recent than that. Their quality has been steadily decreasing for quite some time, and I always blamed that acquisition.
- Comment on Ars Technica’s Top 20 video games of 2025 5 days ago:
They used to be good but have greatly enshittified since being acquired by Condé Nast. I’ve been an Ars reader for almost 15 years, until last year. I don’t even bother going there anymore.
- Comment on Ars Technica’s Top 20 video games of 2025 5 days ago:
since they’ve been acquired by Condé Nast, Ars has been almost thoroughly enshittified, this list (and almost everything else they publish nowadays) was created to appease their corporate overlords.

I feel you, I’m in the same boat
it would be cool if there was something like the Game Boy Magnifier for those modern systems
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
How often do people leave reviews?
Speaking only for myself, I only leave a review if I loved or I hated a game. A “meh” game doesn’t get a review. I’d hazard that many people do something similar.
- Comment on If you want to get into handheld gaming, but don't want to spend a lot, buy one of these. 3 weeks ago:
I kinda agree with you. I don’t use retro achievements because I’m an obsessed completionist. That means that I’d keep playing one game well beyond the point it stopped being fun just to tick all those boxes.

Games that don’t allow you to pause and skip cutscenes.
This is the main reason I cannot replay Valkyrie Profile
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 1 month ago:
It’s an fantastic game, as other have already told you. But I’d like to add that there’s a randomizer for it and this basically adds almost infinite replay value (at least for me!)
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 1 month ago:
It’s a little old and more Metroid- than -vania: A Robot Named Fight
- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 1 month ago:
even though Xbox figured out asymmetric was better back in 2001
MS did the asymmetric layout to avoid patents that existed on previous Sony controllers… they weren’t trying to innovate or anything like that
- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 1 month ago:
There is something else you forgot, Steam has a library with thousands of games. More games than most console’s entire libraries combined.
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 1 month ago:
I’ve got it working but, unfortunately, when wireless the controller has unacceptable input lag. Might be something interfering with the bluetooth signal, I don’t know.

Poem for your sprog
I’ve seen someone who took that username here in Lemmy, but that could be anyone, no guarantee that it was the same guy/gal on reddit
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 1 month ago:
The regular PS4 controller works fine. Works well in steam, lutris, retroarch and the few native games I own, never had any (unsolvable) problems with it.

the patent system is based on a “first to file the paperwork” basis

- Comment on Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide 7 months ago:
and quite frankly the symmetrical stick placement is uncomfortable and outdated by nearly 20 years
sorry but I have to disagree, it’s so much more comfortable than the mismatched sticks other controllers have
fuck Sony BTW, they patented said symmetrical stick placement and the world is worse off because of this
