- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 17 hours ago:
afaik both are unenforceable since you can only read them after paying for the product.
- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 3 days ago:
Which is the point, the last time the UK protested in a big way people were brutall masacred by the government.
- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 1 week ago:
It always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.

Visual proofs can be deceptive, e.g. the infinite chocolate bar.
- Comment on Signatures skyrocket for Stop Killing Games campaign after big youtubers take up the cause, resulting in 100k signatures in 2 days. (Details on how to help in text body of post) 1 week ago:
Signed.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 3 weeks ago:
Chance as in gambling, so often you don’t even get what you pay for even with ‘reputable’ brands. This is particularly bad with appliances.
- Comment on Newsom Says Trump Is Destroying U.S. Democracy in Speech on L.A. Protests 4 weeks ago:
Humans don’t co-ordinate well in groups with more than 50 members, having a central figure to follow is useful for maintaining co-ordination and a clear message.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 4 weeks ago:
These days its incresingly ‘capitalism is when you pay money for the chance to have a thing’
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 5 weeks ago:
Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t it more just appreciating the small joys in life? If thats complicated enough that it has to be a whole philosiphy then I think we’re fucked as a species.
- Comment on Anyone else 5 weeks ago:
Nothing material on earth you can’t find everywhere else, the only things we have that aren’t incredibly plentiful elsewhere are earths unique biology and human culture. Both of which can also be obtained without us ever knowing about it. The only logical reason to invade is ideological so if we ever meet hostile aliens they’re either genocidal zealots or a bunch of sadists.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 5 weeks ago:
TLDR: UE5 can be optimized but Unreal also turned it into a bit of a tech demo for their new tech some of which can be counter productive at times.
- Comment on Anon reflects on a conundrum 1 month ago:
Helps if you angle the camera down slightly, actually funny story about AI… There was this site a few years ago that would give you a masculine/femanine score based on a selfie, I discovered all it was really checking was the angle of the face because men tend to take photos straight on and women know to take the photo with your face at an angle. (But NEVER an upward angle)
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 month ago:
Any trademarks they need because Nintendo have allegedly been filing new patents mid-lawsuit in order to justify suing palworld.
- Comment on Anon is a fighter 2 months ago:
Yeh what chimps got on humans is they go from zero to ripping your face off in 0 seconds flat, humans either require a lot of buildup to get that pissed or some kind of drug.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 2 months ago:
The company I work for recently tried to make a mobile game, being a fairly informal studio with many gamers on staff we made something more like a mini linear rpg than a typical mobile game. Testers loved it but the publisher said it was too complicated for mobile and cancelled on us.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 months ago:
Final Fantasy 7 has a lot of mini versions of this moment because the level art is rarely distinguished from the actual terrain you can interact with so sometimes you kinda get stuck until you realise that this time that little ramp is actually something your supposed to walk up rather than un-interactable scenery like all those previous times.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 - State of Play Deep Dive | PS5 Games 2 months ago:
There seems to be a lot more customization than in previous games so they’re probably going for a bit of a blank slate feel.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 2 months ago:
KSP1 also had 0 OG devs by the end so KSP2 was sort of doomed from the start.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 2 months ago:
Selection bias (which for the record means this is still a problem) the people who don’t discriminate aren’t causing harm so you don’t notice them but since they don’t speak up they aren’t helping either, so the jerks are still setting the tone. The solution is to not just do the right thing but actively call people out the jerks.
- Comment on Heat pumps to be sold ‘smart-ready’ in plans to save households money 2 months ago:
We also have an issue that much of our housing stock is really old and actually relies on leaks for propper air circulation, properly insulating these houses leads to damp and mold problems as OP mentioned. Huge swaths of housing in the UK are just fundementally unfit for purpose.
- Comment on Chocobo 2 months ago:
Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off. - Comment on Toblerone dark chocolate bar discontinued in the UK - BBC News 2 months ago:
Last time I had a toblerone it tasted like hersheys, no idea what they did to them.
- Comment on God is a dick. 2 months ago:
Its a combination of the speed of light and how inflation has varied the size of the universe. Light’s only been able to travel about 14 billion light years since the universe began but those further regions used to be closer so light from them was already part of the way here when they vanished over the cosmic horizon.
- Comment on Anon notices 2 months ago:
Considering the pagan festival christmas was intended to superscede was one of feasting and excess its kind of nice to see the opressor eaten alive from the inside.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 2 months ago:
People talk about getting filtered by fromsoft bosses but the goddamn driver tutorial was the hardest shit ever; especially since it used a lot of movie terms so if you weren’t really into american movies about cars half the stuff on the list was kind of gibberish.
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 months ago:
That’s not work? That’s common courtesy! You stay at someones house so you help out.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
Jumped to linux for a test on an old laptop, currently on windows on my main PC but got parts on the way for a new build that’s going to be Linux.
- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 3 months ago:
I feel like that one was also due to awful development practices, they had the whole scrapping the entire first 2 years of work thing due to a control freak lead dev who was ultimately releaved of his position (though not until after release iirc)
- Comment on Anon is chasing an old high 3 months ago:
Baldurs gate is good but it really shows how much they were trying to capitalise on 5e actually gaining mainstream attention (not that I blame em, folks gotta eat) Divinity Original Sin 2 is a previous title by the same company and IMO feels a lot better to play both mechanically and in terms of actually having a unique feeling universe.
