- 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 5 days 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 5 days 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.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 RTX | Demo with Full Ray Tracing and Dlss 4 Announce 1 week ago:
So misleading that the RTX shots also use the re-mastered assets making it look like it magically makes the entire game higher res. Reminds me of those clickbait 3D modelling tips videos where all they do is use a ton of subdivision, yeh it looks smoother, its also got like 8x the geometry to work with.
- Comment on Dunning-Kruger 1 week ago:
To be fair light does travel in straight lines, its not lights fault if a straight line in physical reality doesn’t always happen to match up with the geometry we invented.

- Comment on Why aren't all rooms holodecks? 3 weeks ago:
Hey now if we’re using the practical applications of the tech then the warp field emitters could be used to simply tear ships in half with as much or less energy than it takes to move the ship in the first place, or cause planetary cores to collapse into micro black holes, or create an inverted artifical event horizon around the ship making it physically impossible for weapons fire to pass through it because the direction of ‘through’ simply no longer exists.

- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 1 month ago:
Is it more understandable can civ 6? I’m a fan of goddamn stellaris and could competently play civ 5 but civ 6 is like being beaten half to death with a textbook on quantumn physics and then told to sit an exam. The tutorial prepares you for the game about as much as a stick of chewing gum prepares you for the beating.

Elon isn’t a government official, there would be nothing unwise about arresting him for things most people would get arrested or at least questioned by the police for.
- Comment on If a child went into a coma and woke up as an adult what would happen ? 2 months ago:
On one side I see americans talking about taking over greenland like it’d be a new old west style frontier, on the other side I see northern europe increasingly warming up to landmines again. Come to the new frontier, we have great opportunities like serving mega corporations, randomly exploding and being murdered by danish guerillas.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 2 months ago:
I’m a big fan of stellaris and I played a bit of Civ 5.
Civ 6 is the most impenatrable thing I’ve ever played, even after the tutorial it still feels like I’ve been shown how to use a hammer and then immediately asked to build the Taj Mahal. - Comment on Negotiations over AI are still holding up video game development - Mass Effect's Jennifer Hale explains why 2 months ago:
Art is incredibly valubable, other than wars most of the stuff we remember about past situations is some kind of art (statues, stories, graffiti) Artists on the other than have no percieved value whatsoever.
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 2 months ago:
All dialogue options have previews that are nothing like what you actually say (Looking at you Cyberpunk) so you try to apologise for someones loss but the actual dialogue is your character being an utter piece of shit without warning.
- Comment on If investing in the S&P 500 is such a surefire way to make money, then why isn't everyone doing it? 2 months ago:
Because its gate kept, particularly outside the US we don’t have any way to invest that doesn’t require some fee, so you need to be rich enough that your investment will make you more than the monthly fee to the broker. Then as a non cajillionare if the particular fund your invested in goes bust you get completely fucked over because debts are paid out to the largest creditors first.
- Comment on master manipulators 2 months ago:
I mean that sounds more like those are just traits we have and we made domesticated animals have similar traits to out own since presumably that makes us get along better.
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 3 months ago:
Honestly I can’t think of a recent game I enjoyed that wasn’t a narrative-driven story rich game.
- Comment on conditional probability 3 months ago:
Nah that’d be other animals, if you just count large mammals then yeh humans probably beat out everything else combined but predators of rodents, small sea creatures and insects almost certainly outdo us by orders of magnitude.

Luckily a family friend was good with computers and managed to force it to work anyway but it was my first and last experience with EAs bullshit.
- Comment on What video game company/developer/publisher loves shitting on it's fans? 3 months ago:
Nah Nintendo has hated Melee in particular basically since Brawl released as it continues to compete with new releases. More recently a community made online + rollback mod has drawn Nintendos usual emulation ire.

tbf the calculated speed is actually roughly the minnimum based on its starting position and the frame it appeared in. it could have actually been going even faster.
- Comment on TURKEY POWER 3 months ago:
My reasoning is we should do both, nuclear and renewables both have useful properties in the short and long term and the idea we can’t afford both seems ridiculous when we can apparently spend huge amounts of money on things like space tourism and giving amazon more money back in rebates than they paid in taxes to begin with.
- Comment on TURKEY POWER 3 months ago:
Thing is this has been said for longer than I’ve been alive, and will probably still be said after I’m dead, in the intervening 70-80 years we could have and could be actually building the damn things.
- Comment on Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? 3 months ago:
Unbound was basically dead on arrival, its practically just heat with re-shade and barely any actual new content.
- Comment on New Housebuilding in the UK Held Back by Pollution from Factory Farms 3 months ago:
Same banality of evil that causes millionares row in New York to mostly just be a bunch of empty skyscrapers. Property makes an excellent investment vehicle and restricting the supply keeps prices high.
- Comment on New Housebuilding in the UK Held Back by Pollution from Factory Farms 3 months ago:
More like the UK government (and every damn government since I’ve been alive) just hates housebuilding and will come up with any reason to prevent it.
- Comment on For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value. 4 months ago:
I agree the main story isn’t that re-playable, though I’d say phantom liberty is worth 2 playthroughs because the endings diverge pretty heavily and actually have gameplay to go with them. I find the best way to play it is to do minnimal main story, crank up the difficulty, maybe install some mods and then play it as an rpg with all the side gigs.
