  Looks like PatientGamers’ membership numbers will be on the rise soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ray Tracing Has a Noise Problem - Hardware Unboxed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I focus on the playability and addictiveness of the game; you focus on the immersiveness and photo-realism of the experience.

  That does not make either of us right or wrong, we’re just weighing different aspects differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ray Tracing Has a Noise Problem - Hardware Unboxed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who grew up when you could physically count the bloody pixels on the screen, this whining about a miserable invisible miniscule artifact makes me palmface very hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you sunk the most time into?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Over 700 hours in Skyrim. I don’t know how that happened as it’s not my usual game type. I usually go for shooters like Half-life or Serious Sam,b or puzzles like Portal or Talos Principle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Identify a 1990s game with initials?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only game with portable nukes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your most recent games played?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Graven on Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games is officially cool with the Internet Archive preserving early Unreal games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer to buy GOG when possible, Steam second. I even have some duplicated titles across vendors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games is officially cool with the Internet Archive preserving early Unreal games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Excellent that they don’t engage in Nintendo level community hostility and at least let people who care about old games preserve them.

  Stream goes one step further and actively maintains their legacy games playable. That is commitment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I posted from Boost for Lemmy, but formatted nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  52001. Brb.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Both end songs are on my playlist, I love it when the randomize function picks them up. You could say it is a triumph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 RTX | Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute Video⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still playing this game today. Undoubtedly my favorite game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 51 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have too many Half-life games and mods installed and refuse to remove them to make room for other, larger, games.

  Now I will have to try the bucket%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games give you a story that sticks with you and you love them for that (Half-Life, To The Moon, Bioshock Infinite). Some give you an experience that sticks with you but no story to speak of (like Doom and Doom II, which I still play).

  What I dislike is having to deal with people in my games. I already do that in reality, thank you very much.

  To me games are about escaping reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good game soundtracks?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Portal / Portal 2

  “Science Is Fun” is a great track, as are the end songs “Still Alive” and “I Want You Gone”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hang on, that is a single player game? I now auto-discard AAA games up front because most of them are online multiplayer affairs with fancy in-game items to purchase and silly anti-cheat gimmicks that give Linux users a hard time.

  I might look into buying this one, then.
