- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 3 weeks ago:
You’d be wrong. Though you could say I didn’t hate it at least. But I certainly hadn’t made up my mind yet.
I played the first game with a friend. Which is largely why I even finished it. It’s pretty overwhelming because you’re left to figure out a lot on your own. Second game I played on my own. After that is when I knew I liked it, or at least toward the end of that second game.
I can’t think of anything other than grand strategy games that I’ve been that indecisive over. Everything else has been within like 3 hours. Some barely even 20 minutes.

It largely depends on the type of game. There’s are plenty of games I’ve played where you’re still in the tutorial after 2 hours. Hell, I don’t think I knew if I liked EU4 until I was like 50+ hours in.
You don’t need 2 hours to figure out if you like Super Meat Boy though. You’ll know in less than an hour. Probably less than that.
For those who wonder how you could play a game for 50+ hours and not know if you like it; it’s a grand strategy game with lots of functionally. A full game can easily be 50+ hours depending on how fast you let the game run, and your first game is definitely going to have a lot of pausing trying to figure out various functionality. First game is or two is just figuring out the basic gameplay.

Is this real, or is it like the Onion? Cause surely no one would say this and be serious. And with such casual xenophobia tossed in.
- Comment on If the temple bell rings in Kyoto at the exact moment the tide hits the shore in Osaka, does the sound travel faster over the concrete or does the humidity in the air compress the distance between them? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t have any idea what’s being asked but humidity doesn’t compress anything, especially distance.

- Comment on McDonald’s employee in ICU after coworker allegedly threw hot oil on him: ‘Why would he do this to me?’ 1 month ago:
How well this will heal? They mention it only being second degree burns which doesn’t sound too bad, but they also mention skin grafts and being in a ton of pain. Not things I typically associate with second degree burns. However, I imagine the coverage area may be much of the problem.

- Comment on Neo, wake up! 1 month ago:
Other than the CGI the only thing wrong with it is it’s a setup for a bad sequel. That’s why it’ll never be good for me. I feel like I’m getting half of a story that’ll never be finished.
- Comment on Neo, wake up! 1 month ago:
I thought that was the Warhammer prequel.
- Comment on Neo, wake up! 1 month ago:
Reloaded wasn’t that bad, though the CGI certainly doesn’t hold up. Revolutions was pretty bad though, apart from the action.

Depends on how the site implements things. Age verification can be regardless of region, or it can just be for specific regions. This holds true for pretty much any feature.

I can’t keep up with this. The outcome has changed like 3 times in the past week. First it was a monetary settlement directly for him. Then it changed to this. Yesterday I read that the lawsuit got stopped. And now it’s back to this. What the fuck is actually happening with this suit?
