- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 3 days ago:
The tiers work in the opposite direction though, only huge titles will likely qualify for lower % takes while indies barely scraping by are getting hit for the full 30%.
Again this is only a minor point of criticism, I love valve in general. But man it would be so easy to add something like a “15% on the first $50.000 in sales” exception, wouldn’t cost Valve all that much and would help small indie teams immensely.

Hey don’t mistake that comment for a defense of Epic. I am a fan of Steam in general (in so far as I can be regarding “license selling” companies.) I think Gabe did many great things for game distribution. I’m working on an indie game myself and if it ever gets to the point that I can release it, it will be on Steam no doubt. I do dread the day Gabe has to pass on the torch though.

Main problem: incredibly slow/unresponsive. Clicking things doesn’t give good visual feedback and can take forever for the underlying webpage to load/reload.
It’s designed as a webshop first and game library second (third, fourth?) Unintuitive UI, hard to search, hard to categorize, poor feedback on what’s being downloaded and why. Basically every quality of life feature from Steam is missing.
But to be fair it’s been a few years since I opened it. Might have improved a lot since then. I use Heroic these days. Also not amazing but at least it’s open source.

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Man it’s a shame the Epic store sucks so so bad. I’d love to give developers a bigger cut. Steam is amazing but taking a 30% cut is a bit insane.
Still, having to struggle with the Epic launcher… oof. GOG’s isn’t great either but it beats the hell out of Epic still.
- Comment on Cyber Knights: Flashpoint hits Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam with a big new update live 1 week ago:
Looks like a good concept but man that UI is so incredibly busy and overloaded. Also feels like stealth is just a precursor to killing all the guards rather than the goal of the game. Are there any games like this in a cyberpunk setting that are more “pure” stealth like Invisible Inc?
- Comment on Subnautica 2 teases new creatures and co-op among the coral 2 weeks ago:
I understand why they’re going that way but Subnautica is such a quintessential single player experience. I hope they leave that experience the main focus.

Yeah but it’s easy, just take the sine of regular time and you’re set.

- Comment on Young people are now overwhelmingly Republican 3 weeks ago:
That’s right, those damn nazis that want to freely criticize the president. That oppose mass deportations and insist on treasonous ideas like “due process” and “habeas corpus” That think the constitution is more important that our great leader’s commands. Completely reprehensible.
- Comment on Egosoft reveal the big free Diplomacy update for X4: Foundations due out in 2025 3 weeks ago:
LOVE IT! One of my all time favorite games and it gets better every year. If you’re no playing this yet, get it! It’s regularly on discount, very affordable. And while the DLCs are great you can have hundreds of hours of fun with just the base game. Support this amazing company!

All right, I’ll take that.

No I’ve seen this one before, the baby is actually standing on a stepladder and /that/ has been edited out.

I think it was desperation trying to avert Trump’s election. Not saying you’re wrong of course.

- Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages 1 month ago:
For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking “he’s an idiot and he’s just drawing attention to himself.” But now, to anyone that was still thinking “maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn’t really mean it”, this is it. If you’re not getting it now you never will. He’s literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.

No, someone else is doing something worse than me so I’m absolved. I can do what I want.
- Comment on The System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster pages are on GOG & Steam 2 months ago:
One of my all time favorites. This looks like a real remaster rather than SS1’s remake. Either way looking forward to revisiting the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker.

I’m so shocked I can’t even tell you how much. Elon Musk? Grifting money from the government? I just don’t believe it.

But what if i need to commute 600 miles to work and back every day and on top of that once a year I drive a million miles to my vacation home? Checkmate!
- Comment on The Lemmy Liberal 2 months ago:
- Like telling people they can’t be the sexuality they choose or that they can’t control their own uterus.
- Like when people tell you there’s scientific proof for the above
- Like when a guy in dress reads a picture book to some kids
- Like how invading the capitol is patriotic but kneeling during the national anthem is treason
- Comment on Jon Stewart says the media cried wolf with its 'fascist' attacks on Trump 2 months ago:
I think the main problem with shouting fascist is not that it’s wrong but that it’s ineffective. You have to address what he’s actually doing wrong and how you would do better. Of course it’s a big problem that he’s incredibly good at spreading disinformation and the Democrats are almost completely media illiterate these days.

I mean it’s absolutely news but why would you link Breitbart of all sites? It’s not like it’s not posted to real news sites.

Can’t stomach McFarlane unfortunately. I’m told it gets better later on but his sense of humor is just like nails on a chalkboard to me. Couldn’t get myself to finish the first season.

I’d support a “you can eat all the meat you can catch and kill with your bare hands” diet.
