It’s a great game, but I dunno how well it will work on phones. The UI is gonna have to be really reworked. I found it a bit clunky even on desktop. The story is fantastic, though. :)
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 1 day ago:
DOOM 16 was fantastic, but eternal felt gross. It was a huge step back from 2016, and didn’t feel fun. I’m not bothering with the newer games since they essentially are going off gimmicks.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 6 days ago:
What happened to him in the end? I remember her sacrificing herself to the winter, but all I remember is Geralt living and then the post game DLC. Maybe I got the really weird ending, haha
- Comment on After raising over $800 million from its community, Star Citizen's developer delays the release of a new ship upgrade as players baulk at having to pay for it 1 week ago:
800 million dollars? They raised $800,000,000 and it’s still in alpha? What the fuck.
Also, I hate the trend of content such as ships releasing as a paid DLC, then later as an in-game grind. In the olden days, the ships were free in games like Elite. The only thing that cost money was actual DLC expansions. That trend was probably spearheaded by star citizen devs :p

Nope, that is what third spaces are for. :)
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 2 weeks ago:
Because our president shows that once in 248 years, someone who continuously flouts the law somehow makes it into power, then changes everything to be in their favor, permanently.
- Comment on Weed Manager of the Year: One Man’s Quest to Save the Sonoran Desert 3 weeks ago:
When it comes to saguaro cacti with scorched, dying bases…can people chop and prop them, just like traditional succulents and cacti? The ones in that picture still have a considerable amount of green. Their bases might be destroyed, but their bodies appear to be fine until they die of thirst. Humans may be able to save a number of them.
- Comment on E.P.A. Plans to Shut Down the Energy Star Program 3 weeks ago:
Also
Paula R. Glover, president of the Alliance to Save Energy, a group that promotes energy efficiency, said the Energy Star program cost $32 million but delivered $40 billion in annual savings on utility bills.
32 million for over $4 billion A YEAR in savings. What a fucking waste. 32 million is pocket change. I think my city spends more than $32 million a year on bike lanes, lol.

- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 3 weeks ago:
I absolutely loved my apartments that had a heatpump and toilets with water-pressure powered engines(?), which barely used any water.
My summer electric bills (all electric appliances) were $66 in the 2020s, $130 in winter. My efficient toilet could have flushed a fucking coconut, it was so powerful that there was actually air getting sucked out of the room when you flushed it. It’s tank had no visible water, but had something that looked like a black car engine, which would blast air and water when flushed.
- Comment on Microsoft kills Windows Maps app 3 weeks ago:
They’re sad, it’s actually somewhat nice to have. It actually works better than my car’s integrated maps, which is wild. Yes, the OEM screwed up the maps app so badly that most streets don’t even have names visible, and the car struggles to find even basic chains, camp sites, addresses, etc.

- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 4 weeks ago:
Nothing went wrong. Remember the era where every sequel was straight to DVD? Who remembers The Lion King 2? How about Brother Bear 2? Sonic Adventure 2?
It’s difficult to iterate on a piece of media that was written to be a standalone entity.
The only exceptions really are when stories are split into multiple games (such as halo 1-3)

I was like “how could discord be any worse?” Then this drops xD
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 4 weeks ago:
It gives us certain rights and protections, tax benefits, etc. Hospital visitations, legal stuff, the ability to get in your own queue for immigration, and it’s a sign to each other that you both are committed to each other for the long haul. It’s a sign of trust.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 teases new creatures and co-op among the coral 4 weeks ago:
Fingers crossed that this is a genuine subnautica 2 and not another BZ.
1 is great with co-op mods, though it’s about as janky as one might expect. Still, it was a lot of fun building bases with friends, and going on submarine adventures.

That’s literally what some companies are doing, to let consumers know that they aren’t price gouging them, and that it’s that dumbfuck’s fault.

Hmmm. I’ve always heard good things about this show, but yeahhhh, not sure I can bear to watch bleak things right now. Unless a couple of amazing things happen, but those are very unlikely.
