  Yeah they’re full of ‘critical support’ for anything that obstructs US foreign policy. Regardless of how many workers may die in the process. Amazing that they can call themselves communists and ignore revolutionary defeatism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah with Nintendo watching two Xboxes languish and consumer discontent with the recent playstations as well, there’s not a real impetus for something radical in design. Some innovation would be exciting but the Switch and PC Handhelds prove people want big grippy mobile devices, even if they’re only moving between rooms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of Japanese open world games do. Monster Hunter comes first to my mind

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffeezilla does a third part of his CS:GO gambling expose...where he squarely puts the blame on Valve⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The single player is pretty good. You can also mod the single player to launch you into a separate online mode that doesn’t interact with R* servers. I don’t think there’s a way to sample GTA:O without signing in to the actual online mode. But like 99% of Twitch streamers for the game are playing a modded singleplayer version that lets them connect to roleplay servers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Winter Sale 2024 Has Begun!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the only progression is in terms of gear really. There are some skills you can buy but they don’t seem to matter as much as a good weapon or shield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit I loved Divinity Original Sin and the sequel, but even I don’t think Larian could match or exceed BG3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Winter Sale 2024 Has Begun!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Outward is definitely not for everyone, but it felt to me like playing Morrowind for the first time. Not in the dialogue or character writing but in terms of looking at a weird thing on the horizon and asking myself ‘WTF IS THAT’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I did something similar to this but I misremembered the figure. So I got to watch my boss fiddle and fumble for the courage to say ‘actually it was only an X% raise, not Y%’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent but Deadly: I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It made dungeoning take less time. If it’s faster, it’s cheaper. Hazing endears the group to the new member. The inconvenience of hiking out to the dungeon after getting a group together, and reforming a group after someone left because the warlock couldn’t summon the tank in time to start the dungeon well before their dinner, was a shared trauma that helped the group cohese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SHINY⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The biggest element you are not accounting for is time. It takes an unfathomably long amount of time for the benefits of random mutation to shape a population.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They nailed it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ecstasy Of Gold is from the finale where Tuco is running through the graveyard. The only vocalizations are from a soprano and a masculine choir.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whomp-whomp: AI PCs make users less productive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a razr because the zenphone got huge. What I didn’t expect to love are the big bezels on the internal screen (to allow it to close) they stop the fleshy bottom of my thumb from touching the screen, an issue I’ve had with previous phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a green mount similar to this one they added in BFA for a large sum of gold. But they claimed to dislike how it encouraged so many people to play the market and removed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Paradox, CD Projekt and 11-bit devs reveal new 4X strategy RPG that splices Manor Lords with Crusader Kings⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand why it can’t be multiplayer with how long the feasts and other events can run. But I love playing these games with friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Hey Google, Turn my balls off"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays Balatro⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FWIW the dev claims to hate gambling. Playing Cards and poker hands are just theming, as you visit the shop more things really get off rails, but even before that you have multiple hands to get the target score and multiple mulligans to shape those hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they don’t need touchpads and like an asymmetrical layout

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like any web browsers⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The intro-to-programming instructor at the school I work at loves it. But he also has a GME To The Moon sticker on his PC. Seems to be a beloved instructor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wise words from Master⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was my first Rated M game and it set the bar impossibly high

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The miracle of childbirth⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting how colloquially “earn it” is more positive than “deserve it”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arma and DayZ makers’ free-to-play looter-shooter Vigor is coming to PC, half a decade after consoles⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the state of DayZ I’m not confident it will be much more stable after they get out of Early Access.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keanu Reeves to play Shadow in the Sonic 3 movie as Sega announce the Year of Shadow⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah he’s basically just a notch deeper than how I remember Shadow’s VA from Sonic Adventure 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting old sucks⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of young folks with time to dedicate to surfing were at the right age where lolrandom was peak humor. They were ripe to receive the shit posts of prodigious animators congregating on Newgrounds and Ebaums etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sleep paralysis⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is consistent with my experience. I didn’t have a paralysis demon, but I was convinced my ceiling fan was plotting to kill me. Not that it was going to fall and hurt but that it was scheming to have me assassinated and would take matters into its own hands if necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨acceptable screws⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup one of the first things I learned in computer repair is that a mostly flattened Philips works way better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CD Projekt Red still 'don't see a place for microtransactions' in singleplayer games⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  CDPR could be a lot better with mods, they intentionally undercooked their mod tools to ‘protect’ DLC sales. Didn’t stop people from doing some wild things like replacing all combat with themed Gwent decks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'The gold rush is over:' Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon devs say that big Game Pass and Epic exclusive deals have dried up for indie devs⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me gift games, let me wishlist games to receive gifts. There’s lots of other features I would also like but if other stores had that I’d be much more inclined to use the other stores.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing I loved about Elite was the collection of mini games. Navigating through the space station to your landing pad, finding a suitable patch of surface to touchdown on a planet, having to fight or yield to a supercruise interdiction, they all came together to make Elite feel like a driving game where your vehicle happens to be a spaceship.

  In No Man’s Sky landing and takeoff are achieved with a singular button press. And the ship combat is there to check a box. The game is mostly about taking pics of flora and fauna and digging trenches in planets for minerals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs explain why it was a much bigger overhaul than you'd think⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The sort of alternate universe I yearned for once upon a time was Zelda continuing to be about time gimmicks. OoT had two points in a timeline, MM had the groundhog’s labor day weekend, and there was oracle of ages/seasons by Capcom. I guess there’s only so many ways to spin it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs explain why it was a much bigger overhaul than you'd think⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really enjoyed the writing of the side characters in the N64 games. Sure most only had two maybe three things to say outside a side quest but they all had a nugget of commentary on the human condition.
