- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 3 days ago:
What walled garden are you talking about? Exclusive games? Literally every console ever made has those.
QoL console releases? Again, Nintendo is not the only company to do that. PS4/PS5 Pro, the recent Xboxes, etc
With emulators, they’re only trying to protect their current hardware. They’ve put basically zero effort into shutting down emulators for consoles they don’t sell anymore. Yeah, I’m with everyone else in wishing they didn’t shut down the switch emulators but it’s somewhat understandable that they’re trying to protect their revenue from hardware sales

- Comment on Marvel Rivals - Season 1 Trailer 1 week ago:
I get it, people have understandable reasons for why they personally wouldn’t want crossplay in competitive. All I’m asking for is the option to enable it. I’m on PC and almost all of my friends are on console so we always have to play casual. The wild swings in opponent skill level get really annoying sometimes. Solo queuing in this game is exceptionally awful because voice chat is disabled by default, which makes no sense for a game that requires teamwork
And yeah, the blanket live service hate gets pretty annoying. Like this is a great game with purely cosmetic microtransactions that can be easily ignored
- Comment on Marvel Rivals - Season 1 Trailer 1 week ago:
Ok new heroes, yeah, cool, but an option for crossplay in competitive would be even better 🙏 My competitive rank is low because I can’t party up with my friends and has absolutely nothing to do with my own skill ^trust me^
Also why is this post getting so many downvotes?

Rocky IV was my immediate thought before opening the thread. Not one but two training montages. Cold War tensions. High tech training machines. It’s the best

I’m hoping this lights a fire under devs’ asses and reminds them that the platformer genre exists. I’ve played a few recent indie platformers that were decent but I’d love to see the genre get some love from bigger studios (other than Nintendo).
The only recent one I can think of that fits that bill is Yooka Laylee and that game was doodoo.

Bugfixes are a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” thing with remasters. Purists and speedrunners often prefer bugs remain unfixed, others don’t
But I definitely see what you mean with the overly busy designs and inaccurate models. I actually died once to my own rocket launcher because I thought I was shooting through a gap between a cliffside and a tree but the gap acted like an invisible wall

I’m curious what you think they messed up with CE anniversary? I just recently played through it and can’t remember any changes besides the graphics, which can be switched back to normal by simply pressing the Tab key

- Comment on Are there Cozy shooter games? 3 months ago:
I’ve been enjoying the flow state I get into while playing Space Marine II. It is a mix of melee and shooting, but the melee aspect is very simple - no memorizing combos and the timing of parries is fairly forgiving. It’s all very satisfying once you get the feel for it. Cinematics are skippable, the can change the difficulty level to your liking, and you can set your lobbies to private if you don’t wanna play with others

“Live service” is a genre. Clearly, it’s not your genre. So play other genres.

- They missed a single letter in a single word on a page that wasn’t meant to be public-facing, what a bunch of losers
It’s pretty easy to tell that this guy spends at least half of his waking hours on reddit. He also completely glossed over the fact that it’ll be open source, so we can just fork it and cut out the icky parts

I mean, as an engineer, I can tell you that sort of group solving DOES happen in meetings sometimes, but it’s the speed they do it at in the show that’s unrealistic. At the same time, slowing it down would make for bad television so idk
- Comment on How did Call of Duty get to this point? 4 months ago:
The current COD (MW3/Warzone) is my guilty pleasure. It crashes during 50% of my play sessions, the player/weapon skins are cringe, the battle pass is pushed pretty hard, but somehow I’m able to ignore all of that and have a lot of fun with it. Warzone is my personal favorite battle royale implementation and MW3 is a nostalgia trip with all the remade maps from past games.
Admittedly, half of my enjoyment comes from playing with my clan from the Xbox 360 days and feeling like we’re in high school again, so playing alone might not be so fun

Yeah, editing the session bus settings of the Firefox flatpak just so my laptop’s screen doesn’t go to sleep while watching YouTube is disappointing. Not difficult, but still disappointing.
Ever since I started daily driving Linux, I constantly face problems that make me wonder if the developers of open source software even use their own applications
