- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 1 week ago:
To be fair, it’s not just a steam thing. My understanding of the situation is that chromium is dropping win7 support so anything using chromium will stop working on older operating system.

Saw a homeless guy do this in downtown Toronto before. It didn’t smell great.

I just watched this movie 2 days ago at my parents and the trauma is the same as it was in 1984.

I saw this in a Japanese convenience store. Makes you wonder.

Try liking sonic the hedgehog games. The characters are all children but the fandom does not care.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 6 months ago:
I’d argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don’t own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn’t change how it impacts development and sales of games.
Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don’t belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.
My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 6 months ago:
MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn’t meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.
It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.
- Comment on The Quest to Beat Trackmania's Hardest Tower Map 6 months ago:
I usually don’t care much for streamers but Wirtual is amazing. He’s a talented player in his own right but also does a great job explaining the nuts and bolts of the game. I’m still a mediocre trackmania player (odd since I am usually very good at racing games) but his videos have taught me a lot.

- Comment on Legend of Zelda 7 months ago:
Replayed it last year and it was as good as I remembered. Windwaker is my personal favourite but LTTP is so close it might as well be a tie.

- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 10 months ago:
I’m to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I’m also used to society ignoring my generation so that’s fine.

It’s no more difficult that portal 2 was IMO.
- Comment on The big Portal 2 mod Portal: Revolution is out now on Steam 10 months ago:
If you managed to play through reloaded, revolution will be a wall in the park. I played through it yesterday and it’s great.
- Comment on MSI CLAW gaming handheld leaked, features Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with Arc graphics and 32GB memory 10 months ago:
I would love it if T8 could lock a solid 60fps on the deck. T7 fluctuates between 45 to 60 for me with everything set to low, not ideal for a fighting game.
- Comment on Tekken 8 demo poised to launch on December 14 on PS5, Xbox and PC afterward 11 months ago:
T7 has performance issues on the deck for me, I’m not hopeful for 8.
- Comment on PlayStation Portal Is Out Today, But Fans Are Having a Hard Time Finding One - IGN 1 year ago:
No, that would mean it can be used on it’s own. It’s literally a dumb terminal for the ps5 and nothing more.

The rest of the world doesn’t exist, it’s just a scam made up by the passport cartel to fleece you of your money every few years.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
A little, yeah. It’s screen is 800p and the hardware was designed to target that. Older and less demanding games manage ok at 1080p or even 4k but newer AAA games are not going to get there.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
And hopefully higher clocks and/or more cores when docked or on AC. I lov love my steam deck but would love it more if it could manage 1080p when docked without the performance tanking.
- Comment on I tried over 20 Steam Next demos so that you don't have to! 1 year ago:
What controller are you using? The right stick controlled my camera just fine with a dual shock 4 in windows and on my steam deck. Control issues aside, if you aren’t a fan of racing games, this game isn’t going to change that but the demo has me very excited for the full release.
- Comment on You teleport into the last game world you played. What happens next? 1 year ago:
Lumines 2 so probably crushed by falling blocks while genki rockets plays in the background.
- Comment on Chinese video games are on the rise, but I wish they got more respect 1 year ago:
China has spent decades building up their reputation of a place that produces cheap, inferior copies of better products and they aren’t going to shake that overnight or even in a few years.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 1 year ago:
It’s also 90 percent off on steam right now. Just grabbed it for $4.40 Canadian after tax.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 1 year ago:
I remeber playing Jedi fallen order and seeing ships being broken down like that during the opening mission. I thought that I would rather be doing that and then hardspace showed up on steam a few days later. It’s been on my wish list for way too long, definitely going to pick it up for my next game
- Comment on PlayStation 5- how sre the visuals so good and games run so well on a machine with the equivalent of a GTX 2060? 1 year ago:
They only have to target a single hardware configuration, the os has much less overhead than a typical desktop os, a graphics api that runs closer to the metal (also why the ps5 outperforms the more powerful series x) and some good development tools all go a long way to boosting the performance of the hardware.
I have an r5 3600 with an rtx 2070 and would not be surprised if the ps5 performs better with multiplatform titles.
- Comment on Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore? 1 year ago:
There was nothing wrong with the gamefaqs model, not every game needs or deserves a fully fleshed out wiki. Wikis are great if you want to know more about a game universe and its characters but are pretty awful as walkthroughs.
