Oh wow even the Netherlands that is as flat as a pancake and half the country sits below sea level has a higher mountain
- Comment on Laura Fryer - HR needs to stay in their lane (and out of Game Development) 1 day ago:
Laura Fryer just gives fuel to the gamer gate fire. Most of her stuff is just conjecture and speculation. She hasn’t been in the industry for a decade.

Breaking news: Pilot dragged out of the cockpit by swat team because of false bomb threat by air traffic controller.

Adults that buy and play with Legos suffer from arrested development and should do something useful with their lives
Guess all your hobbies are super useful to society?

They are not saying that Macs are good but they are refuting the statement that Mac users are all inept morons.
- Comment on Supermassive Games announces layoffs, up to 75 positions to be affected 2 days ago:
Their games are probably not easy to make and definitely not cheap if you hire these famous actors. Sure they are not s-tier level of actors but they are definitely not cheap. I bet many of those actors can ask a higher pay than the games industry’s favorite called Troy Baker.
Also the market for interactive movies probably isn’t mega huge either. Every interactive movie series they released was published by a different publisher. Doubt they were massive hits.

He doesn’t hold the copyright so has no right to distribute it. Like if you bought a manuscript from a book you don’t have the right to print copies of it and distribute it. Since you only are the owner of that specific manuscript not the copyright and distribution rights of the actual content.

- Comment on Every time 1 week ago:
It was totally off in tone and characters, but as Hollywood adaptations go it was pretty OK.
It’s that basically every Asimov adaption?
- Comment on And Miss The Opportunity To Tap That Ass? 1 week ago:
Religion started because kids were asking their dad questions. “Daddy why is the sky blue?, Why does the sun move across the sky?, Why why why daddy” “Uh uh some sort of god does that, yeah a god”
And then those kids grew up and still believe that story et voila you got religion.
- Comment on Netflix is garbage 1 week ago:
The point is the almost guaranteed speed. I can stream a 4K BluRay remux immediately, no waiting, no buffering, no hitches. Sure a new or popular movie will work well without debrid but a lot of times older movies don’t stream well without a debrid especially high bit rate files.

Stremio + torrentio addon and Alldebrid. Just 3 bucks a month.

Engagement bait slop.
- Comment on modern classic 1 week ago:
They are both ugly. The only thing worth preserving is the stone wall and the beams. The wood paneling on the walls is most likely just veneer. I’m not really a fan of lacquered wood paneled walls unless they have some eye catching feature. The smoothness makes them look like a floor.
- Comment on Bethesda unveils new logo 1 week ago:
Have you seen the response when MS rebranded the Xbox logo to the old version? They immediately put Asha Sharma on a pedestal. Many adult gamers that are my age (30+ year olds) are idiots who want to wallow in nostalgia.
- Comment on Bethesda unveils new logo 1 week ago:
Yep MS has failed hard to gain any market share with the generation of gamers that came after millennials. So now they are trying to win back millennials and Gen X gamers who used to own an Xbox with nostalgia bait. They already did the rebranding to the old XBOX logo and the release of the limited edition green console.

I am an Asian and live in Europe. Racism against Asians exists here as well. And it’s pretty much normalized.

- Comment on Anon orders food 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I mean lawn grass. Most people don’t use native species.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 weeks ago:
Many Americans don’t have healthy grass if they have grass in the first place. In many places in the US keeping a pristine grass yard requires a shit ton of human intervention, which means fertilizers and a ton of chemicals. Since grass isn’t native to those areas.

This is how permanently online hardcore gamers find out that they are the minority.
- Comment on Lazy weekend with my Switch Lite and Octopath Traveler 2 weeks ago:
And the storylines are not that great to begin with. Plus the voice acting and the writing is on a 80s Saturday morning cartoon level of bad.
I heard compared to the Japanese writing the English localization added a ton of unnecessary flourish.
- Comment on I built a free game where you try to beat a couch at timing the market. Over 80k plays later, the couch usually wins. 2 weeks ago:
Maybe add a volume chart to measure market activity, a candle stick chart to see the intra day OHLC and a moving average line. Just to see if people fair better compared to just an end of day line chart.

Just stand near them and tell them you got the vaccine. The imaginary spike proteins will kill them because it gave them acute hypochondria.
- Comment on Miyamoto: Games based on developers’ personal interests resonate around the world, not those aiming for global appeal | VGC 3 weeks ago:
The nerd himself did that to the franchise. Like Ewoks were added to sell more toys and then he made the Prequels which was nothing but corporate slop again to sell more toys.

Stop playing triple A games all together. They are all shitty companies who mistreat their employees.
