It’s also inexplicably missing the coolest one (Dr Victor von Doom)
- Comment on Please don't crash. Please don't crash. Please don't crash. 4 days ago:
It is quite definitive though. Aside from one (alleged) occurrence of a person not being cured (and it is also alleged to have worked the second time, in that case), it has never been described to fail in all of humanity’s recorded history
- Comment on Brand recognition 4 days ago:
Yes, that is basically how one would pronounce “ballsack” with a Scottish accent (Rockstar North, the historical “main” GTA studio, is Scottish)
- Comment on My markup has my cat's contributions. 4 days ago:
Same. Unfortunately I might need to update it soon and I don’t think I’ve kept the files
- Comment on Brand recognition 5 days ago:
The one that always gets me is the stock market app being called Bawsaq
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour 1 week ago:
Because it is more data I guess ? Also probably has to use lossless compression, if it can be compressed at all. Whereas video compression algorithms are usually pretty damn lossy
- Comment on Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher 1 week ago:
Same rendering engine, same lighting, and for the vast majority of them, basically the same rendering settings (as the other person said, tweaking these can actually be quite a lot of work)
- Comment on Assassin Bug 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but these guys have exoskeletons so they are cooler. Sorry, I don’t make the rules
- Comment on This man is a parody of himself 2 weeks ago:
See less text ?
- Comment on Anon enjoys a quiet night at home 2 weeks ago:
I’m going for the timeless classic : a cat in heat. In my experience they produce a wide variety of “kid getting murdered” sounds
- Comment on Anon races against the jock in P.E. 3 weeks ago:
Lmao, I also had a jock friend who was ashamed of his very high arena rating (ca. 2017 though)
- Comment on Stress is relative 3 weeks ago:
Can confirm, grandpa was a WW2 vet (+ a few of the postcolonial wars that followed). He used to say that soldiers morale hinges on wine and cigarettes.
Also he died of lung cancer after surviving all that shit, including being a POW for 4+ years in extremely shitty conditions in Cambodia
- Comment on Sorry to be a bother... 3 weeks ago:
Joke’s on you, I would slide it down all the way to zero as soon as I leave home
- Comment on Triggered 3 weeks ago:
Well, if dodos had a Glock they would not have been hunted to extinction now, wouldn’t they ?
- Comment on Anon wants to stop the mad painter 3 weeks ago:
just spend an hour of development time giving players the choice to disable it and literally everyone wins!
As a senior games programmer, depending on the engine and a ton of other very game-specific stuff, I’d guesstimate that anywhere between a 5 minutes, 1-man job and a several days long task potentially spanning multiple poles (mostly thinking of LD, 3D artists and tech artists. And obviously programming and UI)
- Comment on Hasbro CEO Says AI Will Become Core Part of Dungeons & Dragons 5 weeks ago:
Yes please, kill d&d so the creative people currently working on it move to others IPs you don’t control 🙏
- Comment on EU consumer groups slam 'manipulative' video game spending tactics. 5 weeks ago:
As a professional gamedev : good. Except if they aren’t tackling similar issues in online gambling (am at work so I didn’t read the article)
- Comment on Introducing Steam Families 5 weeks ago:
But just know that I’m order to set it up, you have to login with your account on their computer at some point to enable the family sharing feature
I doubt it, because I think that’s literally how it used to work
- Comment on Do people actually starve themselves to play games like World of Warcraft? 5 weeks ago:
FOMO can be a bitch for some people. The fact that it is so widely exploited in tech/videogames is no coincidence
- Comment on anon finds a plothole 5 weeks ago:
They’re saying that the question she asked the witch asks is “who is the fairest ?” which does not mean “the most beautiful”

This is gonna make a lot of Europeans mad.
Source : am french. I love me some American coffee, but the default here is the espresso. You can also get a “long espresso” which is basically a diluted espresso, and is still not the same as an American (and this is where my coffee knowledge stops, so I’m not sure what the differences are exactly). I also have some Italian family and they would probably disown me if I said that the American is the “default” black coffee
- Comment on Why is the community for Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact like this? 1 month ago:
Yeah, me too, but I was on my phone
- Comment on Why is the community for Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact like this? 1 month ago:
The absolute irony of clicking this link and being met by an ad for some gacha game featuring ample-chested anime characters

The existence of the lucky 10000 implies the existence of the unlucky 10000
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
I often describe slay the spire’s meta progression as “a roguelike with homework”.

Dude, I have not played mortal kombat in ages but I still seethe at the mere mention of Goro

I literally saw that book yesterday ! Tomi Ungerer is a great author too
