- Comment on "We have no official information on an Oblivion remake," say Bethesda, which isn't a denial, is it 1 day ago:
Starfield?
- Comment on Civilization 7's next update will make food actually worth investing in and let you play forever, if you've got that long 1 week ago:
Oh my god my friends and I were PISSED. The game just ended! You made it through the third age! Congrats! Game ends. We were just entering into a major war and had a strategy planned out, we were moving troops then it was just over.
No more one more turn, no more alternate victory conditions, just done. Very unsatisfying end, and that was about 4 days of play to get there. Really soured us all
- Comment on Should I say fuck it and buy a steam deck now? Before all the tariffs hit. 1 week ago:
Even separate from that, if OP does not have at least a few months of savings, even in good times, their number one priority should be saving. If they do not have savings then they are not in the position to buy
- Comment on Amazon Luna and Electronic Arts sign a multi-year deal, as Luna expands into more countries 2 weeks ago:
I say good tbh. There’s a lot of people who can’t afford big gaming rigs and cloud gaming closes that gap. As long as I get to still play the way I always have them in happy
- Comment on HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks 3 weeks ago:
Of course, I don’t think anyone would expect anything different, but what’s better is that they’re legitimizing steamos, and by extension Linux more and more by each one jumping on
- Comment on Playable GTA 6 map mod Project Vice is no more following Take-Two copyright strike 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah because someone was going to play this and think “guess I don’t need to buy the real one now”.
- Comment on GNOME 48 released with Notification Stacking, Performance Improvements and initial HDR support 3 weeks ago:
Woop!
- Comment on Xbox, stop trying to make Silksong happen, it's not going to happen 3 weeks ago:
There’s not even an article! Not even a sentence! They didn’t even finish the meme!?
- Comment on Following the nightmare footage of AI-loy, Horizon actor Ashly Burch shares her stance on the whole debacle 4 weeks ago:
That’s fine, they actor just needs to be compensated for it. Right now they’re trying to argue that you have them your voice, tough titties get out they’ll use it how they want. I think there should be a completely separate payment system if they want to train on their voice too.
- Comment on Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 5 weeks ago:
See, this is why I’m disappointed with revolt. Because it’s such an amazing interface and replaces discord 1:1, but I can’t recommend it because they don’t have federation. So I have to make an account for every server, which is a non starter for me and most of my friends.
- Comment on Respawn Entertainment Just Killed Their Unannounced Incubation Team Project 5 weeks ago:
Why be interested in anything that any game company announced? They can just kill it tomorrow. Talk about burning bridges
- Comment on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Officially Confirmed 5 weeks ago:
*officially until they close the game studio
- Comment on Half-Life 3 is just the hot exclusive Valve needs to propel SteamOS past Windows 1 month ago:
But, maybe we can make a super clickbaity article anyway?
- Comment on Innersloth announce Among Us 3D by kicking Among Us VR into a crusher 1 month ago:
The big problem with 3d is that you’ll never get your friend group to all join the same platform. The great thing about among us is that I could have friends join from their 3 thousand dollar gaming rigs or their phone. It saved us during covid.
Unless you can still join from other devices, but I’m not sure who would have the advantage.
- Comment on These are the text messages that allegedly got a former Bungie executive fired, according to a court document written by Sony 1 month ago:
Holy shit, it is worth reading the article for those texts.
He’s guilty AF, and now he’s whining that he won’t get his payout? Maybe you don’t be a creepo level 10000
- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 1 month ago:
I didn’t think it was bad, I honestly enjoyed it. I think people are too polarized, it’s either baulders gate or it’s trash. I disagree. It wasn’t top tier, but that doesn’t mean it was bad either. It’s okay to have a mid game.
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 1 month ago:
It was, the blue and red have an optical illusion with my eyes, it really looks like 3d to me, even as a 2d image
- Comment on Mesa 25.0 open source graphics drivers released with Vulkan 1.4 and initial AMD RDNA4 support 1 month ago:
Okay unrelated, but do the cogs in the mesa graphic there look 3d to anyone else? Is it intentional? Trick of the eyes? Brilliant if they did it on purpose
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 1 month ago:
Valve and I have trust. 20 years of it. They are there, have fair prices, let me play where and when I want, no gotchas, I trust them. Sure tomorrow they could break that trust, but so far they haven’t.
Then Amazon, who has continuously ruined my trust. Adding ads to an ad free prime tier, lying about delivery times, getting shittier and cheaper products on their store, and oh yeah, just being an evil company. And they wonder why I never even looked at their store.
- Comment on Ubisoft Financial Briefing Reveals Massive Loss In Revenue 1 month ago:
2024 was arguably the lowest point the company had in many years, with things getting so bad that the company’s leadership has been called into question many times
Never before this, no one ever stopped to think if they were doing a good job or if their plans made sense. There was a clear downward trend, the seawater was coming in and people were jumping out, but they decided it was fine. Now it’s half in the water and maybe it’s time to wonder if they’re doing a good job

I’m doing my part!
- Comment on GTA 6 publishers think PC is of "increasing" importance in 2025, but still won't announce the magic date 2 months ago:
Multiplayer is a crapshoot, singleplayer I’m more surprised when something doesn’t work. I was able to play Veilguard day one using proton. Madden 2025 they explicitly banned linux. Just always check protondb.com before purchasing.

As long as it works with proton I’m happy. There have been a few games that go out of their way to prevent proton compatibility.
- Comment on GTA 6 publishers think PC is of "increasing" importance in 2025, but still won't announce the magic date 2 months ago:
I’ll be buying it, no shame in saying that. Just only once, and only on PC, as long as they don’t block Linux. I’ve waited 10 years for a new installment. What’s one more

SIGH
Gamers if a sequel doesn’t change anything: RAGEEEE
Gamers if a sequel changes too much: RAGEEEE
- Comment on Civilization 7's post-launch plans include free multiplayer and Age features and paid Ada Lovelace 2 months ago:
Thank you, was about to rage
- Comment on Mass Effect 2 Celebrates 15th Anniversary 2 months ago:
The standard gamer right here. Anything different is immediately horrible and should never be attempted. Also a sprinkle of “it’s popular so it’s bad”
- Comment on How good is the performance for video editing? 2 months ago:
Plugging it in may give it more power, but doesn’t triple the CPU power.
- Comment on How good is the performance for video editing? 2 months ago:
Video editing requires heavy amounts of cpu, ram, and is detailed enough where you would want a large monitor with keyboard and mouse most times.
Deck is great for a lot of things, I would say this is not one of them. Can you do it? Sure, you can cook an egg on the back of it while you render for 36 hours. Should you? Probably not.
