- Comment on Microsoft CEO earns $30.6 million more despite laying off over 2,000 employees in 2024 — salary package represents a 63% raise from the previous year 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think the board pays CEOs according to how many jobs they save. I don’t know where you got that idea.
In fact I’m pretty sure that the more people they get rid of, the better paid they are.

- Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
I had the same problem, having never used a console. I’ve always been using PCs (starting with small 8 bit machines, to a 286, and later to the beasts we currently use (running Linux though). It took me a good while to get used to the Steam deck.
I had no choice because I have no other gaming rig at the moment while my home is being completely rebuilt, so my PC has been turned off for two years now :(.
I’ve gotten better at it, and I’m getting through Fallout on the deck, but I have to avoid some games. For while some games do indeed work better with a controller, others (FPS) are way better with keyboard and mouse.
So all in all, I’m glad that the Deck has opened new possibilities. But the game controller isn’t the ultimate gadget, just another option.

- Comment on Insurgency Developer New World Interactive Shut Down 11 months ago:
I play casually on coop servers from time to time (at level 250 or something). I mostly see it as a fun and not too serious shooter that’s good for a quick game.
I don’t always have the time for a Squad session.

- Comment on Handheld gaming is the future - The Verge Podcast 1 year ago:
Oh, I’d completely forgotten about that.
I don’t really do phone games either. The deck is the farthest I’ve been from proper PC gaming.
- Comment on Handheld gaming is the future - The Verge Podcast 1 year ago:
There’s phones, which have been fairly successful as gaming platforms. Nintendo has ignored that market for now. At least I think so, I’m not really up to date on the console front.
