  Why the fuck is this even an article. Fucking hell.

  Why would they do that if they aren't mutually exclusive to one another? I'd get this notion if they'd started to do some sort of alternate way of providing for the SK market where their original platform would have been in the way but why close off profitable branches for no reason at all?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitch Will Shut Down Its Streaming Platform in South Korea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There's no "don't wanna" unless there's a "can't" due to not being able to make a profit. If they could they would. It's simple as that.

  Part 2 ending, especially after that emotionally hellish ride of both titles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What moment from a video game made you cry?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much everything, in both games. Even the damn ending of Part 2. Emotionally brutal ride for sure.

  I was contemplating whether it is a robot or an alien.

  Pretty much everything in The Last of Us Part 1 & 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn't just about the war but just very basic language and definitions of those terms. You could've literally just searched for "prisoner definition" and "hostage definition". Literally less than a minute of work if that somehow was unclear in t he first place. Bad faith questions like his are very common disinformation tactics to paint a false equivalence in order to push certain narratives.

  Your family is just wrong, seemingly on every single shit they say or think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds like a really idiotic bad faith question.
  Hostages are used as meat shields and can be executed at any time, and typically innocent of any crime.
  Prisoners are found guilty of a crime by a court system and then safely put away, since they have still rights.

  It amazes me that covidiots still don't understand the difference between inside and outside spaces for that matter. If people breath and cough around the outside, shit will just be swept away by the wind. If people do that in enclosed spaces, then they'll just start to saturate the air with germs over its prolonged time. And then you even expect them to take off the mask when they're in the witness stand? Do you think that's like a germ free zone? lol

  Yeah. What kind of idiotic accident would even cause this? That's specifically programmed functions to do exactly what it did. That's honestly a mind blowingly bad excuse to make.

  Guess another reason on the pile of shit of why I continue to boycott this trash company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Diablo 4 is coming to Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The D3 issue wasn't that it was "grindy", it was that they tailored & balanced the entire thing around the real money auction house. They fully expected you to waste money there to gear your character to make it through the game (namely the last difficulty where a lot of enemies could just oneshot you from out of screen).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Diablo 4 is coming to Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They actively nerfed xp to make things take much longer and at the same time the end game is very repetitive and even more grind.

  And then expect you to reach level 100 for the season, as well as do 2 additional level ~100 challenges to get the entire season rewards.

  I'm also not sure if I would say the game was good before the higher levels. It was okay, but there were a lot of weak points already showing, like the skill system or the story. The only good thing were the graphics, but even they are weirdly low quality at times, while eating all your vram like candy - regardless of the settings or available vram.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Diablo 4 is coming to Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The only other one I know is from Warframe, which is free but still pretty bad for a number of reasons. I think throwing the rewards into the regular reward pool sounds good, but I'm not familiar with the game so I can't really judge how this actually plays out. In WF they throw the old rewards into a special store that uses currency earned through the battlepass, so you still have to play it and let it dictate your game if you want to buy them. In the case of WF though this whole system came on top of already existing tactics to keep you in the game & playing certain content, like the relic rotations for example. It was like the last drop that eventually made me quit. So it's hard to judge from the outside when I don't know the game, but in general I find such mechanisms terrible. It's sort of like dark patterns but adapted for video games and inherently predatory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Diablo 4 is coming to Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed.
  My first experience was in Warframe, and that one was at least free, but it still gave you timed rewards (FOMO) and dictated when and what to play, which I absolutely hated. Relics already kinda did this shit too, making the game even more of a chore. In Diablo however you even have to pay for it on top of all that. And what do we got for this "live service" bullshit? Half baked and still rare as fuck updates and even worse seasons that I care even less about (which also just serve the same purpose of baiting you into the game through FOMO pressure). I haven't touched the game for like 2 months already and deeply regret giving into my FOMO of buying it, but it is hard for a franchise that I've followed for such a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft claims: Steam Deck Did Not Need Call Of Duty To Succeed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn't that be several million units with the size of Steam's userbase? Of course established consoles are more successful but that doesn't sound like a terrible start, especially for a handheld.
