- Comment on Team Fortress 2 fans have launched a new campaign to get Valve to save it 5 months ago:
It’s incredible. A game released in 2007, that still has active players and servers. If Valve did abandon it (which is totally understandable with its age), I’m wondering if there is a cottage industry of modders selling access to better quality servers.
- Comment on Spyware app pcTattletale was hacked and its website defaced 5 months ago:
Surveillance tools getting hacked, especially ones made for stalking or “monitoring” a individual without their knowledge, deserves what they get.
- Comment on Steam Deck game library now 29% larger than that of Nintendo Switch 5 months ago:
This is a really weird rant. Nintendo and Steam operate in two different markets. Nintendo is on the game console industry. Valve is on PC gaming.
Yes, you can play Nintendo games on PC, and by extension, Steam Deck.
But in no way is Nintendo interested in PC gaming.

- Comment on Despite Microsoft's push, Windows 11 and Edge see decreases in user share 7 months ago:
I havent tried 11, but I hate 10. It’s functional. But the fact that I had to create a Microsoft account to log in drove me nuts.
There’s workarounds. But the constant nagging about needing your Microsoft account is exhausting. Then to use GamePass, it was required.
I’ve switched to Linux on everything except my gaming computer. But soon…

I was originally thinking about this while looking up some background actor.
Like, for many of these folks, these shitty movies pay bills. Many aren’t living a life of luxury. And if you get chosen for a Sony superhero film, And the pay is good, why not take it?
- Comment on CBS Sued by ‘SEAL Team’ Scribe Over Alleged Racial Quotas for Hiring Writers 8 months ago:
I don’t get it. These pasty racists yell “Why not hire the most competent?” Completely obvious that maybe they fucking did, and they weren’t hired because they suck, not because of their shitty worldview?
- Comment on The direct influence of Twin Peaks on Zelda 8 months ago:
In a 2010 interview, Link’s Awakening director Takashi Tezuka revealed the inspiration for this memorably bizarre cast of characters. “At the time, Twin Peaks was rather popular. The drama was all about a small number of characters in a small town,” Tezuka said. “So I wanted to make something like that, while it would be small enough in scope to easily understand, it would have deep and distinctive characteristics.”

I’m pretty confident it’s always the writer who smells an opportunity for clicks, do they write the story first then look for a source.
If they luck out, they’ll find it trending. But mostly it’s the “one person on Twitter” scenario.
The worst part is when the content gets shared.

Love the Siralim games. Very Dragon Quest Monsters feel
- Comment on Grindy games on Deck 9 months ago:
I can’t believe I have a fancy ass gaming PC and played like 50+ hours of Vampire Survivor.
Then bought a Steam Deck and played another 50+ hours of Vampire Survivor.

- Comment on According to Dexerto Ayaneo next handheld is going to use SteamOS 10 months ago:
Its decades of abstraction hell.
In college, we learned about how old certain systems were inside Windows XP. And already, that was getting pretty thick! So when I hear things like Win10 has x feature all that way from Win95, I mentally scream.

Ah crap.
Didn’t realize this post came first: lemmy.world/post/9222778
I searched before I posted, so weird that I didn’t see it.
- Comment on Bungie Devs Say Atmosphere Is ‘Soul-Crushing’ Amid Layoffs, Cuts, and Fear of Total Sony Takeover - IGN 11 months ago:
was with this threat looming that Bungie leadership - not Sony, according to Parsons - made the choice to lay off roughly 100 employees last month.
But the cost-cutting at Bungie isn’t limited to just personnel. Multiple current employees confirmed to IGN that the company has implemented numerous other cost-cutting measures recently, including a studio-wide hiring freeze, reduced travel budgets, elimination of holiday bonuses, keeping its annual Bungie Day virtual, delaying its weeklong company “Pentathalon” event to next December, and reducing numerous morale events such as cooking and knitting classes from monthly to quarterly. Bungie is also pausing or fully ending benefits like annual employee compensation adjustments to meet market rates, its new hire lunch program, employee donation matching, its peer recognition program, and gift cards for employees birthdays.

This game is so freaking good.
But beyond that, the devs are so freaking attentive. This is one of the few developer teams that truly felt like they were making a game alongside the audience.

I wanna see the Martian envisioned where instead of sustaining on pieces of potato, he drinks beer.
I also want to see more pirate-themed rants, preferably drunk.

Just typical greentext BS-ing.
Also the stories they make are equally strange and incredibly specific for no reason.

- Comment on Did You Know? 11 months ago:
I’m actually fascinated by “fiction science”.
Like, how much holy does a mist of water need to cause vampire damage?
Also pondering: what is the range of blessing water? Can a person bless a whole ocean? How much holy energy does a priest need to create true holy damage? Is “holy” in the mind of the beholder, like a business man seeing money as their God and uses a Benjamin as their holy symbol?
