- Comment on The MSI Claw is an embarrassment 1 day ago:
Those other manufacturers didn’t launch a new controller design. Valve did. It was fine and they learned how to make it great. Valve learned by experimenting with shape, button locations, track pads themselves were entirely new; it must have been a wild time in those hardware labs.
The funny thing is that reviews at the time mentions the track pad as being inspired but under baked on the Steam controller. Valve iterated and came up with something great. AYANEO just had their first attempt. Let’s see how much they learn.
- Comment on Square Enix shifting from "quantity to quality" and be more multi-platform 6 days ago:
It took Squeenix this long to realize that shoveling as much crap as they could out the door isn’t good for long term customer retention? And only now they are aware of the money console games can make when published to PC:
they said clearly in regards to expanding digital sales that “the Group will engage in initiatives which focus on the acquisition of PC users”.
The PC game market is vast and diffuse and no one has the patience for bullshit business. Good luck.

Would anti drone guns work on these?
- Comment on Ant colony RTS 'Empires of the Undergrowth' hits 1.0 in June 1 week ago:
It isn’t nearly as satisfying as Sim Ant.
- Comment on Star Wars: Squadrons is 95% off and also, the perfect May 4th night in - shame the multiplayer's dead 2 weeks ago:
Maybe, but only if the EA client stuff is gone. Having launchers in launchers in launchers is what stopped me from getting Squadrons.
- Comment on Aqua horror sim Barotrauma has an update that makes opiates "less of a solution for everything" 3 weeks ago:
The new Husky curing mechanics are terrifying. Cyanide and sufforin to cure a Husk infection? Brutal.
- Comment on ESA lawyer frets about some sort of terrifying ‘online arcade’ if preservation is made easier 3 weeks ago:
Lawyers only help folks if they get paid. The free option is a public defender and lawyers are terrified of those. Pro bono is a scary phrase.
- Comment on Hellblade 2 will finally show us what an Unreal Engine 5 game can do 1 month ago:
As much as folks hate Fortnite, it uses Unreal 5 and shows all the fancy shaders and tools available. Epic made a big deal out of using Fortnite to show off Lumen and Nanite for lighting.
- Comment on Batman game that became Shadow of Mordor footage surfaces online 1 month ago:
It was. It created an amazing amount of unique stories for each players. I played the game twice but only finished it once. The second time was to make my own villain who became absolutely terrifying to see on the world map. My love for the Nemesis system was cemented by having that orc actually sneak up on me. I could see him wandering through the map and get closer and closer until the pin on the map disappeared - then he jumped out and ambushed me. I’ve never seen anything like it and loved being a badass with a personal bad guy who rivalled me.

This is starting to feel like Great Value Mario and Rabbids.
- Comment on Warner Bros. leave developers feeling "sick and dizzy" as more Adult Swim games are being delisted 2 months ago:
Each development contract is different but they usually follow the same rough structure. The publisher puts up the money for the development of the game. The developers code and make the game. When they are done they give the finished product to the publisher who markets and arranges distribution.
The publisher most likely owns the rights to the game so selling it outside of WB isn’t legal, which stops Steam and most reputable stores. The devs are watching years of their lives being swept under the rug and probably deleted if no one has a copy of the game. WB has not said anything about relisting any games so it’s very possible their work is being deleted forever. They have put in months of crunch to meet a deadline, sacrificed relationships and events to ensure their contributions to the game with the belief the game would be as good as it was going to be. Now it means nothing because the game is going away.
It’s incredibly disrespectful to the time, talent, and energy the developers have put into the game and should sour devs from working for other publishers who do the same. However, shovelware exists because some devs just want a paycheck, so this will probably not stop cut throat devs from making a minimum viable product by a deadline.
Ultimately this is the world we live in: the money owns the rights and so makes the decisions that others have to live by. If you are upset by this, think of a new way to do it and try it out. Be the change.

- Comment on It Fits Perfectly! 3 months ago:
Citrus as a flavor is sour with a bittersweet finish. Ginger has spice notes and a post nasal what that blends well with the bittersweet of the citrus. The sweet orange and spiced ginger flavor hints at Christmas flavors. Overall it’s a solid flavor combo that is most seen around winter holidays.

- Comment on Battlestar Galactica Reboot Moves Forward at Peacock With New Showrunner 4 months ago:
2006 Galactica is incredible except for the last 30 minutes. Having everything wrap up with supernatural incidents that were never hinted at felt like it undercut the visceral 4 season journey before it.
- Comment on I Fact-checked James Somerton 5 months ago:
If he says a thing is a fact but it’s made up, thats called a lie. Just like plagiarizing a career off the shoulders of giants that came before, James Somerton only knows lies.

Fallout was an aesthetic that told super dark stories. How will a TV capture the vignette of nightmares that are the Vaults?
