- Comment on Dragon Age The Veilguard will be Steam Deck verified and EA app will be not required 4 months ago:
Those launchers are cancer for the Steam Deck. Even trying a Steam Deck verified game started like Star Wars Squadrons was more difficult than it needed to be with that extra layer of bullshit.

Should I… should I fap to this?
- Comment on Google is killing off the messaging service inside Google Maps 6 months ago:
I miss Google Chat. The original desktop application from the time before “app” was commonplace. It had a clean interface, uncluttered unlike AIM, and the voice calls were high quality.
Hangouts was worse than it in just about every way. Nowadays I just use discord since everyone else is using it as well.

If they’re gonna use my cookies and other web based browsing habits for targeted advertising they should at least have the decency to give me a coupon for some actual cookies.
- Comment on Logitech Launches An “AI” Mouse That’s Just A 2022 Mouse With A Mappable Button 7 months ago:
I don’t want an AI button on my mouse, I want the frictionless free scrolling mouse wheel they used to have on a lot of their mice.
And better build quality because their recent mice have had shit QC.
- Comment on Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers to Boost Revenue 8 months ago:
To earn rewards, users must stream themselves, completing an in-game task from the advertiser while at least one friend is watching. Users who watch their friends can then set off on quests of their own.
Yeah this won’t go well at all…

They can go fuck right off then. Just deleted mine.
- Comment on Airbnb is banning indoor security cameras 9 months ago:
Why the hell was it even allowed in the first place? I wouldn’t want nor expect cameras in ordinary hotel rooms.
- Comment on Tomb Raider Remastered devs apologises for releasing an unfinished version on Epic Games Store 9 months ago:
Has the remaster at least improved the super awkward control scheme on the original games?
It’s really obvious when trying to turn Lara in a different direction without walking or running. The awkward steps when rotating.
Or never being able to jump to an opposite edge correctly.

The soundtrack on the original game was so eerie but fit the atmosphere of the game so well.

Not to mention unexpected currents that can either smack you against nearby rocks or sweep you further downward in an uncontrolled manner.

Let’s hope that your government has policies restricting the use of torture.
But if they are engaged in indiscriminate mass surveillance and are a heavily authoritarian police state… they might not care.

Nice.

- Comment on ♫♪♫♪ The Day My Waymo Said Goodbye ♫♪♫♪ 1 year ago:
Car companies can already remotely disable vehicle functionality if payments aren’t made on time (disabling heated seats comes to mind). It isn’t beyond the realm of possibility for a self driving truck to repossess itself to the nearest facility.
This is an absolutely bonkers idea though. What if there is a child inside when the vehicle decides to repo itself?
- Comment on [Discussion] How has the Steam Deck changed your habits with playing video games? 1 year ago:
I do a lot of flying and travel for work and the Steam Deck has been fantastic for it. My gaming laptop can’t draw sufficient wattage from the airplane’s power outlets so I couldn’t use it for gaming in flight, so I needed another solution that wasn’t gaming on my phone (let’s face it, most mobile games suck).
The Steam Deck gives me that extra versatility when traveling. I find myself playing games that I wouldn’t otherwise normally play due to the control scheme. I’m mainly a keyboard and mouse user so adapting to a controller for most things was a bit of a learning curve, but it’s much easier when playing games well suited for it (Ace Combat 7, American Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, FEZ). My favorite though so far has been Grim Fandango Remastered. The controls are so intuitive that it’s like the game was custom made for the Deck (despite the original being two decades old).
I haven’t really played FPS even though there’s a gyroscopic control scheme available, I miss the precision that the mouse enables. Hack and slash in TES 4 Oblivion works well though, but not really with bow and arrow shooting.
I also couldn’t really do RTS for the same reason, even with the track pad like functionality.
It’s great though for side scrollers, isometric RPGs, third person action adventure games, driving games, and simulators.
