  Congrats on the release!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Portal 2 project lead wants Valve to return to single-player games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Same

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alien: Isolation Sequel Has Been Officially Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a very tall order to follow, but best of luck to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resident Evil and No More Heroes creators join long list of devs who think Metacritic is bad for game dev⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Was just gonna make the rotten tomatoes comparison. These types of sites turn a spectrum binary. It’s either fresh or rotten. People might enjoy a game with a polarized critical reaction, but when you check metacritic you see 61 with a sickly yellow color behind the number and an opinionated adjective beside it.

  These types of sites would do better to highlight polarized media in a different way, as most really interesting art does not get universal acclaim. High aggregator scores are really a sign of mass market appeal more than anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European Consumer Organization goes after multiple publishers for their in-game currency⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this group have any teeth, or is this likely a nothing burger?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Making a product is an inconvenience to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first Minecraft movie trailer looks expensively naff⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That article could have been a YouTube comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Today, we have an exciting update: Duncan and Paul, alongside many other talented members at Hopoo Games (maker of risk of rain), will now be working on game development directly at @valvesoftware !"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what’s happening to those not included in “many”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws Is A Crappy Masterpiece⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To an extent that level of beauty in the scenery creates the lackluster gameplay. If you’ve finished one of these jaa dropping environments, only to realize late in the day it’s mediocre gameplay-wise, you simply can’t redo it. It would take months.

  This is oversimplifying a bit, but not by much honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Abandoned Planet is a Myst-like classic pixel-art adventure out now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To me a myst-like would have a lot to do with the aesthetic and also an emphasis on mechanical puzzles without an inventory. Point and click adventure games aren’t all myst-likes, and actually very few are from my experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure go for it, I already don’t buy games at $70. I’ll continue to not buy them higher than that. 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It warms my heart to see how angry people get about subscriptions more and more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activision revive Warzone's Caldera map as open source (yay!) but say it's to help train AI (booo)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That kind of AI is not the same as trendy modern AI. Hurray for everything using the same term for different things!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overwatch 2 may get 6v6 again as Blizzard try to bring back the "chaotic, over-the-top" variety of the first game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It baffles me they didn’t call it 2.0. I don’t think that would have created nearly as much confusion and mockery cause it would have been more accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is recommending homophobic curators.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That far right one is almost self awarewolves level

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sims 4's kicks off the weirdly horny new roadmap with a refresh to base game swimwear⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly it means the sims’ kicks (shoes) off (killed) the new roadmap. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Razer to pay out over $1 million in refunds over its misleading (and hideous) Zephyr face mask⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless fines are percentages, they’re either overly punishing to the poor, or underly punishing to the rich. ✊

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Nancy Drew game Mystery Of The Seven Keys is out in May, thus making my life very slightly harder⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m really happy to hear they’ve made a new one! After the crazy saga that was midnight in salem’s development, I didn’t have much hope that more would come.

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

  Does anyone know why it’s so expensive there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Reader mode is a necessity at this point. I don’t even try to read articles without it anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ad blocker blockers 😑

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats your favorite Main Menu music?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Outer Wilds takes the cake for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, yeah, yeah...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I live weed is 21, tobacco is 18

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deaf⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the insight!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deaf⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a really interesting take to me because I actually have the opposite reaction. I don’t like the subtitles telling what to think about the tone of the music. I like to experience it raw so to speak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deaf⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In all honesty I do actually wonder about this. Any deaf people out there to weigh in? Does having the captions talk about music improve the experience for you? This is not a loaded question, I’m genuinely curious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have another meme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds like a bit on American Dad tbh
