- Comment on No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve 5 weeks ago:
This is a reply by a lowly employee completing a support ticket. Just because the circumstances are different, they won’t do much asking around and treat it the same as someone asking “can I give my account to my brother”.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account 1 month ago:
There’s no reason, since the game worked fine for so long. They say it’s for security and thst they can’t ban specific people because steam has duplicate nicknames. Which is bullshit, since steam had steamid and other identifiers that let you identify the specific account.
It’s just corporate greed to 1. show shareholders there is a ton of psn accounts and that the console is doing fine 2. Sell that data to someone.
- Comment on Owners Report Valve’s Priciest Steam Deck Model Has A Cracking Problem 2 months ago:
It’s a problem with all plastics. Holes are stress concentrations. With the plastic flowing around it, two plastic “fronts” meet in the middle and need to meld into one piece. That spot is usually around 70 -80% strength in there. Add in the stress riser I mentioned earlier, and cracking happens. Same thing on sharp angles.
- Comment on NYC’s government chatbot is lying about city laws and regulations 2 months ago:
Yeah, until that happens, it is free. And then, prove it happened.
- Comment on NYC’s government chatbot is lying about city laws and regulations 2 months ago:
Cause it doesn’t cost money.
- Comment on US fines man $9.9 million for thousands of disturbing robocalls 3 months ago:
Coulda shoulda. They didn’t. So the next best time is now.
- Comment on Security footage of Boeing repair before door-plug blowout was overwritten 3 months ago:
Not how it works. They are innocent until proven beyond a reasonable doubt, that they are guilty. Not having a recording doesn’t make them guilty. The recording itself though, probably would.
- Comment on Tribes soars out of the grave once again with Tribes 3: Rivals entering early access next week 3 months ago:
It’s dead on arrival. Tiny playerbase (and rifght now free 2 play) and they want ridiculous money after release. Also the early access is supposedly “finished core gameplay”, with them having two modes. No vehicles.
Honestly, mostly a cash grab.
- Comment on Nick Offerman Slams ‘Homophobic Hate’ Against His ‘The Last of Us’ Episode: ‘It’s Not a Gay Story. It’s a Love Story, You A–hole!’ 4 months ago:
By literally the OP above? They were specifically asked how would they clarify and they responded as a “gay love story”.
Buddy, you can be angry about whatever you want, but it is not “irrellevant to the plot” that there is a relationship between two people in the series. It is not irrellevant that it is between two men or two women. They can desribe it any way they want to, and it is not reductive to call it a “gay love story”.
- Comment on Nick Offerman Slams ‘Homophobic Hate’ Against His ‘The Last of Us’ Episode: ‘It’s Not a Gay Story. It’s a Love Story, You A–hole!’ 4 months ago:
It indicates that it is a love story between two black people. You drawing attention to it as if saying “black” is some forbidden, taboo word / description is the problem.
- Comment on Nick Offerman Slams ‘Homophobic Hate’ Against His ‘The Last of Us’ Episode: ‘It’s Not a Gay Story. It’s a Love Story, You A–hole!’ 4 months ago:
Because they were asked to specify what kind of love story it is?
- Comment on Twitch Will Shut Down Its Streaming Platform in South Korea 6 months ago:
Or just remove what’s costing you so much?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Has Been Completed by 1.3 Million Players, Shadowheart is Most Popular Love Interest 6 months ago:
Bad rng ruins games. When it’s done correctly, it’s fun. You have to seperate what’s fun from what’s not. It’s fun to hit a 20 and instantly delete something form existence. It is not fun to “do everything right” and still be punished for it.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator confirms he's made "a ton of progress" on update 1.6 6 months ago:
Indie devs: suddenly I’m a millionaire thanks to this one-hit-wonder game that I spent 6 years making. I think I’ll keep updating it so people keep buying it. AAA companies: We need to pay 400 people over a course of 2 years. 30 million is less than 10% of the budget
- Comment on Star Citizen Just Had its Biggest Crowdfunding Day Ever With $3.5 Million in 24 Hours 6 months ago:
I can’t play Squadron 42 like promised - ergo it wasn’t delivered. Stop being a fanboy when a fact is a fact. It’s an absolute truth, you can’t change it by weasiling around it.
- Comment on Star Citizen Just Had its Biggest Crowdfunding Day Ever With $3.5 Million in 24 Hours 6 months ago:
Pretty sure I said “singleplayer” in response to you saying “they are delivering the product”. Which is false, since I can’t play it.
- Comment on Star Citizen Just Had its Biggest Crowdfunding Day Ever With $3.5 Million in 24 Hours 6 months ago:
Are they delivering the product? I was a kickstarter backer, and still don’t have the singleplayer campaign that was promised. How long ago was that?
- Comment on How did money work on deep space 9? 7 months ago:
They can in TNG at least. There is an episode about people being cryogenically frozen in the past, because of uncurable illnesses. They unfroze them, and one dude ordered alcohol. He even said it was the best glass he has ever had.
- Comment on How did money work on deep space 9? 7 months ago:
Also, you can get groceries and make your own dinner. Why would you ever go to a restaurant?
Going to a bar is most likely about the atmosphere, the people there, just as much as it is about the alcohol
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 7 months ago:
No, it doesn’t.
- Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games 7 months ago:
Because I like games that look good, plain and simple. I’d be playing boomer shooters otherwise
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 7 months ago:
Can I create a shitty service that only me and my brother use, and then sue Steam cause they have more players? It’s a dumb lawsuit, plain and simple
- Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games 7 months ago:
And can you remake all of the assets in 4 months?
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 7 months ago:
The same right as epic games has to prevent a game from going on Steam, or anywhere else, for the first year.
- Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games 7 months ago:
Or maybe don’t make an ugly game, that works too
- Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games 7 months ago:
You do realize the release date is q1, 2024 right?
- Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games 7 months ago:
Okay, I do. I don’t want to play an ugly game when there’s so many great looking ones out there.
- Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games 7 months ago:
Not how it works. They have assets already made. You don’t redo character models, weapon models for a beta release. At best you use stand-in models, when it’s not important to look good. This isn’t a stand-in model, replacement or anything else. A spinfusor is a spinfusor. It has all the animations, all the textured. Game has motion blur even.
Best that’ll change is the lighting, explosions etc. But the map is already looking bad for 2023, so do the models. I’m not holding my breath for better visuals.
- Comment on I feel like I need a separate body towel (big towel), and 3 other small towels for hair, face, and hands. 4 towels in total. Is that normal? 7 months ago:
The thing that’s not normal is that you don’t have a seperate towel for your ass, but you have two - for face and hair. I guess you do you
- Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games 7 months ago:
Kinda looks like the old tribes. Can’t they make something with good graphics? Even Ascend was outdated and this seems like it
