The pathetic thing about this is that the only thing of material use that was made from all this wasted money and horrifying ecological devastation that will stand the test of time is a monument to how normalized radical anti-humanist beliefs were right before collapse.

Has anyone considered that Star Citizen is actually a Real Ancient Aliens Invasion Plot and all that development has been to building a warp gate deep under Akron, Ohio?
- Comment on Saleblazers mixes shopkeeping and co-op survival with a fresh patch adding UI scaling for Steam Deck 1 week ago:
I have been having a lot of fun playing this co-op, the shop mechanic is really fun because it makes it so your base becomes an actual center of activity instead of a gameplay deadzone of conquered challenges.
If you want chiller vibes, there is something about Old Market Simulator that really gets me (co-op too).

- Comment on Here's the most played Steam Deck games for April 2025, Balatro still top but Oblivion Remastered sneaks in second 3 weeks ago:
I am such a weirdo, my top played steam deck games are multiplayer shooters, a multiplayer RTS and and a realistic driving game and I pretty much only play with onboard controls usually.
It makes sense why people would love the Deck for singleplayer rpgs, I just don’t make any sense.
- Comment on A few questions before getting a used Steam Deck after my wedding 3 weeks ago:
If I end up using a Dual Schock 4 or a Dual Sense when my Steam Deck is docked, will I have to pair them again with my consoles every time after using them with the Deck?
Just get another used gamepad used if it becomes an issue! That is the beauty of using a computer instead of a console, most gamepads are going to work and with Steam’s controller interface it is easy to select a control scheme that will work well for that controller.

Valheim somehow still feels underrated to me even though it is a massively successful game, it is just so damn good at it’s fundamentals.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - May 2025 3 weeks ago:
Lately I have been mainly playing my usual, Operation Harsh Doorstop. OHD is a free and moddable, big map vehicle and infantry (including helis) multiplayer game like Project Reality but the big difference is that OHD is moddable and so the whole game is a really exciting platform for all kinds of games with functioning client side downloading of mods so you can just connect to a multiplayer server and go!
…steampowered.com/…/Operation_Harsh_Doorstop/
I sing the praises of the game a lot, it has a lot of rough edges but it runs decent on the Steam Deck (keep view distance as high as possible, turn down everything else, lock the max framerate of the deck at like 40fps). Gunplay is fairly realistic, the bipod mechanics are awesome, APCs and AFVs feel weighty and powerful but this is definitely a game where unprotected armor gets eaten for lunch by infantry since… pretty much everybody on the other team who doesn’t have a better plan or wants an smg is strapping a RPG or other form of AT. You have to turn the graphics way down on the Steam Deck… but I just don’t really care? I think the realism of OHD helps in that if you get the drop on someone you will probably win if you are smart, and pretty much any gun in the game can be used in any situation this isn’t some crazy confusing game like COD, Apex or another game with constantly changing gun metas and hyper specific strategies. Just pick a gun and go, it will work great lol.
The real reason OHD is one of my favorite Steam Deck games is flying helicopters on the Steam Deck it is an absolute joy, I mean driving any kind of vehicles is a blast (holy shit I have spent so many hours in Motortown powersliding around corners and I regret none of it lol) too but specifically helicopters become a form of psychedelic drug as your mind locks into flying them organically and it is a thrill to master using helicopters (transport and attack) effectively in a semi-realistic game like this. The skill ceiling is intimidatingly high, both for the crazy variable way you can apply attack helicopters in this game and also for the way you can realistically shift the momentum of entire matches by making effective troop drops with the transport helicopter.
Also if you aren’t looking for a realistic shooter… again this is a moddable platform and there are already mods like casualfield that make the game play more like call of duty or battlefield.
I have shared this game as a recommendation so many times but the reason I am sharing it this time is I ran into another player playing on the steam deck the other day and that was the first time that had happened!
Subscribe to the workshop mod “OHD Vehicle Overhaul” and you can mess around with flying helicopters in singleplayer if you are curious (pick singleplayer then ohd vehicle overhaul for mode and then jaziira for map).

Post-based social networks feel like such an aged-out technology. I’d almost respect it more if they said, We’re building a TikTok competitor and we have engineered the savviest content algorithm of all time.
This kind of thinking is why I still think U.S. tech companies and Silicon Valley in general has still not found the bottom. How pathetic do you have to be to look at Social Media and decide that after For Profit Businesses tried to monetize the idea of digital community spaces and it failed spectarlularly to the point that kids don’t even think it is cool anymore… that there must be no other way and “post-based social networks” are on there way out?
Literally the only thing we have tried is structuring social networks so that they must make a massive profit for investors and are all universally owned by insane billionaires.
You know how you know someone is full of shit? They point to things other people are doing and say “why are they doing that, that isn’t the trend?” when the question at its heart wasn’t about following a trend or not it was about a vision for the future.

- Comment on 12 Nintendo Switch 2 Games You Can Play On Steam Deck Today 1 month ago:
Even if the hardware doesn’t match up, why the hell would I want to spend $450+ on a handheld computer that I can’t use as a handheld computer?
No, I will buy the handheld computer I can use to play games, or choose to use as a handheld computer that I can install whatever software on it I want.
Fuck consoles and corporate control over how you can use your gaming devices, fuck that this ever got normalized.
Buy a steam deck and forget giving Nintendo money.
