- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard will let you bring over your choices from Inquisition - whether you still have your save or not 3 weeks ago:
I like this more than the Keep, honestly. It means I can play another playthrough using a different world state the second time without having to import one from another game. Thus benefits both older Dragon Age players who have a bunch of different world states, or new players who want to see the consequences of choosing other world states.
this is so good. I’m amazed it took them this long to make it an ingame thing.
Would be cool if they re-released Inquisition and Kirkwall to have those options as well. (I can dream, ok?! lol)
- Comment on What do you use the back buttons for? 3 weeks ago:
I use them in WoW for tricky keybinds. and in terraria they’re pretty useful as well
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 once had a portable hole, but Swen Vincke says it would have been a "crime against humanity" 4 weeks ago:
if they could let us use that mundane chest the way we used to, we wouldn’t need a bag of holding 😢
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 4 weeks ago:
my steam deck is my main daily device. I use it for most stuff. I own consoles, but its just so much easier to use the deck cause I can keep everything in one place.
steam, emulation, I even use it for youtube. docked to my TV.

if you don’t care, why comment?
also, if you’re not able to differentiate between trash talking and going way too far, then you have far more issues than a simple online misunderstanding.

I am focused on what your saying. your cynicism doesn’t mean the issue is impossible to fix. it just means you’re cynical. but if people could be less accepting of it, maybe things can change.

I think that mentality is what allowed this to happen in the first place.
But if you believe that its ok for someone to tell a teenager they should commit suicide and get raped because they’re female and playing a video game, I want no part of your level of comfort with the vitriol of these harassers.
- Comment on No one should have to “grow a thicker skin”: Valorant studio commit to harsh penalties for harassment 4 weeks ago:
I think if you had experienced the type of harassment I’ve spoken about at length for such a large amount of time, you’d likely disagree.
I’m happy to hear your gaming experience has been perfect. And I severely hope you never experience the kind of harassment many women who game unfortunately have to.
- Comment on No one should have to “grow a thicker skin”: Valorant studio commit to harsh penalties for harassment 4 weeks ago:
see I don’t understand this “take your lumps” mentality. “Don’t use the internet if you can’t handle it.”
there’s a difference between:
“lol you’re ass, bitch. you’re garbage”
and
“I’m going to rape you and I’m going to love it. cry for me. open your mouth for me, whore.”
if you have difficulty understanding the distinction between “trash talk” and straight up harassment and abuse, then I think you’re the one who might need to reevaluate your presence on the internet.
the behavior can be fixed and stigmatized, but voices like yours make that extremely difficult.
- Comment on Jailrat horror adventure Centum was the wrong game to play on this crowded London Underground train 4 weeks ago:
does this journalist have crippling A.D.D. or something? why did he keep talking about the train? lol
it threw off the whole review.
- Comment on No one should have to “grow a thicker skin”: Valorant studio commit to harsh penalties for harassment 4 weeks ago:
I avoid any pvp online game exactly for this reason. if you open your mouth to call out, you just became a target. it’s so normalized now that I have sworn off multiplayer games altogether unless they’re co-op and I can play specifically with friends.
it really sucks.
- Comment on It Takes Two does not require EA app anymore and its Steam Deck Verified now 5 weeks ago:
this is what I was honestly most excited about.

gods I know what you mean. I named my most recent layout “Ugh” out of frustration for it not working well.
thank you souch again!
- Comment on An Easy Way To Copy A Controller Layout Configuration From One Game To Another 1 month ago:
I went ahead and saved this post cause I might need it again later. thank you so much for this.
- Comment on Minecraft is turning 15, so they're giving away some Character Creator items 1 month ago:
it’s even worse if you’ve used any paid items to make your skin with and then say “Hey I’d like to use this skin for java too!” because you’re leaving bedrock permanently and want to take the skin you made with paid elements with you.
because they make it nearly impossible to actually access the skin file without going through hoops just to get the actual skin.
source: my stupid ass paid for a few character elements and it took forever for me to get my skin out of bedrock.
- Comment on What are some mainstream game series where you really do need to start from the first game? 2 months ago:
dragon age as well.
- Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3 2 months ago:
that is true. I tend to usually think in terms of individual gamers, I guess. I’m not very young and 95% of my friends game, so I’m sure I’m some kind of exception.
my original comment was just me agreeing that I’d be interested in whatever they make next and that is true in this moment. I think its ok to be excited for things while knowing it could all go tits up.
life doesn’t have to have reminders that things could suck later. they don’t suck now. and I’m excited for what’s to come.
- Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3 2 months ago:
you’re assuming that I’m not informed about the goings-on and assuming that I’d be loyal to any company for an extended period of time. This is not the case.
I’m simply someone who likes to play well-made games that strike my fancy. And I support the company that made it. And at this time, the company who made it have some views about the gaming industry that I agree with.
You’re trying to hold me accountable for what might happen in future. I’m asking that you respect my intelligence enough to know when I’m being manipulated. I’ve been a gamer a very long time. We know. Which is why I can happily say I’d love to see what Larian comes up with next. and I support them.
I am capable of understanding the difference between fanboy and supporter. Thank you, though.
- Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3 2 months ago:
normally I would agree with you, except this is company that has actually walked the walk. not just talked the talk.
if anything, we should be encouraging more consumers to support companies like this one rather than companies that hurt their interests as a consumer.
brand loyalty can be toxic. surely. but by not backing those that support our interests, we really do them a disservice.
blind brand loyalty is toxic. informed loyalty is a different thing entirely.
- Comment on Larian have two new games in the works, "fueled by the very same fire" as Baldur's Gate 3 2 months ago:
literally. they could make a game about anything and I’d be invested.
- Comment on [SteamGridDB] Pokemon TCG Live DMCA takedown when? 2 months ago:
the only other thing I can recommend is to make your own images for the art using the sizes indicated by steamgriddb. you can apply them yourself but its a bit of a pain in the ass. so i typically just upload my own and use the sgdboop to put them on.
- Comment on [SteamGridDB] Pokemon TCG Live DMCA takedown when? 2 months ago:
this happens a lot on steamgriddb. Nintendo takes down a lot of stuff from the website, but I would just skip over the ones taken down and find one from a more recent uploader.
its why I try to keep an eye on the images I’ve uploaded just in case Nintendo feels like they can stop me. I just re-upload when they do the silly takedown nonsense.
they can’t stop us. just grab another that has been recently uploaded for your game art.
- Comment on Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck? 3 months ago:
it’s my daily device. I watch youtube and anime in desktop mode. I even have some music on it.
- Comment on [Help] Performance spikes in Minecraft Bedrock? 4 months ago:
I experienced this exact same thing and I was never able to find a solution, unfortunately.
I ended up just installing Java edition (prism) with a mod called controlify and that’s been working very well.
- Comment on What games do you use the pads with? 4 months ago:
world of warcraft and Terraria come to mind for me.
- Comment on What "Great on Deck" titles have you been enjoying? 4 months ago:
I have not, sadly. I dearly wish I could help.
- Comment on What "Great on Deck" titles have you been enjoying? 4 months ago:
I’m in the same boat as you are. I have moved all my gaming and emulation fully to the steam deck. It’s just too damn easy to just pick it up whenever.
and yeah BG3 I have to put on hold every now and then cause it just will rip time away so fast. I just get lost in it.
- Comment on What "Great on Deck" titles have you been enjoying? 4 months ago:
I’m with you. I couldn’t get the keyboard and mouse rebind to feel anywhere close to comfortable.
I have only ever played DAI with a controller. So I was very happy that I found the proton-ge version.
- Comment on What "Great on Deck" titles have you been enjoying? 4 months ago:
been hitting Dragon Age Inquisition hard since the controller fix proton-ge workaround got released.
it looks beautiful in handheld and when I play in docked I’m noticing that textures look nicer than they did on my Xbox.
such a fun game. 🤘
