- Comment on Thick as Thieves studio does what triple-A won't: keep its game playable 1 week ago:
Yay the scam game can be indefinitely playable!
I seriously can’t tell if these guys are scammers or just incredibly dumb.
- Comment on Palworld Hits Nearly 1 Million Concurrent Players 10 Days After 1.0 Launch 1 week ago:
I’m still waiting for that perfect creature catching game, but palworld can definitely tide me over for now, very fun game. Although i recommend not flying unless you absolutely need to.
- Comment on ZA/UM are set for more layoffs only two months after launching Zero Parades: For Dead Spies 1 week ago:
Good to know people didn’t buy from the usurper
- Comment on Valve aren't putting any exclusives on the Steam Machine because they see "the whole PC catalog as our 'launch exclusive'" 1 week ago:
I’m fairly certain all business degrees or official training is just to indoctrinate the people likely to be in charge later. Capitalism as we know it now wouldn’t survive if any ‘next generation’ ever realized how fucking stupid this all is.
- Comment on With Dragon's Dogma 2's new infinite fast travel, Dark Arisen's director wants you to know they're "not forcing" you to use it 2 weeks ago:
Well, duh. It still kinda undermines what the gameplay seems to be about, though.
- Comment on Fortnite boss hopes to take on Roblox's massive everythingverse with a "very different" massive everythingverse, as Epic unveil genAI-infused Unreal Engine 6 1 month ago:
It’s wild how Tim Epic manages to be the worst person on literally every single thing.

Sounds freaky

Ooh, i hope the music is as good as the first game!
- Comment on "Overwhelming power": Fumito Ueda's giant robot game gets an official title and, wait a minute, is that a gun? 1 month ago:
Looks like a game we’ll have to pirate, unless they ever release it in the pc for real.
- Comment on "One discovers, one guides, and one strikes the final blow": Ikumi Nakamura's new yokai-hunting game Kemuri is turning co-op into a ritual, somehow 1 month ago:
I’m In, but, like, remind me later because i will totally forget before 2027
- Comment on Power of Pride Bundle launches on itch.io 1 month ago:
Gonna need to look at this tomorrow
- Comment on Subnautica 2's no-killing ethos "will be a continued point of resistance" among players, say Unknown Worlds, but they have no plans to change it 2 months ago:
That title kinda gives the wrong impression, i think. The co-founder adopted that position almost as reactionary dogma without thinking it through and it did hurt the game, at least in small ways. The new lead seems to be adopting an actual philosophy for the franchise that can be felt through every aspect. The story of s2 is already incorporating the new mutualistic ideology they want the franchise to have and the lead has already said they plan on touching on why more violence (you already do some by eating) is out of your reach despite being an incredibly important tool.
- Comment on Please Rockstar and Take-Two, push GTA 6's price up to $80 for the good of "the entire industry", Bank of America beg 2 months ago:
Capital C capitalists are the dumbest motherfuckers out there. The price of creating a game is going down, the ceiling is just rising and developers are chasing that ceiling. The market has also grown exponentially, they don’t need to raise prices to get the same profit. Games are already very expensive and the economy is only going to get worse, raising the price will ensure only exceptional games make a profit (or games that don’t follow the stupid increase). Not to mention new forms of piracy means they’re competing against a price point of $0.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2's gun toting, bird flipping, violent sheriff featuring DLC gets a release date 3 months ago:
I’m convinced they expect the Hunter game to fail too. paradox hates the WoD franchise and seems to be trying to undermine it at every possible chance. From the gutting of the books to giving the IP out primarily to unproven studios with no RPG experience, someone at paradox wants the IP to die.

Say less. I’ve been waiting for witchbrook forever, this’ll be great in the meantime.
- Comment on Steam, Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite risk "becoming onramps to abuse, extremist violence, radicalisation or lifelong harm", claim Australian government 3 months ago:
Please, just get a North Korean style intranet if you are going to be such a nanny state.
- Comment on Fortnite developers can make AI characters now — just don’t try to date them 3 months ago:
… What? Wherever, very glad i do not go near epic let alone fortnite.
- Comment on YouTuber who showcases "adult-oriented" Resident Evil Requiem and Stellar Blade mods claims Capcom's laywers asked him to take down over 1,000 videos 3 months ago:
Japanese copyright is demonic, although that does not in any way excuse Capcom for using it.
- Comment on Whip out your old film camera and enter a Makoto Shinkai-esque world in Opus: Prism Peak, which is out today 3 months ago:
Magical realism and a camera? Say less

Welp that erased the comment about AAA and art
- Comment on Following mass layoffs, Epic are reportedly putting their hopes on a Disney extraction shooter 3 months ago:
I would call that doomed to fail, but Disney adults are weird, obsessive, and have absolutely no taste.
- Comment on Warren Spector's Thick as Thieves gets a bit less interesting as it ditches PvPvE for solo and co-op play 3 months ago:
Well that just killed most of my interest.The pvpve thievery was a unique selling point that would have gotten me into even a kinda mediocre game, now they’ll need to provide diamonds if they want my attention.
- Comment on Game Pirates Beat Denuvo with Hypervisor Bypasses — Irdeto Promises Countermeasure 3 months ago:
No, you trust whoever you got it from. Either to not tamper with the game, or ensure it wasn’t malware to begin with
- Comment on Game Pirates Beat Denuvo with Hypervisor Bypasses — Irdeto Promises Countermeasure 3 months ago:
On the one hand I’ve already trusted fitgirl with my computer and therefore my life, on the other hypervisor seems sketch even from a trusted source.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 translator claims Warhorse have laid him off in preference of using AI going forward 3 months ago:
Here’s hoping this ushers in a new golden age, a time of fansubbers and pirates.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 translator claims Warhorse have laid him off in preference of using AI going forward 3 months ago:
A clanker won’t understand the nuances that make a script readable, maybe it’ll be able to handle an extremely basic conversation better then a simple direct machine translation, but any abstract language is going to be butchered.

Man, krafton is impressively bad. A real stand out in an already bad industry.
- Comment on "People were just not ready for" Starfield, says game's composer as he talks "visionary" Todd Howard 4 months ago:
I wonder if the bethesda boys are actually this delusional and/or narcissistic or of its some crazy front they think looks better than just being bad at game development.
- Comment on [TheGamer] Pokemon Pokopia Has Gamers Wanting To Upgrade To A Switch 2 4 months ago:
The game looks better than the usual Pokemon slop, but it’d take way more to convince anyone to buy an entire console.
