- Comment on Nintendo reportedly look set to net so little from their Palworld lawsuit you'll wonder why they bothered 19 hours ago:
And what is that fucking message, that Nintendo isn’t much of a threat compared to what people thought?
- Comment on Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative" 1 day ago:
I like games that are highly relatable/endless. Story isn’t something I am overly bothered by though.
- Comment on Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative" 1 day ago:
I think some of my most played games are indie ones I bought in the 2010s, Rimworld, Factorio, Vintage Story, From the Depths, Kenshi.
Not sure if I can think of as much that stands out from the 2020s tbh. Valheim perhaps but I don’t feel like going back to it as much as the others.
- Comment on Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative" 2 days ago:
Far more affordable to just buy indie games instead, and you can play a lot of them on fairly affordable hardware. You could make do with an iGPU for a fair bit if you want to keep costs down low enough.

And a % per attempt
- Comment on Gothic remake lockpicking backlash raises the fascinating question of whether anybody really enjoys lockpicking in RPGs 5 days ago:
Kenshi does it pretty well
- Comment on PlayerUnknown's survival game is shutting down 6 months after launch: 'I have reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey' 1 week ago:
It can be shutdown, I don’t want it.

Probably not if it can shutdown.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing 2 weeks ago:
You don’t have to buy games from them though, if it’s at a loss people would start buying them for other uses too
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney throws shade at Valve / Gabe Newell for Steam Deck pricing 2 weeks ago:
What could valve do? They can’t sell them at a loss compared to component prices.
If they tried to target lower budget/spec for some steam machines that might help though. But really have we ever expected people to do much gaming on a £500 system? Sure it’s always been possible but it’s also always been pretty limited.
- Comment on Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic 2 weeks ago:
I am British, what’s credit
- Comment on Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic 2 weeks ago:
The only validation is someone is paying for the energy at this address. They don’t really care beyond that.
- Comment on Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic 2 weeks ago:
I have never had any of them check. I created an account with details they sent in the post addressed to the homeowner
- Comment on Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic 2 weeks ago:
Why would my utilities require age verification? I don’t have or want credit cards.
- Comment on Linux and open source getting age checking exemptions could be problematic 2 weeks ago:
Honestly they can just fuck off. Anti cheat doesn’t work on linux? Ok I won’t play your game. Age verification will be just like that too. You require it? Guess I won’t play then. I’ll vote with my wallet.
- Comment on Steam Controller delivery vent 2 weeks ago:
And if they have half a brain they will insure it through the courier so they are responsible for it being delivered safely. Depends where you live but I think most places it’s the seller you contact as they sent the package and are paying for the shipment.
- Comment on Destiny 2 is getting its final update in June, and the team reportedly face "significant" layoffs as soon as it's out the door 3 weeks ago:
I am sure the team sure feel motivated to release that on time and at high quality…
- Comment on Valve make adjustments to Steam tags, and they settled the Vampire Survivor-like argument with Bullet Heaven 3 weeks ago:
Bullet heaven is often more about making good builds than skills in pressing WASD
- Comment on Steam's NSFW and Mature tags ditched by Valve in favour of "more descriptive" ones like Sexual Content and Gore, as part of wider revamp 3 weeks ago:
Omg did they just use the c bomb in that game? They did! I am going to complain!
Meanwhile at work - hey jack, some cunts on the phone for you!
- Comment on Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners 3 weeks ago:
The war is fighting and taking territory. If you can make more money selling somewhere else then you can buy better gear for the fights.
- Comment on Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners 3 weeks ago:
Why sell to an orgs defined price if it’s worse for me than the open market?
If the price is better then I will just buy shitloads of it from the open market and sell it to them without having to work for it in the first place.
- Comment on Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners 3 weeks ago:
Opportunity cost. Better to get the most valuable stuff you can rather than something just because it was one of yours.
EVE is peak capitalism and warfare. Best represented by the Caldari state - which is a nation of mega corporations.
- Comment on Extraction shooter spinoff EVE Vanguard will let you salvage ships destroyed in EVE Online, then flog the parts back to their owners 3 weeks ago:
I don’t see why anyone in either game would give a shit about the other. Why would I give you your ship parts back? I’ll just sell it at the market rate. You could offer me the market rate but why even bother contacting me for it when the market has them for the market rate already.
Sure it puts the games clearly in the same universe with a shared market. But its just joining 2 spreadsheets together.
Now if the arrangement was sharing the salvage and still living EVE ships can provide fire support to a team getting salvage that could be more of an actual integration between games that matters. Even a small ship in EVE has a bunch of 200mm autocannons with the larger ships going up to a couple metre wide shells.
FPS players could be given some kind of anti ship weapon installation to fight for as their method of fighting back too. Electronic warfare or some torpedo launchers should do the trick - which would look like an ICBM silo to anyone on the ground near it.
- 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 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, designed right I can see it being fine. You can’t kill a rock falling towards you, you have to avoid it. As long as anything that could kill you is something that makes sense you would be unable to kill it then it seems fine to me.
If you can’t kill something that should be easy enough to kick to death then it comes across as odd.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games, Mozilla, EFF and others release statement urging UK policymakers to keep the web open 5 weeks ago:
Not really practical for most of us
- Comment on EVE Online will be used to help train Google DeepMind's AI tech, as company take a minority stake in the former CCP Games 5 weeks ago:
I guess this is to fund another game that no one will play… How much have they spent on trying to make other games instead of making EVE?
- Comment on Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price 1 month ago:
I like my original steam controller but that is a lot. I need some more cheap controllers tbh for co-op games like overcooked. Also need more good local co-op games because it isn’t something I have really bought much of before as I always play on my own or online. But if my partner has friends over we only have my PC.
- Comment on Colorado Age Attestation bill gets amendments to have open source excluded 1 month ago:
So the future is open source or shit. I guess it’s an improvement.
- Comment on MMO space shooter Star Conflict is shutting down 1 month ago:
Oh, the game that taught me spending money on free to play games is a terrible idea.
