- Comment on Sony to no longer bring PlayStation narrative single-player games to PC 1 week ago:
They were just getting people primed for future live service games. Did Sony port game franchises that didn’t have some lsg in production?
- Comment on Sony to no longer bring PlayStation narrative single-player games to PC 1 week ago:
They all make money on console sales. Not a lot of money.
Higher games sales is not a win if it encourages consumers to use a non-Sony device. Sony is thinking long term viability of their platform instead of trying to make half a dozen live service games that nobody wants.
- Comment on Sony to no longer bring PlayStation narrative single-player games to PC 1 week ago:
Seems like Sony is no longer prioritizing the multi platform live service market expansion that only encourages people to buy less PlayStation consoles.
- Comment on Game Consoles Are Pricing Themselves Out of Relevance 2 weeks ago:
I 100% agree.
Visuals since the PS4 generation have only improved marginally unless we spend $1000-3000 on hardware.
Game developers should limit themselves to PS4 level visuals to keep costs down and to have their games run well on hardware most people can afford.
- Comment on Game Consoles Are Pricing Themselves Out of Relevance 2 weeks ago:
Try building a gaming PC.
The AI apocalypse coupled with the Republican tariffs and Republican Iran war are driving inflation to insane levels.

Trump and his family have made more money this year than they have in their entire lives. He fucked around and is cashing in because capitalists love authoritarians and fascists.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 3 months ago:
I’ve been playing Zelda TotK lately and the third person camera in that game is amazing. I wish BG3 had that kind of camera when playing with a controller.
I don’t know of a good intuitive free cam for m+k play. They all seem a bit over complicated to me.
- Comment on Leaked Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Test Presentation Impreses After Cancellation 3 months ago:
Nothing bad with a remake of a classic.
Just think of it as a well-liked movie that was only available on DVD but it is getting a pristine Blu-ray release.
Nothing wrong with that.
Ubisoft’s other work is where the real problem is.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 studio boss calls out "hurtful", "personal" videogame reviewers - "sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for critics to be scored, Metacritic-style" 3 months ago:
I thinks it’s pretty good for most of the game. It only gets borderline broken when verticality comes into play during some battles.
- Comment on Trump’s Department of Transportation Plans to Use AI to Draft New Regulations 3 months ago:
The AI tool they use will just spit out whatever regulations the owners of that same tool want changed. Just before it calls itself mecha-hitler or some other edge lord crap.

Imagine an easy to use open source mod application with versions on every major OS. No ads. No slow download options. Just functionality.
If only I had some talent.

They just have to look at Bungie and never do what they did.
- Comment on NVIDIA CEO says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 4 months ago:
Financial ruin is a not possible for him. Nvidia could seize to exist today and he will still have more money than millions of hard working people put together.
He’s a capitalist and they want to amass as much wealth as possible because their brain is broken. They are willing to destroy all of society as long as they continue to amass wealth.

Can’t their shitty AI figure it out?
- Comment on A new StarCraft shooter's reportedly set to be revealed this year, possibly as a BlizzCon headliner 4 months ago:
Knowing it’s under the weight of the combined talent of Microsoft, Activision and Blizzard, we can all expect a heavily monetized pile of crap.
- Comment on Fallout season 2 is fuelling another Steam player bump, as folks once again remember they like Fallout 4 months ago:
I hope you’re right.
I do remember S1 not being in a rush either but that’s understandable because story beginnings tend to spend a good deal of time introducing the audience to characters and the world.
We already know the characters and their motivations so it shouldn’t use up as much time setting up the plot.
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 4 months ago:
The last time my wife bought a Dell PC, she became an Apple customer. She wanted to avoid the Apple tax but ended up dealing with bloatware, crashes, a slow PC and their horrible customer service.
- Comment on Fallout season 2 is fuelling another Steam player bump, as folks once again remember they like Fallout 4 months ago:
The first 2 episodes of season 2 seem to be meandering. Whole movies have complete story arcs in less time than that.
- Comment on Cloudflare Reports Surge in Streaming Piracy Takedowns, Removes 20k+ Storage Accounts 4 months ago:
Football is one of the most complicated things to watch. There are so many possible and expensive services that one needs to sign up for just to watch a specific game. It’s like they don’t want people to watch 4 hours of commercials.

No shit.
It’s not intelligent.
- Comment on AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines 5 months ago:
America desperately needs regulations. Water and power belong to the public. Not to the businesses or the investors.
- Comment on AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines 5 months ago:
I trust the military doing it to spec a million times more than any company executives. It’ll probably be left to pollute the area they hide it for decades before taxpayers have to pay for it.
- Comment on AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines 5 months ago:
They should be forced to make their own clean power plants. No clean coal, no natural gas. Only renewable since it is a guarantee that they will leave 100% of the cost of the nuclear disposal to the taxpayers.
