- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 6 Download Size Revealed To Be 210 GB 1 day ago:
Given prices of hardware these days devs should definitely be better at this.
- Comment on Classic survivor-horrors Ecstatica and Ecstatica II get re-released with upgrades 1 day ago:
Well, I am the wrong person to ask that, we killed it early. From what I remember it only roams the houses, other places you get to later in the game it doesn’t reach.
- Comment on Classic survivor-horrors Ecstatica and Ecstatica II get re-released with upgrades 2 days ago:
Brings back memories. Played Ecstatica with a friend as a teenager, that weird satan demon enemy was super scary to us.
Then we decided to kill the demon. We got that bulky armor that essentially kills you when you fall down, got some sword, then somehow in sheer luck pinned the demon into a corner of a random house and just kept pressing the attack button.
I kid you not, I think it took 20-30 minutes of continuous slashing the demon with a sword. We positioned ourselves so well the demon couldn’t move while we hit it. We took turns pressing the button since it got tiring.
After like 10-15 minutes we thought, what if you actually cannot kill it. Then a while later it actually died and we wondered if it maybe just comes back later. It didn’t.
After that the game was super easy.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 was aiming to offer a "level of autonomy and choice" that could vault it into orbit with Larian and CD Projekt's top RPGs, former dev says post-cancellation 1 week ago:
Well after something like this it is always either the best thing ever or was a total shitshow.

I think they’ve read the Hyperion series written by Dan Simmons and are just parroting how Dan described the Technocore, an entire race of AI entities, got big.
- Comment on Endless pile of Needle In Haystack games begins to emerge, as viral hit imitator's devs claim their code was nicked by a genAI-using clone 1 week ago:
This might self-regulate itself unless those AI copies reach a certain quality. I mean if you are a gamer and its buggy crappy demo after demo, and you can tell that they all copied this one game, wouldn’t you want to test that one rather than all the sloppy shit?
But that does require you to have a way of knowing what the original is.
- Comment on We have reached a new threshold in genAI gloom, with a game dev cancelling a demo for fear of copycats ripping them off before release 1 week ago:
I just watched the trailer and it looks great. But I’ll be honest that it doesn’t really take much to copy this concept, its mostly a filter on the first person view and some bobbing of the camera. The rest is story related, so if you already have a tactical shooter, it doesn’t take that much to get it there. Realistic graphics set aside.

- Comment on A big Steam update brings the Big Art Mode, Screensaver, Steam Controller upgrades, Linux upgrades and more 2 weeks ago:
Big Art mode looks good. Had something similar with a Decky plug-in on my Steamdeck but nice not to have to depend.on it anymore if this looks good too.

They’ll 100% move them somewhere else as quickly as they can.
- Comment on PC shipments fall 20.1 percent in “sharpest decline” since Q1 2023 2 weeks ago:
Are these numbers just for the consumer market or is this also for company-owned hardware? I assume it is all in one since the article makes no distinction.
Asking because of the general sentiment here that all of this is a strategy to get hardware ownership out of hands of the people, but I never understood how any bigger non-tech/hardware-supplying company would play ball with that too.

Oh my goodness. I have been seeing your posts many times and its not something I have a use for but it looks quite well made.
Why I am commenting, I only realised now that the name is not a weird writing of the Russian word for comrade , which when spoken sounds very similar to your progamms name, but is a German sentence saying “I was there”. Mind blown. Sorry for the off-topic rambling.

- Comment on Recommendations for self hosted recipe manager 3 weeks ago:
I mean, likely OP does not want to do that and I hate to sound like a damn boomer, but sometimes the offline solutions are the best. I admit I got a recipe book too and still transfer recipes in handwriting to it.
I only really need it at home and its easy to put in front of me when cooking.

Thanks, I’ll try these. Regarding the second point, I think I had both controllers switched to a similar mode, but need to double check.

It was one of my favourite games I played the past few years. Yet I feel not every great game needs a sequel, here the story is pretty finished.
