lol I have three media IP tattoos: LittleBigPlanet, Halo Reach, and Outer Wilds. Don't really like Microsoft or Bungie at this point, but when I look at my Halo Reach one, I think of the game where I met one of my greatest friends, which then allowed me to meet all the other great people I've met so far. People I talk to everyday. Game changed my life, and I don't even like Halo Reach that much. It's different for everybody. I saw someone with a monster energy tattoo and thought the same thing you do, like why tf would you get an energy drink branded on you. But of course, everyone values different things and something insignificant to me could be life-changing for them.

It takes 2 seconds to put ISAIF in your search engine.

 

The spring steam sale is March 19th. Are there any games that you've been waiting to purchase that you might get then? Me personally I have been looking at Routine and Outer Worlds 2.

Just having easy access to everything on the internet tbh. From games to apps, everything on windows is compatible. Hopefully that continues to change in favor of Linux.

My comment was in reference to the "GOG caught using AI tools" part, not the scam part. I didn't bother to watch the video on the other half of the title.

You've mentioned pursuit of profit and executives cutting costs, but again that isn't a fault of AI, that is a fault of the system. AI is a tool, like any other technology that we've made. I think it's a waste of time to try and stop it, and any effort you put into stopping AI would be better spent on trying to fix/destroy the system that we have as a whole.

All other technology we have created has done what you say AI is doing, so your dislike of AI specifically doesn't make sense to me based on those two things.

The Outer Worlds 2 came out October 29th, 2025 (not even 4 months ago). So for it to already be at 30% 2 months after release gives me hope that it'll go down much more next sale. I'm assuming it didn't sell that well on steam just looking at number of reviews and all time player count peak.

I figured that the new update would come out for the 10th anniversary, but from the interview it sounds like it won't. Eagerly awaiting it to start a new playthrough.

Didn't mind the first one, but you are out of your mind if you think I would pay $70 for this game. Especially after they tried to sell it for $80 at first. Thank god that didn't fly. Fuck you Microsoft.

It's crazy too, because most games that launch for $70, you can just wait 3 months and then they'll have a 30% sale. I will be picking it up this March, should go on sale for like 40%.

I'm actually torn on this philosophy.

On one hand, yea you're not giving EA money, which is a win. But on another, when you don't buy a game like Split Fiction, they make less money on that product. Money is the only thing EA cares about, and they track how much a product makes. So, if a game like Split Fiction doesn't make as much money, they probably would be less inclined to make it in the future. Then we get stuck with shit like Fifa/Apex, since you know people are going to spend money on that regardless.

So in the end I still buy stuff like It Takes Two, because I support that work. That game was amazing. However, I tend to buy them on sale.

What makes you so upset over people "attacking" the AAA industry? Most of the big AAA players release literal garbage, games filled with anti-consumer practices. Not only do they tend to release "unfinished" like No Mans Sky did, but they also have DRM, microtransactions, third party launchers + accounts that take your data. Who cares if they get attacked? I honestly wish people would do more.

I don't really understand what it is you have a problem with.

 

Switched off windows last month to POP OS, though they just recently came out with a new OS featuring cosmic instead of gnome. Has anyone here used it for gaming? How is it? I've read people having issues with it when it was in beta.
