It’s not about me liking it or not. I don’t even have that game. The point is that one should play games fitting ones abilities. There are people who will master this game, like I mastered Elite about forty years ago. Complaining about a game being difficult is either they overestimated their abilities, or they lack perseverance.

For the rest, there is always tictactoe or animal crossing.


Kids crying because a game is not a walkthrough? Maybe they should play something more suitable for their age group.


American Truck Simulator? Why? Desert Bus already exists.


Aim at foot, pull trigger. What company lets such an opportunity of free showcasing and advertizing run through their fingers?


That’s not a statement. It’s just a lame excuse and attempt to escape the blame for their behavior.




I’m expecting many services to accept alternative payment methods soon, just to beon the safe side from meddling ex-monopolies.


Just after a message that stated how AI developed software deleted the main database and lied about it. Really builds trust and confidence into AI-based projects.


Make boring shit, get no love from the community. It’s as easy as that.



Oh yes, Loderunner. And Castles of Dr. Creep!


I burned so much time with those games. Where will it be published, and how much will it cost?


Someone so disconnected with reality should not represent anyone.


Thanks. I moved it to the right spot. Congrats on finding out where it actually belonged from the few clues!


“Minecraft Killer”. For that, it should have been released first, shouldn’t it?

And even if it was a super mega game, it might just find a niche on its own.


Just a normal US politician. They lost all connection to reality ages ago. Take his ID papers away and let him survive on minimum wage jobs somewhere where nobody knows his sorry face.


No, we should see that they are made illegal.


For some time I used Minecraft as a mindnumbing tool. I dug a huge underground structure with stone pickaxes. I had some chests of wood down there to make new pickaxes, chests, and torches, and dug an underground space of several square kilometers, 30ish layers high.


That might be true. For party games or Animal Crossing, the Switch is still the top choice. For the non-casual gamer, though, it is way to limited.


We will see. The big advantage of the SD is the ginormus library of games that already exist, the advantage of the S2 is that they have the Nintendo exclusive titles that have a good and solid fan base. With the S1, it was a no-brainer, the other consoles were limited in their game selection with a small hand of exclusives, and they were more expensive than the S1. The S2 is not far from the SD in terms of price. So this time, there actually is competition.


The key problem for the Switch 2 will be to compete with the Steam Deck. While a good Steam Deck is still a bit pricier, there are a myriad of titles, and the vast majority of them are much cheaper than the 70-90 price point targeted by Nintendo.


Well, it is their money they are burning. Good luck with that.


Well, performance-wise, you cannot beat Intel and AMD at the moment. Then there is ARM, which is strong, especially if power consumption is an issue. And it is closing the gap to the top. Bonus: ARM has a range from simple M0 cores to GHz multiprocessor chips. Where is RISC-V on that scale?

Compare ARM performance: https://browser.geekbench.com/search?utf8=✓&q=ARM with RISC-V performance: https://browser.geekbench.com/search?q=RISC-V and you’ll see that RISC-V has a looooong way to go before it can be considered relevant.

RISC-V has it’s place, no question, but don’t expect servers or workstations anytime soon. At least outside China and Russia…




Looks like it is not any smarter than the other junk on the market. The confusion that people consider AI as “intelligence” may be rooted in their own deficits in that area.

And now people exchange one American Junk-spitting Spyware for a Chinese junk-spitting spyware. Hurray! Progress!



That’s the point. I don’t think RISC-V is coming even close to high-performance ARM chips, so building a laptop around RISC-V instead of ARM makes no sense to me.


What I have seen about RISC-V is not exactly promising performance-wise. At least not for a laptop or desktop PC.

I can see ARM-based laptops, or products like the RPi 500 (once it supports M.2 sticks and 8GB RAM, hopefully more one day), but RISC-V is not there yet.




Braben & Bells “Elite”. The original one on the C64.



I’m outing me as ancient:

  • M.U.L.E.
  • Load Runner
  • The Castles of Dr. Creep
  • Seven Cities of Gold
  • Paradroid
  • The Sentinel
  • Hanse / Kaiser / Fugger


The “priorities list” has only two entries: a) make money with it and b) make it in a way that we can make a sequel to make more money.


Does this mean there will be a professionally recorded “Order!” mp3 somewhere?


Where is the point? One is a dedicated GPU, the other is an integrated graphics engine. One is for gamers (or was many years ago), the other for people using Word or Excel.


I draw the line right behind them. Where the real search results start.
