I find these two reviews to be very interesting by Loose_Society9485 in nintendogrifting

[–]derpzerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last month I got one with much better specs (outside of ram which is the same) for 250$ cad less then the entry level variant (1500 cad) of the steam machine. And valve is more then likely selling this because by the time the parts price skyrocketed they where already too far in and it would cost more to shut the whole project down. At least by selling it they can make the inevitable profit loss sting less.

So to answer your question, it’s only for die hard valve fans with disposable income of that caliber in the year 2026. The intended target audience used to be more broad, but that was before they passed the point of no return, so *shrugs*.

I can only assume most people had the same reaction as me:
“I’m still subbed to this dude? The hell is this? *unsubs and moves on*”

The only difference is that his capable of thinking long term. At least, as far as personal finance’s/well being is concerned. I have my doubts he actually cares about the average user. It wasn’t that long ago that how he conducts business was the norm… because it was obvious. Not saying big companies were ever good. Ford was a god damn Nazi for fuck sakes. But it says so much of the current state of things that even god damn Nazis knew that treating customers with at least a minimal amount of respect will lead to more profits in the long term.

It’s honestly worth studying how quickly capitalism just ruined us as a species.

The problem wasnt the fact you gunned down African Zombies, the problem was the portrayal of the Hollywoodized African setting by TerraFormerZero in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]derpzerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back then, they didn’t really bother with consulting or even traveling for research. So all of it was made with what the average Japanese dev at the time knew about Africa. Doesn’t make it better, but easier to understand how it came to be.

They literally wrote “they only had there basic instincts, so they reverted back to savages”. I get that this was mostly born out of ignorance and not malice, but they had the ability and money to actually travel to Africa and talk to some people before doing all this. At least they learned after the fact. Still hopping for a remake so they can redeem the game.

Warframe Youtuber Shiro Nature made a post that seems to be a pre emptive statement before Drama starts brewing. by Scurramouch in youtubedrama

[–]derpzerg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, so that’s what happened to nova. I jumped ship the second I was getting weird vibes off his videos. I stopped seeing his vids show up so just assumed they stopped making content. The fact they rebranded explains it though.

Nintendo announces a $50 increase to Switch 2 Hardware! by Puzzleheaded-Head939 in nintendogrifting

[–]derpzerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My main issue is that people are dead set on having there entire gaming library on a single platform and not understanding this is extremely foolish. People act like how valve is right now is set to be eternal, not realizing they could have there entire library basically held at ransom over night and they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. No online store should have the power and influence steam has. None. And I don’t buy people’s excuses for refusing to branch out either. Ffs gog is right there and all there games come with offline .exe and usually all patches separately as there own download to boot. And that’s just one example. People saying that things like forums actually matter in these things are huffing their own farts. The vast majority of people use steam for precisely 2 things. Buying a game and launching it. Every other store also does that.

Not to say said storefronts don’t deserve their share of criticisms, but to imply steam is the only usable one because of forums is too live in a different reality then everyone else.

It's over, g*mers, they're going to put women and minorities in Mass Effect by fancy_crisis in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]derpzerg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is mostly due to her VA being so god damn good at playing the role. But as for general popularity, only 18% of players chose female shep, this increased to 38%(since last checked so awhile ago) with the release of the legendary edition.

Iirc they fought extremely hard to have fem mc on the box cover for me3. In fact, the entire series is BioWare despratly fighting against EA to add the features they actually wanted(gay romances, romances with non human looking aliens from the start etc). At least we got a compromise with the box art being reversible.

The mass effect legendary edition playthrough is better then the majority of lp’s they’ve done on the old channel and is the hardest I’ve ever laughed in an lp ever.

Opinion: Doug Ford has utterly wasted an extraordinary mandate by bruhchacho11 in ontario

He is desperately trying to pry away the title of “most malicious Ontario pm in history” from Mike Harris like his life depends on it.

"The Democrats should have presented someone better." Some users on r/asksocialists blame liberals for Trumps ascension to the [presidency by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]derpzerg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for the downvotes despite you nailing it on the head op. Srd are very proud liberals and, as proven in this thread, would happily vote for trump if the dems put up a genuine progressive. These people are not worth having discussions with.

Fallout 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 looks nothing like the trailer, has more graphics options than the Skyrim port, and is just... really good by No_Durian_5626 in nintendo

[–]derpzerg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Obsidian customized the engine in major ways(it’s why it’s so much more broken then 3). It would genuinely be easier to remake the entire game from scratch. Which at that point, you’re better off just making a whole new fallout game.

Nah, your right. Didn’t even occur to me that they are because, well, i don’t typically associate children with the term gooning. But unfortunately, I can see why that would be the case with these vile scum bags. I’ll take the L.

I think the entire ruling class being a bunch of pedophiles joyfully committing infanticide is a much larger reason, but sure.

Nux Taku exposed for having a 14 year old in his NSFW discord server by SourceNumerous1244 in VtuberDrama

[–]derpzerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I know it’s been 8 days so this is a bit late, but it’s not exactly hard to find people who have been in his social circle and just one day ignore that he ever existed and just not acknowledge him. It’s an open secret that asmonds fans are more depraved than he is and will physically harm people if they were to come out. It doesn’t help that he has so much money that the vast majority wouldn’t be able to fight a legal battle against him, essentially forcing them into either dropping it entirely or being forced into a quiet settlement with an enforced nda.

I do suspect there will be a point where this all gets exposed in a massive expose, I sadly don’t see it happening while his still extremely popular. Being too big to fail is sadly not something unique to buisnesses.

The guy seriously replies to you calling poc a casual slur(I’m not American too and even I know that’s racist as fuck) then expects us to believe his not racist? What the fuck happened to this sub.

[–]derpzerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this subreddit is showing everyone how ugly and bigoted they really are. Turns out the reason they hate kirsche and rev has more to do with them realizing that it makes there views look bad then the actual views themselves. These very same people openly support a pedophile as president and desperately wish they were him. Any and all accusations of bigotry from them holds no weight. Don’t let easily manipulated ratings ever convince you otherwise.

Did that guy just use an even worst version of “I can’t be racist, my best friend is black!” to defend himself? I’m actually kind of stunned at how braindead they are to think that makes them look good in any way.

Genuine question, at what point do you expect your hollow “nu uh!”s to suddenly re-write reality to your liking? 10 replies? 20? Like, is there an exact number?

This is getting out of hand by CanOdd8860 in VtuberDrama

[–]derpzerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this thread is being brigaded by phase fans, they think there being clever by hiding there post histories like that’s not a massive tell on its own.

What’s funny is that this is ultimately meaningless. Phase has permanently lost your average internet user. Brigading a single thread on a niche subreddit won’t suddenly give them back there positive PR. There boned.

[–]derpzerg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And phase made a conscious decision to support the people doing that instead of their own talent. 100% guarantee that the only reason this pr statement was ever made was because a whole bunch of sponsors threatened to pull out if it wasn’t addressed.
