Wait, but if they pulled the game from Steam shouldn’t the owners still keep the game (DLC in this case) on their libraries?

Falcoms sound team was absolutely on point for this title.

They always are, if there’s one thing Falcom does consistently well it’s the soundtrack.

Retconning the only modern Fallout game with a decent story and good writing as opposed to all the garbage they put out.

Never change, Bethesda.

Mods are definitely the one thing giving their games longevity, nobody would be still playing Skyrim or Fallout 4 nowadays if it wasn’t for the plethora of mods. In fact I feel kind of sorry for people playing on console, because the vanilla experience is just mediocre as fuck.

Honestly this whole thing was a massive disappointment, 30+ announcements and of those only 4 new games while everything else were minor (often meaningless) updates and release dates of early access games. Maybe it’s time these game showcases went away as a whole, they’re never good.

They made an attempt at a big splash recently with plans to create a Linux-powered system to rival SteamOS (Steam Deck) and Windows across various devices and multiple stores.

Okay, that’s cool…

The first device has been announced and it’s some weird web3 thing.

… Oh.

Honestly I doubt this is going to change how games are made, I’ve seen this one opinion floating around that if this thing goes forward only the wording on the marketing will change and knowing these companies I agree. Products will become services, ownership to leasing, buying to subscribing and so on.

Free and without bullshit is a tough ask, you’re not gonna find many games like that. I do have a few recommendations though:

  • Mindustry
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon
  • Endless Sky
  • Pathos

You could also download Retroarch and some roms, it would require some setup but once done it works like a charm.

Just once I’d like to hear “game runs like a dream, even a toaster can handle it”. There’s this unnecessary need from big publishers to keep making games even more demanding with every release, they run like shit on consoles and you need top of the line hardware on PC, all the while the gameplay has been stagnating for the last two decades.

Say what you want about Nintendo, I personally loathe them, but at least they seem to have got the message that you don’t need to melt your system to have a good time. If there’s one lesson I’d wish other publishers would learn it’s this.

Restricted is a strong word considering they’re a billion dollar company, they deliberately don’t want to focus on graphics.

Got the two DLCs for Melvor and that’s probably that. Although I’ve been eyeing both Oxygen Not Included and Blood West ngl.

Township does seem rather tacked on I agree, outside of the tasks there isn’t much to do and it doesn’t reward you enough to justify the money sink. Quite frankly, there’s a lot in the game that seems rather pointless outside of getting to lvl 99 (120 with DLC), but I guess that’s the point.

Brazil military leaders told police Bolsonaro plotted to remain in power despite election defeat (apnews.com)

SAO PAULO (AP) — Two top Brazilian military leaders declared to police that former President Jair Bolsonaro presented them a plan for him to remain in power after the 2022 election he lost, but both refused and warned him they would arrest him if he tried it, according to judicial documents released Friday....

At this point I’d be surprised if the US actually wasn’t involved in an attempt to coup a government, not just in South America but any part of the globe. It’s like their second favorite past time, just behind getting involved in as many wars as they can.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You shouldn’t considering Bolsonaro from the start has copied literally every single action from Trump’s playbook, and it’s not even a secret since his mentor, Olavo de Carvalho, was a batshit crazy fascist based in the US and taking notes on all the abhorrent things Republicans were doing the past two decades.

Oh and not to mention the CIA and FBI were in cahoots with his government no less, because of course they were.

I should’ve worded myself better, I lose sympathy for the person doing the defacing, as in I don’t care about what they have to say and I could care less if they get in trouble for it.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Sure. But I still think the destruction of art is destruction of history, regardless of how someone feels about it. If you don’t like it in public, then it’s better to take it down and store it somewhere else for preservation purposes if nothing else.

In Japan PCs always had this weird association with porn, and Japan wouldn’t be Japan without all the antiquated traditionalism, so PCs fell out of favor for a while. Now that they’ve noticed PC as a gaming platform prints money in ludicrous amounts they’ve started changing their minds… So it’s a matter of time until the boomer execs get a stroke or something and younger people take their jobs, really.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Weird, considering how low quality Japanese porn games usually are, and how big the porn industry in Japan generally is.

This is precisely the reason why though, in Japan porn games have existed since the introduction of the home computer and they flourished because of the lack product standards in the platform. With the release of the Famicon, consoles started getting really popular to the point where many devs and consumers stopped buying PCs for gaming, and since Nintendo (among others) enforced strict standards porn games obviously weren’t allowed on their platforms. After a while, because of this shift most games available on PC were Visual Novels, many of them having porn in it in some form or another, so the platform got increasingly associated with pornography and a stigma was created.

Dredge comes to mind. It’s a nice game and all, but outside of the two endings (which are basically a choose left or right situation) you see pretty much everything there’s to see in a single playthrough.

I love Doom 2, it’s one of my favorite shooters in part to it’s modding community. The official episodes are all fine and dandy, but some of the megawads people have made in the past truly elevate the game to a whole new level. Case in point, Eviternity 2 is absolutely amazing.

Can’t wait for the day Discord backstabs everyone and people decide to get the fuck away from it. I seriously can’t stand having to search past troubleshooting messages, it’s a fucking mess, almost unusable. Whoever uses Discord as a Forum seriously needs a full force punch in the mouth.

This is crazy, between this and Gearbox leaving they’re almost dismantling in front of our eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like this in the gaming industry, at least not in this scale.

I mean, if nobody was playing the game before then even one person playing it now is actually “record player engagement”.

If you have more than a couple of neurons you don’t need me to explain why I hate Nintendo, unless you’re a corporate bootlicker who thinks Nintendo can do no wrong. If you really can’t fathom why anyone would hate them, then all you gotta do is Google “Nintendo anticonsumer” and you’ll have reading material for the whole week.
