Hot sauce? Wtf?

FWIW for itch.io the main issue is specifically Stripe this time according to one of their employees.

I’m sure you have your limit too.

Considering this is the very excuse used in practice right now to demonize very real people and take away their rights, I have very little sympathy for this argument that is entirely based on hypotheticals.

No. People should publish all the weird porn they want.

Especially when the perpetrators seem to think it’s harmless.

It is literally harmless. It’s a fantasy.

fucking your favorite cartoon

I thought furries were usually original characters, but if someone wants to fuck Mickey Mouse, good for them.

Stop using children as a stand-in for your discomfort. That is so overdone.

Well then stuff your puritanical BS. Stop making your discomfort towards something that causes no harm into someone else’s problem.

I like Shattered Pixel Dungeon, The Binding of Isaac and Lethal Company, so sure they’re great when done right!

They can add a lot of replayability, but they can just as well very quickly make your game suck more than if it had purposefully made levels. (I think a prominent example of bad proc-gen in general is Skyrim’s radiant quests.)

Is this a real screenshot of him crying about the initiative reaching 100%?

Oh my god more work on the Dark Engine multiplayer. I really hope they finally release the source code for the engine like they promised ages ago with this remaster. Maybe they’re also the ones behind the new mysterious NewDark update?

But look at the typical apple user. Do you think they’re going to be happy without the apple experience?

The Apple experience = locked down devices? If people (and Apple) stopped fearmongering about “security” or whatever, yeah they would, or at worst they wouldn’t care. I’d certainly welcome being able to publish apps on my terms, and being able to install what I want.

Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.

That’s exactly the point. You don’t have to use the parts of a theoretical more open ecosystem if you don’t want to, you can keep using exclusively the official Apple stuff. But it creates more choice for the user if it exists.

Jolla C2 looks pretty interesting.

Pretty much only games that were made pre-permission restrictions on Program Files because they try to write to the install folder. I think that was added around XP/Vista. Anything remotely recent shouldn’t have this problem (especially if it’s the default install directory).

(The error code 0xc0000096 (Privileged instruction) also doesn’t indicate this at all but hey, there’s been weirder cases of errors caused by completely unrelated seeming conditions.)

Looks like my teeth necklace dream might become a reality without having to resort to questionable means.

(Seriously though, this is great!)

Highly recommend this game!

And https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/ (this is the one I’m running myself)

Very likely for me too. My save file is at just over 100 hours right now.

Most of it is fine. It has the typical console port molasses controls (especially when looking at objects).

The big thing that bothered me is the pretty obtuse interrogation system where I’ve resorted to looking at a guide towards the end (you always get the same three choices to respond with, “Truth”, “Doubt”, and “Lie”, with no indication of what your character will exactly say). This seems to be a common complaint, and apparently it got a bit improved in the remastered version which I don’t have.

Still very enjoyable despite this, imo.

L.A. Noire and Persona 5! Both games I started over a year ago, then stopped playing and finally finishing them now haha

Timmy has a personal hatred for Linux for some reason. He keeps shitting on it on Twitter.

RIP bozo. I should play this soon before they get nuked legally, huh. I’ve heard it’s good.

SIGNALIS is a game about romance and I loved it, it is one of my favorite relatively recently released games.

Maybe you’re doing it wrong?

The server list is still there fwiw. But yeah the matchmaking update was awful.

It didn’t do well because EA set them up to fail, as they have for years.

A 32 bit client means even if the game you want to play is 64 bit, you still have to install all the 32 bit system libraries to make it work.

The NT kernel and Win32 API are pretty neat for the most part :)

It’d be great, but they haven’t even ported the Steam desktop client to 64-bit x86 yet*, I feel like we’re going to wait a while for that.

* and that’s not even true, they were forced to port it for the Mac, so they’re just sitting on the 64 bit builds for the other OSes for some reason

Also, they

• Fucked over Unreal fans by dropping the new Unreal Tournament the moment Fortnite took off (this one is personal, I was looking forward to that)
• Fucked over people who bought Fortnite Save the World (the original paid PvE mode of the game) by dropping that the moment the Battle Royale mode took off (this is objectively worse than UT because people paid for this)

Edit: Also want to mention Timmy’s frequent trash talking of Linux on Twitter

When I’m living somewhere where I control my home network again, I’m definitely setting this up.

Last time I got as far as setting up DNS64/NAT64 and then Steam stopped working so I reluctantly enabled IPv4 again. CLAT seems like a great solution for that that I didn’t know about (or didn’t try)

It would be so funny if Apple actually enforced their rule about every app having to work in an IPv6-only environment. Maybe if some of the worst offenders got kicked off the holy App Store all at once to whose every whim they usually answer, they’d actually finally bother fixing their shit.

The only game on my phone! Great game.

Probably not nearly close to top hours though. I haven’t even beaten it once yet.

Oh damn, I didn’t think I wouldn’t be the first to post about Evoland 2 of all games in this thread, it’s pretty obscure, isn’t it. Great game though.

Evoland 2 has a lot of references.

People paid for that original game too, it wasn’t free. I don’t assume they got refunded. It was basically a massive bait and switch.

This is only true for steam keys. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

I’ve got it already from the itch.io page the other user posted. But thanks!

I did not realize this game was this well known! It has a super low player peak and at least last time I looked after I first played it years ago no big YouTube channels had a let’s play of it either.

Lorn’s Lure (currently demo only, releases in 3 weeks)

An android is led through a vast structure by a glitch in his visual system. Lorn’s Lure is an atmospheric narrative first-person platformer with novel climb-anything mechanics and modernized retro 3D graphics.

CONCLUSE

Concluse is an atmospheric horror game which features puzzles, outstanding cutscenes, and something a little twisted…

This one is free! Unfortunately a lot of my niche games are horror, not sure how broad of an appeal that is, but hopefully there’s some horror fans here :^)

Piss off Steam, this sounds hilarious

MOTHERED

An immersive first-person horror adventure where you play the role of LIANA - a young girl who arrives home after major surgery and is met with a strange mannequin claiming to be her mother.

This is part of a trilogy which I highly recommend checking out. All three of these are great.

Evoland 2

Evoland 2 is an unique RPG, with its graphic style and gameplay changing as you progress through a deep storyline based on time travel.
