TIL, the threadiverse has a lot of .zip communities.

I wonder if they’ll be larger after I unpack them?



Do I have to start playing games with loot boxes before I can start boycotting them?

The only one I’ve ever played was overwatch, but overwatch 2 is garbage, so…


Well, I have the ultimate defense against ransomware, full disk backups. Honestly, with automated backups, the whole world is a little less scary.


I don’t really use the browser on that machine. It still has basic virus protection, and such.

End of security support is no joke.

Well really… that all depends on if you’re laughing.




They do more Linux and Mac porting than any other company I know. Back in the day I believe they were actually game developer, but they seem to have become specialized in porting games specifically.


I’ve been playing a lot of terraria with my son recently, it’s been a lot of fun going back to it. Coincidentally, I just saw the trailer for Noita for the first time last night, and thought “woah, that looks cool as hell…”


Well that’s been my policy so far. Since there are literally no controls whatsoever over the content in Roblox, it looks like my kid will be old enough to play Halo before he’s old enough to play Roblox.

I have no problem with this, there are a lot of games out there.



But does the texture artist need to talk to the modelers? Of course. Do they need to talk to people in sound design? Maybe. What about game engine and programming? Maybe. What about writers? Maybe.

The fact is, you’d probably have a better product at the end of the day if everyone were able to coordinate their efforts.


This is… A whole lot of games.

I did love tunic, fantastic game, easily worth that price on its own.

I’ve never played cook serve delicious, but it’s been on my radar. I’ll have to give this a shot. Heh, there are some tabletop games and rulesets on this list, could be some hidden gems in there. Honestly, this is a big enough bundle to be worth just buying on principle, and sorting it out later. So what if I don’t end up playing 400 of these titles, if I end up liking 10, that’s a fabulous deal, and all for charity!


I suppose that would be unfortunate. But it hardly matters in the long run. I mean, it might be better. I believe the game is still available for purchase as an “early access” title, despite the unfinished state and completely halted development.

It would certainly be better to not list it at all than to imply that it will eventually be finished and allow people to continue purchasing it.


Wow, that is not in any way “the latest” on ksp2…

The KSP2 ip was sold to another company. All development has ended and the devs were all given a gag order, leaving them unable to even update their resumes to list ksp2 as a previous project.

The show is over.



I would argue that that’s the optional game mechanic.

The main game mechanic is that it’s a Zelda-like hack and slash (with some more souls-like bosses). The secondary game mechanic is its secret puzzle system and then finally if you get through all that, there’s still this language you can decipher to solve the very last puzzle.




Seems like a great replacement option, should the screen on your steam deck ever break.



This giveaway last time was the reason I installed the epic store. All I can say is that I have no regrets. Control is amazing and it’s absolutely worth swallowing your pride to play this amazing game for free.


I played Wow for the first 3-4 years after its launch.

I had a part time job back then, but otherwise I was playing wow. At some point my /played time passed a year, after that I refused to look. I don’t know if it ever got to two years, but I fear it may have…


It’s worth playing, I’ve been playing the hell out of this game for the last month.

If you want it in a more convenient way, it’s probably $3 on steam now (at least it was during the autumn sale).

Edit: at time of writing it’s $4.79 on steam, still a steal.




His book Dragonfall is one of my favorite books ever.

Sorry my brain stopped working, it’s called Fallen Dragon.


A long time ago now I spent over 10,000 hours on world of warcraft. I wouldn’t really recommend getting into it now though, I think the magic is gone.


Yeah, but then it kept working, so I kept windows 7 installed.


And then you have to field uncomfortable questions with your kids when they ask about whether piracy is stealing. Or worse, the judgment from other parents when your kid brags to all his friends about having all the games and they don’t even pay for them.



I’m pretty sure there were flying mounts even before Skyrim. Hell, go all the way back to joust.


I’m a bit curious too. My theory is that it may have come down to licensing and trademark issue. Since the game used actual car brands and their logos and such, they may have had some agreement over their usage and perhaps the period of that agreement ended. It’s worth noting that the game was available from several different stores, and it became unavailable everywhere as far as I know.


Well that’s certainly good news! And I admit I wasn’t aware of that announcement.


No, you need to install them as well. It’ll work as long as it’s installed, but after they’re delisted, I don’t think steam can even distribute them.

I know I have at least one game “grid: race driver” that was delisted from steam, at some point I must have uninstalled it, and now I can’t download it, it doesn’t even show up in my library. I’ve been trying like hell to find a way to play it, but even pirated versions are being difficult.

Edit: judging from comments and downvotes, apparently this is rare? But it does definitely happen, I’m not making this example up. And I don’t know how you could predict whether a game will just be unavailable for purchase or totally disappear…



So, as far as I can tell, the primary difference with this version of the game is that it uses question registers?

What does that mean, functionally?

Like how does that affect the software? How would the software run on an actual quantum computer?



Wtf… There’s no narrative or throughline, it’s just like… if you distilled “unsettling” and put it on paper.

Well, successful art I guess, it made me feel things…


Why isn’t it targeted at the entire fanbase?

Is that a serious question? Because the answer is obvious…

Ok, let me start out by saying I have an 8 year old, and he fucking loves Minecraft. And hey, I played the game a bunch back when it was in beta and I was like 25. But I did not love the game the way that he loves the game… He’s obsessive about Minecraft, some days it’s all he talks about. How many adults do you know like that?

And here’s the real question, when’s the last time you bought Minecraft merch for yourself? Because my kid has a Minecraft lunchbox, a Minecraft hoody, a Minecraft Lego set, some Minecraft figurines, and of course the Minecraft sheets and PJs.
