It’s also has a human slavery mechanic and human/pal butchering mechanics. A gooner dating sim isn’t a big deal. If you don’t like it, don’t play it.





“Japan” isn’t a monolith. And how would we feel if Americans got upset at spaghetti westerns?


Zuck has never been a good person or treated his users with respect.

Tom from Myspace may have been the only stable one.


Yeah. It reads like fan fiction. Marc Laidlaw wasn’t involved. Hell, they didn’t ask Merle Dandridge to reprise her role.

It also doesn’t effect the story if there’s no more story. I’ll stick to the fan made spinoffs.


Fuck that guy. UT2k4 shipped with a Linux installer that never showed up on steam/gog before they delisted it.


AI techbros will have you believe that you can solve world hunger, cure cancer

And yet they don’t. Well, we already know how to solve world hunger. Just not a willingness.

Researchers are using AI as an additional tool for discovering new drugs, but the techbros and pharmabros are going to be over charging for any new cures even if they become cheaper to discover.


Remember when CoD bragged about having reactive fish when Mario 64 did it years earlier?

Found it.


The Seeker from Singularity is greatly under appreciated like the whole game. It fires a steerable bullet and slows time down while doing so.

BTW, any smart asses that want to go “Well Ackchyually” that the gun shoots the whole bullet with the casing, it’s based on gyrojet guns.


My friend group made a DM variant that was just Pistols with no shields and health at 400%. The only shots that mattered were headshots

We quickly learned that the pistol was not hitscan and it was always cool when two players took each other out.


The PS9 services for the PSN have been discontinued. Please upgrade to the PS11 to continue using your endocrine system.


Released in January 5, 1999. I remember owning this software and flawless running PS1 games on my Blueberry iBook with a USB controller. Still wild that a company had the balls to release this thing and actually won the case that [Sony brought against them](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment,_Inc._v._Connectix_Corp.), causing Sony to simply buy the company to discontinue the software.

And yet they couldn’t find the pocket change to keep the Unreal Tournament master servers up and games listed.


I once saw a post about Oni, a 2001 Bungie game get deleted from the Bungie subreddit for not being Bungie related.


There’s a few indie shooters I’ve played that are officially EA, but have hours of gameplay in their first play though and are very replayable. Selaco is an absolute joy with 9 hours on the main campaign and 22 hours for 100%. Officially EA with only the first episode out.


Wish they could fix the Halo2 co-op issues, but that’s twenty year old spaghetti code. It would be easier to just host the game on one instance, tunnel the second controller input and stream the perspective.


I just want more of my single player games to have optional co-op. I don’t need co-op mechanics, but if it’s an indie game based on GZDoom, it should ship with co-op. The code for that is very old.




No. That would be taking money from the parents when they purchase the game. The kids would only be playing the game and so long as there’s no store front in the game, there’s no problem.

Would you ban kids from riding bicycles because stores sell them?


You could just sell the game at a flat cost. You know, like they use to and still do. If you want a “Live Service” game, just sell a DLC/Expansion Pack every few months.


But why? What’s the motive behind not just queuing low ranking players with each other?


I was always more a ut2k4 guy. I need to spend a weekend tracking down and installing the linux binary for that game. But even then the most active servers just play the same few maps. I could play some FaceClassic, but not for hours on end.

I’m also working on fixing an old gamepad I use to use for these games. Unlike ones that use cherry based switches, this one just uses those small, tactile switches with crazy small travel distance.




I wasn’t going to play a hero shooter anyway, but fuck this. I just want to go back to arena shooters, server browsers and no stat tracking.


I’m not going to call Korea is a cesspool, but things do seem more desperate there. They’re deep in late stage capitalism(I’m not endorsing NK btw), but still haven’t been disillusioned by the promise and are looking to blame anything else. Somethings not right when Samsung Group accounts for around 22 percent of the GDP.


God, that happened with a friend of mine who we drifted apart during covid. He was never really a feminist in the first place, but started consuming gamer gate shit. Doesn’t have time to play games, but likes to listen to outrage.


They could have adapted any of the books. The Rion Forge series would have been perfect.

But instead, we got a boilerplate plot from some reworked non-Halo script that subverted all the subversions Halo is know for doing to scifi tropes.


There’s more going on.

I’ve seen a number of references to my work in big-company projects before. For example, there’s a dead unicorn with an enchanted kidney named Charlie in World of Warcraft. This is fine! It’s completely within fair-use laws. Using my audio directly is not fair use.

Copyright law, at least in the United States, is heavily weighted towards protecting large corporations. Warner Bros is one of the largest media companies in the world, and it often uses IP law like a weapon against smaller artists. Notable examples include MeatCanyon, whose clear fair use parody video “Wabbit Season” was forcibly removed from YouTube, and Vera Drew, whose parody film “The People’s Joker” received a cease and desist letter from WB, initially derailing its film festival premiere schedule.

So WB wasn’t just making a reference, but also lifting audio from Steele’s work while also shutting down other’s fair use parodies.




The Chinese have glass hearts. You can see it whenever Taiwan gets mentioned as an independent nation.



They’ve promised not to sue people sharing Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament(1999). They can change their mind.

id Software released the source code for Doom under a specific license. This has given birth to a wealth of commercial indie titles, the most technically impressive being Selaco, build on a fork of GZDoom called Pancake Engine.

Bungie released the code and assets for their Marathon trilogy and gave birth to a still very active modding community making full fledged fan campaigns.

If Epic wanted to full commit and release the code and assets to the games, I wouldn’t be complaining.


Don’t forget that Epic delisted and shutdown the servers for the entire Unreal franchise that was costing pennies to run.



What you need to do is find two or so reviewers who align with what you want out of a game.
