Since magma would often kill my FPS, I’d sometimes settle for the next best trap: zig-zagging corridors full of dwarven atom smashers to deal with sieges

Back when I first played Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, I spent way too much time atop some stairs and jump-kicking an orc down, who’d ragdoll down, get up then come back up, only to get another jump kick to the face. I spent several minutes laughing

When I was ~7 years old, I had a Nascar 94 demo for PC, my main mode of play was running the wrong way and crashing as hard as I could on another car, watching all the pieces flying was fun

I also wonder whether there’s a “wrong” way to play dorf fortress, since I’ve tried a lot of stupid shit (it’s only stupid if it doesn’t work, so…)

Lastly, there’s Skyrim with, uh, specific mods

You might want to check out Chorus, it’s on sale super cheap on GOG right now. It’s an action game with some levels on foot and others in space.

An honorable mention is Star Wars Battlefront 2 (classic) - maybe not exactly what you want, but it has space combat where most of the action is with ship dogfights, where you can also attack the opposing capital ship and disable its core systems to win the match. The whole single player game ensures you’ll get one hell of a power fantasy as the ace/hero, even on harder difficulties.

Unless they did a proper rework of space combat, it’ll get old fast, just like ground combat. I also remember you could pile up dozens of “Kill space pirate Whoever” from several systems, travel super far away so that you could reset the quests, reset said quests, then manage to complete ALL of them by killing only one target

It’s a game that, as you build up money, it becomes less about flying around and more about managing fleets and your little economic empire. Still, one of the few that actually let you pilot fighters AND huge stuff like the carriers

Hey, at least the children aren’t seeing any titties or cocks!

Even without gamepass, I doubt there would be a significant dent on the total sales % being on playstation consoles, since xbox consoles sold a lot less this gen (30mil vs 80mil | xbox vs ps5)

A cherry on top would be if the announcement was “Now your PC can run Crysis”

Fable 1 was a game I had lots of fun with. Being Brazilian, I was more or less immune to the hype buildup around the game, so I had no clue what was promised vs. what was delivered until years later

Westwood, my beloved 😢

Would be good if Maxis also got out of their throes, though that’s extremely unlikely, given The Sims

Never too late to introduce them to all of your favourite classic games, either

Easier if you start with Bomberman Party on the PS1 or the arcade Neo Bomberman. I think those play much better than anything Bomberman released after 2004

If the kid enjoys strategy, starting out with Age of Empires should be easy. Or just leave them messing around with Settlers 2

Sounds like Roblox

Total War games, like Shogun 2, Rome 2, Three Kingdoms or any of the newer Warhammer TW. It sucks that blood is a fucking dlc on those games

Titanfall 2

Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal

Monster Hunter World (currently on sale, too)

Max Payne 3

Metal Gear Solid 5

I remember when internet banking meant installing some shitty “security” software on Windows before it would let you access the proper page on your browser.

You mean a remake of Heretic 2, because it already exists 😉 - longplay video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k2RZcdpkH4

For an Animal Crossing-ish experience on PC, you can try Dinkum (indie, solo dev) or Hello Kitty Island Adventures (unironically good, but also limits some activities per real day, like AC New Horizons)

Except More Than Just Pals is actually being developed

Really? The community hub on steam has nothing ever since the announcement. I don’t follow pocketpair on any social media, so there’s that

Damn, if that gives Palworld a dungeon where the poor pals can get blasted into bloody gibs, I’m so fucking down - probably won’t get that violent, I suppose we might get some 2 or 3 weapons and 2 sets of armor + 1 raid boss

“Quickly” - the “Bioware magic” used to be years of lack of direction followed by one year of “HOLY SHIT WE NEED TO DELIVER!” crunch

But the former executive producer of Dragon Age, Mark Darrah (…) posted a YouTube video about how the so-called “BioWare magic” really worked. According to Darrah, it referred to a hockey stick graph where most of the progress is nearly unnoticeable. It’s nearly flat, and “if you draw that line out, then your game is shipping in like 30 years.” At a certain point, the developers hit a “pivotal point” when the game would finally shape up and a lot of progress would be made in a short amount of time. According to the developer, that tipping point is what is known as“BioWare magic.”

“Hello Nintendo, please enjoy this video of us making Animal Crossing, complete with our own Ankha expy!”

Considering how the malware works, it seems that the criminal managed to copy/steal all the browser data of Rastaland, including open sessions, allowing him to login on any site that had an active session/cookies, including that pumpdotfun where the coin was

The game in question, Block Blasters, which was free to play, has been removed from Steam, although it seems owners can still try to install it, but antivirus programs may block those attempts.

The GData linked in the post shows that the game was released in July 31 and that the malware update came in August 30, adding a .bat and 2 .zip files within the Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Ogg directory. The zip files were password protected, which blocked scanning.

The batch script checks first if the system is running only Windows Defender and does not have any of the listed AV products from AV_PROCESSES as a running process; if these criteria are met, the batch script unpacks the contents of the archive “v1.zip” (…) The script “1.bat” adds the destination folder of the executables found inside the “v3.zip” archive to the exemption list for Microsoft Defender Antivirus. [emphasis mine]

So, yeah, it’s pretty clear how easily it went undetected by Steam, Windows Defender or any other antivirus program - malware inside a password protected zip. I suspect making something similar on Android wouldn’t be much harder, as an app or game that needs access to your internal storage isn’t “too weird”, like something that asks for some music to play in a stage.

Copilot: “That’s a great question! XxX_420694ever_XxX’s race is “pounding” and sexual orientation is “yo mama”, would you like to see this player’s achievements?”

Time to make this dream game come true! The real question here is, do we titty twist the tentacle demon’s tits, or will the tentacle twist demon titties?

Most of the regulations are on the customer side. You still see new shitcoins being created, hyped, pumped and dumped every other week, something that is not possible on actual stock markets unless you are friends with several high ranking people

What? Randy Bitchfork is devaluing the premium performance of his premium game so it’ll run on dirty plebeian computers with their plebeian GTX 4080 graphics card and i9-12900 processors? faints

Check phones from 2018-2020, they’re all perfectly serviceable and should be cheap to buy used from someone else

Today, the gremlin told console players to quit and restart the game, as a fix for the performance drop the longer you play.

2D pixel games without realtime raytracing and perfect light simulations never ever sold

To be fair, it seems only Epic themselves know how to fuck around with UE5 nowadays. That nanite lighting, temporal antialiasing and dithering everything makes everything look like ass. Games from 2016 look better

Nah, you just need to get a friendly judge to tell whoever decides to dispute your patent that they’re wrong and your patent is totally valid and innovative

Not the first genocide, either

Keep in mind the tweet refers to the group chat as used by the flotilla to communicate with their European supporters, not necessarily for their internal communications.

Final Fantasy Tactics on PS1 alone can carry you back and forth, if you end up liking the game.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night is also one of the best choices for the console.

Maybe in more current MMOs, because back in my WoW days (2013 and earlier), misogyny was rampant

Maybe Dead Cells is too hectic for him? I wonder what your kid would think of the good ol’ Symphony of the Night

Humans have used other things to act as reminders of things and, more importantly, as recorders for numbers, so I really doubt “decline in brain volume” happened because of writing. Not only that, literacy was low throughout most of human history and usually confined to small groups, which rarely included the nobles, by the way - they would just have a servant that could read/write for them.

It’s deliciously ironic that we only know about those ancient greek snobs who despised writing thanks to their words being written.

Does anyone know if it can run CUDA code? Because that’s the silver bullet ensuring Nvidia dominance in the planet-wrecking servers

I had to read the article, since it initially sounded like the groups were doing the vigilantism only within the game. Once things go into real life, it’s a different matter and I fully agree with you there, especially if the groups are looking for views on youtube and social media

Similar to viral pedophile hunting groups, players are attempting to track down and apprehend predators themselves.

Oh, that is a different matter, the vigilantism might be happening IRL
