Capitalism is evil and only makes the world worse for everyone in it.

More on this story at the top of the hour, and now to the weather!


Definitely never spending a penny for this.


That’s so sick. I don’t know anyone that would play something like that with me, but I love that it exists.


As someone who hasn’t played yet, what does cross play entail? I thought it was single player?



There are some games that it doesn’t seem to play nice with that I end up using DSX for myself, also it’s nice for non Steam games.


I wouldn’t. I can’t imagine wanting to go back to a wired controller, especially when they have built in rechargeable batteries now.



I haven’t payed any attention to this so far, it’s not backwards compatible?


I love this and hate this, because it prescribes way too much credit to Musk for work he’s never done.


Nintendo is the worst fucking company, and yet all I hear is “I can’t wait to get that Switch 2”. The general public doesn’t know fuck all about anything in the world.




Thought that was an onion type of article at first, lol.


Well that kind of gets to my second point of servers disappearing. Used to be you could find or create your own servers for your more casual players but most games these days have no such options.


IMO people act like it’s training wheels so they can get better, but it’s more like turning the game to easy and not having to face any challenging hurdles. When people go into a game on easier difficulties and then try to play it on a higher difficulty, they actually generally have a harder time than if they just played the game on the harder difficulty to begin with (with some exceptions). Players should be getting better by experience not algorithmically making them feel better by pitting them against other poor players. It worked just fine for a long time before the invention of SBMM, and servers used to do a lot of the filtering for us before that stopped being common (for absolutely no good reasons).


Sucks to suck, I’ll stick to my games: they cost less, aren’t full of microtransactions, aren’t just re-hashing the exact same thing every single year, and most importantly? They’re fun.


I don’t have a lot of experience, but the one 6 year old I’m around the most sure is obsessed with the PS5. I’m sure “Netflix” here means “rich board members” who typically know fuck all about their investments.


Windows 10 is creating a loophole that lets me skip installing Windows 11.


A Windows handheld would be terrible for me, I’d forget it was meant to be a gaming machine and fall into a pit of customizing it and then probably break it.



A bunch of people around me played Monopoly Go for like a month and then stopped. Everything I heard about it sounded like it was terrible and full of microtransactions. Never heard of Stumble Guys, but obviously from the name it’s just a ripoff of Fall Guys. Niantic has never made a good game, but they sure have made a fortune from microtransaction stores masquerading as games while collecting everyone’s location and other data.


You’re absolutely right, but unfortunately Hitler is in the white house and trying to ruin GPS for the entire planet.


I played Go for a day, still don’t understand how people played this for years.


I’ve just been calling them exactly that: vampire survivors like. It’s a mouthful, so I’m open to the alternatives.



Then they wouldn’t have to make up the advertising costs with subtransactions (micro transactions doesn’t seem like the right word anymore when they cost over $5 a pop).



Oh. OH! I’m taking the bait. Bravo. I still think you’re retarded for being a troll on the Internet when there’s so much else you could be doing, but good job rustling my jimmies.


God damn. That’s honestly one of the dumbest fucking takes I’ve seen, and we’re living in Trump 2.0. You’re impressively unintelligent.


So just to be clear, you think it’s crazy that I know a name from the article? That’s what you’re saying? Definitely retarded.


Really? Fair enough, I don’t recall there being any options to romance anyone when I played, but I must have just missed it. I remember the forced gay scene, which, like, fine, but I’m not gay, so it would have been cool to get at least one chance with a girl, lol, but it never seemed to come up no matter what I did with female companions in tow.



And a major disappointment you couldn’t romance in Cyberpunk and the romance in Outer Worlds felt so half assed. Romance can be a great part of a game.


Actually. Sometimes it is. The actual problem is that you’re trying to figure it out at all. If you’re trying to engineer the perfect product, it will always be a shit game. Good games come from passionate developers who have an idea, not from board meetings and focus groups.


You didn’t answer my question, just downvoted. Are you retarded? You’d have to be to leave that comment in reply to mine on this thread.



Vertex explosions is specifically the issue that was making it unplayable for me, I’m going to have to find this mod now! Thanks!



Same build then. :( Maybe the facial animations mod will help me.


Sort by date added to library, what’s the oldest game you have installed on Steam?
For me it's Zombie Panic Source, but I'd love to hear others.

Looking for a good FF Tactics like game on Android.
I played Dragons Quest Tactics on and off for about a year but I never thought it was very good at all and there were a lot of annoying aspects I hated, recently the game decided to delete all my progress and characters so I'm done with it for good. Is there anything actually fun to play on Android in the same vein?

What’s the best app for Youtube right now?
Years ago I used NewPipe but when I wanted a little *more* from my app I switched the ReVanced until it started giving me more and more issues. For the past 3 months or so I've been using a cracked Youtube Premium app, but now it's dropping every video after about a minute. So what's everyone using these days to avoid all of Google's bullshit but still watch Youtube content?
