My favorite thing about Subnautica was the awesome Cyclops sub you could literally build a base inside of. It made me crave more survival games where you have a mobile base like that and Below Zero really fell flat with their main sub you couldn’t build in.


Currently enjoying the demo. I’ve definitely wanted more nonsense like this in gaming.

One simple thing to fix is widescreen FOV, which is fortunately trivial. Simply add the following lines to Engine.ini in the config files and it should handle any screen width just fine:

[/script/engine.localplayer]
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

In the US, Atari tried to sue someone who made an Asteroids clone back in 1981 and lost because Meteors, the clone had made some improvements on the idea of Asteroids (color, among other things). This cemented US legal precedent that you can’t sue people for “ripping off” games so long as they make some meaningful change to it and aren’t just making a direct knock-off.

This current case is in Japan, however, where the legal landscape is very different and companies need to be legally aggressive to maintain any rights to their IP from what I understand. I have no idea how that’s going to go down.


Seriously, it’s great to see Valve digging deeper into my heart with improvements to services like this.


*checks Steam reviews… 143,535 Overwhelmingly Positive

Totally underrated.


I just love the review of it that states, “if you like The Witness, you’ll like The Looker, but if you hated The Witness, you’ll love The Looker.”


Yes, there are good games that are just totally free. I’ve enjoyed the hell out of both ΔV: Rings of Saturn and South Scrimshaw lately. Both offer things you can purchase, but you get the full experience without them.


Just think of it as a PC game that happens to also have an Xbox release holding it back for some reason.


The Banksy example is also bad because they didn’t take anything away from anyone, just sold something that would change form after sale. And they knew that this stunt would only increase the art’s value going in.


Yeah, I used to have to use an app like FoxFi to get free hotspot functionality with Verizon, but they have since made it free on my plan.


It also assumes there’s anything stopping us. I’m annoyed they didn’t have a “nothing” option on the poll. I’ve been loving my Flip 4 and hope they keep making options like it when I eventually wear it down.
