As games keep getting easier and easier to make. Single or small team indie developers can take on doing those kind of games.




The binding of Isaac.

There’s a bug update I’ve heard and I want to go back to see how it goes.


Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.

Not that I play a lot. I was just trying it, but it happened to be the last one I played last year.


As far as capitalism goes they are not the shittiest of companies out there.

They have predatory tactics with lootboxes on their popular games though.

But most of their practices are not anticonsumer.

And they do not enforce drm and their own drm is a joke, so you can basically own most games if you want with very little effort. Just copy the files and have a generic steam crack around and you are golden for most cases.


Yep, I’m sure most of them just bought their positions there to have power over society.


They really like to show off how much power they have and how self defense is, indeed, justified.

They do and undo like there’s no consequences whatsoever.


The fact that a legit website could be taken down just by a big corporation claim, without any further third party or gubernamental investigation. Is indeed frightening.


Corporate doing corporate shit. And then asking why people hate corporations and their CEOs.


How is durability on the original one?

I’m sick of all my controllers getting joystick drift and needing replacement every few years.



They do not state the methodology used (paywalled is the same as not existent to me).

So probably it’s just not true.


If they win is going to be a very bad day for Nintendo.

And it’s not that imposible. As these kind of companies operate on the principle that “small” people would never go to court after them, so they don’t care if they actually have legal ground.


Colonize is not the same as terraform.

Mars could be colonized without terraforming it. Closed habitats could be permanent thus providing a way of colonization.

Terraforming is a trouble without magnetosphere that’s true. But not impossible. As there are tech concepts on how it could be possible to shield mars atmosphere. And doesn’t seem imposible, just expensive and complex.



I’ve got the feeling that drift is an issue that is becoming more prevalent more and more.

I have controllers from ps1 and ps2 that work flawlessly nowadays. But the more current the controller the more probable it has stick drift.

I’m not all for conspiracies. But I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a lightning bulbs type of pact to introduce programmed obsolescence on a product that otherwise would just last forever without need to buy replacements.


I play shattered dungeon.

Game boy emulators.

TIC-80 and PICO8 games.

Native android Final Fantasy VI.

There are some good options for phone gaming.


Windows 7 was windows peak.

I don’t know how they fucked up so bad since then.

Well. I know. Capitalism breed innovation, what they don’t say is that it breeds like the european monarchy.



I really want to play some AC games. But I cannot stand the modern day bits. To me the parts when you wake up from the animus are just bad and unrespectful to my time.


I have not much against steam.

But gog is a more than viable alternative to steam.

Let’s not act as if there’s no alternative when itch.io or gog exists.

Has steam more features? Yes. Is better for some things? Yes. Is the only viable alternative as a game store? No.


Don’t worry, the best minds of our generation are already working to put advertisements in your dreams.


The binding of Isaac.

I’ve been playing it on and of since the flash game released 13 years ago.


I do self host several AI applications for myself on a low end device and I think for most lowend even mid devices local AI is unfeasible. Nowadays is too much resource heavy and times are too long without high end devices.

For my computer generating a description of a picture (one of the firefox new features) could easily take up to 5-10 minutes with the cpu at 100%. That’s just not viable for doing while browsing.

Anyway I would love for firefox to open source the server side of this. So in case someone have s computer powerful enough they could do it locally if they want to.


Could anyone give a brief sum up of what are these games about?

I know is a famous series and I think is a fantasy rpg but I don’t know much more about them or why are the so well regarded.


My favourite videogame “oddworld” got a remake and I despise it with all my heart.

Since them no remake for me. I’ll just keep enjoying the originals.


“Sorry, we’ll have to do it in a few months again to see if you still can mobilize this much”.
