You have a point but the cost of Paradox DLCs FAR exceeds the development time most of the time. You really have to do your research before buying anything


I cackled playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

…when some NPCs moonwalked in the background during some dialogue.

Before that, some parts Yakuza: Like A Dragon which I thought was a much funnier and better game


If a young mel plays hide and seek, that was part of the ending scenes


That is a completely unfair comparison. For starters, Facebook is a for-profit advertising company and Wikipedia is a community-driven encyclopedia and should be judged by different standards

Second, both admins and users can edit Wikipedia when there’s a problem. Everyone is “responsible” for fixing it - or at the very least equally at fault

Next, the content in question. Facebook was (rightfully) given hell for hosting gore, CSAM, adult porn, etc. Things that are immoral, illegal, or outright dangerous. The offending content on Wikipedia is bad translations.

Lastly, the bigger issue is always enforcement of said content. Facebook was made aware of the problem users/pages/uploads and slacked off on doing anything. These Wikipedia pages have very low traffic and weren’t getting reported. And even with reports, Wikipedia then has to consult with people who speak the rare language.

They’re similar problems of vastly different scales



I played this game last year and enjoyed it. Might have to give it another spin


Yeah, I didn’t have any issues with them until recently when every other outlet started copying it and they seemingly cranked it to 11 in response. They’d work great as taglines but I prefer descriptive titles so I don’t have to “figure out” the topic. Feels antithetical to the purpose of a headline


I wish they DID trademark it so half the gaming news websites didn’t follow suit

It feels very…corporate. Forced casual



Got any workshop recommendations? I tried a few right after beating the game but found them lackluster. I’m guessing there’s a lot more now


Each level has multiple things to steal/destroy but once you pick up/destroy the first thing, the alarm goes off and a timer starts.

The gameplay is mostly setting up the heist. You break holes in walls, build bridges, set up chain reactions, etc to find a route that picks up everything and escape in time. You have limited ammo but you get unlimited spray paint to mark the path for yourself

I know some people hate it but my only complaint is that some of the DLC is pretty meh. Base game is a blast, though!

[Edit] also, I would avoid watching anyone play it BUT it won’t necessarily spoil any “solutions” because there’s an infinite amount of ways you can beat a level


I feel the same way but mainly I don’t like playing “wait and think” games online because of the pressure

Teardown is a fun single player heist game, not that you asked for suggestions. Kind of want to play it again now hmmm…


Not only is it still running on private servers, those private servers have the blessing of the original devs. If I’m remembering correctly, they even provided the admins some dev tools and code


Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Picked up the previous game on sale and really liked it. This game is a major improvement on combat but a step backwards everywhere else IMO.

(Spoilers?) You play half the game as Kasuga, the main character of the last game. The other half, you’re the main character of some of the older Yakuza games. I do not like this. I get in the groove with one party right as it forced me to the other for the next chapter.

Also, a ton of the side quests for the other char are “remember this from the old games??”


The title really sells it as “video you should not watch under any circumstances”


Sounds like the genre’s just not for you. I also don’t enjoy games like this BUT it’s not wasting time if you’re having fun


I don’t really like games like this (I know Hollow Knight is a masterpiece if you do) but I’d be tempted to buy it for $20 just to support the studio


The character design was derivative but they weren’t awful, come on now. Absolutely true about the rest


They should just train a bunch of pigeons to drop leaflets around town


Yeah, exactly. The general public thinks that Steve Jobs invented the iPhone. He’s not just some random CEO.


no one will know his name in 20 years.

I’m not a fan of Jobs but that’s quite a claim. No one will remember one of the most successful CEOs of all time in 2 decades?

Wozniak will leave the public consciousness way sooner than Jobs. Outside of tech circles, pretty much nobody knows who he is now.


Games with optional crossplay > games without crossplay >>>>>>>> games with forced crossplay


Can you just recreate the email address temporarily


Wow, it’s not like I was doing the shopping myself in 1995 but I’m still surprised I’ve never seen one of these!


In a fraction of the time it took you to make this, you could have confirmed yourself that these are all the same size


Really?? I got a PS1 when they were pretty new and all of my games are in standard jewel cases.


Good point lol

No pressure to redo them, just make a new one whenever (and if ever) you play again!



I see someone’s never read Luke 3:12

Sonic is obviously an allegory for the tax collector who gets baptized. Dummy.

And no I did not just pick a random bible verse and justify it. My uncle is friends with Hideo Kojima, the CEO of Sega


Hold Home and Screenshot until it turns on and starts flashing then pair it on your phone



There wasn’t a reason to before but now they are doing it now because there’s enough of a market to justify it…I’m not sure what you think they did so wrong


Why would they prioritize resources into something with low demand…?


I know there’s a lot of Steam haters out there but simple shit like this is why they’re on top.


I fuckin loved those phones. I was devastated when I dropped my 1020 and broke the camera


I think about half of them are pretty awful. And painting aside, I wouldn’t have recognized Gale (guy with the beard) if not for the context


Frostpunk 2 is great. I think it’s way harder than 1 but maybe that’s just because I haven’t sunk nearly the same hours in


I use that mouse for work and really like it. I was debating getting one for my home PC, too…



Subset Games created two amazing games: FTL & Into The Breach
I'm not sure if this counts as a "patient gamer" because I played them to death years ago...but I've been playing both again recently and they're just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They're not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they're old enough to regularly go on sale which is great! Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games. If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I'm sure there's tons of great strategy games I've missed over the years
