So I have played both and while I like both be aware Neva plays different. There are fail states unlike gris. So the flow is different but still good. I never got frustrated with gris and did slightly with Neva

Satisfactory 1500 hrs

In the past it was Link to the past character select screen music. Today Satisfactory start up menu music that game must generate a time dilatation field. I swear I only play for 10 mins then it’s 5am and I have to go to work.

This is a game I beat years ago and I still think about it. The ending made me just sit there and think in silence for a while.

So far it’s only like +1 level so they may have done some balance changes

Everspace 2

Yeah I was excited for halo when it was previewed as a PC game first then MS took it for Xbox never got into it

Cause the internet can’t be fun anymore. if only there were a place where you could make your own server. Maybe some prehistoric creature would know.

Very cool takes for the info. Yeah still to this day I use right click for jump in all my games from playing quake 2. It seems weird on modern shooters but old habits die hard. The new update to quake 2 has really injected new life into quake 2 ctf.

Awesome I have never heard of this and I will be checking it out

Yeah growing up with that and quake 2 modern games always feels like im running in quicksand or my controls are broken.

Both go back to 90s tech so you lose a lot of functionality. Gemini is mainly text based with links to files. So think pre web text pages at University’s but it’s cool to read people’s pages without all the distractions of images and video. I have read some cool stories on there. Got an awesome cookie recipe as well from a person in Denmark.

That exists it’s called tildeverse and gemini

the problem is CEO after you bought your $100 game for your $700 console. “We could boost profits so I can get my bonus this quarter by enabling microtransactions anyway and shut down the severs on the game you bought after a year. Because not enough people are buying the game anymore and we don’t offer dedicated servers like we did for 20 years with no issues but now it’s too hard. We will keep the severs going but you need to buy a subscription.”

If you feed the beast more it just craves more to be full. I would have no problem paying the same prices for games in the 90s adjusted inflation. If wages had kept up with productively. Hell they can even keep the cost reduction going from carts to CDs or downloads.

Also the Steam Deck is $349 right now.

you all are my kind of people

you have way more Faith than me. 3 months after I have bought played and beaten a game that is titled Half Life 3. then i might start to believe it’s real. I wait the 3 months to make sure Valve doesn’t Delete the game from my stream account and send men with those memory wipe things from men in black movies after I play it. For all i know they have already done it.

yeah but not going to get it. Burn me one shame on them but burn me twice shame on me.

Test Drive unlimited 2 was sadly very limited and dead for a few years now. but it was a nice open world racing game. even if I didn’t want to race I would just go for s drive.

just sounds like copyright laundering to me.

I’m a big fan going back to 96 but I still don’t get what’s different between this and the directors cut? Wasn’t DC in HD already?

I’m the same way but use heroic games launcher even on windows if that is what you run. Its lite on CPU and you have access to epic gog and epic. if you like the games you played then by them on steam then.

make sure you are up to date they works forever me I just tested smart tube

Steam machines madre the same mistake the 3DO made I’m glad they recovered and something very good camel out of it.

problem is pc gaming never died and has been healthy all along but when retailers stopped selling cause they made more profits with consoles or we stopped buying. the industry or more like the suits and media made a native that pc gaming died. we just went to the guy that respected us and now he has a dragons hord of wealth and moved in beating the consoles at their own game by respecting is with an open platform.

this is what i have been saying all along

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/06/is-the-total-value-of-unplayed-steam-games-really-19-billion-probably-not/

agreed but barely touch is not the same as never touch that’s why I think they are looking at play time as some kind of real metic where it’s been broken from the beginning. You make a really good point as well about offline can also impact that as well.

alternative headline “steam users have a ton of games they got from a humble bundle for super cheap and we didn’t take that into account and used the msrp value of each game for this shocking headline.”

Also some games don’t count time on older games. i know I have games like half life 2 episode 1 that i have beaten that show I never played them since I played them before they started tracking time.

aa it should be

Can you imagine what it would’ve be like if more companies has these handover moments. Support is officially handled over to the community. People pick up touch and the developers get to move on.

not as big as the whole US but it was big like a low key burnout paradise but bigger

great I will play my copy of test drive unlimited 2 to get ready… oh wait I can’t

https://www.stopkillinggames.com/

yes I was

that’s why I hope the game-like genre naming really takes off that means I can just play the original and skip the rest

Who knew they were telling the truth after all. When they said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows.

i did the same just got my new build done and it was worth it. I’m excited for you to play it.

I have comes to realize it was never about piracy it was about control and always has been. It was not about about real lost sales but shareholder perception of potential gains if they had full control.

They look at Apple and wish they had the same amount of control. Piracy is the small minority they point at to distract people when they take away your freedom to do what you want with the property you pay for.

You think they are thinking how much they could get if they did away with piracy. What they really are thinking is how much they could make if they could make your purchase obsolete the moment they can sell you a newer one to juice this quarters profits and lock you into a ecosystem that you can’t leave.

not open source but free to use for personal use and cross platform Obsidian.md uses flat files that can be synced using a number of file syncing tools or synced to get for version control

this will be a little hard to find but Morpheus 1998 was great

broken Sword 5 is good went back to 2D and 6 looks to be the same. but nothing is as good as the first two. the music was killer

your statement about live service poisoning the way people talk about game updates we can both agree on that.
