I asked my girlfriend a couple of days ago to sign it. Today she told me she also send it to her family and a lot of them signed. Which is crazy, because not a single one of them is a gamer and they are all Italian, which currently lacks a lot in this initiative.

According to her sister “consumer rights and art preservation is a no brainer”. I love this family so much…more than most of my own family…


Fuck that. I’m sending this to everyone I know. Gamer or not. Common sense alone demands a signature.

Edit: This far 2 gamers finally put their signatures on it and 4 non gamers went with it too. So with me we’re at 7 signatures.

I did my part. But I think it won’t be enough. Yes, after Ross spoke up every content creator and their grandparents started shitting in Pirates mouth and is advertising the petition like crazy. But sadly these kind of things are a bit circle jerky and will be watched by the same people.


There is no evidence that Guillemot or Deraine were directly involved in sexual harassment or bullying at the company, they are being accused of complicity.

Which has been said from the very beginning. They didn’t do it themselves, but they knew of it and didn’t do jack to stop it.



I can’t think of a more psychotic community that could be more fitting.

Only surprised it hasn’t been done before.


Learning Yasuke was based on a real person did little to assuage critics. Asian men in particular argued Schmidt-Hori was trying to erase them, even though her role involved researching historical customs and reviewing scripts, not creating characters.

If you are this stupid, maybe you in particular should be erased?


While Bungie’s always maintained that old Destiny 2 material is just sitting in the vault for now, when the lawsuit was filed it suddenly turned out that material in the vault couldn’t be restored. The engine had been updated, and it simply wasn’t possible to restore the Red War. Instead, Bungie insisted “the attached videos are the best possible way for the Court to review the accused work.” The videos in question included, as Exhibit B, a 10-hour lore video put together by YouTuber MynameisByf.

Me: Bungie can’t fuck up harder

Bungie: This isn’t even my final form 😎

The only good thing that came out of this is that MynameisByf probably got a lot of exposure. Good for him.


I just woke up and read the title as “terf war erupts”. Was really disappointed when I read the article.

As for the actual topic, his mods are mostly fine. It’s a shame he has to mix bug fixes with content alteration. I love overhaul mods big and small. But I like to choose playing them myself, thank you.


I actually like those a lot. Just listing some in no particular order:

  • Metroid Prime Series
  • Dark Souls Series half the time
  • Resident Evil 1, 2 and maybe 8
  • Hollow Knight
  • Castlevania Symphony of the Night
  • Outer Wilds


Well fuck me, that wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

Hell yeah!


I think I didn’t buy or play anything Ubisoft since Far Cry 4? And even that was more of an accident.

So from my perspective Ubisoft is that one flaccid one night stand who is still screeching about stuff while I moved on years ago.

Edit: I just checked. I didn’t even buy Far Cry 4. Oh whoops.



I avoided any spoilers like the plague. I just hope it will be like the first game and won’t mutate into a generic shooter.


Same with the Terraria wiki. Afaik the fandom wiki is mostly abandoned and people moved to the much better gg wiki.


Yes, the New Order was great. But for me the New Colossus was the best Nazi killing I ever experienced in a game.

The moment you finally murder the shit out of Frau Engel is burned into my memory.

Lady… That the best you got? Then your best won’t do. You’re among wolves now. And these are our woods.

❤️❤️❤️


The Boltgun from Boltgun.

It sounds right, it feels right, it purges right. There is something poetic about pulling the trigger and knowing whatever you direct your fully automatic rocket propelled grenade launcher at will explode in a cloud of gore.



To this day I am salty about the third game lagging in QTEs.


I have the feeling that “what members like” is not “actually finishing a good show for fucking once”. Because that’s what I would have liked before I left.



Thanks for the clarification. The headline sounded fishy.



Good! It is a fantastic game after all. But you know how those numbers would have been way bigger? It has something to do with your stupid ass store ❤️


Thousands of hours, months of hard work. For about 300 bucks and a bunch of incels doxxing and harassing her.

I cannot fathom why she left.



Empowerment and ownership are the new pride and accomplishment.


Loved the first game. This however? A Ubisoft game that is being developed for about 15 years. What could go wrong?


I can’t take it anymore. I want to play it now. Today a friend and I both chat about what’s new, speculate and make comparisons to Space Exploration. We actually still are doing that.

GF and I are about to go eat some sushi in a fancy restaurant and the only thing I can think about is blasting my cargo into space one more time. We already got the confirmation that Space Age won’t be as complex and challenging as Space Exploration, but I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff the modders will come up with!


Didn’t know Steam was still operating in Russia. Kinda makes sense it being the third biggest user base.

Still gonna count it as another reason not to use Steam anymore tho.


Not if you made “being upset” your character trait. There are too many kids (and adults with the mental capability of kids) who fall for this crap over and over again. It wouldn’t be that frustrating when they got upset about stuff that’s actually real.



Ok. Interesting take. Let’s look at Alan Wake 2. High Budget and pretty good. One of the best games I played in recent years I would say.

And why did it sell poorly, I hear you ask? Well, maybe it had something to do with the fact that you published it on your Epic Store only, being fully aware that the overwhelming majority of PC players are on Steam (and very lazy when it comes to switching away from it). Also you didn’t produce physical copies for consoles. Download only for an environment known for being fiercely pro physical copy.

But we all know it’s not about these things. It’s about calming down investors. That’s why you use buzzwords like “metaverse” and shit. I am actually impressed you didn’t ramble about AI.


The publisher is also launching an internal review “in light of recent challenges” to identify ways the company can improve how it releases games, engages with its players, and benefits its stakeholders and shareholders.

We all know you will exclusively go for the last part and start shouting oh no what happun?!


I wonder what the next main enemy of the first half will be. We had the green skins and the ‘Nids. Maybe we will get chaos first. With Word Bearers leading hordes of crazed cultists into battle. Then the midgame switch happens and we fight the more elite Drukhari or some Necron dynasty.

As long as I can fire a bolt into Leandros‘ face I’m happy.


Don’t know if it counts: Factorio on deathworld. I thought it’s impossible until I saw dosh beating it and Mods even worse than that.


Commercial failure in this case translates to it didn’t make twice the money in the world. That’s why you never listen to investors as a consumer.

Didn’t play DAI tho. Loved the first one. Dreaded the second to the point I didn’t trust the franchise when DAI released.


The brute forcing of AI into anything goes into the next stage.

Good thing I don’t care that much about graphics since I’ve been a teenager.


And some of the studios are doing great! Releasing fantastic games and being shut down shortly after.


I am glad we can agree that the Chinese government is trying to weave a false narrative that all of that has been instigated by mysterious western powers working in the shadows and as long as people stick to that they will be perfectly fine.

Don’t care about what the yankees have done tho. Don’t know what’s that about all of a sudden.
