So DMCA takedowns are only for gameplay videos, they haven’t sent any takedown (or any other) notice to whoever is hosting / running / developing the custom server code.

It will be interesting to see how it progresses.

Well, as long as you are having fun! 😀

But that would change the format of the title! And while it has evolved over the time, that would feel so weird!

Also, it’s sometimes fun to see the featured picture and guess what the game is 😀

I guess large library size can be a contributing factor too. I have tons of games in my backlog and not enough time, so prefer shorter and tighter experiences, which can sometimes be difficult since my favourite genre is RPG, but I have lost interest in games that doesn’t respect your time, which is most open world games.

There are always exceptions though, just got a Platinum for Ghost of Tsushima few months back. Though I think that only happened cause a friend of mine was also playing at the same time, so discussing the things he has done or I have done kept the interest going for much longer.

they’re an evil shadowy cabal that mind controls companies and has them add brainwashing techniques meant to bring about the downfall of western society

I knew it!

I liked the game when I played it and I never saw the Haytham twist coming either, I mean until the reveal it themselves. Also don’t remember that sign on his back.

I don’t think I have the stamina for these games anymore. I played Black Flag a few years back but didn’t like it and Black Flag is considered one of the best AC game by everyone.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Max Payne!

Congratulations on completing the wall!

This is pretty much why I can’t play much PC games either (even though there are some genres I love that work bes on PC). Handheld works best, or sitting on a couch in front of TV.

I love tablets as a good general purpose device, but don’t have much experience with remote play. Just check how well it works with controllers and the latency / lag.

We all go through time like that. If you like single player games, what helped me was getting a Switch (I had almost quit gaming before that), the ability to play on a handheld which you can pause (put in sleep) anywhere is a godsend. Everyone is different though, but can be worth a try. You can try getting a SteamDeck, and see if that works for you.

At the end of the day, if playing short rounds of Death by Daylight is what you enjoy the most, nothing wrong with just keep doing that.

It’s interesting when games do that, though as someone who rarely replays game, I never really notice these things.

Oooh, Max Payne!

I played them when they were released, and they were such great games for their time. Don’t remember much about the story though, some dream sequences, and there was some subway in start of the first game I believe, remember trying the slow-mo from different angles there.

Looking forward to play the remakes!

If you don’t mind playing alone, do try Subnautica, everyone claims it’s best of the genre, at least it was when it was released.

It’s in my backlog, but I couldn’t get into Subnautica (I enjoyed it while playing, but didn’t have any urge to play it again), so the genre is probably not for me. I can imagine it can be fun with right people though.

Like Saturday morning cartoons, each day is unique!

We can treat the dimension hop as Christmas special crossover episode 😀

Is “Fireman Stripper” a sustainable job in Zombie apocalypse? Just curious…

Oooh, Cable is back! According to the lore, do the characters just move from one world to another or is that some other guy with some other adopted son Cable?

Mainly play on console, but I’ll keep this in mind for future. Thanks for the tip.

That “Big Grey Guy” is one of the major reason I haven’t tried the game. And well the fact that I don’t like horror, but I am going to blame the Big Grey Guy!

Project Zomboid is back!

I was just joking, but thanks for the info, didn’t know that.

Why do female player character have more friends than male player character? I feel discriminated!

lol, same here. Except leaning towards super annoyed because of some work related things.

It did feel like exaggeration to me, but it could be my bias. May feel differently about it later.

You are right about the fact that it could be an agency. Maybe I was just being pedantic 😀

That’s an interesting point. You are right about that.

Okay, so grammatically, in perfect tense we can use plural to mention a thing that has happened at least (or exactly) once? Wouldn’t using a plural imply multiple, when the known fact is singular?

Well, the quote specifically says “a private investigator”.

Well, it’s good to know I am not the only weird one 😀

Paczynski says they once hired a private investigator to find someone living off the grid in the UK. He had unknowingly inherited the rights to several games, but was super supportive of “preserving his family’s legacy” when GOG tracked him down.

So, it happened once. And they hired one private investigator. Not that it isn’t interesting, but why exaggerate everything?

Remaining quotes from article:

“To be perfectly honest, it’s harder than we thought it would be,” Paczynski explained. “What we’ve found out is that games and how they work has deteriorated way faster than what we thought. And we are not talking only about the game not launching. We are talking about more subtle things as well, like the game not supporting modern controllers, or the game not supporting ultra-widescreen or modern resolutions, or even a simple thing like not being able to minimise the game, which is an essential feature today.”

Pacyznski says digital rights management (DRM) features are especially frustrating to circumvent, which means they’re working as designed. Heck, some rather famous games are unplayable without third-party patches because of DRM — any old Xbox-to-PC that’s saddled with a “Games for Windows Live” log-in comes to mind.

Pacyznski suggests that triple-A developers remove DRM from games after a few years to make life easier for future game preservationists. Of course, this will never happen because executives don’t care about preserving games.

I can understand. Sometimes this causes me to play the starting area of the game multiple times, just to make sure I chose the right starting class etc.

This feels like how it will be if there is a real-life Zombie apocalypse. It’s different than playing games, we won’t be killing the hordes, we will just be scared as hell and trying to run as fast as we can.

Why did you drop BG3 before?

I loved the first one, but the second one has much bigger rooms, you often die before even seeing your enemy.

I have been waiting for Cave Story+ to go on a sale for so long, I don’t think it’s every going to happen. Will just have to buy it at full price some day.

That sounds scary.

The colours! My eyes!

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Ahan, cool.

Is the NG+ just the same game again or are there any differences like in Neir games?

It was never sustainable, they threw in tons of money to disrupt the market and get subscribers share, and now that they have done that as much as they can, they are trying to get the money.

Heh, that’s some interesting bits of exploration.
