Easy Delivery Co is a good one, but for me it feels like it doesn’t give you enough freedom to be that.

But yeah, Sam Porter Bridges driving a car from Initial D on Play Station 1 is kinda what it feels like


I would say Mads Mikkelsen is a plus, but it’s terrain traversal that should define a genre.


The Witcher 2, native Linux version

That is a bit more problematic than it should, the launcher doesn’t work without discontinued dependencies, the configuration doesn’t work at all (had to edit configuration file manually), and the controls seem a bit off so I decided to play on easy difficulty not to embarrass myself too much with doing completely wrong moves because they are mapped in a weird way (imo)

But it still looks pretty good and seems interesting so far, it will definitely take a lot of time to explore, and then I will still have a third game to play




Some games are region-locked because the localisation is done by building another binary, Fallouts were like that, and some other I can’t remember, maybe it was this

I too am afraid to change region because Valve is very opaque in how they change availability, and there definitely were precedents of games not just being delisted but still available if you have them, but also disappearing completely from you library


I expect that no cap on storefront share of the price will be set as a result of this lawsuit or any other.

I also expect that even if Steam reduce their cut to 3%, prices will not get lower, and bankruptcies and lay-offs will go on as usual

Maybe I’m just pessimistic, don’t know


Ah, yeah, there was, that’s not how most of the time went, though



Yeah, I thought life was hard but sustainable mostly, turns out one was always at risk of extinction:

Medieval villagers were often living on the edge of subsistence. Agricultural surpluses were skimmed by the church and the feudal lords. Bad harvests, banditry, warfare and disease might decimate a village community at any time. For this very reason, the demography of many European villages remained relatively stable between the twelfth and the eighteenth century.



competitor being so unimportant they can’t give things away

What?

Besides, I think part of the issue is that you argue with different people as if they were the same people


I still think there is some communication issue, but I re-read your original comment and I am quite lost about what your point was: you say Valve is monopoly BUT it’s not evil (from another thread you linked) and you don’t propose to dismantle it. So, what should the readers do with the newly acquired knowledge?

If you want to warn, then warn directly, if you want to call to action, do so. If you want people to just think for themselves, you will get nothing except people thinking you fail to make a point and arguing with you because they came up with that result by thinking for themselves


Yeah, I can’t answer your question either, because I find it may be either hard or impossible to come up with an answer


They seem to ask how to phrase the same thing in such a way that you can’t come and reply that their tone is condescending.

Much passive, very aggression, I find it hard to side with people this snarky :(



Not sure this pricing crisis will not have an impact on consoles, too


Afaik, they patched it 5 days after release, so depends on how shortly after release you played.


I think, that may cause compatibility issues, but having persistent saves would indeed be nice


What I’d guess that the online stores are going to most likely do is have lawyers sit down, review the various countries that they sell games in, write up some list summarizing legal restrictions and embed that into their selling policy

That would be nice, but it’s very much not what we observe now


No, it’s just anything can be considered a sign that hl3 is 80% finished

Also, it may as well be, and then stay 80% finished for the rest of the century


I recently bought Samsung tags to track my cat, too. The app is available on Pixel but it doesn’t allow me to pair with the tag, so no, it’s a bit more complicated


A good link, maybe image may be harmful even if it’s without context


So, you’re suggesting we make games per hour subscription? A good idea /s


Although you may be right about why they did it, I feel like imagery of gambling is not meant to be ‘something that is in any way related to something that happens to be gambling’, it’s when gambling is shown but you’re not the one gambling. If someone in game is gambling that’s imagery, if a game uses cards for something that is not gambling it’s not imagery.


Maybe winning a game award while being solo developer studio, it feels like this to me



So… solitaire should be 18+ after all?



Now I want to start playing NMS, I’ve had it in my backlog for a while


I think that if replies are rare and spot on, it may be a good PR. But do it every time and it will just be a waste of time without any good results


I think the point is they either assume themselves to be right because no one argued, or because everyone who argued is brainwashed woke-zombie.

So if the result is the same, it may be wiser to skip the arguing part ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


They should’ve hired Uwe Boll as a director, at least they would’ve had an excuse then


At the same time movies based on a recognized intellectual property tend to omit crucial pieces of character and world building, because come on, the audience is supposed to know that.

And this is how they often produce garbage that is impossible to understand if you are not in the know, and impossible to watch if you are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


In my opinion, not all cinematic games are trying to be movies, some do it right and preserve the essence of what game is, about others we probably not hear too much except for how bad they turn out to be


This game is just soooo good (and almost as frustrating)


Yeah, it makes a nice deception, and is legally ok, or at least they thought so


Anarchy is a good description, yeah, discovering things on itchio is not easy, and I usually only come by external recommendations to specific projects


Although I agree that BG3 was not exactly well polished, it was far from being “blatantly unfinished”. I’d even say it was far more finished than what can be considered finished by contemporary standards


Getting their screen in front and collecting all the data they possibly can reach

I thought of getting a jailbroken Quest only to find that this is no longer possible to be done, so no Quest for me then
