I try to follow the emails also but its a hot mess. I can never understand any interesting developments. Its like reading AI jibberish.



I will advertise this to my friends, they have lots of young people in their circles that go through games at a good pace. This looks right up their alley.


Fuck Tim Sweeney with a linux powered dildo.

He is the reason linux gaming is being held back.


Steam’s recent update to carve out a category for demo’s is kinda what you are asking for. At least it is in the right direction, if devs follow it.


if they turned the procedural generator at people, food, supplies and weapons instead of the landscapes… game would have been amazing

the other problem was traveling, they needed to make travel a painful burden… because when it became a quick loading screen and you are there… omfg it ruins the stories the npc’s are trying to tell

wtf you left your crew out here to die?! it took me 5 minutes to get here…


I love nms. I have thousands of screenshots from this game going back to the first day of launch. Man how it’s changed. I only really play the expeditions now but I still love it so



That’s pretty cool. Where I work, there’s a computer museum and all of our stuff boots up and we have gotten them to load stuff but it’s a chore. We have an Apple Lisa but it’s a stupid thing. It’s best feature is the happy mac boot image and ding. Otherwise it’s useless.


the video for Alvvays song Many Mirrors is done by the same dev, its charming and I think it fists the song so well

(the song is a love song written by the guy in the band for the singer and the singer sings it. so cute!)


Son is a once in a lifetime player. Not even a Spur’s fan but I always enjoy him and his way.

That game he was involved in, where the opponent had that major fracture. And he had to leave the game because he was so emotional. That’s when I knew he was one of the greatest.



Put your arm behind you, on your back, and pretend that someone is pushing it up…

Then say it! Otherwise it’s not going to stop…

It being Uncle.

And I hope your days get better soon 👍



this is such a mess amazing collection of ideas!

I advertised it in a group of kids I know that love this kind of shit, hope it helps :)


It wasn’t added after launch. You could bypass it. Now they are changing that.


Eh, I knew it when I bought it. I didn’t know better and signed up. I wasn’t tricked and we all started the game that first time and were told about it


Yeah I hear that. At one point I was thinking why didn’t they turn the ai generator on the random shit instead of the world. Like there’s all these worlds and only one package type for everything? The immersion could have been amazing if there was 50 different packages of Chunks or whatever.


Red Dead is a work of art. It’s just shameful that Rockstar has neglected it.

Starfield is such a piece of shit, it actually gets me upset thinking about how bad of an experience it was. I finished it just so I would know how it turns over and I’m still angry about it. Thankfully I waited until it was less than $50



Do you launch it from Steam or from the desktop app? I have done both but rarely does it fail. When it does I quit it and launch it again and it works. You might try blasting out the app preferences


fascism and authoritarianism give easy answers

Because you don’t have to think about it, big brother does that for you. You just have to cheer the loudest and not ask any questions.



I own the first one and cant really find a drive to play it. IDK the main character just gives me uncanny valley repulsiveness. I made it about 8 hours in.


If you did fund it early, you got ships with unlimited insurance and the single player game is part of your package.



A little off topic

We used pidgin for short while at work. I got a ticket that this lady was getting out of disk errors. It was a new laptop so I was confused. I couldn’t find the culprit right away and ran windirstat on it. Pigin had created a 200+GB log file in her profile. I couldn’t believe it. We stopped using it shortly after that.



It was one of the most played game in the world. If they kept creating it like they did Warcraft, it would have printed money.


The people that I know that have worked at Amazon will tell you flat out its a shitty company. It is a common opinion that you do your early career there and then move on with it on your resume. Two years unless they throw a stack of cash at you. Thats all its worth.


Working at Microsoft was great until Steve Balmer. The thing that did me in was a couple of teams were meeting to discuss how MS could improve or look to invest in places that MS was not normally a player. I made a argument that Linux was not going away and that Microsoft should really start looking at how it keeps older systems going and how much e-junk is created because we (Microsoft) artificially make hardware obsolete.

Embracing Linux and admitting to playing with it at home was the final straw. My career at MS was over. One of my friends told me he overheard and saw it in writing and suggested that I look for a job outside of MS because they were going to make my life hell.

And just the other fucking day Microsoft annoyances that they are introducing SUDO to powershell. Fucking LOL

I work in the public sector now because fuck corporate IT


As popular as StarCraft was, I too cannot believe they didn’t keep milking that cash cow



The original Fallout is one of the great gaming experiences I have ever had. Fallout 2 was great and fixed a lot of the problems the first one had but the first one was something very special when it was fresh. It had the greatest user guide of all time. I have never seen a better guide. It stands on its own and the two together are part of what made it just so iconic.
