This comes across as absolutely bizarre to me. It’s a for-profit company that is owned by CD Projekt.

If it was an actual foundation it would be different, but “donating” your money so one of the most profitable game companies can make more money seems like a weird thing to do.

The Video Game History Foundation has existed for close to nine years and is actually a non-profit.

Ah got it!

It’s honestly crazy how many companies it’s been attached to

I’m not sure I follow.

WarnerMedia owned Warner Bros from 1990-2022. WarnerMedia was called WarnerMedia because they owned Warner Bros.

It’s the same company, since the 1970s. Kinney Corporation merged with Warner to become Warner Communications. They owned… Warner Bros.

Warner Communications became WarnerMedia. They owned Warner Bros. Source.

In 1990, they merged with Time and became Time Warner. And so on. Again, it was called AOL Time Warner because they owned Warner Bros.

You can also see it on the Warner Bros. page under “parent”

This is starting to feel like advertising for Netflix.

Even before they bought one of the most passed-around media companies (Warner was owned by AOL, for god’s sake), the media wouldn’t shut up about the possibility of Netflix owning things.

SSX series—? Err

I have an Anbernic RG35XXH and an RG34XX. I like them both; the 35 feels a bit better in my hands but I like the color of the glacier 34XX.

I’ve been using the Knulli firmware and it has been quite nice.

Came here to make sure someone said OpenTTD! I got the original when I was about 12 in 1994 and I’ve been playing it on and off since then.

The Burnout games are underrated!

I just downloaded Burnout Paradise again and it holds up pretty well.

If they do it for others, like in film, tv, or theater, they’re also called costume designers.

Always seemed like a neat career!

This is fascinating because I think the core gameplay of the Grand Theft Auto games — what you have to complete to progress the narrative — has never been very good. Since the very beginning, the top-down games.

The hype is always out of this world, but once you sit down and play it’s always extremely simplistic. The core gameplay is made to slow you down, not be interesting. They even add unexplained superpowers (being able to slow down time in gunfights) in an attempt to make the gameplay more interesting.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the guy who produced GTA 3-5 didn’t actually know how to make core gameplay fun.

That way of playing Stellaris sounds really cool! It makes me want to install Stellaris again

It’s one of my favorite sequences from any game!

I really appreciate this, you just saved me at least $20.

Microsoft’s user experience is awful at every step in a browser. I wanted to like XBox but it’s clear why they’re losing.

I have been playing Crusader Kings III a bit, though I don’t know if I’m driven to continue.

I appreciate how complex the game is, and I find the kinda-historical aspects interesting… but I’m not sure if it’s a game I want to actively play, or a game that I’m glad exists but isn’t really for me.

Which city builder? I think I have 300 hours in Cities Skylines by now

It’s not just you! Forza Horizon has been the main series of video game I looked forward to. I loved 3 and 4.

It didn’t take long for 5 to concentrate fully on the weekly bullshit and making the game more about puzzles and Hot Wheels-style excitement than driving.

This is the first Horizon game in over a decade that I couldn’t care less about. It just feels like a sad shell of the previous games.

Reticulating splines

The graphics look nice. The colors remind me of the original Sonic the Hedgehog

What a cool idea!
