It has, but not for everyone. They’re randomly offered to players, but I’m unsure of any hidden criteria to trigger the pop-up.


What, you didn’t see the pretty flower at the end?


Regular phone browser.


Something very chill. Your brain needs rest, more so if you’re running a fever.


No offense, but your history makes you seem like an ad bot.


In the post, the YouTube link is above and the video is below. Initially, the video was viewable directly, then on subsequent visits it changed.


Gore porn, yay! This trailer could be interpreted as a fundamentalist vegan ad. “Beware the sin of flesh in all its forms, for it shall bring forth the wrath of the elder gods!! Yield and repent! Return to Floral and partake in their flowering seeds!”


You probably know more about YouTube channel controls than i do. Anyway, piefed, in a post. The video worked at first, then it didn’t.

Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner.

Huh. Imagine that.



Is it sad most of the games I play aren’t eligible for nomination?


Reality is that ethics are subjective restrictions we place on ourselves and each other. When these restrictions aren’t maintained, the choice of harming another for one’s self benefit loses its inherent consequencial dread.

Those who don’t fear the results of their actions cannot weigh the possible risks involved. And when there are no risks seen, only the possible benefits remain.


The part where they buy a skin to show off.


It’s less about the value to children and more about exploiting that to extract money without any regard to the children’s wellbeing. Crappy toys would be purged in a more ethical state of the world instead of being allowed to thrive and take over.


If that ain’t proof microtransactions are a bane on society, then we’re already too corrupt to care.



I think it’s more to do with its ongoing clash against Tencent. If they allow this to keep going, it may damage their chances on that side as well.


As per my understanding, Sweet Baby Inc was/is a DEI consultant that would advise on accurate portrayal of minorities in games that wished to have them represented.

How accurate they were/are or how much their input is being used, I can’t say, however the easily swayed have taken to the idea 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 (the MAGAts that is).


As i recall, the files were user submitted so it was more of a tacit consent of plagiarism.


I remember when Gamefaqs was hated for stealing individual creators’ walkthroughs. Obviously, that didn’t pan out.


What’s the blue middle one? Don’t recognize the icon.


They’re already unemployed. And the rest will be unemployed once development is deemed “done”, as is the industry standard.


It might have been higher in the past or it is higher in tournaments, can’t say. But yes, cash out twice to win.





I’ve had Airship: Kingdoms Adrift for a while and gave it a go. It’s got neat broadside naval combat in the air and you can customize components in ports. There’s a small chance to capture enemy ships under certain conditions and make yourself a fleet or send trade convoys on their own from port to port.

It has a main mission though and kinda acts like a tutorial so, not sure how far along one has to follow it to unlock everything.
Butt the mission rewards are kind of silly. Gave me some warehouse plans to increase port storage, but no idea when I’ll get to use it or where, if at all.
Need resources probably, but i didn’t get that far and the costs are way above what i can poach.
Then gave me a piece of equipment too big for the ship I have, so again, useless at the moment.

Anyway, feels off. Maybe I’ll get back at it, maybe not… Who knows.



Not just your experience, all of the games I’ve seen have a steady pulse of reviews about giving up due to of older players shitting on newbies, with devs silently endorsing it or having their hands tied by management because either “that’s the way it’s meant to be played” or they have a microtransactions shop and this toxicity encourages petty rage spending to catch up.

And it works, because despite the mixed or barely positive reviews, these games still enjoy a steady stream of players enjoying the cycle of abuse.

I’d consider it an exploitation of the “do unto others what was done unto me” psychological thing we humans tend to have going on.


GOG isn’t really recommended for games still being actively worked on. At heart it’s meant for complete games ready for archiving.


It may be that some games are dropping the ball and so players are looking to flock somewhere else.

For example, Helldivers 2 has some loud complainers who advertised both Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders as potential alternates. Word of mouth can do a lot of damage if the mouth is loud and persistent enough.


Guess it’s really Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2: The Masquerade instead.


Installed Reverse: 1999 on Monday or so and already have over 20+ hours of play time.
Nonetheless, it’s a gacha game, so I’m slowly reaching the ceiling.
There are several mini-modes to waste your time in and sadly, they’re fun to play - for a while at least.
Don’t know how long this will last, but if you’re into gacha games with weird plots and a ton of words and audio, this thing has plenty of 'em.


Plenty of games have features that rarely get used or no longer attract interest after some years. So the ones that do and do it well should be appreciated.

And yes, seeing mentors on the map can get weird when you don’t know what’s going on with them. Real weird.


Yeah, I’m actually very thankful of veterans on GW2. Even now there’s a system in place where they take charge of world boss raids and help the newbies complete them for the extra rewards.


This will fail because the mainstream players are toxic assholes. Then again, that result will be a success in itself, just not for the game.


If you Really want to try it out, a helpful steam user, as much as steam users can be helpful, suggested using a streaming service such as GeForce now to play it even on Linux.

I’m not sure, but I believe this bypasses the many requirements this “game” needs.


I remember that originally it was Microsoft’s online attachment to the game which created most problems, that whatever Live service. Getting rid of it solved many of the initial issues. Then, only the Bethesda induced issues remained.


Suddenly felt like playing something with friendly fire.

Tried Counterstrike 2, but I lost 5 rounds to bots of the introductory 12 and it let me know I’m not that able anymore. Then I remembered I had Hell Let Loose and went for that. Yeah, I suck. Can’t see anyone, feels like the foliage is useless to hide me out of sight, I build the wrong things in the wrong places etc.
But it has friendly fire and I’m good at that.
