Two games I was looking forward to, both launching on the same day. One has Denuvo (civ 7), the other has not (KCD2). Guess which one I'm going to be playing.

Rule of thumb:

  • are you making fun or otherwise mocking someone?
  • are you doing it for any "bad reason" whatsoever?
  • are you doing something that is/was primarily done by others for "bad reasons", historically?
  • are you doing something that other groups started doing as a replacement for something else that they were not allowed to (that you are)?

I'm half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn't, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.

Unlikely to ever happen, but Xenogears.

Did not expect to see a Croc game ever again. Now all we're missing is Gex.

Some projects will end up being a waste of resources, but others end up printing a ton of money.

I'm just curious because I've made some jokes in a thread about snipers before and I wonder if that triggered anything. But now with this article I realize that even if that one didn't, my recent comment "I wish I could know if I have ever been investigated by the FBI" might have. And if neither did, then maybe this new one might.

Crap, I might go as well and say "hey FBI, investigate me". So that I can now be sure.

...unless Lemmy is still out of their automatic tools?

I considered adding more to the joke here but got afraid it would be going too far. I think I'll write a short story about someone who gets so paranoid about knowing if he's on the FBI list or not that they end up actually doing some terrorism act just to be sure they are.

If I understood correctly is demanding payments from WP Engine for offering competing services using wordpress.

I was making a source-available farm game around the same time that stardew valley came out. Worked on it for about 7 years total mostly on my free time from work. Shortly after SV came out I got a ton of hate from its new fans because I was "stealing from ConcernedApe" and stuff like that. I ended up giving up on the project after a while. And now these days pretty much every rpg has farm mechanics on it.

That's not my experience with steam at all. Only one or two options of the steam store tend to show AAA games over indie games. If you browse by category or using the dynamic recommendation you'll see plenty of good games.

I wouldn't mind a fighter with the range of a bomber. I end up never using fighters unless I'm being invaded because of its short range, but the initial biplanes can only be remodeled into fighters so I'll end up having a couple of them every time. I still need to give the P-51 mustang a try, they seem to have a slightly better range.

Ok that may take a few years.
