@creepingdeath0: Good catch! I never even thought to check that. I just looked on all the major PC software stores and only saw it on Epic.

I've heard a lot of positive things about this game from fans of the series. It sounds like it's legitimately a pretty good game that you can essentially avoid all the monetization on if you just want...

Honestly, the only thing that's come close to old GB for me in the last few years for video game content in terms of vibe for me is the video game stuff Friends at the Table (Austin's RPG podcast) ha...

@allthedinos said: Of course, now Itch Dot IO is claiming that a farcical copyright strike generated by a brand-enforcing AI resulted in a total site shutdown, in a story that could have been a late c...

Thanks for the update!

Yeah I miss them too. The closest thing GB does to them now is the "GB Plays" streams. The only GB-adjacent group that I can think of that does classic style quick looks is Noclip (Danny O'Dwyer, etc...

@sethmode: Having played through a bunch of old JRPGs the last year or two, this somehow isn't surprising at all. Every time I finished one, I looked up what other people's reactions were and every ti...

I barely played any 2024 releases this year, and only one of which wasn't an early access cheap indie game. At some point I'll play Metaphor, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and maybe the new Like a Dragon...

@bigsocrates said: TLOU fanbase is super toxic to the point where I kind of hope they don't make another one. I think it's inevitable that they will though.100%. It's bizarre. It reminds me of those ...

Reading through this just reinforces how frustrating Microsoft's weird hubris about not copying the competition for this stuff is. Steam's cloud save system is far from perfect but at least it gives ...

Went with Ubisoft, Concord, and Microsoft. It was legit tough to pick a third one because Microsoft being incompetent, Yuzu blowing up everyone's spot on the emulation scene, Nintendo's lawyers using ...

@bigsocrates said: @atheistpreacher: Almost everywhere, especially with light moderation, is a cesspool now. I don't fully understand it, but I think it has to do with how the social media sites and t...

@allthedinos said:I'm pretty convinced that AC Shadows is the game that gets buried the most in that February 2025 gauntlet.Of all the games being released in that time window, AC Shadows is looking ...

@sparky_buzzsaw said:I don't mean this to sound at all crass towards the employees affected by this but man, I had no idea this even came out. I get that I'm not as connected to the games world as I ...

I'm sad for the people losing their jobs of course, but we saw this coming from a mile away. Even at release people were asking why XDefiant existed at all. The game did nothing to set itself apart f...

@bigsocrates said:Is there any doubt that companies are using basically EVERYTHING in their data sets? Microsoft's AI head basically said as much in a public interview. He said that if it's available...

@zombiepie said: Nonetheless, the prospect of Chrome being forced to split from Google presents an odd situation for consumers. As Ian Bogost of The Atlantic opined in a recent op-ed (paywalled conte...

It's impressive how many different ways they found to say the word "fuck".I didn't play this game but watched multiple streams of it (I don't do well playing horror games but I can watch them). I rea...
