I can't wait to find out how many games get turned off the second you hit the equivalent of the jump button.

Playing it myself now and I feel a lot of the specific energy of games like Zwei and Nayuta, for sure.

As someone who has been into this series since Sky FC was the only game available in English, it's absolutely worth it, but trying to marathon them or hurry through to catch up is definitely the worst way to do it. These games are meant to be played slowly when you have the time to do so.

And if what they've said about it only being used in the concept art and prototyping is true, they won't be able to take it out. Everything that made it into the game will be handmade, but built on an unchangeable bedrock of GenAI.

They've mentioned they're going to add Beastmaster as a second limited job at some point this expansion. I wonder if that'll be any different or if it'll just end up as a checklist like Blue Mage.

Yeah, "indie" is such a nebulous term, since plenty of games we actually think of as indie games do have publishers. There needs to be some kind of line in the sand like budget or team size to separate small indie devs from larger ones that just aren't owned by a big publisher.

"Ekko no longer occasionally floats away." I don't play 2XKO, but does that mean there was SFxTekken Megaman-style bug with him? That's hilarious.

It's not even self-published. They had a separate publisher, Kepler Interactive. This is Dave the Diver all over again.

It just benefits the CEOs who trick investors into giving them tons of money, and then use that money to give themselves pay raises because "look how good the stocks are doing!" Then when it inevitably craters because it's not actually making money, they can just parachute away like D.B. Cooper.

That's always my favourite way to try and damage control accidental spoilers: just lie. Lie through your teeth.

The price and the simplicity, I'd say. I don't want to have to deal with figuring out PC parts and such, I just want something that works well out of the box. The Steam Deck and now the Machine directly address that for me, so I'm not seeing much reason to buy any future (non-Nintendo) consoles.

As someone who always wanted to do more PC gaming but hates trying to figure out all the parts, the Steam Deck has been a godsend. A more powerful one built specifically for plugging into a monitor is exactly what I want, since I already use the Deck like that for some games.

You can't use AI for QA for the same reason you can't rely purely on test scripts when programming: because it's limited by what you tell it to do. It can't find a mistake you didn't tell it to try and find. That's why human testing can never be replaced, because human minds work in unexpected ways.

I just bought Prey (2017) for 9 dollars CAD. Apparently these skins are worth as much as 3 Preys.

Uh oh. I just scheduled mine for Wednesday. Whelp, maybe I'll have an excuse to take a day or two off, lol.

Having already rolled credits, it basically adds a great NG+ mode with new content. If you're partway through, they should have just let you finish it with the original, unpatched version so you can then do the incantation to redo it from the beginning clean.

Clown makeup had to redone to celebrate the new Balatro-themed Vampire Survivors update?

Yeah, getting it installed is the hardest part. If it just came pre-installed, the average person would have no trouble.

2XKO, to use an example Pat is actively playing, doesn't work at all because its DRM is built to only work with Windows.

Yeah, the most challenging thing would be figuring out how to install it in the first and choosing which distro. Once you've got that done it's smooth sailing. The complex stuff people are scared of only applies if you're using it for software development.

Considering in the original myth Melinoe was fathered by Zeus rather than Hades, they're not afraid to play around with who is the parent of who when it comes to minor, obscure figures. So I'd say it's still a possibility.

Pat, Pokemon games are 99% single player RPGs. The multiplayer is a side thing that not many people actually play.

They were doing so good I actually started to hear normal people using "Xbox" as a generic term to refer to any video game console. I can't believe how thoroughly they squandered that.

I'm interested in at least trying it, but I'd like to play it on a platform where I don't have to install kernel level anticheat, thank you.
