Unfortunate. Competition is generally good for the consumer and I’d hate to see one of more more customer-friendly storefronts go away.

Full agree. I do want some kind of policy for games that introduce anti-cheat both during early access and after release. Bricking a game you paid for should offer some sort of recourse.

I only play online games with friends because I don’t feel like dealing with fuckheads in my spare time. That does mean there are a lot of games which are probably cool but I won’t play because they are meant to be played in lobbies.

Y’all motherfuckers need Torm.

I’m not convinced Paradox knows what they are doing as publisher. Millenia was similarly pushed out the door before it was ready (though in a better state than Cities: Skylines 2). And both games pushed out the door in the last week of the quarter in a transparent effort to boost their earnings. The shortsightedness of the publisher is now impacting their reputation in ways that will be hard to recover. I no longer consider buying Paradox published titles until they are at least a year old or have at least a few months of reviews showing they are solid (like AoW4).

So many ways to have fun in DF!

Hanging on with 1.70E-31 health.

This doesn’t make sense to me. Kool-aid man is obviously a golem made from glass, crystal, diamond or transparent aluminum, something that can withstand impact with walls, though we can’t rule out magical reinforcement.

The fluid inside him isn’t used for biological processes, he is just carrying it around. If you empty him, he can just be refilled.

I think Pong, but I can’t remember if I played it before getting the Atari XT. The first game I played on that was Galaxian.

I had one ask me why I wasn’t helping the tortoise. Definitely some advanced detection going on.

Shadow of the Forbidden Gods - a strategy game where you play as the ancient cthonic entity waking up because the stars are right. Set in a fantasy world where the forces of good slowly become aware of the coming apocalypse and attempt to forestall your return. You have to get past the janky UI and some dreadful AI art, but the gameplay is unique and satisfying.

While it’s good to be skeptical, algae tanks like this are actually a good idea for the use-cases for which they are designed. Places where trees would be difficult and expensive to grow. The tanks more efficiently capture carbon, require less maintenance, produce fertilizer as a byproduct and the solar panels on the tank produce enough extra power for there to be a USB charger on the bench. The goal isn’t to replace trees with tanks but to use them where it makes sense to do so.

If Death is so scary, why do I keeping running into slash fic for the new Puss-in-Boots movie?
