Fascinating, and makes perfect sense. The only character you could viably write over every other one without conflict ist 1111111, after all.

I mean if they listen to Joe Rogan, they don’t seem to think much of themselves either tbh. That counts as self-harm.

Valve got Sony to hold off on the PSN account linking for Helldivers II, valve got Boeing to hold off on the Starliner launch. Impressive!

Not even that, but usually this comes with the actual big target on your back: Being publicly traded.

Now of course, you can be publicly traded without being a big corp, and you can be a big corp that is held privately. But usually these big corpos are the ones that are on the stock market, and yes, the moment that happens everything becomes secondary to your actual responsibility: To the shareholders. Line must go up! And an easy one is to fire more workers.

Prey retroactively devaluaed Dishonored for me - as amazing as those were at their time, Prey showed what really could be obtained from the formula, and perfected every aspect of it.

So as @infotainment said, they took down exactly one emulator. As you restated.

That’s because from a health perspective, alcohol in particular is an “end state drug”. It’s what you die with. It ruins you. Not as fast as heroine, but just as thoroughly.

Because the indie space is also a graveyard. Investors are increasingly wary of funding anything but a “guarantee” and plenty of studios have had to shutter because the funding they were promised was rescinded.

Maybe gaming has become too bloated as a concept if no company can ever produce a product with their own money any more, instead always listening entirely to investor cash.

but Dishonored, Deathloop, and Prey all did pretty well I thought

I thought Arkane Austin (the closed one) was only Prey of those. Which is a shame, because Prey was utterly fantastic.

Yeah the studio put out nothing but nice games. Sure, Ghostwire in particular wasn’t stellar, but it was also enjoyable and pretty well done. Evil Within was dorky, but in just the right way. Hi-Fi was phenomenal, and that alone should have seen them physically behead every single higher manager at Bethesda before they tough anyone at Tango.

But alas, apparently if it ain’t Fallout: Ghostwire or Fallout: Hi-Fi, then it doesn’t matter. Manager bonuses ain’t going to pay themselves (hrm… come to think of it, they do?), line has to go up!

Shouldn’t the normal size be 2? Given, well, the name?

To someone from central europe it’s always weird how houses get build from wood in the US. 😅 I imagine you can hear ~everything happening ~anywhere in the house?

You either never worked with anything that did actual agile (to be fair, most don’t) or you haven’t done development in a long time if you think that.

If you’re the Consort, that’s an important part of your endgame scoring! (Stationfall board game 😛)

Though the sequel to the 10th Anniversary (“Aufbruch der Kulturen”) was pretty cool because of its three asymmetrical factions.

No thank you, I won’t.

Well this one comes with rootkit DRM and season passes, so it’s no wonder it wants to be as online as possible.

I mean I want to give it the benefit of the doubt, no matter how much I dislike Funko Pops. But ugh, they don’t make it easy. Still, the Lego games are brilliant so I guess I’ll at least wait.

This is just shutting down an already outdated API. Devs should be moving off of it, and now it has a year out set for full removal instead of just being deprecated.

Why?

Yeah but what about the other 99% of cookie use cases?

Yeah same, bunch of my friends had been playing it for a week or two, but between the in game story, the season passes and the utterly intrusive DRM, I figured I’ll wait for a good sale at least. Well, guess I’ll be saving 100% on this, now!

I still don’t quite get why some people are defending manufacturers which remove the headphone jack on their phones…

Not defending, just utterly couldn’t care either way. 🤷

Power User is if you don't actually know how to close tabs, aye.
