Nope, refers to the games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_(video_games)

Homebrew’s less of a thing now because most console companies have embraced indie development (even Nintendo). It was previously a big deal to get a game on a console, requiring you go through the publishing oligopoly.

Super Mario 64 and Half-Life are homebrew like Bud Light. Youtuber is promoting piracy, not homebrew.

Rural Unit 275, early access indie horror game, now available for $3.99 on Steam. Same great foggy wooden fence maze with small utility buildings map, now with different spooky gore woman gliding along in T-pose. Each purchase includes one of three uniquely-shaded poofing fog man silhouettes, or purchase the deluxe…

Friendly reminder to flip off power for outlet receptacles you replace.

That’s how it’s worked here. The gradual transition from chance to strategy games seems essential and largely fits what the OP source is referring to without potentially confusing the kid by making their strategies not work because the parent arbitrarily decided they should stop working.

It’s seemed to work much like…

Side-note: PLEASE disclose if you use fish sauce and serve it to people. It’d likely kill me. Less common food allergy, but has a habit of eliciting particularly severe reactions, so adding it as a seasoning in unexpected places would be very worrying.

Is this a common corporate reaction to drug use in Japan?

It might be a fun thought exercise to wonder who would replace all the Hollywood actors; e.g. who’d replace Nicholson in The Shining?

Enough people didn’t catch the giveaways in “Great Leap Forward” and really lame whatabout misdirection on fish conservation that I explicitly revealed the post was satire, but those posts seem to’ve been removed (wasn’t me!).

I think my favorite reply was that cultural and political commentary have no place in talking…

Why is a game glorifying or otherwise “about” murder okay, but a game about rape is not? I feel like this is a really dumb question I should know the answer to, so feel free to be rude in replies.

I’ve been taking advantage of Steam’s family library & categories to give daughter a curated list of age-appropriate games to choose from. She’s mostly taken to exploration games so far at ages 6-7, Slime Rancher & Terraria in particular.

What I’ve most struggled with is trying to suggest an end point, because she…

Confused. Google’s notification states the video was flagged for review (I assume this bit was the algorithm) and THEN they reviewed it (which I assume was a human). Am I misinterpreting that, or has Google created a learning AI to review its hard-coded flagging algorithm?

having flashbacks to PC not loading the next zone before the boat starts moving, and zoning in only to fall into shark-populated ocean. First time I couldn’t retrieve a corpse before expiry (before fancy safety nets like the uhhh... Plane of Retrieving Your Corpse so You Don’t Lose Everything on Your Body, or whatever…

I would like to immediately state support for development of Kingdom Hearts, but snack mascots. House brands instead of Nobodies, bootlegs instead of heartless, CPM instead of STR, set in a Walmart connected to new Walmarts as Elon Musk bores connecting tunnels for hyperloops (to rapidly transport employees to stores…

“Hey, Ray, what’s this ‘RCT’ VM that’s been on the work cluster since I started? The normal password doesn’t work for it.”


“Oh, don’t delete that. It’s the uhhh, time server. I misnamed it; should be ‘RTC.’ We have a bunch of older servers that rely on it. You’ll basically take everything down if you touch it. Very…

Unofficial fan translations are more than enough for myself, fwiw. Depends on who did it, but it’s typically people who write and read both languages exceptionally well who take on these projects, and are far superior to most official translations we suffered through in the 90s (and sometimes still today!). It’s a…

It’d be a sort of impressive if he could consistently curate some of the IP-infringing Chinese/Russian knock-off stuff, tbh. He probably wouldn’t want to stay in the US or EU, but it’d be interesting. This stuff is rife on Amazon (particularly the handheld emulators, many made to look like a PSP or Vita), and a good…

Those are #FakeGames. #RealGamers use #RealROGamersHardware to play unoptimized high-powered games like PUBG. Only a fucking idiot wouldn’t want ray tracing on their mobile telephone; buying an ROG phone today is like pre-ordering that technology; we need to rise up and show there’s demand for it.

Bluetooth is integrated (or added via USB dongle) in most desktop and laptop PCs where the mics can be easily disabled if they even exist. Phone mics are more troublesome, I agree, and yes, in asker’s case, he does seem to be ignoring the most obvious always-on microphone which is probably right next to him or in…

Not to ruin the game, but you can completely ignore hiding supply boxes as they move; the guest happiness penalty is trivial.

I do like Parkitect, though. I’m not sure if I like it more than OpenRCT2. It has the same issue all of them in the genre do (Planet Coaster, RCT, Parkitect), being that the management side’s…

Hm. I was thinking about what a PitA some of this would be to control on a standard keyboard & mouse and remembered you could pretty much build whatever you want and map it as you please given KSP allows things to be “granular” (e.g. thrust %, motor/servo power; and then of course bind whatever special dedicated functi…
