Where’s the livecam? Nintendo’s squandering an opportunity for crowd-sourcing their security at no cost. ..... ..... Hm, I bet a lot of conventions could get away with that. Uh, don’t put the turrets on Twitch Plays, though.

Cheat Engine is an undervalued tool in gaming community. Even just being able to pause games whether or not devs decided that option was “too casual” is excellent.

Had no idea there were mobile ports for Pirates. Still play every few years on PC. In retrospect, it almost seems like it was made for touchscreens with that numlock GUI. Seems like it’d look good on a tiny screen, too. The way they handled music transitions was amazing, and I wish we saw more devs try it, but having…

Eh. If Obsidian wanted to do another Fallout-style game, they have plenty of other IP they could work with, or could even do it themselves. An Obsidian-made 2000 AD game would almost certainly be fantastic, for example.

Would be nice. Some single games have so many content packs (Whatever Simulators, especially), they can be $1k themselves. I spend a bit over $2k on Steam annually for past 3 years.

I haven’t updated my steam db since April, but the total value of games listed then was ~$115k (this does not include content packs or…

I like this for a couple reasons, one obvious (yay generous dev/pub for being nice), one left-field, so I’ll expand on the bizarre one.

If the audio file’s loose, might be worth risking an auto-ban to modify it themselves. Can’t imagine losing appeal if there is actually an appeals process.

Anyone have similar word game recommendations for PC (preferably on Steam)? I have the Popcap Bookworm series, and a version of Boggle and Scrabble from ~forever ago. Steam amazingly only has 6 games total with the “word game” tag, so hoping a bunch are just missing the tag.

(I’d never heard of Words for Evil, which is…

I was reading all this “hey, we should kill this guy for drawing pedophilic art,” “incest is cool and normal,” “creators should just expect needles in fan food, you big dummy!” and I thought I was still reading the article about toxic fans, but it was just the Kotaku comments section.

okay, but People Who Chat in Twitch get this way while watching (for hours) scripts crash a car into a wall playing GTA V, too.

I agree, but the game’s best-in-class and they’ve added good new content and fixes to the base game since release, so am pretty willing to forgive them and buy during Summer/Winter sales.

......... he cast his line over a fucking bridge.

Pizza Tycoon.

we just play Path of Exile, now :p

(and turn off global chat, for God’s sake!)

note to self: start wearing NES-themed clothes, hope for subconscious associations.

I think it’s more a patience thing.

“I GOT THE UHH..... I FOUND THE THING IN THE SWIMMING PLACE, BUT I COULDN’T... did grandma eat all the ice cream?”
“It’s still in the freezer.”
Two minutes pass.
“I SWIMMED AROUND REALLY FAST BEFORE BUT THE RED GUY KILLED ME - THE CONTROLLER DOESN’T WORK BECAUSE IT’S BEEN OFF TOO LONG -…

If anyone interested, the original cryptocurrency MMO (beyond forum games) was Dragon’s Tale. No idea if still around, but fascinating how much work they put into it when Bitcoin was still tiny - was a giant 3D casino world with stunning amount of depth and variety (for example, some made a livable wage as a mentor,…

I guess I’m too old to tell the difference between satire and racism anymore. Is altright.com supposed to be taken straight-faced or not? “Nerd” and “cuck” are both hand-reveal words to use as an insult which’d indicate satire, but saying that after Charlottesville is over the line. -Like I could peruse Stormfront a…

The size of the skeleton it’d take to roll in that...

Cities:Skylines where you take first-person control of citizens and respond to crimes in progress.... rouguelite carry-over of cards (abilities/improvements) between people you possess. I’m not sure how to work melee weapons in there (bullet-time??), but this seems entirely doable as a mod with existing mod tools &…
