Subliminal messaging to encourage more PoP games.

“I’m still playing the 3DS! Stop fucking with me!”

No.

The RE4 restoration mod was allowed to release, and that Street Fighter x Mega Man fangame was - I think - even acknowledged by them. One of the fanmade Resident Evil 2 remakes was asked to cease production but the reporting made it sound less Nintendo aggressive than “this is cool but we kinda can’t let it continue,…

I’m locked in through sometime in 2024 and if that’s when it starts to get less good I’ll definitely weigh up the value of re-subscribing. I already feel like I’ve gotten great value out of it though, so at worst I’ll say “it was a great ride while it lasted”.

I don’t have much of substance to add (besides that Steph is great, fantastic, and wonderful) but this bit caught my eye:

It definitely doesn’t have to be cause for alarm, but goodness knows some people are going to cling to the idea that it is. In this modern age of “X game is dead” just because Johnny the Internet Poster has stopped playing it, even being the sixth-most popular game on a platform apparently isn’t enough.

Everybody who gave him that money chose to do so of their own accord. Piker doing super well off of being a Twitch streamer isn’t anywhere in the same league as the super-wealthy who should be taxed. He’s not abusing a system to keep the rewards other people’s labour flowing in, they’re choosing to hand over their…

I wonder how many of the self-described good leftists criticizing Piker for this are aware they’re doing exactly what the ruling class encourages: targeting each other instead of the folks who are actually creating problems.

It’s good every now and then to be reminded that there are entitled jerks in every country. Black, white, beige, we all kinda suck.

Worse than Broussard, even, because people turned on George before too long when he was doing things like playing World of Warcraft in the middle of the workday while telling people the whole team was focused on the game.

Sure, I screwed over the quasi-military Peacekeepers faction multiple times, outright lying to them a few times even, and worse. But they still let me hang out with them. I could still do quests for them and freely visit their faction bases and trade with them.

Seconded. I want *that* blockchain.

Felt like an entire second movie’s worth of plot ideas that they decided to just cram into this one.

This guy is scum but I can’t say I really feel all that bad for anyone who would call themselves a “fan” of his. I’ve followed content creators for years and none of them turned out to be cretins, it’s really not that difficult.

If you’re in negotiations to sell, especially to businesses like NYT, I imagine they don’t really care for you to be tweeting “yo I’m looking for someone to buy this thing, just gotta beat the highest bid!”

Just gotta cut in Big Phil on a little bit of the action and they’ll be home free.

Don’t have much to comment on vis-a-vis the price (because Steam has already decimated what people consider “value” in the PC market anyway) but I’m glad the trilogy is on Game Pass so I can finally play it in full.

This is all anecdotal but from speaking to fans of theirs on the forums I frequent, Paradox Interactive seems to be well aware of the kinds of people who are into historical settings. Generally they commit resources to the official discussion boards and community centers to squashing hate before it gets entrenched, as…

Piracy.
