Honestly this just looks like a ton of fun although the explicit branding iconography kind of makes it feel like it should be a bundle game. Still looks fun though

Depends on where you live too. I can see the northern lights where I’m at pretty regularly anyway but last night they went all kinds of crazy.

Hades 2 is exceptional. Their best game yet.

No but if you “just want to make cool and fun games” you wouldn’t fund Gears 5 or Halo Infinite now would you?

I don’t think that :/ I think his statements and the games he chooses to back sort of prove that ultimately profit is what he is interested in. I don’t blame him for that. But don’t make him out to be what he isn’t. He is a CEO first, being a fan of games falls lower on the list.

Yeah and there are tons of angles and gestures for human subjects that AI just can’t figure out still. Any time I’ve seen a “stunning” AI render it’s some giant FOV painting with no real subject or the subject takes up a 12th of the canvas.

I haven’t played Timberborn but I almost did pick it up on the spring sale, decided to get dotAGE instead to see what all the fuss was about and damn I love it. It’s a lot more of a worker placement game and is a roguelike so if that doesn’t interest you it might not be for you but damn it’s good so far.

If it helps try thinking of it as a “boomer shooter” because of the proliferation of rockets and rocket physics in classic games like Unreal and Quake

All of the Virtute The Cat songs by The Weakerthans, but Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure in particular will make me tear up any time I hear it.

(for those curious, here are all 3 songs):

He’s saying that by saying “if we make an exception for you we have to make an exception for everyone” you are not even entertaining the notion that the person you make an exception for just keeps it a secret.

This is now the 4th time they’re trying? Give it up already…

Pretty sure that was a teaser for OD, his upcoming horror project currently in dev. I don’t think Physint is yet being made.

I definitely would love to see a rework of the network stack at large but idk how you’d do it without an insane amount of cooperation among tech giants which seems sort of impossible

They “supported” a bill that they immediately circumvented, yeah. They had no interest in protecting right to repair they just wanted the PR. It should surprise no one that they’re opposed to actual bills that force them to alter their business practices.

These companies tend to own or have long term leases, so either they are stuck paying rent and have to justify the expense or they own an asset that is depreciating in value and they could stop that from happening by spending no money to force their employees back into the office. You have to think about the big money, too. Real estate is a cornerstone asset for big money, many banks and real estate empires hold these enormous office buildings and society trending towards WFH means those buildings are rapidly losing their value.

God I loved that game, my partner loved watching me play it too which is super rare lol

Yeah I’ve been really enjoying the building in single player but I’m beginning to feel like I need to hit up multiplayer to get as much as I can out of the experience as it is now. I wish they would release a road map

Been playing a lot of Valheim and Trailmakers this week to get myself in the mindset for the upcoming Enshrouded EA release

Ooph yeah “87%” sounds a lot better than the picture looks for sure but I bet it’s still much more useful for swimming than it was before

I’m having lobster tail, mushie peas and unclel Ben’s rice. It’s not the most elaborate meal but it’s comforting and delicious.
