You might want a pirate steam copy if it's one of the games that isn't properly updated on gog, which is unfortunately common with newer (2016+) games

Buy on gog if it's there. Buy on steam otherwise. Keep a pirate copy handy either way.

Dwarf Fortress goes with Blender and the others

It's really weird how getting old nowadays means "I know how to do this shit FOR FREE" for so many computer related things. Give me 1h and I'll handpick 60+ images to rotate as wallpapers.

Also, sometimes games on gog don't receive DLC or patch updates because the devs/publisher forget or don't care. I remember seeing an extensive list of games, ~250, explaining what they had missing. I think A Hat in Time was one of the worst offenders

Here's a gog forum post on the problem - https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_is_it_truly_more_difficult_for_developers_to_update_their_games_on_gog/page1

I can think of several reasons:

  • get information on Russian forces
  • lower Russian morale
  • let Ukrainians die first because it's more profitable
  • make Ukraine a debt-slave state to its NATO sponsors
  • go in guns blazing in order to save Ukraine so NATO gets good press
  • force Ukraine to sign all sorts of deals that will leave the country at the complete mercy of big western corpos

Indeed. <absurdly long wall of expository text>, that's why you must press on with the mission!

I'd be a bit more hands on, forcing him to do certain tasks and when he's about to reach the item, enter buy mode, misplace the thing, unpause.

I'll try to dial back my time on lemmy because I've noticed that I spend way, way more time here than I ever did back on reddit

Some of you might remember when a 3mb flash animation could pack in some 5 minutes of animation, with the more advanced ones even having chapter/scene selectors, which could also include clickable easter eggs and other kinds of interactions during the scenes.

Before TempleOS, there was Snatcher on the PC-88

Sega released an ad that was pretty much that "Sega does what Nintendon't", comparing Sonic Racing Crossworlds with Mario Kart World. Gotta love how, to avoid a lawsuit, the graphics for the "open world racing" is pixelated censor.

PocketPair announced Palfarm^[Which I hope is a real game and not just an out of season April 1st like More than Just Pals], with the textboxes being ripped straight out of Animal Crossing and even their own not-Ankha. For a company whose chief game is being constantly forced to remove features because of shitty patents, this feels like the perfect taunt and middle finger

Here's to hoping more companies decide to poke fun at Nintendo

Seems to be the only Bethesda game that Steam flagged for the review bomb.

EDIT: Check the comments for the tweet that sparked the stupid outrage. A screenshot from the newest Indiana Jones game.

The Falcon030 microbox was designed to be used either vertically or horizontally. Image source - https://www.atarimuseum.de/falcon030.htm

The funny thing is that I was looking into assembly compilers on wikipedia, which led to external reading about rmac, which then led to MiNT, which finally led to the Atari Falcon

This is probably my only gripe with digital music, it can be fucked up and you'll have no clue as to what layer is responsible for it not sounding "as it really should". Hell, you won't even know what it actually should sound like!

And players that skip the first bit of the music, as if every music began with 1 second of nothing. Learn to code so it only plays AFTER it's fully done loading, ffs
