It’s been Jackbox every year for the past 8+ years. A side-effect of hosting the New Years Eve party for a bunch of gamers.

Billionaire Trump adviser said his ‘significant investments’ in the country justified his wading into German politics

At least we agree: his wealth is everyone’s problem. The difference is that I think it’s time we do something about it.

Problem is, I own most of the games on the Steam front page, so finding new and interesting games is getting difficult.

This. I feel totally underwhelmed by the sale this year because everything on the front page I already either own or have no interest in. I know the discovery queue exists, but it primarily tries to feed me the same jank I already know exists.

Ah yes, an excellent rebuttal, more elitism.

While it would have been nice for OP to mention this, honestly dude, fuck off. People can decide for themselves if they want to install Epic for a free title without this kind of toxic, elitist discourse.

If I found myself in Florida, I’d pull out before I finish too.

This Fanta coloured asshole is going to openly flirt with the idea of invading Canada to save us from ourselves, I guaran-fucking-tee it.

Man, calling this a snub is a misnomer to begin with.

One winner and five nominee’s. Let’s not downplay being in the top 6 nominations for “best game of the year” as “losing.” It’s an incredible achievement no matter how you look at it.

Why is it so hard just to say “this was not out intention, we recognize it was bad, and we are sorry.”

There’s a lot of words here for a non-apology.

I’m not sure why we’re censoring these names to begin with. It’s not like Facebook posts come with any reasonable expectation of privacy.

I played Dauntless a little bit in the early days. It was extremely simplified Monster Hunter with little of the charm.

On the other hand… this feels like I would be calling it out as manipulative FOMO bullshit were it any other company.

While I hesitate to type this as it might be perceived as viewing a corporation as a friend, the intent matters, and GOG has a different history than the majority of FOMO abusing game companies. Did they identify that this is probably an opportunity to push some sales? Sure, probably. But I am chill permitting them that right when they’re visibly working to remove FOMO as a commercial strategy.

Undertale is such a bolt of lightning. It both depends on its player having experience with traditional JRPG and having no fucking clue what it is. But when the conditions line up, as it did for many people at release, it was such a master fully crafted experience. But even the slightest amount of “it’s good because…” really siphons part of the experience away.

I get why you’d remove the names for posting here, but I hope you’ve forwarded the unredacted versions to the police. Even when this laws are in place, visible evidence of abusing these laws to justify sexually abusing minors will remain a crime. In fact, these statements remove the “in good faith” part from the equation, and turn it back into illegal abuse.

It’s fucked that we even have to toe this line, but action should still be taken.

We need a term for a Freudian slip caused by mobile autocorrect. Because “wallet garden” is extremely accurate, even if it’s not the intended word choice.

The game can collect data, if that’s what they’re after.

My theory is that it’s all about advertising. It’s another point of contact with the consumer, and another opportunity to make sure every new release is presented to every potential buyer.

I don’t see how that statement refutes the problem being something to do with kernal level access. It’s entirely possible that the 24H2 update changed something that is playing poorly with the DRM in these titles.

And importantly, isn’t that the point of proposing a global wealth tax? Unless they plan on taking their wealth to Mars, they’ll be stuck paying in, were everyone to play along.

Yes, I know, wishful thinking, but that is the proposal.

Calling Warcraft Rumble an RTS is like putting a hamburger patty on a plate and calling it a steak. You’re technically correct, but you’ve also completely missed the point in what people want.
