I think there’s a pair of such in Minnesota who share a single body with two heads. I vaguely remembered hearing they got married, but according to wikipedia… Only one of them got married. That must be an awkward sex life.

Not sure if sarcasm, but in case you’re not American, Uncle Sam is a personification of the US, best known in the “I WANT YOU” WW2 enlistment posters. iirc, the name goes as far back as the war of 1812, wherein large stocks of rations were engraved with the initials U.S. which was then attributed to the provider “Uncle Sam” despite actually standing for “United States”

This is a natural state of the industry. For every big name series, you get a wave of [series]-likes. There are Mass Effect-likes and Call of Duty-likes and Disco Elysium-likes and Soulslikes and the list goes on and on.

Nintendo has had a stranglehold on creature catcher games for decades and the fact that there’s slop is only news as it relates to the palworld lawsuit. We’ve already had temtem and casette beasts and many, many more, for years. This is an anomaly, like soulslike games getting the amount of media attention they did, not in that there are copycats, but that we’re paying attention to the copy cats.

Reminds me of a guy I worked with who bragged that the greatest achievement of his career was building algorithms for insurance companies.

Tell me you’re a piece of shit without telling me, really.

The fact that payout is based on engagement is kind of disappointing. Was hoping this would be a good middle ground for indies putting out first games or trying to make names for themselves to get their feet in the door, but it sounds like that probably won’t be the case, and thus, I’m not sure what problem this subscription is trying to solve.

That being said, it might be a fun way to ensure everyone in a group has a copy of a multiplayer game to run on a Friday night

A quarter decade was 2024. I think you meant a quarter century?

Man you’re gonna love this game called dead space

iirc, the steam survey data isn’t always well distributed, and so it isn’t the most reliable. Sometimes most of the surveyed are in China and the swings are more relevant to usage there, and then when the next survey comes out the shift is more based on demographic than broad trends. That being said, we will been seeing consistent growth on linux usage across the board for months so I don’t think this is a fluke

I’m interpreting your name as relevant

I wish cooptimus was better maintained. The “Online multiplayer: x-y players, LAN multiplayer: z-n players, combo multiplayer? Yes/no” is so simple and easy to execute and yet nowhere else does it.

Idk if this is the case on modern console physical releases, but having these numbers on the box, and correctly represented, used to be a hard requirement for getting your game onto a platform. N64 games had it on the front of box. PS2 games in a set of details on the back. It’s such a nice quality of life informational feature that falls between the cracks on steam because of how tags are done.

Yep. New set every Thursday

I’m still not over the statement that consumers shouldn’t need to know whether AI assets are in a game or not, and Epic won’t be doing that even if Steam does. Couldn’t help but get in their own way every step

And I think we can safely assume that anon isn’t living the healthiest lifestyle

Afaik, most ED is caused by being out of shape. The penis is basically a blood balloon, and your heart has to work hard to keep it inflated. If you aren’t doing any sort of cardio, you can fall below that threshold. Luckily, that means with some cardio, most of the time it can be reversed

I can fully believe that incels have programmed themselves to the level of having dreams like this

Still waiting for a new F-Zero (99 was appreciated, but not a new game, or at least a rerelease of GX with online multiplayer).

I’m just happy Nintendo stopped hating their sci fi franchises enough to let Metroid come back

So, forgive my ignorance, because I really don’t know what I’m talking about, but isn’t it possible to use oysters and/or snails to filter and clean your tank in lieu of a mechanical filter? Or does that have a lot of issues I’m unaware of along the way

You understand that the publisher is, in effect, the one who pays for the game to get made, right? The devs were specifically Omega Force, a Koei Tecmo team that has made a lot of games with nintendo properties lately

Wasn’t pokopia the highest reviewed pokemon game of all time? Like it’s a carbon copy of dragon quest builders 2 from what I’ve heard, but

Is this better or worse than the actual roblox CEO describing having a platform for children that’s crawling with peodphiles as an opportunity?
