Really disheartened to hear about Near. The internet really is young and unprepared for this shit.

I always stick to vidyagames and memes on internet, but I'll break out just this once.

I'm speaking from deep person experience, so I know this damn fucking works.

1. If you know someone who is a little too lonely, please do try to reach out to them. And esp. in person.
   Even if that person says they don't like being with other people, do push and make to effort to meet them once.
   
   
2. If you (or person affected) stay on the internet (forums, Social media, discord) a little too much and are also suffering from anxiety and paranoia, switching it off for only an hour will do you miracles.
   Not just that, but staying well-fed and hydrated will make you feel more alive. It will make you feel way less shitty and world less like an entity that is out to get you.
   
   
3. If possible, don't stay in one place. You or affected person should move out at least out of their room or apartment and into either a public place or of a known person.
   Because that one place carries a lot of personal baggage. It clears out in time.
   
   
4. Call helpline numbers.

You can't contain the trolls. Chop them and 2 more emerge. What you can do is be good to people you know. That's all that fucking matters.

He was cyberbullied into commiting suicide as a non-binary person on the spectrum.

Damn, That's dreadful.

As MegaApple said, be nice to each other, peeps. Assholes will be assholes but knowing you have good friends helps you to deal with it.

All good advice but you forget number 5:

5. Know when to back off.
Some people really are happier when alone. Either they have social anxiety or value their time alone more than the time "wasted" with other people. Forcefully changing their behaviour and circumstances could either deepen or start a spiral downward.
Look for signs of unhappiness and failing health, but just being alone or antisocial is not a sickness.

 

[Routa]

aye epic, so what's your opinion on smt 2?

It probably had my favorite story and world of any SMT game so far (1 and Nocturne being the other two mainline games I've played)

 

[thekeats1999]

I have always preferred the SMT games. From 3 onwards I think I was outside of the intended age group. And now I am well outside of that intended age group. I also hated school and the social groups of the time (I grew up during the very early years of gaming when it was considered childish by just about everybody at that point) so was never for me.

But the stuff SMT was doing always apealed more to me. I would love a collection of the games up until this point. Especially on PC where I know I can play the games again in 10 years time. Plus ideas of the apocalypse and armagedon have always appealed to me in fiction.

Great point.

I just wanna say that it's good to keep tabs on them. Just a sign to indicate you are there for them can be massively help.

Nothing will change because, AFAIK, the most common method of getting games from Argentina easily circumvents all the restrictions on Steam.

well some of the methods are impossible to close without screwing whole country.... and i very much doubt the ratio of scammers vs legit peeps from the country high enough to screw whole country or ruin conveniece for regular users

 

[Alextended]

Anyone have some recent general PC vs Console sales data/talk showing it's legit cos I'm having this total noob who is an ex-dev so a self proclaimed expert of all things on twitter call PC a niche platform even after he himself posted data showing that overall the biggest gaming market last year was mobile, then ALL the consoles put together held 30% and PC alone 24% and I also posted the Monster Hunter World sales as an example where PC beat any single console and also talked about how it gets every game ever even from Japanese devs even from first parties now because they like money and not as charity or something and how there are no longer outliers like subscription mmos and f2p and browser PC games that skewed stats aeons ago but just the same games on all?

I would have just said "fuck off" to them

 

[Firewithin]

is Ghostrunner a git gud game? i died like 30 times on just first level lol. maybe i just need to get used the the dash part or maybe remap to a more comfortable button than default

 

[Swenhir]

One thing I've only just noticed about NMS that I really like is that while in the ship, moving your head around in the cockpit actually shifts the viewpoint around your neck rather than just turn the camera on the spot. It gets you a really subtle but powerful feeling of immersion. Good one there.

I'm also kind of puzzled at how, well, tactile and real the places can feel despite the patterns being obvious. Maybe I'm just buying into the experience but so far it's been pretty refreshing. I guess procgen does work, if it's fleshed out enough.

 

[yuraya]

Looks pretty good. And that release date leading straight into Elden Ring

 

[NarohDethan]

It ran out of gas quite quickly to me.

I mean its not really difficulty when you get a feel for it. It took me 10 hours to 100% and made me sad because I wanted more

If you keep at it you'll get the hang of it. It's a fun trial and error game for me. Just use your movement, slowing down time, and deflect bullets abilities to good effect. Can't wait for the sequel.

Lol
Found a game for Lashman Someone who likes games

It's NSFW, someone on my friendslist has it as their favorite game lol

Tough choices.

Tough choices.

Thanks for the gift. You can go now.

Tomorrow is next week... Hopefully that Windows 11 beta comes out soon.

Choosing this probably leads to a bad end, but I need to see all of her dialogue options.

 

[gabbo]

btw what you all got from the sale?

For myself, nothing so far. I'm tempted to grab Woven for 3 bucks.
I bought Little Nightmares 2 for my wife. I would also be down for co-op action games or co-op/multiplayer rpgs that arent Divinity OS2 (a swe already have it)

 

[Nabs]

The Humble Choice auto-charge is approaching. Don't forget to pause if you don't want the bundle.

When does the list of new games drop?

When does the list of new games drop?

It should be July 6, right before the Steam sale ends.

 

[Amzin]

I'm waiting for the next Humble reveal to finalize my less short/cheap Steam sale buys although most of the ones I'd get aren't really bundle-likely anyway.

You could use Epic's sales estimates for Steam games.

[Deku]

If any, sorry for ignorance

I didn't know who Near was. Nowhere in the thread mentioned who Near was.
But I found that Near was developer for emulators suchs as bsnes and higan and even released the recently released localization of Bahamut Lagoon.
It's a great loss and it sucks that bullies always win, no matter what happens

How does one address a non-binary person? He or she? Here in Sweden we have a gender neutral word for this, but I don't think there is one for English?

 

[Le Pertti]

Deku I think you can just use "They".

 

[Kvik]

But I found that Near was developer for emulators suchs as bsnes and higan and even released the recently released localization of Bahamut Lagoon.

They were formerly known as byuu for the better part of the decade. By the way, if you'd like to pay respects, RetroArch has set up a memorial channel on their Discord server.

 

[Parsnip]

Got a generous gift from a friend in the form of wallet money, so I bought Below, Gorogoa and SteamWorld Dig 2.

That's me. And also unskippable credits roll.

At least you can erase those in the folder. Looking at you, bethesda games.

not always (looking at you Mad Max, LEGO DC Villains ... and tonnes of other games) ... sadly

Unskippable cut scenes?
You haven't seen their true power yet, the power of the instant death QTE in the middle of it!

and unskippable tutorials.
ESPECIALLY unskippable tutorials when you restart your game! looking at YOU Black & White!

yup, those too

So we can agree that we all hate unskippable:
Logos
Tutorials
Cutscenes
Credit rolls

We have here for games and not movies!

yes ... yes, we do

we also hate when games default to exclusive fullscreen on first launch but don't bother checking what the desktop resolution is set to - thus fucking up desktop window placement and sizes

I remember when I was gaming on my old PC (now my media/surfing PC) with my then 5-year-old Graphics card and the time it took to go to the graphics menu and set the quality WAY down because my PC was overheating heavily. Nervously bouncing with my knees/legs.

Or when you are in the unskippable tutorial/start of the game and you just want to get into the menu to adjust sound levels because music is too loud, voices are too low, or there are no subtitles.
Or you just want to see what is inside your inventory!
