From Space was replaced with Prodeus, which is a huge upgrade for me. I have been wanting that for ages.

Stronghold DE is here:
edit: On Linux, I only managed to get it past the logos once, which is surprising for such a basic game, but it does look quite nice once it works.
The art definitely has that "as you remember it, not as it was" quality.

Good bundle for me. Hardspace: Shipbreakers, Legend of Tianding, Unpacking, SCP: Secret Files and Souldiers seem up my alley.
Prodeus is a great change and it actually makes it worth it for me now.

I've been feeling really down for the past month or so, physically but especially mentally, and just wanted to drop by and say it's always nice coming here and reading what's going on.
I'd love to get the Talos Principal 2 but I lack the motivation to do anything right now so I guess I'll wait a few months for a sale.
In other news, I've mentioned before that I was looking to upgrade my 7yo PC now and take advantage of BF/end of year sales but I came to the realization that it's impossible to justify it. There's no way a midrange card can cost ~1k€ and have less than 16GB of VRAM, it's simply not future proof, and paying 2k+ for a whole new PC is ridiculous. I'd rather wait 2 years for the rtx 50 series than buy anything now, plus it will be closer to the end of the current console generation so it's a much better investment to support the next console cycle and ports. There's more than enough old or less demanding games to sustain me till then.

Revenant Hill is cancelled, basically. This was the game from the co-creators of Night in the Woods. Sucks that it will never be made - I loved NITW.

So GTA VI announcement today probably. Trailer in December and PC version in 2026. XD
GTA V memory
When the PC version was cracked few weeks after release, almost all gamers in my college banded together to download the game over 150 kbps connection, all 53 parts (equal to 1 GB each). Then we shared it over our ftp server.

Let's see.
Console announcement for ~September 2024. Come March or so, it will be delayed to Q2 2025. Early 2025 it will be delayed again. Actual release date ~April 2026. PC version 1 year later.
zzzz

There could be multiple delays but I think that R* did some behind the scenes adjustments and that GTA VI will be out next holiday season.
Yeah something like that, the fastest a modern GTA game has come to PC was 6 months after it released on consoles lol

Im only halfway through Talos 2 but narratively, no you don't, the story of Talos 1 gets told at the very beginning.
That said, i'd still recommend it because it's a great game on it's own and Talos 2 builds on the first one in many thematic manners.
Talos 1 is about what it means to be human, and our relation to the world around us.
Talos 2 is about what it means to be part of Humanity, and our relation to the universe around us.
Here is some chatgpt-generated garbage... asking it to use the keywords "Elohim" and "Child":
I played Talos 1, I enjoyed it a lot and don't remember much of the plot. After many years, I only remember that most of the text FELT like the AI-generated drivel I just posted.
So yeah... having played (or remembering) Talos 1 isn't all that important.
But I bet people -really- into philosophy will disagree.
Edit: I'm actually really enjoying the plot in Talos 2. Having characters to talk to is way more engaging... My adhd-riddled brain can't handle all that reading. But once I'm done with Takos 2, I do plan on going back to Talos 1 because I'm now curious to know what I missed the first time around.

This looks like a “won’t somebody think of the children!?” lawsuit with the real aim to extract a settlement from the companies. If even one of them settles it could be a nice payday for the lawyer and the plaintiff.Microsoft and Epic Games Sued Over Video Game Addiction

Many games are fine, though, and no more “addictive” than a good book or TV show.
That said, the think there needs to be laws against gambling mechanic games. I’m not saying they need to be banned, but the games industry does weaponise the same tactics casinos and betting shops use to rope in addicts, to great financial detriment.
Gambling addiction is real, and people with those addictive tendencies are roped into games and treated like a cash machine by these companies.
Indeed, i agree.
I think this is the crux.
Games stuffed with real money gambling mechanics, mtx and fomo bullshit should get a insta PEGI 18 rating.
Dark patterns in these games are very egregious.
A lot of these games are rated as low as they can get away with.
Like NIKKE is PEGI 12 and EAFC 24 is PEGI 3 (though i think ultimate team is pegi 13)

Thinking about emulating some switch games on the deck, how much of an hassle is it? I havent emulated anything in more than two decades!
EmuDeck is a great way to set it up. Other than the files you need to provide (firmware, decryption keys, games), it’s pretty straightforward.
I can’t really link them because they’re copyrighted. There are instructions on what they are, which should help you find them.

Ahh the guy who stole money from all his fans and refused to refund them after being confronted and exposed... not surprised his up to new antics.

I’m not at all excited for GTA VI. I expect it to be as po-faced as GTA V, if not more. They may even try to go up their ass further than they did with RDR2.
I maintain R* hasn’t made a good game since GTA IV, nor have they made a brilliant one since San Andreas.

This. Epic would blow their budget for the next decade if they paid for a year’s exclusivity on GTA VI.
I'm not going to try and comment on "objective" quality, but they haven't made a game I was interested in playing for more than an hour since Oni
I have been adjusting my purchase behavior lately. If I buy a game, I need to play it immediately. The same applies to everything else: plastic models, books, movies... No more hoarding, no more collecting, no more new things left in the stash.
Just bought Robocop on the xbox. Excited to start playing it after installation.
