Being out of work for a while and then going back has a weird way of making you re-evaluate free-time. Now I'm lookin' at the next three-days off and wondering what the heck I wanna do lol. I mean lately I just come home, shower, eat dinner, tap-around on my phone or goof off on Siege 'til I sleep.

Guess I'll catch up in the Summer event for FGO and then try to make some progress in Valkyria 4 huh.

I redeemed steam key for Surviving Mars and Paradox emailed me ad for their launcher. didn't even have time to launch the game.

Does buying the Steam version of the game give you a Paradox copy as well? I never get emails like this when i buy paradox games.

Sinoalice delayed for an unconfirmed amount of time because Nexon discovered recently the translation wasn’t at the quality level they wanted.
...
When a gacha game is delayed due to its localization’s level. I shudder to think about what it must read like.

I told you we where losing the war on translations, loc teams must increasingly be payed in pack of candies and chocolate cigs.

Saw this coming a mile away. Nexon's record with gacha is trash, everyone in the know laughs at them and dreads when they snag up actually interesting games.

I fuckin' love Taro, but SINoAlice looks garbage to play and Nexon is just an extra nail in that coffin. :face-with-cold-sweat:

I just got this email from Solaris Japan.



The "undefeated champion" of upscalers is debatable imo, but it's a very good upscaler nonetheless if you have legacy consoles and need the ability to connect them to modern TV. This is probably the last time we'll ever find these units at normal prices before scalpers will have their day on Ebay.

Not sure if it's worth the effort and budget. I never pay attention to gacha games story and writing, and I never skip any conversation in my PC/console RPGs.

When a gacha game is being handled by Nexon or GUMI you should expect a disaster.

Reminder that XSEED will likely scrub any mention of Brittany Avery who was the project lead on the localization because “they dont credit people who don’t work there anymore”

Aint supporting that shit if they remove her name.
Urgh. Thanks for the reminder :negative-blob:
It it at times like this that I wish that Steam would let you attach notes to your wishlisted items.

What a fucking disgusting policy, other companies in the industry do this as well, how does this shit make any sense? Brittany was particularly passionate about this project, this is just enfuriating.

So what you're saying is you've only ever played garbage-tier gacha? I've only ever played 2, and they both have great stories (GFL and FGO). Why would you even start a gacha if you didn't care about characters or their story? :unsure:

If finally happened, rng let me have my dream team in Dota Underlords. 4xtrolls and 4xdruids.

The extra attack speed from trolls and extra levels from having many druids makes you unstoppable at the end game. Also had items where when a druid dies it heals others AND and item with even more attack speed to everyone close to trolls.:D

I won easily this time, but other times trying to build the team I've had my ass handed to me early and been kicked out.

I've played most popular mobile gacha out there. I simply never pay attention to the story. I dunno, there's something that put me away from gacha story presentation, or maybe I simply never bother with it. When I play a gacha game, I'd be probably outside or on mobile, so I don't really have the time to read them. Compared to the situation when I'm playing a console/PC game at home, it's totally different.

I couldn't even fathom playing a gacha without either caring for story or getting attached to the characters, the latter in particular are the whole point of a gacha game to me.
That said to each his own I suppose as long as you're having fun all is well.

Logging in on steam on a mobile game is pretty damn nice. What's stopping other games from doing the same? I guess there isn't much incentive since you have to buy the game on both platforms, or free to play.

I would consider buying a game twice if it meant I got the achivements and time tracking on steam.

But I hope we get a day where like today we have windows, Mac and Linux versions be the same on steam, that one day android is included.

Have you ever tried to play old PC games on modern hardware and OS? Personally, I love to play old PC junk that refuses to run on modern systems, so I decided to make a series of videos about my adventures in making some of those games simply run. So here it is, Re-Install!

I started playing Space Siege recently, and I was surprised how broken this game for PC exclusive, so it was the almost perfect candidate for the debut video in those series. Hope you'll enjoy this video, as always any feedback and game suggestions for the next videos are welcome!

Fucking hell, deciding to check gamefaqs' PC release list was not a good idea. I know most will advocate for no curation, and I don't disagree, but some things look downright evil. TIL Metro Explosion Simulator is a thing.

The name is kinda whack, but the game itself seems on the level of the many schlocky disaster movies that already exist:

That is of course not to say that there are not games worse than that.

Yeah, being generous one could argue that it's sort of a ZZT / Disaster Report experience.
But then again, the cheat codes included to make the train explode on demand still move the game into creepy territory for me.

Out in early access. Would love to hear impressions if anyone here's picking it up!
Yeah, it looks really good.

Does anyone know if the game will be available on other stores (Voidu, GMG, Humble, ...)?

With Posts like these it's really hard to be looking Forward to ist release, especially as someone who struggles to stick with a Gacha game to begin with.
The only thing i have left is my burning love for Yoko Taro, but how warm will these flames Keep me in the face of the cold breezes that are you, nexon and the Gacha genre itself.

That PUBG cinematic trailer is pretty LOL worthy... that game really doesn't need a narrative, like at all....
That said, the big update that got uploaded to the test server today and goes live next week with the new season pass and Erangel 2.0 seems really neat again... PUBG Corp is really doing its job well the last six months :heroblob:
