I honestly stopped caring about the Austrian governments pandemic handling. It's clownshoes all the way down. I am in awe,though, how some local governments like Tyrol manage to make our federal one look competent. That's impressive.Here in Austria our idiot chancellor declared the pandemic over a few days ago (for, I dunno, the 3rd or 4th time now?) if you're vaccinated and restrictions are being lifted.
Today the health ministry just said they're thinking about restrictions for people returning from travels and the night scene again, cause infections are rising faster than expected again.
Clown shoes.
But I guess that's what you get when you have a narcissistic self-absorbed PR chancellor who only cares about announcing good news regardless of how much sense they make or how feasible they are instead of actually doing a good job.
At least everyone who can get vaccinated can do so and by the time I'll have to go back to the office in September I'll have both my shots as well.
(Our company lets us keep doing some home-office but wants the people in the office at least some days a week. Company goal is 3 days in the office, 2 days home-office per week, I've negotiated to have it the other way around)
Both my parents are fully vaccinated, and I'm getting my second shot in a week. I know it won't protect from an infection, but it cuts the risks of serious illness by a ton, and I think that's the best you can hope for anyway.
I doubt our government will react properly again until hospitals are full again, which might actually take far longer due to older people being mostly vaccinated. Could see the 4th wave being the biggest by far yet.

Phew web host move done and working! I had some problems, turns out it was SEO plugin that was messing up links.
Anyone tried this game? The concurrent player count is high and the reviews are positive
Now this looks like my type of simulation. Need to add this to the wishlist.
Gundam x Overwatch. On PC.

I guess I only need a Shin-Chan PC Steam announcement for the west and I will complete
Now for real, it has been a shitty week for me and some of this announcements brought some joy to me, would I love a Sony PC port announcement today? hell sure I would love it but so far, just with SRW 30 announcement I'm already satisfied, but yeah, industry, bring in more.

I was tempted to get Resi evil Village but reading all that stuff about the performance due to drm puts me off. I think ill wait till they remove all that crap. Sucks that paying customers get a worse experience than those that just pirate it.

RIP Smash Bros ... Nickelodeon is the new cool kid on the block
Smash Bros has always been an odd one, while I enjoy Nintendo IP's and have a lot of fond memories of their games on SNES & GBA/DS, Smash Bros has never ever appealed to me.
Whereas this Nickelodeon game is triggering a lot of nostalgia for me. I have fond memories of watching Rugrats with my mum (I will say I was in my 20's and she was in her 50's at the time). She loved the show (still does). There are a lot of shows there that were designed as family shows rather than kids shows.
I can see me grabbing this game (with the usual caveats, decent port, no ridiculous pricing, no exclusivity shenanigans).
It really does appear to be a good week for gaming actually having some surprises there for me.
When you try to read the tips in MHWorld loading screens, but the loading is too fast.
I believe SamRed (ars technica reporter who did a review of the DRM) has said that Capcom had ignored him all week, once DF reported on this they finally got a response. However it was off a more generic "We are looking into this". But I believe this is the first time they have actually responded to this.
Shameless plug for my friend's game!
It's been out for a year and something, and you might have heard of it already.
It's a very old school point and click adventure, intentionally unforgiving (no hints, pixel hunting, crazy item combinations, etc.).
There is some criticism about the story, which is totally legitimate (although, all the tropes and cliches are intentional as well), but most of the negative reviews are about the difficulty.
I generally am an impatient person, and don't particularly appreciate pixel hunting, and used a guide a few times.
But, the devs listened!
And released a "story mode" update, which is a simplified version of the game!
I was cool with the difficulty of the "old school version", as I recognized and appreciated the homage to old adventure games, but I'm also very much into accessibility in games, and I always like easy modes and options, whether I use them or not, because I strongly believe everyone should be able to enjoy a game however they prefer!

Don't know if this changes anything as you would be giving Capcom money, but there seems to be new developments. The crack is less than ideal, I want to say shit tier, as it nuked some animations from the game, but there seems to be a more legit and not game butchering fix going around.

Shame. Hopefully more games sites pick it up and question Capcom but i doubt it.
Yeah i read about that, cant be bothered though, and i dont feel like giving capcom my money for this. i have loads of games so ill just hit the backlog,

I hovered over the Wishlist button for a moment before quietly closing the page.
No need to remind myself of my failed art studies in early adulthood (talent? check. discipline? nope.)
Now if only it didn't have Denuvo (and any other nonsense they added on top as well) in the first place. It happened with DMC5, they know people are going to notice this, it's not helping with piracy.

yup, this ... all of this
i wish publishers would FINALLY stop pretending DRM helps with anything other than silencing bitching shareholders
Seeing Chicory's apparent success, at least judging from the word of mouth I ear/read from time to time, is one of the few things that currently give me hope for humankind.

"God, I need [insert game(s)] on PC!" (shake fist) 4k resolution, wide screen support, high framerate, modding, ease of archiving, infinite backward compatibility... Yes, I think we can all agree that PC is the best place to play games. But the sad thing is, not all games come to PC, and there...
