Not a bad thing tbh. I played roblox religiously in 2007 and a large chunk of the friends I met from there pursued a career in game development (its building tools are so accessible and powerful that even 10 year olds can make really fun games with it,)

Some of them went on to work at AAA studios or self-founded indie studios and 2 of them actually work at Roblox now. So crazy to think about and I’m really proud of them all. I hope it can continue to help kids get into game development because it sure as hell helped us.

I disorganized my Steam categories to go vanilla for the new update (and mostly because my sorting bored me). Now I can't be arsed to redo it. I'm smart like that, sometimes :cuteblob:

Has anyone tried the new "video game Letterboxd" options yet? I see GG looks pretty much like a perfect ripoff: https://ggapp.io/

Not sure if it's worth inputting my collection into this site yet.

edit: nevermind, it doesn't even include review yet, so I'm not sure what the point of that site is.

edit 2: oh reviews are being added soon. man I just want a pretty site to track my games on.

I'm still using Backloggery for collection tracking. (There is a link on my Steam profile.)

It's basic as heck, but I kinda like the no frills. I also like being able to theme and cuztomize my page. There are community features too but I turned most of mine off. They finally have a Patreon too, so the site remake is progressing more than it used to. Backloggery is creating a backlog tracking website for video games | Patreon

Sometimes it's a struggle to keep it updated though cuz I tend to binge buy, rather than one thing at a time. ... And like during a Steam sale, adding 30+ games manually can be a chore.

Awww but organizing is fun, like doing a jigsaw puzzle with medium or large sized pieces
Have some music in the background and organize by genre!
Does it have rpg elements? Into rpg categ. You go!
Is there combat in the game? Action!
Is there an equal amount combat and exploration? Adventure!

Our pal Nathan Grayson decided that this wasn't worth reporting on, which I found pretty weird since he was pretty critical of Valve's late (according to him) addition of the LGBT tag.

kotaku.com

Steam Finally Adds Official LGBTQ+ Tag For Games

The process of finding games on Steam has become increasingly driven by a tag system. Mouse over, say, Sekiro on Steam’s front page, and you’ll see descriptor tags like “Souls-like,” “Difficult,” and “Action.” Click on one of those tags, and you’ll be taken to a hub page for that game category...
kotaku.com kotaku.com

Kotaku reached out to Valve for more information about why it only chose to add the tag now, and not at some other previous point, but did not hear back as of this publishing.

"Furthermore, we also asked GabeN about rumours that this is merely a tactic to create free PR, as this measure doesn't cost anything and doesn't address the hardships faced by queer gamers. Is it appropriate to use the LBGTQ+ cause as a cheap PR measure, is Valve ready to pay restitutions for the damage done by Steams toxic community on the LBGTQ+ community, and is GabeN secretly a homophobe? As of now, we haven't gotten an answer by Valve on any of these wholly appropriate questions, but while being totally neutral and objective in all things, we still feel that the absence of an answer, is very much an answer itself.

In regards to that article I don't think we will see that logo.


By the way I am almost done with DQIV, I just have to
beat the true final boss
and then I will be finished with that game. I am not going to 100% the game because I would get bored.


I asked on r/DragonQuest about what I should do to make it easier and hopefully something doable gets mentioned this way I can move on and finish Code Vein before Death Stranding comes out next month. I'm about halfway done with Code Vein
 
X-Wing fan Unity remake XWVM (they call it a mod and it will feed off the original game data files to work) is progressing nicely.


Rogue Squadron 3D fan Unreal Engine 4 remake (it looked super faithful if you compared to the N64/PC game and so well done dammit) got a cease & desist.

Lucasfilms shuts down the Star Wars Rogue Squadron fan remake in Unreal Engine 4

I suggest tweeting that tweet @ Kotaku and/or Grayson. Might be futile but why not.









And got 20% OFF Autonauts coupon. That's how you coupon correctly, not hours after release.

So what does it mean? Dragon Age II was the main reason for for EA leaving steam and now they're updating it out of the blue because? Valve managed to get Microsoft and Betheseda back, they already have bungie, getting EA to come back home would be crazy.

Is it true that the steamdb page was updated for Dragon Age II? like recently?

Yeah, this package was created two days ago by someone.

It can mean that EA is coming back to Steam or it can mean nothing. If they had updated any other game of theirs then I'd be much more inclined to expect a return, but so far DA2 is an isolated case.

Probably nothing in the short term, at best they will probably release some oldies but this means actually nothing, just that someone at EA updated MANUALLY the depot.
 
I wonder if Gamepass murdered Origin Access and EA decided to get back to the old model? In any case, if Steam gets EA back, even in the form of oldies, it'll be good, especially if we'll be able to activate all of our Origin stuff on Steam.

I dont see EA puling a gog connect and allowing the titles to freely activate in otjer ecosystem. That would imply theyre giving up on Origin completely. I highly doubt that.
You'll double dip on PapaEA's oldies and you'll like it.

It's possible that other games were added under codenames and someone messed up with Dragon Age 2 and gave the real name and logo.
Click to expand...
I mean, it's not beyond the realm of possibilities. Since Dragon Age 2 already exists on Steam there's a chance that they added the package which they will be selling from now on instead of making a whole new entry for the new version, while the rest of the other games which never were added still don't have their names available for the public.

I'm going to say that if Saboteur get the same kind of activity, since it's already sold on GOG and exists within SteamDB, then I'd be much more inclined to believe that something is really happening.

It could also be a one and done. I mean, they released a DRM free complete version of DA Origins on GOG out of the blue. Like Blizz did with Diablo 1, etc.

EA is so fucking weird. Such a big catalog they could be harnessing...

In the end, it's probably nothing. Who wants to replay DA2 anyway... I have it hidden inn Origin to forget it ever existed already.

That is from the publisher of Iconoclasts, Minoria, CrossCode, Asura's, Wrath, etc. It could be interesting.

I was joking about the similarities, but yeah, DANGEN is an awesome indie publisher, with some great games already available, and more to come.
They are a bit like Playism: they translate Japanese games for worldwide release, and on the flip side they release a few Western games over there as well.

Among their games, they published one of my favourite recent shmups:



The company is led by Ben Judd, who was behind the translation of the first Phoenix Wright game (and is the English voice of the character), among other works for Capcom, and that you may remember from the Bloodstained and Mighty No. 9 kickstarter campaigns (he helped prepare the campaigns, videos, streams, ...).

Hey EA...put Jedi: Fallen Order on Steam you cowards.

Its a singleplayer zelda/souls like anyways. Its not some GaaS Battlefront style game.

And put it on EGS too since its an UE game. No one who cares about games like this gives a shit about Origin. The game should be on as many storefronts as possible ffs.
