CALIGVLA

A parachute.

This is the one game I think might have a chance against The Sims if done right, here’s hoping (that it isn’t a cash grab).

You don’t even need to go that deep, just have a quick look at literally any Chinese game on Steam and you’ll notice the vast majority of players are also Chinese. Many times I was like “Oh, why does this game I’ve never heard about has over 10,000 positive reviews on Steam? Oh, game’s Chinese and so are basically all the reviews”, seems to be a trend with these games.

Oh they’re aware, they just don’t care 99% of the time.

That’s fair, but what I really like about Dwarf Fortress is the complexity, especially the industry chains you can create, some forts can become almost factory like, not to mention the world simulation is unmatched.

I have many of these colony sims sitting on my Steam wishlist, some from many years ago, but ever since Dwarf Fortress got that graphical rework and launched on Steam they mostly lost their purpose for me. They always felt like “Dwarf Fortress at home” with the advantage being that they had better graphics and were easier to get into than DF, now that’s not case anymore, at least for me, and I really struggle with reasons to ever play some of these instead of DF.

Must suck being one of these devs that wanted to make their own more accessible version of Dwarf Fortress, then a few years later Tarn and Zach announce the update, and now you not only have to contend for attention with RimWorld but also Dwarf Fortress on Steam.

I don’t. I just think this kind of puritanism is stupid and helps no one.

Meh.

Not a hill I’ll die on, especially because I don’t even like the game, but I think it’s kind of lame to remove this stuff just because of “modern sensibilities” when the rest of the game is a gorefest anyways.

Based.

You jest but:

Holy shit, this looks really good. I never finished CrossCode, but from what I played it was also really good, and this looks even better!

Well that’s the problem though isn’t it? If to use the website you need a literal tutorial, then something is fucked. I realize the irony of saying this on Lemmy, but the platform just isn’t very user friendly at all. Hell, you could say the same about the whole Fediverse, it’s an interesting idea and technology, but for the average person it’s too much of a hassle compared to normal social media.

As it should. Fuck Randy.

Jesus fucking Christ I’m old and I hate this.

Really, rebranding from Chromecast to Google TV Streamer? Who the fuck was the genius that greenlighted this?

Woah, wait, Steam?! Since when? Last I checked they said there were no plans for PC. How did I miss this?!

Thunder is by far the best FOSS app for lemmy, it’s like a lite Sync without all the ads bullshit.

Calm down there, Sweeney.

Max Payne, first time playing since I bought the game nearly 15 years ago believe it or not. I plan on playing Max Payne 2 (which I’ve never completed) next.
