Lol, “excessive pandering to LGBT…”

Brave little CIS boi standing up to Big Gay, what a fucking hero.

Oh wow, I just checked and mine turned 21 today! 🎊

Jesus Christ my steam account is old enough to drink in the US.

Ok boomer

Wow, imagine where we’d be if Oil and Gas hadn’t convinced almost everyone that solar was never going to work well.

As someone with an avatar of the Q from Quake 1, I can avidly say that writing was not better in the past.

Just off the top of my head from the last decade:

-Baldurs gate 3 -Firewatch -Return of the Obra Dinn -Disco Elysium -Tyranny -Shadowrun Dragonfall -Red Dead Redemption 2 -Witcher 3 -Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice -Life is Strange -Prey (2017) -The Red Strings Club

Seriously, go check the story to Perfect Dark. Hilarious? Yes. A “good story”? No.

There are myriad issues in gaming now that weren’t there in the past, but good writing is (thankfully) still around.

Laid off workers don’t have the ability to choose these options though. You’re talking about management/marketing decisions.

I refuse to spoil anything, but I think I took a screenshot every 30 seconds on the last map. It helps you manage to traverse every single square foot of space in the map over the course of completing it.

I highly recommend Amid Evil. I wasn’t even a big Hexen/Heretic fan, but it’s fantastic. It has the record for highest screenshots->playtime of any game I’ve played on steam.

No one with even the bare minimum Sec+ cert would call it a rootkit

That’s what it’s page on wikipedia says.

nProtect GameGuard (sometimes called GG) is an anti-cheating rootkit developed by INCA Internet.

I still can’t look past the rootkit anticheat for a goddamn co-op game.

We politely refer to the leader of the Official Opposition as Evil Milhouse.

The terms have changed a bit over time, but generally “AAA” now means (in the industry) a large studio makes a game with a large marketing budget. If you think of those games that are published by EA, but made by one of their smaller studios and has a smaller marketing budget, that’s “AA”.

Much like “alpha” and “beta”, the meanings are changing so quickly it’s hard to keep up with what the industry means and what players mean.

I’m so old when I started in games “alpha” meant a feature complete game with a few crash bugs, and beta meant no (25% repro, or whatever the studio chose) crash bugs and all assets added and working.

Now it’s basically “alpha” means a demo, and “beta” means they’re buying time for GM release.
