RPGs are generally good for this, if they have the depth to allow you to do so like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series.

Simulation games are just as good.

Graphic Novel games are just as fun.

You can just have chaos in them by doing the unexpected.

Not really that impressed with that lineup. Yogscast has some poor curation.

Shovel Knight was responsible for kicking off the second renaissance wave of indie games, as Cave Story was the first wave. It’s quite a bit saddening that they’ve put themselves in this corner.

You’re having a conversation in ChatGPT and all of a sudden you’re being bombarded with questions like how swell it’d be to buy something from Amazon or play this shitty-ass app game with MTX.

What a timeline…

Sega being Sega…they haven’t really learned much, haven’t they? Makes me kind of wish sometimes that they’re truly knocked out of the video game industry.

Why are they delisting Kiwami 1 and 2? They’re remakes of the Y1 and Y2. I didn’t know that one.

The attention has gravitated away from torrenting to streaming. Where, the anti-piracy outfits are more concerned sniping down streaming services. It was almost like they completely forgot torrenting was a thing. But, they have also taken down some big names too during the heydays of torrenting.

What a megalomaniac.

Yeah he’s inspired by a system which country banned it and yet he still wants it?

That happens to me when I decide to change jobs.

“Don’t need this shitty knowledge anymore”

It’s pretty sad that some of the best, least acclaimed anyways, storytelling was buried into those shows. While everyone else at the time were trying to find them in big-budgeted movie versions and some of the books that got released that ended up being wiped into the ‘Legends’ category by Disney.

It’s a vicious cycle between rabid fans, the creators of the IPs, the outsiders (i.e corporate entities) that have long infected all of them.

I’m tired of reboots, I’m tired of made-up characters that seemingly are shat out from some kid’s imagination but it’s from an actual adult (like difference in the creative department) who only exist just to one-up the already established character. I’m tired of power-level debates that just melts your brain to numbness when trying to even engage in because they all vary wildly. I’m tired of meaningless arguments as to what origin, what canon or whatever is the real timeline of some character because they always change depending on who the hell is writing them.

It’s all gotten entirely tiresome and convoluted.

That’s sounding like Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It technically is just yet another reboot, but a “soft reboot”. Reboot is a reboot nonetheless.

Tim’s strategy seems to be “Whatever Valve drops, we take because we feel Valve is missing out on something BIG! It’ll make US look great!”

And while the sad truth of the matter could very well be a maybe, depending on how the pure-epic userbase are over there towards it, it still pales to everything Steam has been built to be.

Oh are they finally running out of that oil money they’re known for?

If so, good, stop throwing your damn weight around and contaminate whatever you touch.

When I want to quit your game, I mean it.

I do not want to be prompted several times as attempts to keep me in the game when I just want to leave.

By the way, you may never know if spanking your kids ends up turning them either into boiling teapots ready to blow or someone who may later be into it a little too much to be a porn star. Never know.

That’s why monopolizing is bad for IPs.

Nothing is more apparent with the child and the toys analogy more than what Disney has been doing with Marvel.

I’ve approached Star Wars like, there are pieces of it I really do enjoy and love. Like lightsabers, they’re fucking awesome. Some of the gadgetry, the tech and stuff is fucking awesome.

Everything else like about the whole Force thing, Sith/Jedi philosophies and everything in between, that’s neither here or there for me.

That’s the same approach I’m having with lots of other big, overinflated pop-culture things. I’m here for the appetizers, but not the entire meal.

New account Neg Rep Senseless Post Argumentative/Downplaying responses.

Yep this guy has a bone to pick here. It all adds up.

Roblox’s problem is that it is lead by the wrong people.

I noticed a fair bit of anime adaptations borrow that mechanic, that being one of them.

Berserk: Band of the Hawk is another.
