Yeah I think that’s a more reasonable assumption. Presumably the new page template comes with the steam info pre-filled and has to be confirmed manually before someone then can correct the entry.
Still love that they even have this info nicely organized at all! - Comment on Anon is a fan of GabeN 1 week ago:
Don’t read this as a general defence of steam but I do want to correct a factual mistake: there is no forced DRM on steam.
Plenty of games are released on steam which do not rely on the steam client to be started and are in fact DRM-free. They can be backed up, and played on any machine without steam installed.
Some examples are Cyberpunk2077, the System Shock remake, Shadow tactics, and most of the devolver digital catalogue. The issue I personally have is that steam itself does not declare the difference anywhere in the store front, but at least it is always accurately catalogued on the lovely pcgamingwiki.

Holyy, thanks for this. I can finally put a name to it. Was wondering with my partner for ages what sometimes suddenly befalls us, especially if we’re lying in a weird position.

Oh is there still an active modding scene for the game?
It’s been years and years but the games were such a gem for half-way chill LAN party battles while having a snack, a chat and a bit of an interstellar romp.
Do you have some other mods you might recommend?

It was mind blowing to me on a technical level back then though. I just remembered the footprints in the snow, the slow-trudging animations in the deep snow, the free-running along trees, all that was really cool.
Sidenote: thanks for always posting some interesting games to learn and/or reminisce about. Haven’t been posting much in your threads but they are always a joy to read when they pop up!

I liked the game well enough when it came out, had a good friend at the time whom I always traded little game design insights and fun facts about the AssCreed games with.
But the one thing nowadays I always remember about this one is that the ‘opening’ part is looooo(…)oong - until you really swing you sword and hidden blade about it takes hours of grand opening, shipping to America, learning the controls, doing little ‘preview’ missions in a restricted zone, then
Spoiler
finally switching to the actual main character only to have to do a new tutorial intro all over for a couple of hours.
It felt somewhat compelling the first time round but on subsequent playthroughs it really stretched your patience - imo, of course.

When you say ‘one of the first Battlefield launches’ do you exclusively mean the new-strand of games?
Cause I can’t really remember that much controversy around Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, 2142, Battlefield 2 or even 3.
- Comment on New Yale Study Finds AI Has Had Essentially Zero Impact on Jobs 2 months ago:
In addition to the results pointed out by studies like those posted by @ekZepp@lemmy.world I feel it’s not a simple question of ‘which jobs can now be done by AI/LLMs’.
The ramifications of the wider ecosystem are more complex. For example, as this article illustrates, the actual search for a job is just horrible under this new paradigm. With the combination of copious machine generated job offers, machine generated job applications and machine driven applicant screenings, everything melts down into lowest common denominator stat-hiring process sludge, especially in combination with the more ‘platform’ driven hiring patterns of many sectors.

Heh this post blew my mind twice in one package: I was definitely one of those that believed it was a real ad. I distinctly remember some discussions about the serialized nature of it or not. So as you said, super well done.
But secondly, the official ad you posted instead has three nipples at once? And one male two female on top? That almost seems weirder to me.
