  iirc, the steam survey data isn’t always well distributed, and so it isn’t the most reliable. Sometimes most of the surveyed are in China and the swings are more relevant to usage there, and then when the next survey comes out the shift is more based on demographic than broad trends. That being said, we will been seeing consistent growth on linux usage across the board for months so I don’t think this is a fluke

  I wish cooptimus was better maintained. The “Online multiplayer: x-y players, LAN multiplayer: z-n players, combo multiplayer? Yes/no” is so simple and easy to execute and yet nowhere else does it.

  Idk if this is the case on modern console physical releases, but having these numbers on the box, and correctly represented, used to be a hard requirement for getting your game onto a platform. N64 games had it on the front of box. PS2 games in a set of details on the back. It’s such a nice quality of life informational feature that falls between the cracks on steam because of how tags are done.

  I’m still not over the statement that consumers shouldn’t need to know whether AI assets are in a game or not, and Epic won’t be doing that even if Steam does. Couldn’t help but get in their own way every step

  Afaik, most ED is caused by being out of shape. The penis is basically a blood balloon, and your heart has to work hard to keep it inflated. If you aren’t doing any sort of cardio, you can fall below that threshold. Luckily, that means with some cardio, most of the time it can be reversed

  Still waiting for a new F-Zero (99 was appreciated, but not a new game, or at least a rerelease of GX with online multiplayer).

  I’m just happy Nintendo stopped hating their sci fi franchises enough to let Metroid come back

  So, forgive my ignorance, because I really don’t know what I’m talking about, but isn’t it possible to use oysters and/or snails to filter and clean your tank in lieu of a mechanical filter? Or does that have a lot of issues I’m unaware of along the way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nippon Ichi Software announces Nippon Ichi PC Games service⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine that’s doable easily enough, but in 2026 I imagine demand for physical copies of PC games is pretty low. Not that many people have disc drives anymore. DRM might get weird as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nippon Ichi Software announces Nippon Ichi PC Games service⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tl;dr: because physical version bonuses (art books, acrylic stands) haven’t been available to PC players, they’re adding a service where, by buying a game directly through their own online storefront on PC, you can also get those physical items

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavily modded SRB2 inspired by early versions of the game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a reminder, this game, SRB2, is a Doom mod. Also, a derivative mod, SRB2K (kart) is one of the best freeware classic mario kart-likes in existence. The devs have moved on to Dr Robotnik’s Ring Racers, but SRB2K is the goat in my heart.

  That last note. Ughhh… Don’t put fear in my heart. Every generation it’s “all you have to do to come out on top is not step on your own dick” and every generation these massive companies manage to find at least one way to fuck up spectacularly. Steam ISN’T just doing nothing, but even if they did, it would be a lot better than most of the major players most of the time

  Ooh this reminds me of getting almost every pokemon, one from each family, just had a little level grinding and breeding to do, all on AS, before my 3DS died and I lost all of it due to Nintendo’s bonkers save protections. I had the SD card for the longest time. Haven’t made a catch em all attempt since.

  It has been jarring getting to your dad’s gym and finding out

  Tap for spoiler

  He’s the furry type gym leader, though no one will say it to you out loud. And he has a lopunny, and a vaporeon, and his lucario has bone rush… Is this why he lives in a different town than you and mom? Oh no furry is weak to dragon type? Oh no…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 594 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been playing Pokemon Too Many Types, a rom hack of emerald that triples the number of types and gives each pokemon new typing, up to three types per pokemon. It’s a lot of fun to try and figure out the brainrot logic. For example, gamer type pokemon are weak to water and grass, because they don’t shower or touch grass, probably. Freshens everything up and pulls in quite a few pokemon from further in the series. Starters are poplio, a water/silly type, fennekin, a fire/fluffy type, and chikorita, a grass/bean type.

  It’s a beautiful mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get. Out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah. Very correct. They’re actively trying. I’m aware of some taco bells that have implemented AI ordering, but, as you said, people fucking hate it, and AI struggles with orders like “I’ll have 14,000 free waters” and then the system crashes for several minutes. People I know have consistently gotten meals comped because it’s failed in one way or another, so they’re abandoning it, for now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DigitalFoundry: Resident Evil 4 Remake's New PC DRM Impacts CPU Performance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ugh I was so happy when they first announced “denuvo is being removed from RE4,” because that’s a sane business decision that capcom has made in the past. Studies have shown that drm only makes a meaningful difference within… I’ve forgotten but I want to say it’s like the first year of release, after which time not only has the game probably been cracked anyway, but also the game has already likely seen the bulk of it’s sales. Adding NEW drm doesn’t make any goddamn sense this late into the lifespan for a single player game. It’s extra expense and also providing a second, alternative drm that might be easier to crack if the first wasn’t already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mewgenics | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does the first review, CGMagazine, claim this game is a real time strategy…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game companies see share prices plummet following the launch of Google's very limited virtual world generator, Project Genie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve already begun to rebound, but with GTA6 allegedly around the corner, this was a pretty good chance to pick up take 2 stock.

  That being said, as we can all see, genie 3 is less like a game maker and more like “real time video generation from a base image with limited interaction for 60 seconds” wherein a user can move a camera around and maybe there’s a character that camera is centered on. It’s not anything that’s going to compete with a real video game. There’s no interaction, at best objects can crash into each other, sometimes, while others they act… Strangely. There’s no inputs allowing for any sort of user action other that camera movement and camera focus movement. It will strongly resist deviating from the initial image generation. And the classic AI concept of “everything is uncanny and also changes every time you look at it with no consistency” is there, too. You wanna see a cat that has a different number of legs every time the camera circles around? A boar whose butt is sometimes a head? Go ahead and use this “world explorer”
