- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 15 hours ago:
Maybe support for Linux is part of the new redesign. I mean they want to or already have hired someone to champion Linux Anti-cheat support, directly by Epic. Maybe there is hope.

Doesn’t mean you didn’t organize this with a developer, which is free marketing for him too. At this point, there is nothing that you could do or provide to convince me. I’m sorry if I’m wrong, but after the previous games marketing style as described, I do not trust you.

I feel like this was a coordinated marketing stunt. This developer is known to collect popular memes to release new post in imgur, and then after the posts get popular links to his game is added in for advertisement of the red button game.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 1 day ago:
I might have an existential crisis, but: I don’t think any game you enjoy is bad by definition. Or is this about Metacritic ratings being bad? How do you know a game is bad, if you enjoy it?

Just in case you are not aware, there is at least a backup of the files from RM2K net. But sadly lot of metadata and description from the webpage is not preserved: rmn.rmarchiv.de and archive.org/details/rpgmaker-net-game-archive

I also purchased the game a few weeks ago (May 19) on a very good deal on Steam:
Devil May Cry 5 + Vergil - 4,49€How can you not say yes to this?

I’m also on PC only. I just mentioned that above that even for games on disc its problematic and was just an example. At least they cover everything for console players.

Just an example: for First Light on PS5, a download is required to play the game, as only the first mission is on disc. And for those of specific PS5 consoles (listed in the link I will provide) one needs to activate the game to play in the first place. These information can be found here: www.doesitplay.org/game/…/PS5 Pro?region=PEGI&ver…
Without laws enforcing this, and just bringing awareness to consumers, will continue destroying games.

Steam at least lists stuff like Denuvo or requirement for third party account or launcher on the game page. I’m not sure if everything is covered on the Steam game pages, but that is a good first starting point. Useful resources for general PC games are also steam.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games and pcgamingwiki.com/…/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games… For consoles there is www.doesitplay.org , which lists if games are playable offline or do require additional downloads by checking stuff like additional log-ins and such. On that site there is also a filter for PC (Arch and several Windows versions), but there is only a handful of games there; the main focus is consoles (and handhelds).

- Comment on Gears Of War: E-Day Reportedly Has A Staggering $400 Million Budget 1 week ago:
Without the Playstation platform, this will be hard to reach goal. I guess as a prime XBOX game it will sell well on the console at least. And Steam… yeah that’s a goldmine. I think the budget ballooned like this, with the Playstation in mind. And Asha surely knows this and will judge accordingly.

- Comment on Microsoft has considered spinning off Xbox, the Information reports 1 week ago:
Microsoft does not need to build the hardware themselves, it could be something like the a cooperation with ASUS or the likes. Microsoft handles the operating system and the hardware stuff, and XBOX does the games only. Even if its for streaming only. And for the moment Microsoft seems to continue with hardware and next console / pc hybrid.
- Comment on Microsoft has considered spinning off Xbox, the Information reports 1 week ago:
I feel like operating XBOX independent from Microsoft could give them more control and focus on gaming, without permission from Microsoft CEO. On the flipside XBOX would be very fragile without the financial backing of Microsoft.
Could XBOX become third party publisher only and then Microsoft does the hardware and operating system?
- Comment on I just saw the Ocarina of Time Remake glimpse at Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 1 week ago:
They could clearly develop it as a cross platform title, like the previous Zelda games in example. The question is, if they want to. I think one factor is, that there is no Switch 2 emulator out there, plus Nintendo tries to sell Switch 2. We have absolutely no way of knowing it couldn’t run on Switch 1, just because its a new game.
- Comment on Why do unannounced games keep “leaking” through Korea’s rating site? It turns out there’s a legal issue that makes it almost impossible to avoid 1 week ago:
They could avoid it, if they released the games at a later time than the rest of the world. But I do not think that its worth it.

- Comment on I just saw the Ocarina of Time Remake glimpse at Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 1 week ago:
I will not buy a Switch 2, especially for these prices. I wonder what the reason for Switch 2 exclusivity is. Either it is just to have a reason for people to buy the system, or it is truly technical, in which case the ambitions might be even bigger than we think.
- Comment on I just saw the Ocarina of Time Remake glimpse at Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 1 week ago:
Understandable. I’m not that sensitive in the way you describe it. Still prefer playing the games as they were intended, with original resolution and even CRT filters (RetroArch fan here). There are lot of cool mods for the original Rom file, so there is that. I haven’t gotten into trying out Ship myself, there are too many games (plus emulated ones)! And to be honest, I also fear getting spoiled too. :D It could happen to any of us!

Yes, the video was edited and cut, initially I think there was 20 or 30 minutes wait time before the actual video started, as it was a live stream capture. I updated the link with new correct timestamp: youtu.be/PvUPDSDZg1k?t=3183

I guess for the middle ground, there is still the unofficial de-compilation project www.shipofharkinian.com . Just added it to the post.

- Comment on Nintendo Confirms EU‑Only Switch 2 Revision With User‑Replaceable Batteries 1 week ago:
I assume there are contracts to build the old design. Changing or breaking the contract will probably make it even more expensive for Nintendo. Also there are lot of in stock presumably. I wouldn’t rule out a future version of the Switch 2 in other regions, with replaceable batteries. Maybe for a future Switch 2 OLED and Mini.
I know, I give Nintendo too much of benefit of doubt… bad habbit of me. I don’t even like Nintendo (anymore).

Music was not fitting the trailer at all, it should have some iconic GodZilla theme. The original game is from 2002 and above average ratings, which for a GodZilla game is good: en.wikipedia.org/…/Godzilla:_Destroy_All_Monsters…

Most likely, if Sony or Epic does not an exclusive contract. Even on their website I could not find an information: www.paramountgames.com/games/the-last-ronin
- Comment on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin | Announcement Teaser 1 week ago:
What’s the problem with that? The developers are Platinum Games, so its surely a good game with their signature style of gameplay. Fits perfectly for this kind of Turtles game.

Which still does not say how much space you would have left after filling that space out. As said, I rather give you the advice if its not very clear from the post, instead leaving your drive rotting and losing your data. Again. We are giving you advice so you don’t lose your drive and data, not trying to hurt you. I find your replies annoying too, yet decide to clear things up.
