Wow, seatbelts that work for everyone! What a novel concept
Actually thank you for sharing, it’s good to know these things are cared about

Þank you
- Comment on The Attempt To Escape From Pain Creates More Pain 2 weeks ago:
I just can’t see it that way.
Yes there are bad publishers out there, they’re probably the majority. Not all of them are
- Comment on The Attempt To Escape From Pain Creates More Pain 2 weeks ago:
This distinction only perpetuates the silly (and often misleading) idea of the “tortured artist” grinding their soul to dust to make something true to themself. It doesn’t have to be that way.
So may people’s understanding of indie games begin and end at Indie Game: The Movie
- Comment on The Attempt To Escape From Pain Creates More Pain 2 weeks ago:
It has never “shifted,” independent has always meant the freedom to create whatever you want without input from anyone else. Money to support the team has to come from somewhere, even Stardew was bankrolled by his partner for a decade while he worked on it full time.

Because they wanted to work on Star Wars, but this was such a flop Disney pulled the deal
- Comment on 'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated 4 weeks ago:
Agree! Without twitch and the lockdown the game would’ve quietly died
- Comment on 'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated 4 weeks ago:
The Among Us devs didn’t rely on any virality for success, the game had been abandoned before it blew up
- Comment on 'Friendslop' dominated 2025 by proving time and time again that graphics are overrated 4 weeks ago:
It’s unfortunately more widely used in the dev space too

Good description of the problems! I don’t play many big games nowadays but the tutorialization definitely feels heavy handed. I’m reminded of the newer Doom games that want to make sure players don’t get confused with pops for every single enemy. I think it’s a result of trying to scoop up a wider net of players to recoup those crazy dev costs.
Accessibility is a big win, replaying older games is sometimes very jank because of how games have evolved!

Elaborate! If you want to, that first Dying Light was a great game but I never played the sequels

That would be why I used the phrase in quotes, I don’t agree with it

Good news about Lairion: Larian announce plans to let folks ask anything about their generative AI use

Funnily enough, the Arc Raiders team “did it right” like this and still got shit. They paid artists and made special models to pre-generate some voice clips, none of it is used at runtime, and people were still upset.
The well is beyond poisoned at this point.

The lighting on hair is beautiful on ps5, I can see how it wouldn’t not scale if you don’t have the specs for it.
Your experience with the deck made me curious on the system… so I checked some of my CSGO skins and one that used to be $10 was selling for $145 on the marketplace. I sold it, and the next day Valve discontinued the lcd steam deck 😂 so rip that idea, the oled versions are too pricy for me

I’ll add to the other comment for anyone else that’s actually open to new things, because I traditionally don’t like turn based games:
The combat is excellent and the enemies are varied. Party members have fun synergies with both your team and the enemies, and the Pictos system adds a ton of flexibility for each character.
Plus there is a parrying mechanic that is challenging and rewarding!

lol

There are some, none of them are very big. The bigggest I can think of is Darth Vader from Fortnite, and players immediately got it to swear and say slurs.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses a GOTY award over use of gen AI 5 weeks ago:
The fact that Silksong did that is insane to me, there was so much hype
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses a GOTY award over use of gen AI 5 weeks ago:
Agreed, it’s still one of my favorite games this year. Any placeholder that isn’t an obvious placeholder has a chance to make it though
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses a GOTY award over use of gen AI 5 weeks ago:
e33 is a fantastic game and is well worth your time
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses a GOTY award over use of gen AI 1 month ago:
tldr: they said during the application process that no gen ai was used. Since they lied, the Indie Game Awards pulled their GOTY

The parry timing is hard for me too. Sometimes there are sound effects that indicate timing, turning the volume up sometimes helped me learn
But yeah the game is great, how does it play on deck? The game is incredible, you can get the album on bandcamp! It’s got 154 songs which is insane

Still Blue Prince! With my limited time found a few synergies and and stumbled into a few discoveries so far, but it’s still early.
And I got a notebook!
