They are still hiring, according to their website - so unlikely they’ve been shut down.

Just keep Grove Street Games as far away from this as possible.
No one wants to see them butcher another entry in this series with their lazy, AI-upscale slop.
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 1 day ago:
See - that’s the problem with me writing comments at midnight right before bed, I don’t communicate as clearly as I think! 😅
What I was wishing for, was a product that looked like an MD remote (similar to the RM-MC35ELK ideally), which could wirelessly connect to a smartphone, allowing for tactile media control, and the use of higher impedance wired headphones/in-ear monitors.
Because currently having to use wireless earbuds means I have to randomly squeeze the earpiece stems an arbitrary amount of times to change tracks, and good flipping luck trying to change the volume or switch albums otherwise without having to remove your phone from my pocket.
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 1 day ago:
I haven’t been able to find something quite like it available already - so I do wonder if there would be enough demand to kickstart a Bluetooth/wireless DAC/receiver remote to bring back that tactical functionality…
But anyway - thanks for the heads up! I’ll check it out in the morning and see if I can connect my N910 and NH1.
Come to think of it, I hope I can find the correct cables, and that they still work… wish me luck!
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 1 day ago:
I would legitimately switch back to one of my old MD players in an heartbeat if I had access to a decent software to load music on. Those little wired remotes with LCD screens were when technology peaked, IMO.
Any recommendations for an alternative to SonicStage (or whatever Sony’s proprietary crapola from back in the day was called)?

The act of ‘burning’ an optic disc was to write data onto a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray. It was called that because a laser would literally burn the information into the disc.
- Comment on Medal of honor on the PS1 2 days ago:
The moment you named the subtitle (Allied Assault), you hit the nail on the head!
WOW, I never realised that the series began on the PS1 - or that Allied Assault was the THIRD entry in the series! I guess I’ll have to add both PS1 entries to my hunt list.
- Comment on Medal of honor on the PS1 3 days ago:
Not sure if this had the same campaign as the PC release (ah, the good ol’ days where games on different platforms could be completely different); but both Medal of Honor and the very first Call of Duty were formative FPS experiences for me.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 days ago:
That is very true, but the Venn Diagram overlap between Gamers^TM^ and ‘Nintendo gamers’ is a rapidly shrinking area.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 5 days ago:
I know, which is why I specifically called out from GTA3 onwards. 😜
They’ve been console first for a lot longer than not; pretty much ever since they changed their name from DMA Design to Rockstar North.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 6 days ago:
Feel free to complain, no one is trying to stop you. Just understand though that you are screaming into the void, and nothing will come of it bar heightened cortisol.
Grand Theft Auto is the arguably the most profitable gaming franchise ever, and it got there doing this exact release cadence. Rockstar Games & Take-Two Interactive will continue to do so for as long as it continues to maximise profits.
Does it stuck for us gamers? Absolutely, but that’s just Capitalism. Given how quickly this hobby has been enshittified over the post decade, we should probably be counting our lucky stars that it looks like Rockstar is still investing heavily into the next entry, and not just pumping out shallow annual releases like Call of Duty!
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 week ago:
Maybe I’m just old, but I feel like all the people complaining about no PC port at launch, or how this trailer doesn’t show gameplay must be ‘new’ to the series (which to be fair, could mean as much as a decade).
This is how Rockstar have pretty much always done it, going all the way back to GTA3 on the PlayStation 2; PC ports have always been 6+ months after.
Trailer 1 tends to be about the setting, Trailer 2 about the primary characters, then Trailer 3/4 about the supporting characters. ‘Gameplay Trailers’ usually don’t come out around/after launch as that’s usually what’s being still being worked on by the devs.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 week ago:
Vampire Survivors
It might be because I was actually early aboard the hype train for this one; but this onejust scratched that “one more go” itch until 2am.
Enter the Gungeon
Randomly came across this via a YouTube short, and the art-style just meshed with me. Absolutely love the messy bullet-hell quick-play genre in general… Hades being another great example of this.

- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, absolutely!
My morning caffeine clearly hadn’t kicked in because I stupidly forgot to circle back round to that point. 🤦🏻♂️
Ultimately, my biggest worry is that Trump’s absolute piss-poor understanding and implementation of tariffs has very likely ‘poisoned the well’ to the point that they could probably never be successfully implemented in our lifetime by an actual competent Government - assuming the US ever gets another chance to elect one ever again.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Smart, specific targeted tariffs paired with grants/incentives to American companies to foster local production of critical goods (think CHIPS Act) can be a good thing, if they are done in such a way that it doesn’t send an entire industry/market into financial shock.
Like, if you want to onboard silicon wafer manufacturing (as a prime example); you would announce a small tariff to start off with, and a clear road-map of it increasing over time - allowing time for companies to build the necessary infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities onshore.
Once the industry has settled and matured, those tariffs could begin to be slowly pared back to ensure that free-market competition continues to keep prices in check.
But this would only work in an actual free-market economy, and not in the oligopoly-in-a-trenchcoat that currently exists in the states.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #59 - Far Cry 5 2 weeks ago:
I imagine that FC6 should play at least as well as FC5; and I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
I was primarily referring to the fact that it has the lowest review % on Steam of the modern Far Cry games (FC6 at 70%, 3-5 all at 80%+).
I’m sure I’ll give it a try once the kid’s a little older, I have more time on my hands, and it goes on sale to the point that I can pick it up without second-guessing the decision (probably sub-$20USD?)
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #59 - Far Cry 5 2 weeks ago:
Far Cry 5 did a lot right, and significantly improved on the formula that was in place from Far Cry 3 (which was also an incredible game, at the time).
I tried Far Cry 4, but found myself not liking the map design (not sure if it was the verticality, or the colour palette); but I might revisit it again one day. Have never tried 6, but the general consensus seems pretty ‚meh’.
It feels like the odd-numbered Far Cry games tend to be better received, so hopefully Ubisoft can continue that tradition with the inevitable Far Cry 7!

Leaning more into the management style of games, might be worth checking out Two Points Hospital (spiritual sequel to Theme Hospital), and the more recently released Rwo Points Museum?
- Comment on The Betrayal of Limited Run Games: What They Don't Want You to See 3 weeks ago:
For the price they were asking, I honestly would’ve expected physical (e.g. floppy disk shaped flash drives) copies of Doom 1&2, equipped with controls onboard to play the games directly off of them.

I’m hoping (praying) that since this is a shitposting sub, you and I both are just particularly gullible and this is not an actual thing.

Makes me all the more glad I wasn’t tempted by the $666 USD Doom 1&2 CE they were spruiking over Easter.
- Comment on PSA: I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again 3 weeks ago:
I still want a physical copy in my library as a precaution against the apocalypse, regardless.

That looks PERFECT! 🤩 Thanks for bringing to my attention, wishlisting it on Steam now!
- Comment on Hard Vacuum - a retro styled indie RTS has a stable release version 3 weeks ago:
♥️!!
I’ve been hoping for a voxel-based RTS revival game for ages! This is a bit more old-school (still longing for that Red Alert 2 era), but still looks very interesting - will hopefully give it a play over this Easter long weekend and report back.

That’s the neat part - they totally can, and will!
- Comment on I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists? 4 weeks ago:
Going old-school for this one, but I remembered absolutely loving the ROG Story Mode in Point Blank on the PSX.
I would sell a kidney (not necessarily mine), if it helped produce a PC/Steam remake with mouse compatibility (seeing as Light Gun games have basically gone the way of the dodo).
