  "A preliminary investigation indicates Kang knew the victim only online, having met him playing a fantasy video game called ArcheAge. According to the game’s website, it is shutting down its North America and European servers this week because of a declining number of users. "

  No wonder they don’t have players left, this dude beat them all to death

  Artisan TD, a classic tower defense game. I quit after the second map. It’s not that it’s bad, it just didn’t grab my attention, doesn’t seem to have anything unique going for it besides maybe the pretty visuals. There are dozens of games exactly like this one. As a fan of the genre, I might check it out after release if it’s on a large sale.

  Level Zero: Extraction, a PvP extraction shooter with the option of playing as the horror creature team that’s out to kill everyone. Basically unplayable, not sure what the server situation is but playing from europe I had consistent 0.5sec-1sec delay on all actions. No comment since I couldn’t really experience it.

  Let’s Minesweeper, a massively multiplayer game of Minesweeper. Not sure what I expected of this one, it’s exactly what it says it is, you load into a huge map of minesweeper and clear it out for score and xp which translates into bragging rights and cosmetics (?). Unique experience and could be fun if you are the type of person who enjoys zoning out at minesweeper for an hour.

  Mortal online 2

  I got my fix for this experience through PvP minecraft servers, but not sure if any are still around today that are worth playing

  I put the video into an AI summarization tool, the TLDR is that the Johto region in gold and silver is a replica of Japan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some excellent free games/total conversions that are worth playing the whole thing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Enderal, a total conversion mod for Skyrim. Free, just requires ownership of the skyrim base game or special edition (has a version for either).

  Has a whole new map, reworked classes, changes to combat, banger OST (here’s my favorite, hits incredibly hard when you’re listening to it in-game at a tavern) and the story is jsut incredible. I still think about it, and the choices I made, years later.

  There’s been a number of articles about it a while ago on videogame journalism websites

  kotaku.com/sweet-baby-inc-consulting-games-alan-w… theverge.com/…/gamergate-2024-sweet-baby-inc-dive… theweek.com/…/gamergate-2-extremism-video-games wired.com/…/sweet-baby-video-games-harassment-gam…

  AFAIK they do still put out articles about it but I suppose it’s not as much of a hot topic today

  Disclosure I identify with the movement, hence bias

  Thing started off February 29 when Chris Kindred, the narrative designer at Sweet Baby Inc, a videogame consulting company, called for a mass report campaign against the steam curator group (and its owner) “Sweet Baby Inc Detected”, which exist to highlight steam games in which the company has some involvement. Chris called it a harrassment group and claimed that it breaks steam’s terms of service.

  This got a lot of eyes on the group which balooned in membership, right wingers/ old gamergaters latched onto it and I think it’s fair to say that this Sweet baby Inc detected group is the main Gamergate 2 community. As time goes on the movement isn’t jsut campaigning against this one company, but against many similiar consultation groups (Black Girl Gamers/Gaymers for example) and the concept of ESG funding in general.

  Good part of the video talks about how games from Japan specifically are affected by these companies / ESG

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to ease up the return to GW2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was always super interested in legendary equipment, so when I came back to the game after years away I just picked one weapon from the list, put it into gw2efficiency, expanded it’s required materials list and looked through it until I saw something that requires me to do content which I felt comfortable doing, like map completion or open world events. From there I naturally re-familiarized myself with the game as I kept working towards the legendary.

  Love the game, have over a hundred hours in it, nice to see a shoutout but why so many hashtags? hard to read the post

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are y'all buying on the steam sale?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.

  you’ve been able to fucking play it for a decade

  tech demo out = game is playable, unbeatable logic

  If they said they released it years ago and called these all “updates” you’d have nothing to bitch about

  It’s not about what the developers say the state of the game is, it’s about what’s actually out and playable - and for Star Citizen, last time I checked it’s some barebones version with one planet, bajillion missing features, 200000000$ ships and a buggy mess

  You star citizen fans are insufferable. I get spammed with these videos, ads and articles hyping up the game for being the best thing ever, always claiming the next update to be some gamechanger but it’s still the same unfinished mess. Love how every time someone mentions the absolutely disgusting monetisation, it goes in one ear and out the other.

  Now get back to licking chris robert’s shoes, you’ve missed a spot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something about The Finals⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to rant about GPU prices, why randomly call out one/two specific games? Not like it doesn’t apply to any other modern release. I don’t get this post

  Also I looked up some benchmarks and you can get >60FPS on medium with an RX 6600 (about 200 USD curently in the US) in both finals & helldivers. Could possibly get away with a cheaper card on Low settings

  I’m on the other side of the fence here, amazed that people still bat for a company that can’t deliver a product after what, 10 years past the first estimate release date? Sure, it’s the customers who are entitled lol
