Exactly. We don't know. We have to trust a mysterious algorithm managed by a private company.

You're very close to the point that user reviews are not a good substitute for curation and critics.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Italian representation, finally

Can I carve an exception for Counterstrike and Dota/LoL?

Randomly saw this on my feed and... I actually want to read this

This game seems very cool and my very millennial hot take is that pen controls are much more interesting than touch controls.
We lost a lot when we collectively decided the iPhone was a better game machine than a DS (I mean, we did not, but you know what I mean)

Snap filters caused more damage than locusts

A lot of the love for "new voices", from what I can see, really just means: horror games with a low-fi, grungy aesthetic and/or viral "dig a hole" type of games.

Marathon *feels* like a single player/co-op roguelike to me, with its focus on missions and the NPC enemies being tough to fight. Also the fact that other squads will almost certainly be aggressive makes them into mini-bosses and (weirdly) ends up making the game less toxic. Also, weird insects.

Please read the text generated in the picture and imagine that several engineers, product owners, managers and other people with degrees looked at that and thought "that's good enough writing"

This is what happens when people don't read, understand or respect literature.

Curtains for Zoosha?

I *guess* it makes sense, cause improving bloodflow should help. But... christ...

Exercise with a headache results in a thermonuclear headache. Paracetamol and lots of water, maybe?

I don't dislike Geese, but that guy sings in a very silly way

Just saying

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

She is spitting truth. Elites won't touch Gen AI for anything that matters

I cannot be the only one who reads it as Resident Evil Quiem

Mmm. A little bit like the famous opening of the Lethal Weapons script, I guess.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Maybe all those CEOs saying that AI is an answer to bloated team sizes and ballooning budgets should take a look at No Man's Sky and try to replicate whatever they're doing. Cause I don't particularly like what it has become but that small team has no issue pumping out insane amounts of work.

The Italian in me agrees. My Swedish side will defend oatmeal to death.

Just saying: I haven't seen cyclists and pedestrians destroy shit.

Especially AAA leads and creative directors. It's surprising to still see so many wannabe movie directors (inferiority complex and disdain for "childish things" included) in creative direction positions in games.

A clear explanation of a very strong feature of Godot. Much more understandable than "any node can be a scene and a scene is just a node", which is how I describe it usually

The game that got linkedin marketing experts talking (about how you should not market a game) is now on sale! store.steampowered.com/app/3223370/...

“They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard... No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man.” ― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

As Pratchett said:

As someone who finds grimdark fantasy way more cringe than Kirby, despises mouse and keyboard as input system, hates overcrowded UIs, overlong games and horror, this kind of explains why the Steam ecosystem baffles me.
I wish developing for consoles was easier.
