Not surprised. Haven’t we read about Roblox being a predator-filled hellhole for years now?

I will be hesitant until the modding gurus go over the exact implementation. I’ve been burned before about “A-life” in STALKER 2.

Modding support is huge though, as is mutant parts. This is the state it should have shipped in, but my guess from the start was that they really couldn’t afford another delay.

Would be a great service for the community to have it up and running again.

That’s very interesting! Now that you pointed it out I can clearly see the area around the serial number being bare metal while the rest of that element (don’t know what it’s called) still has black paint, and the transition is somewhat uneven.

From what I can tell the markings suggest it being manufactured in the US?

I remember that map, it was a great resource. Like you say, visualizing defederations would be especially helpful.

Signed it ages ago when it first came about, and it’s really sad to see it still hasn’t gotten enough signatures.

Is this it?

Underwood, don’t know the exact model. You might know:

Seems like a great instance choice!

I don’t use or collect typewriters, but I do own one and I do love them. Lovely little community this, I hope you get some traction!

FromSoft reported sales of Elden Ring increased by over 200% following its GOTY win, if I remember right. It definitely has an impact. I can’t imagine it’s irrelevant in terms of attracting or keeping talent either, and it probably would help maintaining creative integrity and sticking to your vision in talks with investors.

I have a very hard time seeing any of those competing with either Clair Obscur or Death Stranding 2, apart from maybe Silksong (if it actually ever does come out). But even then I’m not sold.

Mina the Hollower will probably duke it out with Blue Prince for the indie game of the year.

So it’s this versus Expedition 33 for GOTY then? I feel for Sandfall, that’s some unfortunate timing if they end up upstaged by Kojima.

It’s not quite as weird, but Alan Wake 2 as well qualifies I think.

Yeah it’s convenient to blame Pearl Abyss for everything wrong with EVE, but truthfully CCP were making moves of dubious quality way before they got bought up by them.

There are probably better owners than Pearl Abyss, so in a sense that could be a reason for hope. Though I don’t know how much of a hand they have had with all the crap CCP have failed with over the years. Peak EVE was so amazing, but I honestly have no real idea how or if it’s possible to get back to that.

I need more details of how this works, honestly. Are the donations going 100% towards game preservation efforts, as opposed to normal sales where GOG takes a cut to make a profit? If so then I can see it. But otherwise donating to a for-profit company seems odd.

There’s definitely weird people making games on itch and sometimes in the depths of Steam.

Oh yes. Ever heard of Beautycopter?

Sam Lake is still out there fighting the good fight. Kojima too - whether you think he’s a genius or think he produces incomprehensible nonsense you can’t deny he is at least flying the flag for the weird.

Okay I’m interested. Might give this game a shot, I’ve sort of been missing a detective game after finishing Blue Prince.
