  • Horror gaming community!

    Jump

  • I am more into the indie side with psychological/existential horror and horror RPGs, but I do like the early Silent Hill and Resident Evil releases.

  • Microlandia 0.12.0 is here, with bigger companies and bigger complains

    Jump

  • The release (if not early access) version will of course be on Steam.

  • Saturnalia creators Santa Ragione will "wind down operations" after Valve ban horror game Horses from Steam

    Jump

  • Based on the trailer seems like a game version of a gore/torture/faux-snuff horror movie.

    Jump

  • You're welcome to perceive what I am saying as a reflexive "America bad" outburst driven by current developments.

    And I will take the liberty of saying that it is possible that there is significant nuance to my arguement.

    Not to mention that I've lived for several years across multiple countries in North America, Europe and Asia and visited another 25 countries.

    Btw, I am not only flexing with the "I have travelled the world!!!" comments. :)

    I am also pointing out that it would be difficult for me to enjoy living/travelling in other countries if I reflexively said things like "This place sucks! What a shithole!".

  • Saturnalia creators Santa Ragione will "wind down operations" after Valve ban horror game Horses from Steam

    Jump

  • Without playing/seeing what Horses is like, it's difficult to evaluate Valve's decision.

    That being said there is tons of weird and fucked up NSFW stuff on Steam.

    Banning a transgressive game seemingly without any explicit content seems excessive.

    From my perspective, this is another reason it's a bad idea to have an American company (even a somewhat user-focused one like Valve) be a steward of modern digital services. Local culture puts too much emphasis on the theatrical elements of morality. Not to mention the challenges faced by the locals in areas such as corruption and rule of law (Valve trying to cheat on refunds, adding mandatory arbitration clauses, Soviet-style kangaroo courts essentially, and operating unlicensed gambling schemes).

  • After a lackluster launch and "Mixed" reviews on Steam, [Mirthwood], the Stardew Valley-esque medieval life sim RPG I wanted to adore in 2024 redeems itself with a massive free update

    Jump

  • I find this title clickbait strategy (often used in YouTube as well) extremely annoying.

  • Microlandia 0.12.0 is here, with bigger companies and bigger complains

    Jump

  • The dev has a sense of humour and some interesting gameplay ideas in a rather crowded (in terms of releases) genre.

  • Microlandia 0.12.0 is here, with bigger companies and bigger complains

    Jump

  • The in development version is only on itch. It's relatively mature from what I've heard.

  • The world's busiest toilet temporarily made detective sim Shadows of Doubt a murder-free zone: 'You can't always legislate for the fact that everyone's going to need a wee at midnight'

    Jump

  • If anything, LLM output tends to have an oppposite feel, too coherent in an unnatural and paradoxically disconnected way.

  • The median price of best-selling new games on Steam has dropped in the past 2 years, research finds: "Charging >$25 is getting trickier, as players compare value to the $10-$15 indie titles"

    Jump

  • Not to mention that not all gaming hours are equally fungible.

    There can be shorter narrative games where a given hour is worth more (to me), so the higher per hour cost is justified.

  • Two Point Museum lets you run wild in its biggest (and hairiest) DLC to date and you can sink your claws in for free this week

    Jump

  • I have 350+ hours in Two Point Hospital (gave up on the second to last DLC and never bought the last one).

    I am really surprised I haven't started Two Point Museum or Two Point University. I think the desire to get a 100% on Two Point Hospital is holding me back.

  • Looking for mods!

    Jump

  • The 20 best cozy games on PC that aren't farm sims

    Jump

  • The other ones are fine.

  • Erosion is a voxel open world shooter in which deaths cost decades, and you can win the Wild West with armies of cats

    Jump

  • I once thought that song was about mortality and the necessity of carpeing that diem, but it turns out Pink Floyd were stealthily pitching the core concept for Erosion, an open world roguelike shooter from Plot Twist in which the world advances one decade when you die.

    For some reason the phrase "carping that diem" had me chuckling.

  • Cities: Skylines upheaval: Developer and publisher announce “mutual” breakup

    Jump

  • Huge player of Cities in Motion 1/2. I still play both of them to this day.

    Cities in Motion 2's city building elements were basically a prototype for Cities Skylines. The look and feel are very similar (of course CiM2 didn't really have city-building management layer, just public transit).

  • Cities: Skylines upheaval: Developer and publisher announce “mutual” breakup

    Jump

  • I am so glad I gave up on Paradox.

    Hopefully, CO can make some cool economic strategy games without Paradox's involvement.

  • An Update on Cities: Skylines II - Development moved to Iceflake Studios

    Jump

  • Maybe this means we'll see a Cities in Motion 3 or does Paradox still retain the Cities in Motion brand?

    I was really excited for the original Cities in Motion back in 2011, crazy to think almost 15 years have passed.

  • 'We definitely cut some sex scenes': There could have been an even raunchier version of superhero comedy Dispatch

    Jump

  • This is not a movie.

    Not to mention moral interpretation of such matters is subjective (violence is ok, implied sex is not?)

  • 7 years and 35,000 wishlists later, [Generation Exile], one of Steam's most popular city-builder demos failed miserably enough at Early Access for its creator to question everything: "None of this mea

    Jump

  • "I spent 7 years making Generation Exile, a solarpunk city-builder," Anderson announces on Reddit. "Trailers in PC Gaming Show June '24 & '25. Top 70 most played demo during our Next Fest. Did all the things you're supposed to. Launched in Early Access last week with over 35,000 wishlists. So far, we've sold fewer than 300 copies."

    That is really rough, especially considering how much press the game got.
