It was only recently I saw that Blue Prince did not make a PS4 release, which surprised me - quite a lot of games even in the past year have still put that out when there’s nothing in them that’s highly demanding. Usually, it just means it hovers around 25-30fps.

It did sound like the initial comments were taken from Discord, not an interview, which to me paints it in a different light.

I’m sure I’ve claimed to be the Queen of England on there once.

Something that provides a whole lot of modern context is realizing that America was France’s early “Proxy war”. They wanted to give Britain a hard time, and so they gave colonials weapons to do it. Both of us won out from that exchange.

The key part here is that France didn’t keep an iron stranglehold of us. It was enough to win us our freedom that we would want to be their buddies without being forced. Fun story for anyone who insists the US wants to control the Ukrainian government.

My current solution is checking Switch games out of the library.

What most people get irked about is loss of ownership, which can be a separate topic with careful management. For instance, if you buy an ItchIO game, there’s no DRM and you can copy it anywhere - I imagine many would be fine with digital downloads if everywhere used that system, but on the corporate side they’d likely be grumbling about piracy.

That’s why my better version of male trip power fantasy is the tough-as-nails delta operative Captain Martin Walker, of Spec Ops: The Line.

Did this happen because of Google API pricing changes?

While I’m very angry at the prejudice within the army, this does seem like an interesting aspect to it I hadn’t heard of before.

But yeah, as someone else said, it sounds like it was not just to combat roles.

What I absolutely love is the specific, mysterious revelation of "How is he doing this, this shouldn't be possible".

Spec Ops: The Line touches this a little bit - with some actions and messages leaning toward incredulity that 3 soldiers have been destroying an entire battalion.
The movie Willie's Wonderland also aims for this. The lite mystery is how the animatronics became possessed, but the big mystery is who/what the hell the Janitor that wandered into town is.
On a similar note, you get a bit of that feel in Half-Life 2 from Dr. Breen's angry message to the Nova Prospekt soldiers for them missing you at Black Mesa East; "This is not some agent provocateur or highly-trained assassin!! Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist!"

I highly doubt a social network would ever lack incentive for increased engagement (via shock value and toxicity or otherwise) in a non-capitalist society.

They may gain popularity, societal influence, or whatever else instead of money. They’re still motivated to deepen that connection.

I think this is the problem gooner games have run into.

Like the Neptunia games. They are not great games at all by any measure. But the only people that would publically post reviews of them are likely going to review them positively.

I get a lot of good information from bad reviews, just by having a bit of introspection.

“This game is too easy!!”
Oh, that’s okay, I was looking for something easier.

“Two body types!!”
Oh, wow, so the only people that hate it are bigots.

“If you die once to the first boss, then it kneecaps your stats and you get no healing items for half the game.”
Wait, what…? But everyone else loves the game. Is this true?
“lol it’s fine, only scrubs die to the first boss, if you do just restart the 3-hour intro.”
Are these reviewers paid!? No thanks.
