In this economy?

Maybe the real slop was the code we wrote along the way

Well, yeah, as soon as you start trying to turn your hobby into an income stream, it becomes a job. That’s 100% on you. You’re allowed to just do something because you enjoy it.

Delicious DS2 glaze

Its always DNS

TIL there are mods for Dink Smallwood. Colour me intrigued!

I thought I remembered loot crates being rewarded randomly between matches. Did Valve start selling them and I missed it? Or what’s the real issue here?

Personally I’d say every single product and service being transparently wrapped in a personal information honeypot

Offline mode is nice, but for a game with core online features they really ought to release a dedicated server.

I don’t think Robert Frost said that.

This is a fantastic premise for a horror story

ok

Follow-up question: why do AI companies so often have buttholes for logos?

I guess despite how intimidating it seems, un-fucking vibe code can be approached just like every other complex programming problem: by breaking it down into smaller problems and solving them incrementally.

I sadly couldn’t play LotF14 because the camera does this weird nauseating wobbly animation when you move around. I have to assume this was the fault of someone at CI Games, because LotF23 and both of the Surge games don’t have this issue.

Anyway, I don’t really get why LotF23 gets so much hate. It’s a baseline competent soulsborne-like with good combat, a fair amount of build variety with some neat options, tons of QoL, and no major issues. It’s a solid 7.5/10 and its only real crime IMO is how painfully unoriginal it is in tone and setting. I actually enjoyed it slightly more than Lies of P (probably mainly because of the increased build variety, because I’m a sucker for that). It’s great and I’m looking forward to the sequel.

The CEO is still a turd, but he wouldn’t be a CEO otherwise. 🤷

For anybody saying “it’s not a problem, just moderate it yourself”

I’m of the opposite opinion. It’s a much bigger problem than just Steam community moderation and it needs to be addressed more broadly. (Monkey’s paw curls)

This. It’s not a problem, it’s a niche.

I generally like content that highlights small indie releases, I’m just a little put off by the way it’s presented here. It feels contradictory to the community description in the sidebar.
