I must admit that I enjoy fighting with the people who call me mean names in the review comments.

I always reply “Can’t please everyone” and nothing else, and for some reason that triggers them way more 🤔 Had a guy write THREE different replies within a week to a review I left of Escape from Tarkov without me saying anything…it was so weird.

What a blast from the past, holy shit. I remember the goon recruitment posts on SomethingAwful.

A week late, but is it indeed hotseat multi.

Tabletop Simulator is always my go to for big group local co-op (I believe it supports up to 10 players.) Pico Park 2 might be more akin to what you’re looking for.

You can also check co-op.gg and filter by storefront, #of players, local, online, etc to see what results they give you! Just double check the game’s individual chart to make sure the local co-op limit.

I love a good AA fangame, thanks for the link! I watched the opening and got to the court, I’m ready to defend Starling with my life. I’ll sit down and play through it when I have a bit of time. You guys did pretty good emulating the vibes tbh.

As someone who has made hot dog water coffee because my family “encouraged experimentation”: don’t.

Again, I don’t disagree with you regarding Steam sometimes getting way too gassed up by gamers, and not having any incentive to change because of it. That’s because the bar is so fucking low for the industry as a whole.

But I wouldn’t call it “rent seeking”. They make deals with publishers to have games come to PC instead of being locked into console exclusives, they are making consumer friendly hardware, they are pushing the Linux gaming sphere, and they have actual customer service for their storefront. All of this should be standard in the gaming sphere, but because it isn’t, Valve and Gabe are seen as gods.

While Steam isn’t “doing nothing”, I do think 30% cut of sales for the first $10M is a lot especially for indie and single developers that will never reach this target, and the larger/more known the publisher the easier it will be for them to hit the lesser % of sales tiers (reduced to 20% after $50M, but I can’t remember the in-between tiers atm).

Itch.io, by comparison, takes 10% of sales as a default, but publishers can set it to whatever. Indie devs really should look more to using that as their store if they’re cash strapped, and people should really get their indies off of there if possible.

Yoooo deadass, you would love the Great Ace Attorney duology. You’re the exact kind of Western AA nerd Capcom was targeting with that one lol. Highly recommend that if you ever want to get back into the series.

Bro said “consensually”

Yeah, this would probably be something Ema Skye reblogged on her Tumblr (dedicated to Gavinners hate posts).

(Please, there has to be SOME Ace Attorney fans on Lemmy, right? 🥲)

I love my Thor! I’ve used it more than my Steam Deck over the past year because it’s more portable and I can play my Steam games on it. The DS really was my favourite form factor from all the gaming devices I own, anyone that’s the same should look into this.

The “discount” “+$100” 💀

I wonder if this related to the uptick of the focus on cultural/artistic “taste” I’ve been noticing in the tech sphere (including in this very Wired article).

For context: I had an interview with a tech company that’s a secondary player in the AI sphere, and they asked me about Pierre Bourdieu and my “Pinterest aesthetic preferences” of all things. Very wtf moment.

The article isn’t paywalled.

But also, a Lemmy user not knowing how to skip paywalls/clear their cookies to avoid paywalls seems incongruous in my mind, idk why.
