The employees should form a cooperative, they are the ones with the skills, the actual producers

capt_wolf, do games w Can a Steam profile be a real memorial for a lost life?

A long time member of our community passed suddenly a little more than a year ago. Her father appended her steam name with “Rest in peace.” He arranged for an online memorial for her online friends and encouraged everyone to DM good memories to her accounts. Her account’s sat there in my friends list, offline, ever since. It was a great way to honor her, I think she’d have loved it.

I just had the unsettling realization that, over time, our friends lists will literally become virtual graveyards.

glimse,

I’ve got a few of those. I’m planning to backup my friend’s Twitter page and all our interactions since his account is private and I don’t want to login ever again (after archiving)

Rogue, do games w Can a Steam profile be a real memorial for a lost life?

Personally I think nobody gives a fuck about your profile while you’re alive so why does it suddenly have significance when you’re dead.

Grief is a horrible process that we all go through. Cultural norms are to simply ignore it, suppress it and pretend we’ve moved on.

The digital age preserves a far greater record of our lives than ever before. I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing.

Fuck Ubisoft

Demdaru, do games w Looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard just received its final major update

I love how you all are so flabbergasted by how simply okay the game was that each and every time someone asks how it is, everyone fumbles for words and cannot express it in any other way than solid, stable mediocre experience. Like lol. So I guess it’s good game, just not a good Dragon Age xD

For all the criticism I have heard about this game, I haven’t seen anyone say it’s buggy or runs poorly. The problems people have with the game are way beyond the scope of bugfix patches, so it kinda makes sense to me that the game is as good as it will ever be.

I mean the game is… okay, anyways. Which in the context of a Dragon Age is disappointing as fuck even after the boredom simulator that was DAI. But it’s not like anything is particularly bad either, not even the dialogue. It’s… fine. Aggressively mediocre, even.

BioWare goes on to state that it is now happy the game is in a “stable place”

Corpo speak for being comfortable with losing.

sp3tr4l,

A flat line is technically a form of stability.

    I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but it’s not great either.

    inclementimmigrant,

    It’s a ‘meh’ game at best.

    It’s not that it’s bad.

    It just doesn’t feel like Dragon Age. It’s like Dragon Age if Disney made a DA game.

    Veilguard is a 3rd person action RPG, not a CRPG. It plays like God of War or something. It has lots of DA characters and lore, though.

    the major difference with GOW is that you can pause combat at will to strategize and time abilities/combos with your squad.

    ChristinWhite, do games w Celeste studio cancels "2D explor-action game" Earthblade nearly four years after its announcement

    That’s a shame, it looked so cool but I’m glad they’re making sustainable, if difficult, choices.

    I gave it 10 hours and had to just conclude that, nope, this wasn’t for me. Instead, go get the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition for 5 bucks with all the DLC’s. That game is a work of art and has one of the best expansions ever made.

    This comes shortly after news that EA lost several billion in market value and Veilguard underperformed, so not surprising at all.

    I was gonna make a joke about Nintendo, but I’m pretty sure they actually sued someone for publicly hosting 30 year old copies of the Nintendo Power magazine.

    This organization fared much better than the Software Preservation Network, which the US Copyright Office recently barred from lending out copies of retro games themselves. It’s a lot easier to access material about the games.

    Hopefully this is a free resource available for all and doesn’t just turn into the games journalism equivalent of JSTOR.

    I just asked it to show me every video game magazine in our collection in chronological order that says “Metroidvania.”

    That example is impressive. Sorta doubt I personally will use this much, but I am sure that content creators I already enjoy sure will!
