HappyMeatbag, do gaming w BattleTech community closes ranks to support the creators of an LGBTQ fanzine

But users pushed back, noting among other things that the existence of queer people is not a political issue at all — their erasure, however, is.

Best line in the article.

RedFrank24, do games w Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all

I wonder how much of it is mismanagement on behalf of Microsoft itself, and how much of it is small-time devs suddenly getting more budget than they’ve ever seen before and deciding to get super ambitious with their next project and then having to scale it back when they can’t actually handle the project?

It’s what happened with EA and Anthem. Bioware suddenly got a shitload of money, couldn’t hack it, had to scale back the project, and it all fell apart.

Love 8BitDo controllers! Excellent controllers for a good price (if you don’t live in the US 🤪)

Good for them

I’ve been seeing them at Best Buy now too.

commander, do games w Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?

No. They aren’t available widespread enough off the Internet, not marketed enough, too heavy. Maybe a hypothetical future Switch 2 and Switch Lite

i don’t get it, it looks as generic as every other blog i’ve been to in a while. not that that’s a bad thing, i guess

It’s weird how little identity this has now, visually. The previous design was quite striking, now it looks easily confused for something else.

Maybe this works better with screen readers though since it’s just black text on white background in simple text blocks.

kate,

they’re owned by some company that owns a bunch of blogs, right? maybe this is testing a new look for all of them

Veraxus, do games w The RPG that inspired Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Demon’s Souls is now more playable than ever - Wizardry!

I was obsessed with Wizardry and Ultima growing up… but I can’t stomach the node-based, turn-based conceit any more. I had a hard time finishing Wizardry 8 back in… ok, maybe I don’t want to know how long ago that was.

But I was spoiled by the real-time evolutions of the concept… stuff like Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Ultima Underworld, Descent to Undermountain, and the like (also, shout-out to Arx Fatalis).

I would love more epic dungeon crawlers, with the soul of these classics but all the modern conveniences, graphics, and gameplay advances.

Same. Turn based combat seems so archaic when we have real time now and soon future moves too.

My friend pointed this out for the recent live action Avatar show. Their clothes were pretty much immaculate the entire time

Cwilliams,

They also had on way too much makeup. Like, how am I suppose to believe that they were flying on Appa that whole time?

Bademantel, do games w 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

They mentioned Divinity: Original Sin 2 which is no surprise. I couldn’t be bothered to finish Act 2. It’s unforgiving, takes a very long time and becomes a bit stale after a while. I know it wasn’t that way for most players. But I fear I’d have the same sentiment with Baldur’s Gate 3.
