Fuck Rockstar. I changed my email accounts a few years ago but forgot to change Rockstar first. This wasn’t a problem. Now, after buying GTA V on Xbox and Steam and sinking a lot of time into it over two accounts, they added some mandatory launcher on Steam that forces you to login to their Social Club. Mandatory launcher...
This isn’t unique to Rockstar. If the email you created an account with is dead, you’re screwed no matter who it is. I had this problem with Dropbox once. Luckily the email in question still existed, I just didn’t know it. However since it was on a friend’s server he was able to hook me back up.
Im curious if its possible to enter a game competition or something as a casual player? I want to someday atleast try one but im not sure what game to get better at or what sites to use to enter some without making myself look like a fool? I also dont want to pay because thats sort of like gambling at the start....
tldr: Australian pressure group Collective Shout has claimed responsibility for the recent Itch.io and Steam developments that have seen the platforms change how they deal with - and in some cases remove - NSFW games and content from their respective platforms....
You’re right for the wrong reasons. It wouldn’t be survival horror because it would be the worst, most vile horror dating sim imaginable. Then Steam would delist it because payment processors caved into a small group of Australian moral crusading nutcases.

It feels to me like the closer we get to the Nintendo Switch 2’s June launch and the, apparently, $80 games associated with it, the more people are fighting with themselves over what is and isn’t worth it.

I’ve been enjoying Pocket Rogues lately. The full version. I’m not a huge fan of roguelights and I hate roguelikes, but since I currently can’t afford a replacement for my old busted laptop because I’m disabled and poor in America, it’s really not easy to get games that are worth a damn. I do have one of those controller adapters for my phone so that it’s actually playable. I tried to using it for Minecraft but Minecraft was never meant to be played on a console and shoehorning it onto one was a bad idea from day one.
Honestly, I maintain the ancient line of if you’re playing games on Apple you’re doing it wrong. Apple is not a gaming platform. That said, Fortnite sucks so meh.
It looks like the victim was killed with a lethal strike with an arrow to the knee, which was removed to hide evidence. Judging by the fact that the victim was killed rather than enlisted into the city guard, we can easily determine that they were not an adventurer. Clearly this was no ordinary killing - this was deliberate, cold-blooded murder.
It largely depends on what you want out of a game system. Currently, no not really. Nintendo is a closed environment with no alternative platforms for the games, and their games are very family friendly and widely popular. Steam Deck is just a portable option for PC games, and therefore has to share its customer base with PC gamers.
I know that there’s one dungeon that I usually skipped (the one where you fall where you could push a block into a button) so I could go get the red staff and then come back and magic a block onto the fucking thing.

Some of them already evolved into a tounerous new goblin of a subspecies (MOBAs) to fill a different niche, the rest stayed the same because they were already good as is. That’s literally how evolution works. You don’t improve RTS by drastically changing the formula, you improve then with graphics, lore, and interesting mechanics within the existing framework. If you evolve the formula then it’s not an RTS anymore.
