It's Steam Next Fest rn, so I'm trying my hand at a bunch of demos. The ones that caught my attention so far were the demos for SAND and Sulfur. Sand was surprisingly fun despite the absolute god-awful performance. And Sulfur is just uniquely charming.

It took me a second to compute that Rare boss was talking about the boss of the game studio Rare and not a rare occurring boss in a game.

Baller move from the devs. I wish we lived in a world where the source code of older games were all released and freely available for non-commercial uses.

I like watching his reviews of new mmos and games, usually mine and his taste in gaming align, but I have known for a long time he is an asshole. But this one was a new public low for him (don't doubt he has said way worse shit in private though).

Honestly, very few of the indie games release with microsoft and Epic banking are truly good. The best indie games right now are the ones released and self-published through steam, you just have to find the ones you like. Steam Next Fest is a good start if you don't know where to look. The next one starts next monday, October 14th.

This reminds me of Bioware and Dragon Age, they changed everything for the second game and completely ignored why fans loved the first one.

This article made my day a bit better. Google complaining how "radical" the changes proposed are is a sure indicator that they would likely cause some damage to them.

The alternative to Ryujinx... Is Ryujinx itself. And soon something else. It has been forked, archived and mirrored. Someone will pick up the project, even if just out of spite against Nintendo.

As someone who carries a tablet around for note taking and making drafts, the idea behind a phone that turns into a tablet is hugely attractive to me, but this is not quite what I would want. I'd be super down for one that folds flat, and does away with the huge camera bump. Get me a nice stylus, a foldable keyboard and a simple folding support to hold the phone at an angle, and that's essentially a desktop that can fit into your pockets.

That's a mentality that was the norm back in 2010, and one of the reasons the og dark souls got called a "very hard game". It wasn't that hard of a game, it was just a game that let you die as many times as mistakes you made, and it's both objectively a better game for it, while also being hugely influential to the industry on this particular matter. To the point that it has been given the title and award of "ultimate game of all times". Deserved for reminding that games are supposed to be games, and failing is 100% supposed to be part of it.

My boss once asked me to take a look at her computer that was super slow and barely functional, and the thing that surprised me the most was that she had been running Chrome without any adblock since ever, and when I asked her about adblock, she answered: "adwhat?". Mind you that she's still a millennial, and only a few years older than me.

Let's not make them a business. Search Engines are fundamental core services for the modern globalized and connected world. It's just like your post-office service. Make it an internationally owned and funded non-profit organization with open-source and the goal of enabling the unrestricted sharing of knowledge over the internet.
