An NDA is fine, a clause to restrict “disparaging remarks” is not. If you can’t say anything there’s no need for such a clause.

Lol Alpha tests are rarely for what they should be, which is testing core features of the game not yet finished. In reality, it’s used to excuse negative aspects they have no plans of fixing.

Fuck em. Talk shit if you feel inclined to. Making you sign a contract otherwise is the peak of insecurities.

I’m not done laughing yet, give me a minute.

And the game will be hard coded to only work with a Wii controller.

“Your mirror isn’t connected to the internet so fix that problem or find the power switch. Alternatively, fucking unplug it. Two basic concepts for all things electronic.”

The features are smart but many of the people trying to use them aren’t. So we get posts like these.

Adjacent to the Raegan center for racial tolerance.

UE4 released in 2014 and Star Citizen started releasing modules in 2013, so pretty close actually.

Wait, really? I would have bet real money on it being UE4. Whelp, my mistake.

It must be nice wiping your shit covered shoes on someone’s couch and telling them it’s not that deep.

… Homie, every single year I look forward to the games I had a ton of fun with and emotionally connected with get the recognition they deserve so the people who worked so hard on it get a little more than just a paycheck and a high five.

I’m sorry you’re so jaded and scarred by something that you can’t understand what it means to pour your heart into a project and have one of the biggest stages for that field of work hail it as one of the best pieces of work for the year. Steam awards are directly voted on by us and it’s made clear by the dogshit picks everyone made as a ‘joke’. The award shows themselves have to filter out joke votes for that exact reason or it’s just not fun to watch.

“And now here we are, on an island with a failing economy and scrambling to establish trade routes with the people we just told to fuck off.”

Think of it like this: You could annoy some shit companies for a few minutes or give a small dev a life achievement they will cherish for years.

Don’t undermine these things please. We used to not have awards, award shows, anything for games. Showing we don’t give a shit is a quick way for them to disappear.

The problem with joke votes is that it really corrupts the entire thing. RDR2 getting “most loving updates” or whatever it was called after it was shut down is a middle finger to the devs who actually keep up with their games.

New IP would have been fine if they didn’t drag Gamebryo’s corpse into it, as well as the worst part of Fallout 4’s perks, “+5% pistol damage at night” and adding requirements onto those like it made them special. Almost every RPG part of this game is bland and uninteresting and it’s so fucking unfortunate. Star Citizen might be taking a dozen years to complete but at least they’re using Unreal Engine and actually adding some fucking depth to their shit.

Strokin’ my hog?

No way but it won Steam’s most innovative gameplay award for 2023.

… because you can download malware instead of movies and TV shows? It’s an unsafe site now.

Definitely Torrentgalaxy. It looks suspicious af but I haven’t had any issues with it.

I thought we stopped using 1337x because they blatantly allowed malware on their site.
