I think Bethesda doesn’t crunch anymore.

Fantastic news for the devs!

Is this a map from the medieval era lol

It’s from America in 1965, so basically yeah.

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

So people are morons?

Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

Yeah, sorry, that’s what I meant. I don’t really know the difference between a town and a tiny village I just meant there are way too many names.

Could’ve done with a few less to make it a bit clearer to read.

Feel like this would be a little more legible with slightly less towns on it. Can barely see the old borders there are so many names everywhere.

Serif (which owns Affinity) was just bought out by Canva, so it’s only a moment of time before they are enshittified unfortunately.

Arma 3?

Haven’t played it personally, I’m not big on milsim games, but it’s got a decent following. Might not have the accessibility options though.

I’ve heard good things about Battlebits, for what it’s worth it seems decent.

Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?

That’s literally been their business model since the beginning, it just used to be that the content was Umezawa’s Jitte or Chrome Mox and now it’s Gandalf or Doctor Who.

The real pack sellers are power creeped cards, not the IP of that set.

Will it require a PSN account to play? Probably…

Game Pass and X Cloud is their strategy.

But it turns out that there’s not a whole lot of reason to get Game Pass if the games suck, and if you want to play a game long term, you’re better off buying it once on Steam instead of paying a subscription.

And X Cloud still sucks ass.

They have no decent exclusives, and their purchase of Bethesda didn’t pay off because Redfall and Starfield sucked ass.

They wasted billions on Activision Blizzard, which it seems like was entirely for the WoW and CoD IPs, and now they’re shutting other studios they scooped up with Bethesda which was purchased for the Fallout and Elder Scrolls IP.

They’re trying to score exclusive IPs for the next gen to get people stuck in their ecosystem.

They do. There are plenty of indie Devs.

The reason why everyone doesn’t do it is because it requires significant capital to be able to support a dev team through production for a number of years.

Not to mention they will still have to deal with publishers potentially fucking them over, as shown with the Helldivers 2 PSN fiasco.

Usually analog sticks, but it depends on the game. Something like shovel knight is better with the dpad.

I just happen to play more games that are better with analog sticks.

It’s primarily socialising and having fun with friends, so it makes sense it would improve mental health.

Well that’s not why she’s been hired. She’s been hired to squeeze every possible piece of money out of the property.

If you were a CEO who cared about the property and not about making the most money possible, you’d never be hired in the first place.

Well you have to consider it’s 7 years old. It was incredible in 2016.

Balatro, the Joker Poker has me deep in it’s clutches.
