Probably won't get it on release, but I'll keep an eye on it and see how the rework goes. I got it when Green Mars came out and had enough fun to play through terraforming Mars a few times, so if they've made some genuine improvements I could see myself picking it up.

The music for Parkitect is always just so good. No regrets backing it on Kickstarter all those years ago!

If you've lived a for a few centuries, then DS9 might seem recent. Maybe DrMcCoy is a vampire…‽

...the recent DS9 introduced...

What do you mean by "recent DS9"??

I gave the demo a try. I had low expectations, seeing as games based on TV franchises are usually pretty bad. Surprisingly I was very entertained. Not the best game ever, but I'll probably buy it when it goes on sale eventually.

...Why Hamelin? It's a perfectly normal and non-horrific town.

...Is that just leveraging ScummVM? Or is that something Nightdive did themselves for a change?

Maybe it's a licensing issue? Seven of Nine was in the recent Picard show, so maybe there's something going on with the rights of using her character, or with Jeri Ryan's agency or what-have-you?

IIRC, the recent DS9 introduced a completely new character with Kira Nerys instead of Ro Laren from TNG was something similar, as was reintroducing Robert Duncan McNeill as Tom Paris in VOY instead of using his TNG character Cadet Nicholas Locarno. From what I remember, both new characters were originally meant to be the established characters later in life, but that would have meant paying the writers of the original episode, and that was deemed to be not worth it in the end. Or something along those lines. Yes, it's not 100% comparable, I know.

I'm waiting for DrMcCoy to comment on this and see what he thinks. ^^

Yeah, sorry, I'm a bit late :P. Life has been busy recently, and I haven't followed GoL that closely lately

As for Graf Zahl... Never had any contact with him, so I can't really comment.

(Only that Graf Zahl is the official German name for the Sesame Street character Count von Count. Do with that information what you will :P)

Except that I also really hate the recent push by people to cram "AI" into everything. Especially for code, it's pretty awful. At work, we're constantly prodded to try all the terrible Copilot stuff, because my company is paying for those licenses and the higher-ups are getting hard hallucinating about all the bonuses they could get with the productivity increases. Increases that are of course completely made-up, as what Copilot spits out is without fail bullshit.

You can even see it in the code he commited, to check for "dark mode" on Linux... which, first of all, merely checks if the theme has the word "dark" in it, which is laughable in its own right, and then doesn't even compile. If that account were satirical fiction, everyone would call it out for being too on the nose.

I've spent 45 hours with this one, mainly two player with a mate of mine. We've really enjoyed it, despite the odd difficulty spike when you hit the next boss.

It doesn't hold your hand much, but it can also be reasonably chill - events are well telegraphed and give you plenty of time to respond. Village management is simple and not at all micro-managing. Bosses are fun. Exploring is fun. Mining is fun. It's a cracking game.

About UE5 and Race Game : too much pop in.
The UE5 is « amazing » to look at until you drive at 200km/h and the engine had to generate a lot of pop up for shadow. Grass. Object in front of you. It’s why Kunos move from UE (in ACC) to their own engine (in AC EVO) so it’s surprising they let their friends going to UE5 for this spin off

I remember Kunos saying UE is not a good engine for simracing a couple of years ago…

On one hand I am annoyed, that developers once again ban Linux, on another hand I am having deja vu, because this game looks like another clone of a clone of a clone with fortnite/overwatch graphics?

Really, how much value has been lost? Another game-as-service battle royale competitive PvP. After playing a bunch of such games, are there players that really think "ah yeah this is something interesting and worth my time"?

Well people that really detested that change can just not support that game/company from now on.

Shame that it looks like TP campus and TP museum will never get denuvo removed

Surely the native Linux versions do not have it?

A simple matter of checking a box in Unreal Engine?

It can be, if any of the middleware they're using isn't tied to Windows. At least I don't see any warnings about unsupported built-in features in the docs any more.

It's out now. 28,99€.

Yooka-Replaylee was cheaper.

I thought this was about Kaiju Cleanup too when I saw the article link in my RSS feed. I'm not sure I actually want to play either one, but I'd be interested in watching someone else play.

I still wish that we'd have gotten a DS9 FPS game after the Voyager ones. The Jem'Hadar would've been a perfect enemy in a game like that and a good player option in vs multiplayer.

Despite doing martial arts I'd say rally is the most exciting sport. Really looking forward to this.

We banned Linux gamers, thus solving the cheating problem once and for all!

Calling out Linux always just feels like vendors convincing devs that their windows-only Anticheat is the best choice for them and are just closing sales/driving adoption.

Well, they CAN (in theory) ban games with kernel level anti-cheat from their platform. It would be a harsh measure, for sure, but you could argue it with that technology being as intrusive as it is, including for Windows users.

Since most developers can not afford not being on Steam (the ones that left, all came back IIRC), it would be the end of kernel level anti cheat, forcing the devs to make their game cheat resilient instead of slapping lazy bandaid solutions on their games that really don't solve the problem either.

Will they?

Probably not.

Oh wow, you really think that's on purpose? I thought it was just a bug. If valve is allowing publishers to break their store links ON PURPOSE, that's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worse than it just being a bug.

whoa ...

That meme is what I feel like every time I wake up in the morning. Mega coping as the world burns down around us.
