Or if you want scream like a toddler, then use an appropriate platform like X (apparently we don’t call it Twitter anymore).

Which games do not start as an example? And is it just Steam update or is anything else in play here? If others don’t have the problem, then its hardly Steams fault. We simply have no clue about your system…

I have 2 webpages like this. Calling them webpages is a bit of stretch to be honest. One is a joke and the other is extremely single idea only. I was just experimenting with some stuff, that’s all. But they are up and they don’t need CSS. :-)

• https://thingsiplay.eu.pythonanywhere.com/next_underlords_update : just generate a random date, because the game died and we was waiting ages for an update
• https://thingsiplay.eu.pythonanywhere.com/game-random-of-the-week : select a random game title for the selected system (old consoles only, mainly for emulation) and cache it, it will be permanent for this week, idea goes back to a forum I was using and we had a community to play random games and this is a hommage to that

Edit: BTW forgot to mention, you can output text only without HTML. In that case (like in the Random of the Week) you can use it in the terminal like output of a program.

Depends to what you compare. Many CSS (worse if it uses JavaScript) is ugly and I prefer the native look without CSS. But only if the content works well, which they often don’t… And that’s ugly design.

Just checked it, didn’t play since Sep, 2024… I will install it this weekend and check out what game mode that may be.

Fun fact: Game requires 33.33 GB space… Half-Life 3 confirmed?

It’s essentially a MOBA with first person hero shooter elements. The MOBA part didn’t speak to me, but I really really want to like this game.

Looks just like Horizon 5. :D But in Japan setting off course, which is very interesting to me. Its one of the few Microsoft IPs that do well in recent history.

Not all CEOs are equally good or bad. Some help the company to be better, others are better at ruining it. Replaceable does not mean that ANYONE can do the job. You completely ignored my point.

This would collapse the company instantly. They need to make sure a good followup is available. Because most are not and are even worse, either through greed or incompetence. And yes, it could be way worse than current leaders. Because if it was that easy to just fire them and replace them randomly with anyone and hope it does better, I am sure every company did that.

I stopped reading at the word “Alleged”.

The only FarCry game I ever played is FarCry 3: Blood Dragon DLC, that was launched as a separate game later on Xbox 360. Good memories. :-) If that counts as FarCry 3, then I agree, its the best game in the series. wink

Yeah I know, there are methods. But I want to “earn” it the right way, as I don’t like cheating for this kind of stuff. But thanks for the tip nonetheless. Edit: Especially as I’m in the ninth year now…

I only played RPG Maker games when RPG Maker 2000 (and 2003) were the only ones available. And just recently tried out some later releases with the Open Source implementation of RPG Maker 2000/2003 called EasyRPG using RetroArch. :D As someone who is oldschool, my favorite games I played are Vampire’s Dawn and Chocobo Panic (and Chocobo Panic in Space). The Chocobo games aren’t RPGs at all, and are stylized Pac Man like games. There are a few German games I played (but never finished) and don’t remember the names anymore, mostly horror themed adventures… :-(

There are some modern RPG Maker games that look pretty “professional”. Need to play one to see how things have evolved.

Well that is what lot of devs do, after scamming and getting the quick money and stop working on it. But they kept working for years, still ongoing 10 years after launch. Even with the hate they got and after they got exposed.

They continued to work on the game years after its bad reception. They could have stopped and ignored it. But they worked on it and gave lot of free updates that changed the game dramatically. Other companies would ask money in form of DLC in example. The launch was a disaster and they deserved the hate. But the “redemption” is a different issue and they earned the good will.

But its not from EA, isn’t it?

Oh BTW I am currently waiting to complete a “challenge” (its an achievement) for a special game, with a special achievement. All I have to do is, not to play the game. No seriously, “The Stanley Parable” has a famous achievement, that you get if you don’t launch the game for 5 years. The fun story is, I purchased the game just to get this achievement. Really. I purchased it and waited 5 years, then installed it and run it.

But wait, why don’t I get the achievement? After an investigation I came to realize that the game has to run at least once, so the timer starts counting. Well, since then I played the game and wait another 5 years. I almost reached the fifth year. So to complete everything (which I did not honestly) you would need to do not to play the game. Is it worth it? I say absolutely!

Mine is completing the Pokedex in the original Pokemon games. All you get is just Professor Oak giving you a wink and a small few second cut scene. And a congratulations text. Imagine spending all of your time then, getting all 151 and even 252 pokemon just for that? Yeah no thanks, I never completed the pokedex.

Well, to me this is worth it, because the journey is. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is a similar thing. Doing all of the work for just a checkmark is not really worth it, but the adventure and the fun I have doing all of this is worth it. I am not after the price, but after the experience. Therefore its worth it, if its fun to do.

I play Rivals a lot. Played Paladins for couple of hundred hours too and that wasn’t it (besides stopped working on Linux). The biggest problem of Rivals in my opinion is, its too much for casual and unbalanced, and their focus is to make it “engaging and fun”. Nothing will beat peak Overwatch 1 days, that’s for sure…
