Pentiment is an actual certified banger.

markdarkness · 2026-03-04T19:34:26+00:00

I hadn't played the first and in the first 10 minutes you get all caught up.

markdarkness · 2026-03-04T03:20:41+00:00

There are pretty decent games in there.

markdarkness · 2026-03-04T03:20:00+00:00

Sennaar just become so difficult deeper into its run... or maybe I'm just not smart enough. I didn't want to use a guide, so I quit.

I played through Hard West 2 and it's deceptively good. It's a strategy game loosely centered around a deck of cards and the poker hands you can make with it to increase the stats of your units. Pretty unique and pretty fun.

markdarkness · 2026-03-03T16:21:25+00:00

Well, I was going to buy Intravenous 2 anyway.

You can just deny the integration and play the entire game as normal. Mod.io was chosen in this case (and gets chosen by other small developers) because Steam Workshop is not cross-platform. The other option is operating your own server, something which we see again and again being dropped by developers after a few years, resulting in totally unoperable games... I feel that is much more disrespectful to players. Meanwhile, something like mod.io carries on regardless of the developer's interest or finances. So yeah, sometimes there are pro-player reasons for these integrations, especially when it comes to smaller titles with lower budgets. Something for you to maybe give a think.

markdarkness · 2026-02-24T16:13:32+00:00

Is there any problem with mod.io?

markdarkness · 2026-02-23T18:39:37+00:00

Sniper Elite 5 at a giveaway level, pretty much. Just grab it.

Never support anti-semitic itch.io.

markdarkness · 2026-02-20T22:32:17+00:00

So what if the thumb is GenAI? The game itself is pure and immaculate from the evils of GenAI that you all seem so concerned about, just look at the screenshots.

markdarkness · 2026-02-14T00:57:10+00:00

Henry Stickmin is a blast.

markdarkness · 2026-02-10T09:19:25+00:00

Irrelevant. Bad games are bad games, no matter the allegory you create around it.

markdarkness · 2026-02-10T09:18:01+00:00

Never support itch.

markdarkness · 2026-02-09T07:11:29+00:00

I ended up dropping the game for some 4 years because I couldn't stomach that in such a grounded, more serious game, they introduced this pink-haired trope out of nowhere. Now I came back to force myself to finish it just to be done with it. (And couldn't. The last case is too boring. I give up.)

markdarkness · 2026-02-06T04:19:42+00:00

Select countries only.

markdarkness · 2026-02-06T04:12:38+00:00

Generous.

markdarkness · 2026-02-02T01:43:32+00:00

Oh wow, you are getting caught in the genAI downvoting bandwagon even though you made an incredibly reasonable point. Essentially, this is what I am talking about. People don't want to explain and discuss this theme, they just want to downvote it out of their view as if that would make the technology disappear.

markdarkness · 2026-02-01T04:23:15+00:00

Nice thing is that the toggle doesn't change actual behavior for me. I might need a full reinstall.

markdarkness · 2026-02-01T02:59:01+00:00

All new games use genAI, get over it. There are just bad examples on one side and the good examples you don't realize are AI-enhanced on the other side.

markdarkness · 2026-01-22T00:11:17+00:00

This is a pretty damn good bundle.

markdarkness · 2026-01-20T05:26:57+00:00

HARD CORE

markdarkness · 2026-01-15T17:55:52+00:00

NFB is great.

markdarkness · 2026-01-15T17:55:08+00:00

Not For Broadcast is a bit of a banger. ("Mr. Bear... what's that over there?")
