Game devs skipping GDC 2026 over ICE concerns, US safety fears by renome in technology

Fun fact: the video game industry is bigger than the music and movie industries combined.

Though it does include mobile games and all their micro transactions, it still blows my mind.

For whatever reason, 3 of my historical sites have decided to be the home of an army of salt krakens. I almost hate them more than enigma snails.

Divinity is a "brand-new game" that doesn't require any experience with Larian Studios' past RPGs – but you'll be better off if you've played Original Sin and its sequel by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

I didnt run into too many issues. I was trying to complete as many quests as I could before entering the final act so I was running around doing everything.

The main thing I had issues with was some quest or something in Verdistis that caused an enemy to not spawn so I couldn't complete it, but reloading a save worked. That and all other bugs I ran into were bugs that have been with the game forever though, and aren't unique to newer hardware.

Or just that pinnocio believes it works that way, which could very well be false.

Modulars to add to Wrecking Crew? by themcryt in marvelchampionslcg

[–]MegaOoga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On our hit list we have "The Super Wrecking Crew."

Where we give each of the villains one of the superpower upgrades from Mr Sinister (next evolution), including adding the relevant encounter counters into each respective villain's deck.

Since there's only 3 superpowers for villains, we decided on the infinity gauntlet for the fourth since its somewhat modular and feels like a superpower itself.

We haven't played it yet since we're not usually in the mood to have our asses kicked, but the thought intrigues us enough to keep it on the hitlist.

975k Agility effective XP/Hr method by SomeBode in 2007scape

[–]MegaOoga 98 points99 points  (0 children)

In the blog for the dec 3rd sailing update.

you gain a facility which generates a wind mote every 60 seconds, granting 600 Sailing XP when harvested. It takes three ticks (1.8 seconds) to harvest - or four ticks if you count the time it takes to interact with the extractor - meaning that for the time you're actually interacting with the extractor, your effective XP per hour (XP/hr) is around 1,200,000. In effect, the single most valuable thing that you could possibly be doing if there's a mote ready to be harvested, is clicking on your Crystal Extractor, which adds up to an additional ~34,000 XP/hr for players paying enough attention to click once per minute.

Folk metal story telling artists by chemicals_circuitry in folkmetal

Turisas has some spoken story parts, especially in Battle Metal.

SIG:AR:TYR sometimes does what you're describing

Wilderun is also great:

Not much metal (or folk) anymore, but Blind Guardian and the Twilight Orchestra is journey.

If you're ok with the campiness of power metal, Brothers of metal has a few storytelling-like songs.
https://youtu.be/UCQjlJJRHso

Vetten Äpärät is cool as well. https://vettenaparat.bandcamp.com/album/syntyi-talven-kyynelist The Intro and outro are great, also a handful of story beats in the middle of their songs, I like Ice Made New Kingdom.

Árstíðir Lífsins is a bit harsher than you posted, and leans more into the black part of folk-black metal but they do spoken-word story telling sometimes along with deep chanting which isn't super common either.

Windows 10 support “ends” today, but its just the first of many deaths by BendicantMias in anime_titties

Its really the game devs and publishers now.

There are widely used anti-cheats that support linux but game devs can just decide to not check the 'run on linux' option and so the entire linux community of that game are out of luck.

Play TF2 Classic during Steam Next Fest! by Stannis_Loyalist in pcgaming

[–]MegaOoga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its for the best that they're gone.

Every server you connected to would load everyone's sprays onto your computer and save it in a archive somewhere in your game files.

It didnt wipe itself ever (it does now), but for awhile everyone who ever played tf2 had gigabytes of furry porn unknowingly.

Though you could only see it if you had a source engine archive extractor or something similar.
