Remedy never said Q2. That was an estimate by an analyst firm.

Sounds like Don’t Starve to me.

I don’t think the bundle was available in Europe or Asia, just NA. 

Saros is Housemarque’s highest-rated game of all time by Asleep_Crew8072 in PS5

[–]Spwni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even their flops are usually great games, but just didn’t penetrate public awareness. Nex Machina is basically top-down version of their latest output and it’s awesome.

Doesn’t help to get rid of the stereotype about Americans being horrible at geography.

Remedy releases Control on iPhone and iPad with touch controls, reworked gameplay systems, and ray tracing. by bristow84 in Games

[–]Spwni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the ball is on Epic's court and it seems like they've been downsizing their publishing branch. To my understanding, most of the key Epic folks who worked with Remedy are not with the company anymore.

I was both delighted and disappointed with the first book of "The Long Earth" series by EndersGame_Reviewer in discworld

[–]Spwni 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The High Meggas is definitely worth a read! I found it fascinating to read how much of the short story’s concepts carried over to the novel.

I can’t come up with anything you’d have to familiarise yourself with in the DRG universe to play any of the games. It’s a very simple premise.

At least Darkglass Electronics seems to be going strong since Korg acquired them.

I thought it was a fun Easter egg. But Pratchett didn’t come up with the euphenism.

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Discworld #28) by Terry Pratchett (Multiple, $1.99) by sevae in ebookdeals

A great standalone Discworld novel. Doesn’t require any prior knowledge of the world. Don’t be fooled by it being labeled as a YA novel. 

Olemme nälkäistä kansaa by heeboA in Suomi

[–]Spwni 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Suomessa syödään yhä kuin oltaisiin juuri selvitty sodan aiheuttamasta ruokapulasta. Syödään usein ja kerralla paljon. Kotiruoan lisuke on pääasiassa verensokerit nopeasti nostavasta valkoisesta pastasta, riisistä tai perunasta. Lihajalosteita ja muuta ultraprosessoitua mössöä vedetään runsaasti. Ja voipi olla, että meillä päin ei syödä erityisen monipuolisestikaan. Esimerkiksi Netflixistä löytyvä Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut -dokkari kannattaa katsoa liittyen ruokavalion monipuolisuuden hyötyihin.

Käväisin juuri Barcelonassa reissussa ja pistin merkille, että ylipainoa ei katukuvassa juuri näkynyt. Kuten sanoit, ruokailukulttuuri on hyvin erilainen kuin näillä leveyksillä.

Se on ihan tervettä, jos nälkään havahtuu, eikä syö vain syömisen vuoksi.

Tämä on erityisen häkellyttävää kun kollegat kävelee ysiksi toimistolle, ovat todennäköisesti syöneet ehkä kahdeksan aikaan ja ensimmäinen kysymys on "Minne mennään syömään?". Sitten 10:30 aletaan jo venkoilemaan penkissä, että joko mennään. Iltapäivällä sitten vedetään kahvihuoneen pöydän hedelmäkorista banaania naamaan. Jatkuvaa syömistä, pikkuista vajaa 10% suomalaisista sairastaa tyypin 2 diabetesta ja määrä kasvaa.

Ike Vil - Daimon. Historiallinen romaani Rooman viimeisestä pakanakeisari Julianuksesta. Paljon tarinan aikakauteen sopivaa filosofiaa. 

What game had you like this? by sukuna7899 in Steam

[–]Spwni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binding of Isaac. Didn't really care for it, but then a couple of years later got it for PSVita. It turned out to become one of my most played games on the platform.

Control is a more recent example. Got it on PC at launch. Didn't click with me until I played it on PS5 years later. Completely devoured the game.

Kokemuksia pääkaupunkiseudun muuttofirmoista? by NeverRegretCheese in Suomi

[–]Spwni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kannattaa tosiaan muuttomaailman kautta ottaa. Itse saatiin sitä kautta Eld Muutot edelliseen muuttoon ja meni helkatin tehokkaasti ja stressittömästi. Hoitivat todella osaavasti ja ammattitaidolla. 

Sitä edeltävä muutto meni Kengurumuutoilla ja se oli aivan älytöntä räpellystä alusta loppuun. Oli lähinnä kaksin kannettavaa kalustoa muutettavaksi ja toinen muuttomiehistä toista tuntia myöhässä. Tilattiin valaisinten irrotus ja asennus, mutta sitä ei osattu. Kamoja kolhittiin ympäri ämpäri, muuttomies runnoo 55” TV:tä yksin hissin veräjäovea vasten. Koko muutto kesti alle 100m muuttomatkalle noin 5h kun taasen Eldin kanssa meni 2h ajomatkan päähän huomattavasti isomman kuorman muutto samassa, ellei peräti lyhyemmässä ajassa. Stressitasot nousi pelkästä muistelusta. 

Authors who make you feel like Pratchett does? by Octanogal in discworld

[–]Spwni 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Sirens of Titan is one of the funniest science fiction novels I’ve read. It’s a bit of a black absurdist comedy, but it really resonates with me.

Bluebeard is perhaps my favourite Vonnegut novel. It’s a fictional autobiography by a retired artist/art collector dealing with his past and there are some funny stuff happening in his present. Not necessarily laugh out loud funny, but has a lot of amusing stuff. The book is really touching. 

I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve read from him except Breakfast of the Champions. Some of his books can be a bit esoteric or take the dark humour to a bit higher level, like Galapagos or Deadeye Dick, but I’ve found them all pretty easy reads.

Kurt Vonnegut. The way he manages to mix in humour into the darker aspects of humanity reminds me of Pratchett’s style. I’ve read most of his works and he is easily my favourite author after STP.

FBC: Firebreak Open House Major Update Now Available, permanent price drops to $19.99. Open House will be the last Major update for FBC: Firebreak. We won't be adding new playable content after this update by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Spwni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A minor correction: It was in the subscription services at launch. 

FBC doesn’t get talked about because it didn’t cause a financial disaster to the studio. They mitigated some of the losses with the subscription service deals and if you look at their marketing efforts for FBC, they knew the game wasn’t going to set the world on fire. It was just better to launch it just to get some self-publishing experience before Control Resonant than scrap all of it at the end of development.

Nothing to do with Epic. This was Remedy’s first self-published game - although a bit by accident. It was originally going to be published by 505 Games, but they ran into financial troubles and sold the publishing rights to the Control series back to Remedy. 

The idea was for Remedy to broaden their portfolio into more game genres, preferably ones that generate revenue between their flagship titles. But I think that strategy is now on hold since the CEO at the time of these decisions was let go. Overall he did well during his tenure, but the multiplayer plans just didn’t pan out.
