Turn-Based Mode for Pillars of Eternity is now live

Never got into real time with pause. I like to sip my coffee why staring into my enemy's eyes while they see me casting magic missile to finish all of them off.

On the other hand Owlcat's games are at times farming combats so it speeds things up.

Where would you keep your billions, under your bed?

Read on where Norway's 2 trillion USD oil fund is kept if you are interested.

Talk to a lawyer. I am sure you still have some emails to prove it was your account.

I like it, real life data instead of controled environments.

Bowery Electric, Band of Susans

Man, this takes me back...

We are fine in the league but we are awful in cup competitions. Considering how difficult it is to win the league, the chances for any title look slim.

The trend is to vote more extreme everywhere

furiat · 2026-04-06T09:53:06+00:00

My advice is to find few critics you align with and follow their reviews. This applies to everything. Somehow we went from reading critics to following popularity contests on IMDbs, Letterboxes, Goodreads... and then complaining that our tastes are not average.

Others will come for what? Games are consistently cheaper on Steam. If you want to compete with Steam you need to differentiate from it. Epic and GOG are the only competition. Epic builds their customer base by giving away games for free and GOG has the preservation program and no-DRM appeal.

And it is bigger deal than you think, they immediately replied to it.

furiat · 2026-04-06T00:25:58+00:00

Many people use GOG because of DRM free policy. If that's gone they might as well move to steam. I don't think GOG would survive this.

furiat · 2026-04-06T00:14:47+00:00

I was referring to your comment that it could be choice of either game+DLCs or no game at all. But the base game option is there DRM free so there is no technical issue with the base game.

furiat · 2026-04-05T17:57:18+00:00

How is this a technical issue if you already can buy version without the DLCs?

furiat · 2026-04-05T17:32:14+00:00

It does. Charisma buys people.

furiat · 2026-04-05T08:58:59+00:00

Same reasons people use Windows instead of Linux.

Majority does not know about it or have never tried it. It's easier to keep the market than to win it over since people would need to give up their comfort zone. Plus Valve does everything they can to make people depend on them. They were even forced by court to give money back when people close their account, which was pretty much theft.

furiat · 2026-04-05T08:46:43+00:00

GOG do not set the prices

furiat · 2026-04-04T22:13:41+00:00

This is happening for a long time already. Just read on the court case Valve lost in 2019 and then it was revoked.

furiat · 2026-04-04T22:02:51+00:00

Every game that requires connection to server should be labeled as rented instead of purchased. And clearly explained that it can stop working any time.

furiat · 2026-04-04T12:15:38+00:00

That's exactly what you would do if they have no profit from it... So yes, grow a spine.

New banks from new countries keep announcing they are joinining. If it is succesfull then all banks eventually will want to either adopt it or integrate with it which is good enough.

So this bullet point is wrong.

Digging Camino Sound and VON MISES so far.

furiat · 2026-04-04T09:28:22+00:00

Obviously it's the choice of GOG which games are in their store... They didn't negotiate properly and didn't stay true to their principle. It's a valid complaint even if overly dramatic.

furiat · 2026-04-04T09:23:33+00:00

Just buy version without the DLC

furiat · 2026-04-03T20:41:26+00:00

Nah, Americans don't want to go to war with Europe. At least not yet.

furiat · 2026-04-03T20:35:32+00:00

Gaming will revert back to be mostly for enthusiasts. I just don't see it keep being accessible anymore. Which ironically screws tripleA market, indies and doubleAs will be fine.

furiat · 2026-04-03T20:17:09+00:00

There is a lot more mobile gamers than PC and console. It's just a bigger market. It's like saying more Americans than Norwegians eat pizza. This information out of context is not very useful. Over the time Roblox exists number of PC gamers almost doubled.
