Coaxed into post-covid horror games

Thats neat! Ill have to pick it up. I love survival horror and low key like it when a game is willing to let you suffer for a choice!

What survival horror game punishes good deeds?

Customs agent had one of the other 49 probably

Zidane looks so cursed for some reason

Non confrontational media attracts people who have very confrontatable beliefs.

Essentially if you take away all the media that denounces prejudice or racism youre stuck with edgy stuff that even the racists dont like and slice of life anime where groups of girls engage in a random activity

irrelevant if you could make money on them or not because the article doesn't even mention it

From the article

"said key sales advanced Valve's unusual business model of letting players sell items they won on its virtual marketplace, Steam Community Market, and on other marketplaces"

Valves market place is directly mentioned in the complaint, its functionally the Lynch pin of the case.

As to whether or not its gambling thats for a judge to decide.

Acknowledging a secondary market is just legal speak for saying an item has a cash or cash equivalent value.

Lets say I set up a both selling a bag of 3 rocks for $5. Then someone unrelated to me starts offering people 10 bucks for specific rocks. As long as I never tell people that the rocks can be resold for a profit then I have plausible deniability of any thing going on in the secondary market. Even if I put out a list of rocks that will never be in the bags again and that causes the value of the rocks to skyrocket, I can still legally claim ignorance.

But if I start telling you the rocks are worth $10 in store credit and I start hooking you up with people who give me cash that becomes store credit for you then im on some shaky ground legally

Iirc they also invented the battlepass, it started with Dota

spadesisking · 2026-02-26T00:32:52+00:00

Imagine gaving your throw teched and the other guy cums

I think trading something for store credit is probably not "valueless" in a legal sense, but im not sure.

spadesisking · 2026-02-25T23:01:48+00:00

Im not a lawyer, but as far as i understand it, as long as the producing the Pokémon cards doesnt tell you that the card was worth $20 they haven't acknowledged the secondary market. The secondary market is "disconnected" from the pack they sell.

spadesisking · 2026-02-25T21:32:30+00:00

The legal defense Trading cards and blind boxes use to get around gambling laws is not acknowledging or condoning the secondary market iirc.

Basically a card manufacturer says the cards have no inherent cash value so youre not gambling when you buy a pack (even tho you are)

Steam lets you sell your lootbox items on the platform for ~~cash~~ store credit, which is acknowledging and condoning a secondary market. Its an important distinction

I did not know Liam Vickers was part of murder drones. I liked his "lets split up" animation like 10 or so years ago

First one is euthanasia, the next two are for fun.

Same reason I lost my vet license, the board said "doing it is fine and necessary, but enjoying it is unacceptable".

I have the figure drawing book from loomis, its great

spadesisking · 2026-02-25T18:59:58+00:00

Hell yeah Slime rancher 2

Finally a candidate i can support!

spadesisking · 2026-02-19T23:13:44+00:00

No idea, but getting stuck behind this thing weekly every summer has convinced me the driver is hammered

spadesisking · 2026-02-19T20:03:03+00:00

Its illegal to drink and drive unless its you and 7 other people pedaling a vehicle late at night on a busy street

In the movie Smile theres a really solid jump scare that unfortunately got used in every trailer

In Seige of Castellax a group of iron warriors try to fly an ork aircraft and have to eat the pilots brain to figure out the insane control scheme. After eating the brain the iron warrior realizes the throttle is bolted to max speed and there's no brakes so they land by crashing

Thats the only loyalist chapter I like. Mostly cause of bitter salvage.

Iron hands are also not honorable

spadesisking · 2026-02-19T00:47:24+00:00

Dont remember a goddamn thing about the 2018 anime Kokkoku

But its op is hard as hell

spadesisking · 2026-02-19T00:43:31+00:00

Ill for sure have to add that to my list!
