Chiming in with why I love SV: While the game itself is a new thing (well 9 years old at this point), it really feels like a product of an earlier time. And not just the graphics, music, gameplay, and plot. It lacks all the dark pattern mechanics and monetization that’s nearly inescapable in modern games. It just feels good to play, but always feels good to put down.

I just find the game endlessly charming. Every time I pick it up it reminds me of my childhood playing SNES.

The team is 22 people… so that’s definitely not AAA

For all its shit with killing fan projects, tournaments, and frivolous lawsuits, this is actually a legitimate case.

Just like any group of people, there are radicals that don’t represent their purported beliefs. Just look at all the “Christians” that preach and practice hate and violence.

I mean this is just Twitter’s old verification system, but now accounts have a lit of verifiers, so it’s not one centralized entity approving, and there’s accountability. I don’t see this as enshittified.

The other Scunthorpe problem

Well we can’t say they didn’t try.

Huh, this is 100% free. Looks like it’s a smaller version of Lunacid (which is $14)

No seriously though, there’s a lot of places it looks like a personal art project. But the aesthetic is awesome and the setting looks interesting.

I’m glad this conversation is happening because I hate Black Mirror for this. Everything that happens is the worst possible outcome. The ideas and situations are great, but actually watching it is a slog. Pessimism porn is the perfect designation.

Yup, we’ve played every Borderlands game, It Takes Two, Palworld, Rotwood, PlateUp, LEGO Harry Potter, Deep Rock Galactic, Outward, Stardew Valley, Cult of the Lamb, Sea of Thieves, Baldur’s Gate 3, Grounded, Don’t Starve Together… We also play other ‘competitive’ games co-op against bots, like in Beyond All Reason, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and Predecessor. I could go on but I could list games for a while. Definitely always looking for new ones though.
