  It’s true that playing for money is a huge part of playing poker at all, both casually and professionally. Does that mean a game just teaching poker hands should be considered as adult as actual gambling? If so, a game like The Binding of Isaac should get the same 18+ as Balatro since it has actual slot machines that you put money into, but instead it gets a 16+.

  Agreed that it’s ridiculous, but there are plenty of other games out there that are less objectionable, like ones that are played almost exclusively by kids.

  That sour electric aroma you can smell is the collective anxiety-stench of games journalists trying to decide whether it’s worth sitting through the full investor presentation in the hopes of discovering some proper context for these pitiful morsels - perhaps even a unique angle which none of those other hacks have discovered, the feckless layabouts.

  So he’s taking his frustrations out on the reader by padding his article with sympathy-bait? I’ve come to really dislike Rock Paper Shotgun articles lately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Back 4 Blood 2 appears to be a thing, which is a shame, because I'd rather play a new Evolve⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to remember Evolve more fondly than I do, but I just didn’t have as much fun with it as I hoped. My strongest memories are of feeling annoyed at a constantly recharging jetpack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloud Imperium quietly steal Star Citizen developers' weekends from under them with mandated overtime in the lead up to Citizencon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who okayed this article? It’s just a signal boost of the Inside Gaming article with nothing new added besides anti-Cloud Imperium fluff. Also, they actually misrepresent the lieu time given, conflating the Citizencon lieu time for the Squadron 42 lieu time that has a restriction on when it can be used. As far as the original article goes, there aren’t any know restrictions on the former.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resident Evil and No More Heroes creators join long list of devs who think Metacritic is bad for game dev⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes sense coming from Suda51. I imagine other devs whose games have mostly cult followings would agree as well. Metacritic has the exact same problems as Rotten Tomatoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GE-Proton 9-12 released with fixes for Star Citizen, Bully: Scholarship and more⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone use proton-ge for Star Citizen? Would like to use it because it’s more up to date than wine-ge, but mouse sensitivity just doesn’t feel right in comparison

  The fan translation was fantastic, but I do wonder what official localization would look like.
