- Comment on Future? No Thanks! dev removes AI-generated voices from game and offers refunds to players who feel "betrayed" 2 days ago:
https://www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-no-thanks-update-now-with-no-ai-generated-voices/
Here’s the original blog post the dev made in case anybody wants to read it instead of the RPS article rewording and summarizing half of it.
- Comment on Welp, all of you RuneScape folks who hate Reignited have gotten your wish, as the controversial MMO rejig has been cancelled 1 week ago:
I don’t play Runescape so take all of this with a grain of salt, but… It looks like on character creation you would have been able to create a new “reignited” character, who cannot trade with “veteran” (non-reignited) characters. They would also have access to their own reignited-exclusive worlds (though they could join regular worlds with veteran players). Essentially, it sounds like the goal was to reset the economy for new players so they could experience it as if the game came out today with 25 years worth of updates.
Idk what they were thinking, splitting your community in two by making it so your current playerbase can no longer trade with most future new players sounds like a fucking terrible idea.
- Comment on RimWorld switches engine from Unity to the devs' own, faster Waylith Engine, all apparently without breaking mods somehow 1 week ago:
I bought a couple DLC and have the rest pirated (waiting for a sale), and I also enjoy them all. I haven’t gotten around to playing with gravships yet, but I do really enjoy the new biomes and landmarks Odyssey adds. Probably the last DLC I’ll buy though, because I’m not super interested in nomadic playstyles.
- Comment on RimWorld switches engine from Unity to the devs' own, faster Waylith Engine, all apparently without breaking mods somehow 1 week ago:
A lot of people are recommending Ideology specifically here, and while that would also be my own recommendation, I feel like I need to throw in a caveat.
Ideology is an entirely hit-or-miss DLC, because the entire point of most of it is giving your colony various limitations for roleplaying purposes. If you don’t care about roleplaying then it’s probably one of the last DLC you’d want.
Though it does come with the advantage of being the cheapest DLC.
- Comment on RimWorld switches engine from Unity to the devs' own, faster Waylith Engine, all apparently without breaking mods somehow 1 week ago:
I think this is how a lot of people play the game. I have 650+ hours in Rimworld and haven’t beaten it a single time. I usually don’t even start the questlines.
- Comment on I'm not saying Bethesda are trolling me specifically, but Fallout 4 and Skyrim updates are imminent just as I've modded up the latter for the first time in ages 2 months ago:
They weren’t happy with people fixing their games for free, they want to get paid for it.
What. It’s literally a free update to their already existing creation club DLC. In no way does bethesda get paid for this. Either you didn’t buy the DLC yet and so aren’t using these free fixes, because it’s for a DLC you don’t own, or you already bought the DLC and bethesda won’t be getting any more money out of you from this patch.
I understand the hate for Bethesda and Microsoft, but this is just ridiculous. I don’t own the FO4 DLC so I can’t comment on it, but the Skyrim CC is buggy and unbalanced as all hell, so an official patch for it would be a good thing. And the 77% negative reviews on the FO4 CC DLC tells me it’s probably even worse and more in need of a patch there. More than likely, this is just an attempt to fix their overwhelmingly negative reviews on the FO4 CC bundle in hopes that more people buy it. And if that involves them fixing issues it has, that’s literally a good thing.
Even if it does break mods, the last several times this happened, a downgrade patch was out within hours.
- Comment on What're you playing right now? 2 months ago:
I recently bought a fee games I eagerly wanted to play like Expedition 33, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Sea of Stars. And instead of playing those, I am of course in the middle of my 8 millionth Terraria playthrough, with some Skyrim modding on the side. I don’t even know why I buy new games lol.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows 4 months ago:
For now, I’m sure they’re working out how to best break it as we speak.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows 4 months ago:
I’m pretty sure they should be referring specifically to Windows 11, as it’s still receiving updates.
The article actually goes into further detail on what exact versions its an issue on.
This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including:
- Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016
- Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012
- Comment on Say goodbye to birds and hello to dragons in Wyrmspan, a scalier take on beloved strategy card game Wingspan 5 months ago:
The article is about the digital version on Steam… not that it makes that very clear. I’m like 80% sure the author has no idea this is a port of a physical board game. But yeah, the digital version is new. It’s not even released yet.
- Comment on Split View in Firefox: Two tabs side by side, right where you need them | The Mozilla Blog 6 months ago:
It would be more space efficient without needing to resize any windows. Especially useful if you already have half your screen covered with another program. I can see myself using this a lot.
- Comment on Microsoft’s ‘unhackable’ Xbox One has been hacked by 'Bliss' 7 months ago:
Xbox fucked itself when it released the 360. It’s a cool name and all, but where do you go from there? They can’t back out and name the next one the Xbox 3 because that’s just a downgrade to 360 both audibly and visually. The Xbox 720 like plenty of people thought? That one’s honestly not bad, but at this point you’ve only kicked the can down the road. Because the Xbox 1080 or 1440 doesn’t sound nearly as good.
I can’t tell if they were just scared to have the “Xbox 2” compete with the “PlayStation 3”, or if it was just MS not knowing how to name a damn product.
- Comment on [TheGamer] Overwatch Beats Marvel Rivals' 24-Hour Steam Concurrent Player Peak 7 months ago:
I didn’t care for Rivals too much because none of the characters really clicked with me, the shark’s ult was total bullshit imo, and there were far too many characters that spent the entire game just flying in the air.
Overwatch has a few characters I really enjoy playing in each role, doesn’t really have any crazy ults like Rivals, and only one character (the newly added cat) spends the entire game in the air.
Overwatch is probably in the best state it’s been in since launch, but only if you’re not susceptible to FOMO. Because holy hell do they abuse FOMO at every opportunity with absurdly expensive character skins, that shit’s their bread and butter. Like, don’t want to buy the battlepass? Oh well, that’s one more mythic skin (the game’s highest quality, customizable skins) you’ll never get. Want to get one of those skins at a later point? That’ll cost you 80 fucking dollars.
- Comment on [TheGamer] Indie Dev Reveals Awful Returns After Paid Appearance In Mix Showcase 7 months ago:
People might have simply not liked what they saw.
Problem is more that nobody saw it in the first place. Despite being a YouTube channel with 1.25 million subs, the 2 hour long stream got a grand total of 1,600 views. For $600, that’s less than 3 views per dollar. And that’s assuming these people got far enough into the stream to see this particular trailer. Honestly I’m impressed they even got 65 new wishlists with numbers like that.
- Comment on Dominion of Darkness - free Dark Lord Simulator 7 months ago:
Looks like a lot of, if not all of, the art is AI-generated. And this isn’t disclosed anywhere on the game’s page from what I can tell. Disappointing, to say the least.
- Comment on Dominion of Darkness - free Dark Lord Simulator 7 months ago:
After watching the first 15 seconds or so of the video, my takeaway is that it’s a very popular Roblox YouTuber (almost 5 million subs) playing a bunch of scam games and showing that they don’t give robux. So it’s not actually advertising a scam.
Still super fucking weird and random to put it there though.
- Comment on Mewgenics Co-Creator Responds to Cameo Complaints: 'I Understand We Live in a Time Where a Meow From Someone Who Has Different Beliefs as You Is Scary and Frustrating, Confusing and Controversial' 8 months ago:
Very disappointed, Edmund. I guess anyone can have shit takes.
- Comment on PSA: There's a free Fallout 4 mod for that Fallout Show NCR power armour Bethesda are charging $30 for as DLC 8 months ago:
$30 for a cosmetic DLC with like 4 items in it is crazy regardless. Especially for $40 game with a $13/month subscription.
- Comment on Plague Inc: Evolved gets a "vastly improved playing experience on Steam Deck" 8 months ago:
It’s hard to say if there’s any new differences, as the FaQ listing them hasn’t been updated once in the last decade. But if the mobile version is getting new content like the steam version, I’d say they’re probably getting the same updates.
The big changes are multiplayer (both a competitive mode and cooperative mode), all of the expansions come with the game for free, and general UI improvements. Plus you have access to a Steam Workshop full of custom scenarios. Most of which are low effort shit posts (see: “femboyitis"), but there are plenty of high quality ones in there.
- Comment on You'll no longer earn Steam points from community awards, as Valve try to kill off clownface-farming 8 months ago:
I was very happy when I saw this change on Steam. So tired of looking at the comments of some game’s patch notes only to see blatant homophobia and transphobia with 500 clown awards as one of the top comments. I mean, people will probably still do it, because people are assholes. But at least they’re not getting rewarded for it anymore.
- Comment on New York City is being recreated at 1:1 scale inside Minecraft — project is 5 years in and contains over 50,000 buildings so far 9 months ago:
Further proof that humanity is incapable of learning from their mistakes.
- Comment on Amazon's once-hailed fantasy MMO New World will vanish from servers in a year's time 9 months ago:
Rock and Stone! Games like DRG and Helldivers 2, with a heavy focus on cooperative PvE, have always appealed to me waaaay more than any of the more popular multiplayer games like CoD or something. I’d rather work with other players than fight them, 100% of the time.
- Comment on Ah yes, a Palworld card game is on the way, can't think of any other creature collector that has one of those 9 months ago:
Maybe the protagonist and a couple friends could go traveling around the world with the goal of capturing all the different Pals, that’d be cool.
- Comment on Minecraft's getting cuter baby animals whose single pixel eyes you can stare into as you nudge them into lava 9 months ago:
Cube chick is definitely the best of the bunch, though they’re all winners here. Better baby animals were long overdue.
- Comment on I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop 9 months ago:
Yeah, Pinta is currently what I’m using as a replacement. It’s more or less what I need, but it’s not perfect and the UI is difficult to navigate and leaves a lot to be desired (though tbf that might be my paint.net muscle memory fighting me.)
- Comment on I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop 9 months ago:
It’s been an unfortunately difficult problem for me to troubleshoot since it only happens occasionally. I appreciate the help though, I’ll give disabling it a shot (it was enabled.)
- Comment on I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop 9 months ago:
I’ve been on Mint for about two months now. Took some getting used to and there was a pretty large chunk of stuff to learn, but I’ve got most things figured out now. AlternativetTo.net has been a lifesaver and has helped me find replacements for most programs I use regularly. Though I still desperately miss paint.net.
Now I just need to figure out why my audio crackles sometimes when I’m playing games.
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 10 months ago:
Only 2% new releases for me. Literally just Peak and then a couple of trials for games like Trails in the Sky, all of which individually account for <1% of my total play time this year.
- Comment on With little fanfare, Helldivers 2's creative director shares that Arrowhead are prototyping a roguelite mode 10 months ago:
I would never call HD2 an extraction shooter. Extraction is a completely optional objective at the end of the mission, as you succeed with or without successfully extracting, and even still get all of your rewards aside from samples. It’s such a minor part of the game that the store page doesn’t even mention it once as a feature. So sure, while you do shoot things and try to extract, for the same reason HD2 isn’t an RTS just because you need to make strategic decisions in real time, HD2 is far removed from the extraction shooter genre and fits significantly better into the team horde shooter genre.
And honestly, the rogue-like/lite distinction is a lost cause IMO. Even people into the genres will continue to call games like the Binding of Isaac a rogue-like until the end of time.
I agree there’s no way to know how this will turn out with what we know. At the end of the day, it’s all speculation about something we have no info on.
- Comment on With little fanfare, Helldivers 2's creative director shares that Arrowhead are prototyping a roguelite mode 10 months ago:
Rogue-likes/lites and horde shooters are entirely unrelated genres with very minor overlaps, so I don’t see why you think that.
