I mentioned it earlier, but I am serious that if any outlet is considering doing a review of the Steam Frame, I am throwing my hat in the ring. I have plenty of VR experience across PSVR1, Oculust Rift S, PSVR2, and Quest 3. I have used the latter both for PCVR and standalone.

love this story. also "Epic Mickey" translates to "Giant Penis" for any Irish person. thought I should mention that.
I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.”
Oh well. That’s over.

BREAKING: Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and will allow its iconic characters to be on the company's Sora AI video generator.

Finished the Z-A DLC - very cute ending. Why did they make the final section of the story so grindy to get through?

I was worried that Pragmata wouldn't work right with kb/m but somehow they nailed the controls there, too. Awesome.

Often the stickiest intrusive thoughts or vocal stims are tied to something severely fucked up and it makes you feel like Roger Rabbit when he's hiding in the closet and they do the shave and a haircut knock.

Curious about story implications of Control: Resonance. Seeing folks upset about no Jesse but I have a few ideas what might be up where that makes sense.

Not only that it came less than a minute after focusing on a child with her mother. Steam has notably denied NSFW vns in the past because there was a child as part of the cast unrelated to any NSFW material. If you're big enough and not anime the kid can be standing 5 feet away from an orgy I guess
It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

Oh that's a good change.
Steam now warns if an item in your cart can be purchased cheaper as part of a bundle.

Blocking anyone parroting the same tired claim that the E33 team doesn't respect JRPGs when the director literally thanked Sakaguchi when accepting GOTY.

Shot's not even in the trailer. Every cockpit shot @jaskel.side6.space and I can find looks nothing like that and the trailer is FULL of high-detail control panels and background textures.
