There's something relaxing about watching Make Some Noise while grinding on an RPG.

It's so fucking weird that games used to just drop in price after a couple years. Even the most successful ones! They'd just come back onto shelves at 1/3 the price as a start!

Now games are just 60-70 bucks in perpetuity. From high art to finely crafted dogshit, you're paying full price forever.

I'll never forget quitting this game after 5 hours because it was boring and then coming back to it 7 years later to find out just how fucking boring it actually is.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FINAL FANTASY 15
Celebrating 9 years since we first drove off into the horizon on an unforgettable road trip in Final Fantasy XV.

What was the best recipe you made on this journey?

Thank you to everyone who reads and shares my work. It means a lot.

A real shame that Canada must now rely upon imported meat.
I had no idea our pornography was subject to Canadian content quotas to begin with and I have so many questions

Discussed politics at Thanksgiving, but everyone is a leftist>>>

Anyway, I think there's value in telling stories that are messy, or don't have perfectly nice endings, or that are otherwise difficult to take in. It's okay to be uncomfortable sometimes.

You know a game has the juice when people are still fighting over it every single day for 7 months after it comes out lol

Been struggling to finish this one a bit, but not through any fault of the game. I've just been sick. Anyways, Demonschool is great!

Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again
Saw someone cite the Collective Shout thing and payment processors in regards to the Horse situation and say "Valve can't fight them by itself", and I think we maybe shouldn't be defending multi-billion dollar companies for arbitrary takedowns of artistic works and acting like they're the little guy

Guilty Gear will never die
I can't believe even after all of this time I'm still seeing Kliff 2D interactions I have never seen before

Feel like I've been screaming into the void a bit when I talk about how great Consume Me is and how people need to play it. Awesome to see something like this.
This was such a special video to make, and I really appreciate the Consume Me team being so generous with their time and ARTIFACTS! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfaM...

Honest analysis: as this poorly-applied policy can kill 75% of sales for a game like this, it's indicative of a wider, ongoing crisis for the creative potential of video games. Valve may not intend anti-art sanitizing, but that's the result.

Developers don't have much choice, but players still do.

FINISHED! THATS TOO MANY WORDS FOR ONE ARTICLE!

Posting it anyway.
