While this one looks interesting, I will never get this trend of shoving "cards" into videogames. Tabletop games should stay right there. - What's next?... Virtual pen and paper and dice in RPVGs??...

GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) version 3.0 is finally out now
19 Mar 2025 at 2:42 pm UTC

I wonder if I can finally just crop down an image with one move like a normal person in the 21st century or if I still need to read an entire guide on how to do anything simple and still be confused.

Upon closer look, it seems it's still just as convoluted. - Oh well...

Lutris game manager v0.5.19 released with improved Proton support
9 Mar 2025 at 10:24 pm UTC

Lutris has been quite terrible for me. - It keeps forgetting the game-libraries randomly over and over and it's not clear how to fix it and updating it doesn't help.
Heroic is solid in that regard, but it doesn't support all the platforms, at least not natively. Just waiting for it to catch up.

They should've just renamed to "Quadruple A Games".

Humble Choice for March 2025 has Pacific Drive
9 Mar 2025 at 10:06 pm UTC

I'm quite alright with EA-keys, I guess... Well, it shouldn't be often, maybe one in a bundle at times.
But EA-games should just come separate to other platforms as well, finally.

Pacific Drive is worth it, though. I purchased it when it launched and it's solid. Worked for me all the way through on Pop!.

Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages
26 Feb 2025 at 4:54 pm UTC

So they can just put a logo on their product, kinda like YouTube-thumbnails started having the "4K"-logo in them when that started becoming a thing, regardless of it being the case or not.

Seriously, how is this going to be proven or guaranteed??... It will be exploited and abused.

Run a game store and go through gaming history in GSC - Game Store Chronicle

Heque yea. - I was interested in perhaps playing that Supermarket Simulator one, at least once they've fleshed it out a lot more (it LOOKS like one of those shovelware games, but they seem to be putting more effort into it), because I like management-games and such, but if they're going to do a game store one, I'm in. XD
The idea of having like a dynamic market behind it that you have to respond to is definitely what makes it more interesting, although I believe the supermarket one does have something similar, even if just fluctuating market-prices.

Nether yeah! The game that keeps on giving.

The Sims and The Sims 2 officially return with a Legacy Collection for each

I never had these game "legally" and I still want to buy them today. But Denuvo for this?... No. These should be on GOG by now or just on Steam without any crap.

Strategy business sim Summer Islands a spiritual successor to Holiday Island from 1996 is out now

Nice! I love this kind of game. - I had never heard of the original, though, even though I'm from that time.
I will have to try the demo of this first. See if it hooks me the same as RCT and the like. And if so, RIP my life.
