Was it just the steam versions that were having issues? Maybe it's related to their enigma drm?

Even if some elements were to be inspired by pokemon, its pretty obvious palworld does its own thing

Creative people always draw inspiration from somewhere, doesn't make it copying or ripping off though

Horizon Chase Turbo is getting delisted after the Epic Games layoffs

Game preservation takes another hit.
And "piracy" gains new fans, as usual. After all the game is preserved and will most likely still be available, just involuntarily.
It'll probably appear on abandonware sites which AFAIK are legal (though probably abit of a grey area)

Quoting: ChrisznixPerfect timing. The rightwing party of germany just claimed almost 20% in one of the lands...🤮
Quoting: Geppeto35Yesterday, the French municipal elections also saw a historic breakthrough for the far-right party, which openly aligns on nazis and fascists roots, helped (as right before the WWII) by the traditional right wing that fears a true left elected.

Sadly, it smells like our generation could be "all out of bubblegums" in the next decade in this mad world!
Has anyone ever stopped to ask those voting this way WHY? I don't follow European politics closely so I could be wrong about this, but from what I can tell the major voting point is immigration and the downstream effects (like increased housing prices as one example).

Add to this, people calling them Nazis for wanting something different than you might want will only exclude them and dig them into their positions. If you are an open-borders proponent (or whatever the issue might be), you won't change any minds calling people names and telling them they are wrong/dumb.

Extremism is created when there is a lack of communication, and I see this divide worsening as people seemingly refuse to engage civilly with one another. Futher, I am hesitant to call anyone extremist when they simply have a diffent opinion. Is it really extremist to want to stop immigration and deport some of the current immigrants? Compared to rounding them up and shooting them - an actual extremist view? You might not want that, but is wanting that (the deporting, not executing) really extreme? If so, can I argue that importing them is at the other end of extreme? That is an honest question. FYI I don't think either position is truly extreme.
Alot of these people tend to be misled by the goverment though.. "it's not our fault your life is shitty, its that immigrants fault"

Take Brexit here in the UK for example. Everyone I know who voted to leave was due to immigration.

Yet under the EU we could send illegal immigrants to the EU country they entered from, then brexit happened

Subsequently, the small boat crisis wasn't a thing pre-brexit, but not seen a single brexiteer who will acknowledge this and instead beat their chests and still act like brexit was a good thing.

Critical thinking needs to be used more with right wing parties, instead of being so biased about their opinions all the time

Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

Is there anything like lutris that has installers for old games?

I like heroic but I like to use lutris for old abandonware games because it has community scripts that automatically handle patches, fixes ect

I don't think I played this one myself back in the day

For me it was either brain bread, Vampire slayer or natural selection :)

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeYou don't really get console "generations" like we use to, when a new console offered a generational difference in terms of what games could do, it's more incremental increases, higher res, higher fps, better raytracing
The next generation of consoles will feature AI that plays games for you and they will advertise it as a replacement for twitch and youtube. Why watch some random dudes play games when you can have your best friend Cortana play the game before your very eyes, all the while unlocking accolades on your account.
Reading this reminds me of the xbox one launch lol

"TV"

"Streaming"

More TV, and then some more streaming

"Sports"

Yeah OK xbox, but where's the fun games to get excited about?!

It's definitely an interesting move away from the traditional console

For me personally I'm not as bothered by having raw performance anymore, or playing xbox games, as I tend to mostly play indie or older titles.. affordability is the main attraction for me
