Athens, huh? I've been meaning to go there, but seeing this maybe I won't. It is a silly place.

Quoting: Chrisznixa 2d DF-like game

Over the last few years I have been gradually acquiring a pet peeve about the use of acronyms for this kind of thing. The assumption that everyone will get it is generally not accurate (e.g. I have no idea what DF is here).

I assume it refers to Dwarf Fortress; that seems to be a "big name" in the genre.

That's plausible. And since I do in fact know what Dwarf Fortress is, I'm a case where actually saying the words would have conveyed much more information.

I noticed last time there was an article about this game, and I still find it kind of neat, the way the plot and even setting really seem quite dark, but the characters and approach are very chirpy and cheerful, coming out of a much happier tradition from the gloomy cyberpunk feel one might expect.

The assumption that everyone will get it is generally not accurate (e.g. I have no idea what DF is here). Probably some of the people who don't get the acronym would still not get it if the actual words were used, but some would, and the ones who didn't would be able to fire up a search engine and look it up, something the use of an acronym prevents because they're bloody unsearchable.

(And on the other hand if the assumption is that not everyone will get it and that's the point, I'm even more peeved because I hate that kind of leet garbage)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm not bad at typing, actually. This could be a game I wouldn't suck at!

I'm GOOD at typing and got overwhelmed after 10 minutes.

Well, suckage is relative. If everyone else goes down after 5, then 10 minutes is good. If you're playing Stellaris, on the other hand, managing to lose after 10 minutes would be impressively, stupendously bad.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel weird when someone called Slitherine talks about their founding values?

Quoting: PenglingA great bundle here, but it's worth noting that Monster Hunter Rise is one of many games that Capcom has added The Enigma Protector DRM to [External Link] after removing Denuvo, which is not declared on the Humble page.

Originally Capcom also left this undeclared on the Steam pages for every game they've added The Enigma Protector to, for at least four or so months, but they have now finally fixed that, at least.

So Capcom is working with a Batman villain? Mr. Edward Nigma up to his evil schemes again!

The problem with improving a bad update system is, you have to use the old update system to update to the new update system . . .

For some reason I'm imagining the actual attitude of a Norse settler/farmer towards this place. "So, I've got my homestead up and running, everything's pretty prosperous, and I hear far to the West there's a land where there's ash and flame and undead monsters and nothing grows. Well, guess I know where I'm not going!"
