Quoting: NezchanI would say that the lack of recipes for items you get a lot of (troll hide, bone fragments, maybe something to do with tree seeds?) is probably my biggest issue with the game. You end up just throwing away a lot of material, and that doesn't feel good. So having things you can make with all these extra bits that you quickly outgrow the need for would be nice.

I'd settle for being able to throw things you don't need into a furnace as fuel or something similar.
It's not realistic to expect all items to remain useful throughout - no survival game has that, really.

A filter to not automatically pick some things up would also help.
My partner and me often end up picking up what the other person has just thrown away

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI like the look, it's cute. I'm more of a single-player kind of guy, though.
Same.

But it does say single-player on the Steam page, so I suppose multiplayer isn't a requirement at all.

Quoting: tomaszgSad he had to apologize. It's only encouraging more attacks of this kind on other people.
Well, he did something that one should actually apologize for. It's not one of these situations where some bored blue checkmark dug up some ancient tweet or forum post, removes all context and starts going on a crusade for virtue currency.

He made really bad comments on topics he didn't know much of anything about - on a public space.
Like... stuff that makes casual N-wording seem innocent (IMO).

But it was so odd and so out of touch, it's easy to see how if that wasn't edgy satire, he simply didn't know any better (and his general social awkwardness is well known, not all people are aware of all things social), so an apology and quite a loss of power is fine.

Of course, to the cancel and outrage mob, an apology and sensible consequences is never enough and once they smell blood, they'll keep at it until the target has been properly removed from society or they get bored and move on to their next ritualistic public hanging.

It definitely speaks against the FSF that they were unaware about the uproar this would cause in modern times.
But their handling of the situation - from not letting a member getting cancelled to seeking to improve their structure to prevent further similar incidents, it's all just very level-headed - definitely made me a supporter.

Vectorio is a new free to play survival tower defense game out on Steam

I'm always very sceptical about "free" games.
But I see no MTX here or anything.

How are the developers planning to raise money - or is this more of a hobby project?

Amnesia: Rebirth gets an adventure mode for more thrill and less heart attacks
31 March 2021 at 7:58 am UTC

Quoting: Luke_NukemHonestly I wish the Nu-Dooms had mode slike this too. Endless arena combat with waves is tiring.
It's only endless if you die... and you know what the solution to THAT is
Though I do agree that a few of them felt like they were really dragging it out.

For Amnesia, I really don't get the need for it, though.
The light sources are ample unless you light every single torch on your way, dying is inconsequential (I died a bunch and wasn't locked out of any ending), ...

Anyway, for this kind of game, I don't have a problem with story modes existing.

Retro FPS Ion Fury getting an Aftershock expansion this Summer

Quoting: WJMazepasI really loved this game. Last year was the first time i played Duke Nukem and Ion Fury and really enjoyed both of then so now i want to try every FPS made on this engine
Once you run out of the "official" games, I can recommend The AMC TC a lot.
A fan-made total conversion with some custom features, 9 playable characters (yes, really) and some pretty decent to good maps.

Microsoft reportedly have Discord in their sights to acquire
24 March 2021 at 7:31 am UTC Likes: 2

Hmmm, mixed bag.
Github is fine after their acquisition. As is Minecraft (if not better, actually).
Skype just went downhill after MS took over.

Those are honestly the only projects that MS bought that I had any personal interest in.

I don't really care enough for Discord to react one way or the other.
I'll just keep using it as needed, unless it becomes crappy now.
