The bigger your backlog of games is right now, the better. No need to buy new games for a looooong time.


Been playing Enderal for the last three weeks or so. Downright impressive RPG, blows Skyrim out of the water easily. Made by indies, but AAA quality, and free of all things!





To think of it, “Cyanide Ice Cream and Cum Soup” would fit really well right next to “Needle Up My Cock” and “Expose Yourself to Kids”.



“Cyanide Ice Cream and Cum Soup” sounds like an album title for a GWAR-style shock rock band.


There are no recommendation algorithms for content, you are one! Search for communities based on your interests and subscribe to them. The Communities view of your home instance and Lemmy Explorer are good for that. Because Lemmy is decentralized, all discussion isn’t centered around one site like on Reddit, which may at first give an impression of emptiness.

I also wrote an extensive guide about Lemmy few weeks ago.

Welcome!



I may have used Skype for the last time in 2014 or so.


On May 5, Microsoft’s Skype will shut down for good
Understandable choice, given that Skype is pretty much redundant with Teams. Back in 2004-2005 Skype was really hyped because of free voice calls through the Internet, but few days later several other messaging apps incorporated that feature; Skype's thunder was stolen. Also its inconsistent branding was a problem: there was Skype for Business that later became Lync, ultimately becoming Teams. Skype kind of became forgotten and obsolete.

Drunkard Simulator – Announcement Trailer
Looks like open-world simulator games coming from Finland have one common theme: getting drunk. The competition between this and the previously posted Last Drop is going to be tough. Regardless I am delighted of Finnish culture being represented in games.

Xbox Boss Surrenders In The Great Console Wars
This has been evident for anyone following the gaming industry, but now Phil Spencer basically admits it. Good for them, actually.

LastDrop -Global Announcement trailer-
Feels great to have a game that represents Finnish urban culture from the 90s with promises to combine that vibe with Kaurismäki and Tarantino. However the character models could be more livelier. And that music sounds so AI-generated, hopefully the final game doesn't use it.

Humane is shutting down the AI Pin and selling its remnants to HP
So much hype about the AI Pin and how it was going to revolutionize how we use computers. Several bad reviews and they hype dried up like the Aral Sea – and poof, now it's gone.

Another variation of that is claiming how getting sick repeatedly is somehow beneficial for getting a strong immune system. That ignores research, as children who have a lot of common infections early in life have higher risk of moderate to severe infections and antibiotic use throughout childhood. That also ignores viruses for which a durable immunity isn’t currently possible, such as COVID.

EDIT: Basically the immunity system doesn’t work like a muscle.



Zelda Producer Says There Will Be No DLC For Tears Of The Kingdom
The game is so huge anyways in terms of content already so who really needs DLC for it?

And this seems to be Ubisoft’s second game currently in development hell, alongside Beyond Good and Evil 2.



Skull And Bones Creative Director Has Reportedly Left
As if the game's development process hadn't been any more of a farce.

“Global warming” was used way before Smash Mouth. This is like saying “Lil Wayne invented guitar solos”.



“Nintendo Super Switch-U2 & Knuckles”, comes with the new U2 album pre-loaded and a game starring the Edge.


Been playing Smash Bros Ultimate on Switch. On the PC side of things, GOG has a YUGE sale and I bought whole a lot of old games: Tomb Raider Underworld, Pandemonium 2, Lords of The Fallen, Runaway, Disney’s Hercules and a lot more. I played Pandemonium on PC as a kid but never touched the sequel. As a kid Disney’s Hercules movie was my favorite and my siblings told how I was obsessed about it, and I played the game a little bit back then. Lords of the Fallen seems to be a Dark Souls clone but with a smaller budget.








Maybe they were short-sighted and didn’t see it as commercially viable?



And it’s not going to be a big-name Hollywood actor, in video games it’s usually a “nobody” compared to them.


Yes, it basically boils down to diminishing returns, it also eats up all the good potential for creative graphic design.


I like iMac’s colorful design. It really stood out from the beige-grey PC’s back then. My dream would be to build a sleeper PC inside the iMac.
