games

Honestly surprised it took so long for a mainstream attempt at a zoo horror game, setting is ripe with it as well as the possible themes. Zoochosis for instance is actually the mental breakdown and psychosis zoo animals can suffer under from long term confinement without proper enrichment at zoos.

Playing games on Duckstation it just clicked with me that I only ever see this screen on bootup in the few PAL roms I keep around when I remember seeing it in most PS1 games as a kid. (Being a dumb kid I thought PIRACY in all caps was some kind of sinister organisation) The spellings of "offence" and "unauthorised" definitely point to this being something coming from Sony's UK branch.

I wonder why only PAL games have a warning like this and whether it had something to do with the UK and Europe having a pre-existing thriving culture of copying, downloading and cracking games thanks to the popularity of computer gaming where those things were trivial to do.

Imagine calling Sony's Customer Service in 1998 to tell them that you suspect that the copy of Metal Gear Solid that's a CD-R with METALL GER SOLID CD 1 scribbled on it you got off your classmate isn't genuine

have any other information about pirate product

Early morning on the west coast, virtually ALL CSGO Vertigo games are being played by 6-player bot lobbies.

I believe they rotate which player "wins" on the team of 4 real players, while having the remaining 5 afk in spawn until the game ends.

The only way to get into lobbies such as this is when the botter fucks up and accidentally accepts the final 10th invite without every one of his bots queued up.

Realistically, you will queue up for Vertigo 100s of times. Each/every single time the botter will cancel the matchmaking process and hope that the real person doesn't queue up again.

I have submitted several tickets (and obviously reported users unfortunate enough to get me in their lobby), but Valve seems to imply they can't do anything about this...

I've got a friend I want to do tabletop sim with and we're looking for game recs! Wargames and stuff aren't entirely off the table but we'd prefer things that aren't just you vs me kinda stuff. I thought clank might be fun but I haven't tried it out yet. If yall have any favorite drop them in the comments and we'll give them a look!

I tried playing on the live server but I was turned off by the cash shop junk and how top heavy the game is, everyone is level 100+ with fab gear and it felt lonely at the bottom. Plus Prontera is a mess and lags my game given how many people are vending there.

So I'm trying out this small private server called Payon Stories. And I made a swordsman. The game feels just like I remembered, well sort of, because I played during the private beta before features like blacksmithing were added in. When I played cards were new so I need to learn a whole bunch of stuff but it's fun! I'm aiming to make this character a hybrid knight and farm mummies in the pyramid dungeon or orcs.

wanted to buy one and it was 120 usd, what the fukc

It's been open source and "ambiguously" GPL for a long time but as of yesterday it is super duper official definitely under GPLv2. Just source code, not assets of course.

They're both still slave countries with segregation and legal guardianship of women. The only policy differences are police and the communists being a council republic. The industrialists and trade unionists are about to launch a second civil war over poor laws. Despite Louis Bonaparte being the leader of the petit bourgeoisie with 73% political representation and sole control of the government, their president is an agrarian reformer.

This is such a stupid war. I've never seen it break out in such an absurd way.

edit: The communists won the civil war in just under a year. Napoleonic America has fallen. I repeat, the Bonapartes have fled.
