Replaced the sprite for the teleporting wizard boss with a sprite of my own. Just one more to go!

In most cases, I want people to go to the trouble of finishing their work. Nothing worse than a series which suffers from sequelitis, either due to the artist or the suits. As much as I love the Drizzt books, for instance, there certainly didn't need to be as many of them as there were.

Games are different, because if the core mechanical systems and sandbox are fun enough, then a game being mod-compatible means it can theoretically have infinite content. I still play L4D2 because it's the best zombie game ever made and Steam Workshop support means it will literally never stop new stuff; some of it might even be good!

Your poll, intentionally or not, treats games as "modern consumable product" numbered to infinity where they have little or no replay value, and the beautiful thing about games is that even controlled single-player experiences can be breeding grounds for self-imposed challenges.

I hate, that even after so many years, the list of "lies and deformations caused by the school system" still keeps on growing.

@druid individualism is great, hence why i had to distinguish it from (at least) the usa's superficial treatment of it. it's the kind of trap that makes people think they don't have to work together to get shit done and build functional orgs and communities

So it turns out that Mother 3 did get released outside of Japan, just only in Hong Kong and Taiwan on NSO.

Hey guys, it's my birthday today and the best present would be if you went and gave my upcoming game, God's Disdain, a wishlist on Steam! I'd also appreciate signal boosting and letting other people know about the game :D

I've been working on this game for nearly a decade and it is finally coming out on March 14th, being free for everyone! It'll be completely unencrypted and DRM free as well, so anyone can mod and share it.

It's a mix of the classic Dragon Quest games and Elder Scrolls, with a turn-based RPG battle system and a world where every NPC is named and follows their own unique schedules. The story follows Tamiko and Kenshin, two young adults who are trying to stop a plague that has been killing all of the plant life on their continent. The main story cutscenes have full voice acting and make use of paintings to show off key moments!

There will be a demo available on February 3rd since the game is part of the RPG Maker Festival 2025. I hope you guys will enjoy it :)

People who are gushing over DeepSeek don't know that gpt4all exists and has completely uncensored models.

It's almost creepy to me, hearing about how so many people born deaf, upon gaining the ability to hear, remark how quiet the sun is. They grow up assuming that it should be very loud.
I keep imagining as if it should, but for some reason we don't hear it, and deaf people have this instinct that it should. Like a cool horror prompt.

Mark your calendars! Ian Freeman's appellate hearing is set for February 5th, and you can be there to show your support.

@KaiserKitty @xianc78 windows users like this want to fight people online like console fanboys do on the weekend (the real way to subvert linux is just to install people in positions of power)

@xianc78 My thing is more idk why you are actively watching and commenting on Linux content when you are just saying the same stock shit every time. Esp since ppl spread so much Misinformation about SteamOS. SteamOS is tailor made for a small number of mini PCs. It probably not be a viable desktop OS especially for someone with a HDR VRR monitor. Proton/Wine is not exclusive to SteamOS. SteamOS is not the only Linux distort supported by a big corporation. If you really want a SteamOS like experience for a home theater PC you can just set steam to open in big picture mode or use Bazzite. SteamOS will not magically fix every issue you have with Linux just because Valve = Good.

Can we ban Windows users from ever commenting on Linux videos? I dont need to hear about you totally wanna switch but muh adobe muh CAD muh GTA online muh valorant muh Ill wait for SteamOS to hit desktop. Annoying thing more annoying then Linux Evangelicals is the nuclear tier cope from Winblows users anytime they are faced with an actually functional OS. Like I get you are still offended over those Mac ads from the Vista and being bullied in middle school for having an android
