I’ve never heard of CWA. Would be nice to get them really emailing/connecting the right people.

I feel like I read articles like this every few years. And outside of the folding proteins “game”, I rarely see them get mainstream appeal and contribution.

In more positive news, I do see a lot of open-source projects, run by volunteers, get public contributions, which tells me people do want to help.

Why not both?

I’ve been pretty impressed with the Oblivion Remastered of putting a brand new skin on old tech. I want to play FF8

And honestly, I like FF7 remake. It was a love letter to PS1 fans.

The same issue with all the Stardew Valley killers, even if they try not to.

It’s a super toxic category constantly being compared.

This might come off as being a old gamer, but I feel like they’ve been saying this about AAA games since 2000s.

Sure, 90% of them will play it super safe. But there’s always 1 AAA game that breaks the mold and suddenly, the AAA games will follow that. Or imitate whatever indie game is doing with a higher budget.

They know I use Linux and that means they know too much

Is this real? Did I just not get far enough?

Kind of frustrating because I liked Ori, which I felt was a beautiful piece of art. Only to find out this guy is a edge lord.

Beautifully shot movie. Costumes were great. Amazing talent!

Don’t ask us about the story or execution though.

Absolutely. Every person coming into any project wants it to be the best and succeed.

That energy fades after a while depending on leadership, execution, meddling from the top, bad project management, etc.

Kill the Justice League, it’s art style and world is pretty attractive. Walking around the Hall of Justice, the details in various neighborhoods, it’s a nerd’s dream. I’m sure the art book is gorgeous.

Once you throw in the gameplay and all the special effects, it’s kind of a bore.

This is pretty impressive work.

This also means that, in theory, any Xbox 360 game should now be fully Recompilable for native PC port goodness, including those unsupported by modern Xbox Backward Compatibility, effectively freeing several games from the graveyard — and opening the doors of modding wider than ever.

Sure, it might hit some legal obstacles for a time. But right now on Steam, there are companies releasing emulated versions of their classic games. I hope in a few years, this work turns into legal versions on Steam.

As it should be.

I don’t mind a monopoly on a physical product as long as I can jailbreak it, install my own custom hardware, or modify it however I want.
