I am aware how it’s spelt. Typo on mobile. :)

Touche good sir/ma’am!

I am showing my age here, but it seems that boomer in context of slang means old person if you are in your 20s or earlier.

I would love a management/tycoon game where you build out black mesa and have to take care of your scientists and guards.

WW2?

I am not going to get into the discussion around the “boomer shooter” name, but surely HL1 would be considered part of the Gen X experience.

The youngest millennials were in their early teens in 1998. The last members of Gen X were finishing up secondary school in 1998.

I say this as a relatively early to mid generation millennial born in the late 80s.

The whole generational cohort approach can be very limiting. IMO late cohort Gen X and early-mid cohort Millenials have a lot in common.

It was all right. It was fun to try something new.

I was more into RPGs and strategy games even back then.

I remember playing Jill of the Jungle in early 1997, it was on one of those “100 in 1” pirate CD that were common around the time the CD-ROM was introduced (became somewhat common in my region).

That same pirate compilation had Commander Keen, Dune 2 and many other games.

Wannabe American oligarch.

The things he allegedly argues against (Apple/Google app store restrictions) is what he would implement (word for word copy/paste arguments) if he was in their position.

Typical corrupt scum.

That’s in terms of games.

If you look at the content on Steam, there is lots of pro-russian genocidal imperialism messaging (even in charity DLC releases), Nazi stuff and annoying fake anti-woke posturing.

They don’t do anything about it because of their alleged committment to “free speech”. I find that unconvincing, they simply can’t be bothered.

Based on the trailer seems like a game version of a gore/torture/faux-snuff horror movie.

You’re welcome to perceive what I am saying as a reflexive “America bad” outburst driven by current developments.

And I will take the liberty of saying that it is possible that there is significant nuance to my arguement.

Not to mention that I’ve lived for several years across multiple countries in North America, Europe and Asia and visited another 25 countries.

Btw, I am not only flexing with the “I have travelled the world!!!” comments. :)

I am also pointing out that it would be difficult for me to enjoy living/travelling in other countries if I reflexively said things like “This place sucks! What a shithole!”.

Without playing/seeing what Horses is like, it’s difficult to evaluate Valve’s decision.

That being said there is tons of weird and fucked up NSFW stuff on Steam.

Banning a transgressive game seemingly without any explicit content seems excessive.

From my perspective, this is another reason it’s a bad idea to have an American company (even a somewhat user-focused one like Valve) be a steward of modern digital services. Local culture puts too much emphasis on the theatrical elements of morality. Not to mention the challenges faced by the locals in areas such as corruption and rule of law (Valve trying to cheat on refunds, adding mandatory arbitration clauses, Soviet-style kangaroo courts essentially, and operating unlicensed gambling schemes).

If anything, LLM output tends to have an oppposite feel, too coherent in an unnatural and paradoxically disconnected way.

I once thought that song was about mortality and the necessity of carpeing that diem, but it turns out Pink Floyd were stealthily pitching the core concept for Erosion, an open world roguelike shooter from Plot Twist in which the world advances one decade when you die.

For some reason the phrase “carping that diem” had me chuckling.

From reading some articles on this topic, the pushback against AI generated code was indeed a culmination broader issues with the management of GZDoom.

It sounded like a fork would have happened sooner or later.

I also dislike the use of Synty packs (I am surprised they haven’t added more variations), but I don’t think Tavern Keeper uses Synty.

No, there is no Patreon.

The headline is not well written, but it doesn’t actually say WoW is coming to consoles.

“Wow is not getting easier in preparation for a hypothetical console release” is what they were trying to say.

It just so happened that every member of the unionization chat (across multiple locations?) was engaged in gross misconduct.
