Yea, until devs started leaking the dates way in advance for some attention. I prefer official communication over the dev of "Washcloth Simulator" spoiling the surprise.

ORDER!

I am on a quest to play through all of the classic FPS. So I will put some time in Doom64.

Valve is not the one setting the prices. The publishers/developers are. One could argue that they are increasing their prices becauses of Valve's cut, but they aren't. A Ubisoft game for example costs the same on Steam as it does on the Ubisoft store, which is obviously not taking any cuts for its own games.

Also, 30% is the industry standard. Here is a nice overview IGN made in 2019. https://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2019/09/GameRetailerCuts_infographic-1.png

Edit for the price parity argument: If the parity would have increased game prices to include Valve's cut, AAA games would have gotten 30% more expensive many years ago. But they didn't.

Perfect Dark

Never played the original one.

I know you don't care, but I was in the same position as you. I gave up and tried to drown myself in food and alcohol.

Things can change. Even if you are 100% sure right now that they won't. When they changed for me, my mind and body already had irreparable damage. My memory suffered from the alcohol, my body will forever look ugly from the rapid weight gain. No amount of working out can fix that.

What I am trying to say is: Even if you don't believe in it, your attitude can change. Just like that, from one day to the next. Then you will regret your choices, but the damage is already done. Remember that.

I loved helping people find games they couldn't remember the names of.

Miez! Guter Katzenpapa...

I finished the second half of Hrot, a boomer shooter. It plays like a mix of Dusk and Quake 1, set in Czechoslovakia in the 80s.

Really good atmosphere, nice enemy variety, good level design with lots of secrets, great music, average gunplay.

I had a lot of fun and reading up about all the references to real life Czechoslovakia and Chech culture was quite interesting and educational.

I started playing Dave the Diver. It has a lot of charm, but it feels like two mobile games stiched together. I kinda like it, but I wish there was more to it.

Danger Danger!

Sadly not. But thanks for trying!

Nope. But thanks for trying! :D

A pretty famous song from the 80s. I only remember the intro, which sounds similar to the intro of "Take my breath away" by "Berlin". Just a bass, going Dum Dum - Dum Dum. I know nothing else, not even if the singer is male or female. Tried to find it a few times, no luck.

A "tremendous turn off" he says?

Sounds exhausting. How about the menu? Study it like there will be a test on it tomorrow.

I am still riding the MP3 train. Music from indies and smaller bands I buy on Bandcamp or directly from the artist. Bigger bands from larger labels and really obscure stuff I get from Soulseek.

Discovering music got more difficult after leaving Reddit, I lurked on a lot of genre subs. Now I mostly find new stuff through friends or Youtube recommendations.

TotalBiscuit taught me a lot about having standards and standing by them. Also about consumer rights and voting with your wallet.

I think Songwhip is what you are looking for. Here is an example: https://songwhip.com/ed-schraders-music-beat/pilot
