This is the second plug-in I've read about in the last two weeks that causes major system crashes on the Steam Deck. Why are these little add on tools breaking the whole OS? That's nuts.

Starting to think Lego finally realized how big the adult nerd merch market is and now they're all in. Look I'm sure this set makes certain demographics on the Internet very happy, but it just highlights how different Lego is these days. For better or worse, Lego would never have produced this set 10 years ago. It's an awkwardly rendered head of a videogame character and that's it. Fuck, I'm gonna rant now.

I know it's been said a million times, but I really miss old Lego themes untied to other brands. I'm aware that Star Wars and other IP saved the company from going under 20+ years ago, but they're not a struggling business anymore. They don't need to be making displays of pop culture references instead of original concepts to stay afloat; they're doing it because it's insanely profitable. Just make something new, please. I don't even want "old Lego" nostalgia fan service with revived legacy themes. Just do something other than "city" that isn't based on some other company's media.

Hype: The Time Quest, a 90s PC game by Playmobil that was a formative part of my childhood. Surprisingly dark story for baby's first 3D action adventure game. Took quite a bit of work to get it running on Steam Deck, but I'm about 3/4 through it. Starting to lose my patience with the awful fucking tank controls, though. Tried to modernize them a little with Steam Input, but the platforming is killing me.

I'm planning on checking out the Wario Land series myself soon. Recently got a cheap retro handheld and that's on my list for sure.

Vindictus?

I know it's just an announce video to raise money, but those animations are rough. Yes, gameplay should come first, but if they're looking to attract a modern audience they really need to make their visuals a priority early on, especially when one of the biggest selling points of Chibi-Robo was the charm of the friendly little robot.

Jesus christ, please not fucking Pelosi.

You forgot the holy battle pass for exclusive creature skins. That's too pessimistic. Maybe it's been a while since I played them, but I think Black & White 1 + 2 had the scope of what an ambitious indie game is capable of today. Or a (these days) rare "AA" budget game. A modern B&W could be similarly scaled to the originals, but expanding on them creatively. Though of course the IP would never be granted to indie devs if anyone still holds the rights of Lionhead Studios.

Black & White 3 should open on these guys finally reaching new land where the next god begins.

I nominate Leslie Mann from George of the Jungle for #3 Ursula.

Are the Tankies in the room with you right now?

Accepting Israel's right to exist is to support settler colonialism. Israel does not exist without the murder and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

Strawman shit. Genocide is never OK and a leftist would never uphold Putin.

"Tankie" is absolutely the chronically online moderate Democrat's version of woke.

Damn. I had no idea the opposite of endorsing genocide was totalitarianism. Seems obvious now that you've pointed that out, thank you.

That poster art is at least a pretty sick classic movie throwback.

That's the feature I'm hoping for. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the constant record feature works, but I really only want to keep maybe the last 5-10 minutes in temp storage, but it's holding way longer than that for me.

All the WW2 movies and nobody in Hollywood thought to produce a shark-themed survival horror true story?

Definitely waiting for the Miyoo A30 to get Onion.

Psychonauts 2. Was a huge fan of the original on PS2 and I can't believe it's taken me years to try the sequel. The animation, level design, and writing are all at the level of quality and creativity that I wanted to see videogames progress to some day when I was a kid. This is a playable DreamWorks film.

Or just learn what liberals actually stand for. It all makes sense then.
