  • A kid committed suicide, allegedly over it. (Disclaimer: I haven't read the article or played the game.)
  • Bovarian Mammarian
    "My kid committed suicide because of a video game" is the "My kid committed suicide because of a heavy metal song" of the new millennium
  • More like D&D than heavy metal, surely.
  • Bovarian Mammarian
    Possibly, but I was thinking of this
  • Bovarian Mammarian
    at any rate, gotta blame something

    Hey @Stormtroper you're in Venezuela right? What currency and prices do you get for these two games?

    Azure Striker Gunvolt: $4.49 USD (70% discount)
    Endica VII The Dream King: $0.49 USD (90% discount)

    Why?

    Why?
    Well, this Steam friend who tried to gift me those two games wasn't lying, then.

    Those are the same prices as the U.S. region, and the same currency.

    The gifts were successfully purchased and delivered, only to have Steam refuse to add them to my Steam library due to region restrictions.

    This proves that even with a 0% price difference there can be region restrictions on Steam that prevent gifting. This is annoying and disappointing, of course.



    Meanwhile, Humble Store is having a DRM-free sale.

  • That sounds like an extremely easy way to spend money on something on something you didn't want.

    ?
  • That it seems easily possible to buy something with the purpose of gifting it to somebody else, and then it turns out that that person can't receive it, so you're stuck with a game you paid for but didn't want.

    The other person is basically forced to decline the gift, which causes the gift to disappear and the money to be refunded to the gifter's source of payment, as I understand it.

    You can't stock gift copies as inventory items anymore.
  • Ahh, that sounds better, then.

    Oh hey, another Mega Man 2 romhack, let's check it out.

    tool-assisted playthrough; not translated

    not sure if tool-assisted playthrough; translated, audio partially muted

    ...what the fuck did i just watch

    > Mary Skelter: Nightmares released on GOG
    > developed/published by Idea Factory/Compile Heart
    > fairy tale references all over the place
    > reminds me of A Witch's Tale
    > hmm, seems interesting

    > all the playable characters are girls except one guy who can't fight but has a role in battle
    > something about character relationships
    > the dungeons have a "libido"

    damnit IF/CH; that was so promising
  • There is love everywhere, I already know
    I can't believe you assumed Compile Heart would release anything other that their next attempt at "Best Ecchi Game of the Decade".

    Meanwhile the next Digimon game appears to have a death game plot?

    > new Steam user interface!

    good: friends list docking with chat window
    good: after searching for a friend, the search doesn't go away when you click away
    bad: friends list starts with showing what your friends are playing, if multiple friends are all playing one game
    bad(?): seems not possible to go offline entirely, only invisible
    bad: new layout breaks steam skins
    good: /me command reenabled, along with a few other useful things
    bad: /giphy command, so you can spam your friends with cheap internet memes
    bad: images/videos/steam link previews are embedded, no option to disable this
    possibly bad: defaults to showing only friend nicknames, rather than their display names followed by nicknames
    bad: friends list categories open more slowly
    mixed: chat lines don't retain your color for when you were in/not in game, but now they all change color, even your old ones
    good: Steam client window no longer shows your login name

    overall impression: mild improvement
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    UE is gonna be streaming soon, Super Metroid full rando: http://vbprog.zonexus.net/stream

    Maaan, I played the [expletive] out of that back in the day. It showed that it was a low-budget game, even at the time it seemed underwhelming, but boy it was fun.
