Warner Bros is trying way too hard at this multiverse thing.

They must be right that it's hard to be discovered because as a new quest 3 owner I don't find a lot, and what I find I can almost never get reliable reviews of.

I am not interested at all in the social aspect, so meta's horizon spam does annoy me a lot. To give you an idea, Splatoon and Mario Kart is basically the highest level of people interaction I can stand in my games, impersonal, mute, "wave quickly to random guys and just play some game".

Beyond that, I mostly want single player with replayability, not 10 minute experiences. I have quite a few rhythm games (this genre is well-represented at least). Other kinds of arcade-y stuff would be fine too.

I'd love more creative games, I have No Man's Sky and it's great, but building is not its forte. I've played flat Minecraft, a lot, at that point I'd like less cubes and pixels.

Dreams would be the thing I'd... dream of. I had it, on an old PS4. Unfortunately, it's dead and stuck on Sony platforms.

They did say that GOG didn't mean "Good Old Games" anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them...

They'd be crazy to stop that. As you said, it's one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.

Cool declaration of intent, and they definitely do a lot for tweaking and packaging old games so they're in a playable state.

But it's a bit amusing to see The Witcher in there. I mean, yeah, I certainly hope you're maintaining that one.

Isn't that the wreck of a port with botched controls, horribly misshapen characters and "enhanced" textures that misspelled environmental text everywhere? Occasionally completely missing jokes by doing so?

Was it supposed to be fixed in any way at some point?

It's probably made even more of a problem for the Normandy expedition because of the incentive to disconnect and play offline. Trying to find uncharted systems is a chore if you don't.

So let's say you just forgot to reconnect before creating your base, of course the game won't find any overlap.

The game should check overlapping again for upload, not just creation.

Checks out, the Pokémon universe was actually just Japan all that time.

Google Game Boy Light.

Looks cool, but I am a bit worried by them announcing exclusive preorder stuff and in app purchases already...

Is anyone familiar with that developer? What to expect?

Yeah, I've seen this done with aluminium.

Also mostly the plot of Ernest Cline's Armada, with a megaton of unsufferable 'tude and pointless 80's references sprinkled on it. Those references include "the last Starfighter", of course. It's terrible.

The podcast "372 pages we'll never get back" with Mike and Connor from MST3K/rifftrax did its second season on it. Kind of a book club with books they assume they're going to hate (mostly). First season was Ready Player One, from Cline too, so they chose this one next because they were astonished that Armada could be considered the bad one compared to RP1.

J'ai beau lire l'article, je vois pas ce que fout le mot "monomaniaque" dans la choucroute.

C'est en réponse à une question sur la proposition de services, donc ça veut peut-être dire que pour lui, un magasin est "maniaque" de juste vendre des trucs en rayon? Il explique absolument pas ce qu'il veut dire par là.

Les mots ont un sens, merde.
