I got quite a kick out of Project1999, thought I never got into the raid scene there. I'm continually impressed by those Youtubers who play solo Enchanters on P99 at level 60 and take out raid bosses by themselves using charmed mobs.
As for Live, I'm glad it's still trucking along, though for me I have no interest in playing anymore. Our guild hung up our hats in 2010, geez, 14 years ago, and I still think about my guild friends. GG.

Chris notes: "In a marathon, they say the last mile is the hardest," though it's hard to see how the project is in its last mile based it it's not even in beta yet

That's a third degree burn there, Blue. Will we even see S42 out by 2030? At this rate, doesn't seem likely.

Thanks, this will go nicely with my Steam Deck (when I get around to ever playing it).
TBF #1: this prevents me from ever buying this on Steam; TBF #2: I was never going to buy this in the first place

CliffyB desperately trying to cling to his past relevance in an industry he previously had said he was retiring from. Maybe Cliff could score some brownie points by creating new UT99 deathmatch maps. If John Romero can release quality Doom map packs (and even make a bit of money doing it) surely CliffyB could do the same...

Todd is still a brilliant ideas-man but his games could benefit strongly from newer directing ideas. As for Fallout 5, prepare for Fallout 4 but prettier, with the same underlying jank as all the other Gamebryo games. It's not even charming jank like Elden Ring's NPCs not having synced lips during dialogue (their mouths just move up and down until the voice clip ends), it's weirdly scary jank like NPCs staring at you lock-headed.
After seeing Starfield, I mean what a mess.. and Fallout 4 was so very meh. Fallout 5 seems like it's going to be incredibly underwhelming when we get it in what, like, 2029?

It's well worth getting on the PC, at least for me Modding is a huge benefit.
When I get the HFW will probably have more to do with how they price it because the reviews seem pretty good.
Did HZD have a good modding community?

Very interesting: Sony was not interested in EGS exclusivity. Maybe Epic didn't extend Sony an offer for that...

What are you guys smoking? There's nothing low-effort about this remaster, but I do agree the price is too high for me, having bought SW Dark Forces on GOG for like $3 on a recent sale. I'll load that into the engine update on Flatpak and have some fun. No need for spending $40 thanks.
Nightdive has done well. I really enjoyed their Quake and Quake 2 remasters they released, especially their new Q2 episode. Wish they'd do Duke Nukem 3D...
Also, they have remastered more games than I knew about. They did Tex Murphy apparently?

Stardew is one of those games, like FTL, where I find the base game so perfect that I can barely find any mods I think worth installing (I made an exception for Ginger, a new cat NPC). Meanwhile FF7R, Witcher 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4, CP77 all get heavily and repeatedly modded.
My original save from back in 2016 is still going, and I have yet to complete the community center (1 summer fish away), and then Ginger Island will require unlocking...
What a game, lads.

On the surface I cannot believe I support the asshats in the movie biz but it’s the internet, media should be tax free.

But again I only understand the surface level of this topic. I could be completely wrong to support those blood sucking executives…
WHY should it be tax-free, though?

"GENEVA -- Since late last century and the early days of the web, providers of digital media like Netflix and Spotify have had a free pass when it comes to international taxes on films, video games and music that are shipped across borders through the internet."

This reads like in the nascent days of internet commerce, before movies and music were being digitally traded on global platforms, there was no rule in place to tax those sales when it crossed borders. Sales of digital media hadn't taken off yet, so there was nothing to tax. Now here we are in 2024 and these industries enjoy international-tax-free operations. The industry associations of course claim the end of the damned world if we change the rules:

A collapse would deal a “major blow to the credibility and durability" of the WTO and would mark the first time that its members "changed the rules to make it substantially harder to conduct trade,” wrote the group.

Perhaps the concern among nations voting to end the moratorium are concerned about companies like Netflix basing itself in Ireland and selling digital services to citizens of countries around the world where that nation collects no tax on those sales. Ireland collects some tiny portion of corporate income taxes, but that's it. In Canada, we don't pay tax on Netflix subscriptions, it simply is not collected on the invoice. However let's think: streaming services are continuing to take over as the preferred model for media consumption, and so Microsoft Gamepass, Spotify, Netflix, Apple Music, Amazon Audible, and many others enjoy not collecting and remitting taxes on those sales of their subscription goods. Prices are kept marginally lower - in BC Canada it would be 12% of the fee, so if Netflix is $14.99 it's $1.79 in tax or $21 per year. That's tax revenue that's just left on the table, and these streaming services are loving it: they don't collect tax, but Valve does collect tax in my part of Canada. There is a long-standing policy difference here, and maybe we should think about changing it. I'd be supportive because we always need more tax revenues to provision much-needed government services.

They could do us a favor and give away those EGS exclusives, like Tchia. Better do it quick before it releases on Steam and I give my money to Valve instead, Timmy.

Don't really care about getting free games so never bothered claiming any of them.
I started last year when they gave away Horizon Chase Turbo, which is great for my steam deck. Then they gave away Death Stranding shortly after, then Severed Steel, then The Evil Within 2, then GotG and Ghostwire Tokyo, among others. The strategy is clear: comp users a license on EGS so that they don't give Valve 30% for a Steam license of the game later on.

Knowing how American cheese is made doesn't mean it tastes any less than a science experiment gone wrong.
Once in a great while I'll make a grilled cheese using Kraft Singles. Those grilled cheeses have a very different flavor to a normal one, and it's honestly not bad! And they're alright on top of a burger, too. Other applications though.. youtuber Adam Ragusea swears by his grandma's mac n cheese recipe where he uses a lot of kraft singles to make the cheesy sauce, there are compounds in those slices that create a very smooth velvety cheese sauce, much smoother than you can get with a traditional roux and grated cheese mix.

The guy seems apologetic enough to me and he seems to have learned his lesson. Staying the ridiculous fine and letting him live out his life would be a good move here. The guy isn't going to earn much money in the remainder of his life, so he'll maybe make another $10k-50k in payments in the next 20 years, against a balance of $14M?
