How someone looks at you when you ask them to play a game they loved for a decade

"My favorite game" "Never played it"

Its always the people who aren't fucking disabled using disability as a gotcha point

BREAKING: Nangong Yu has managed to successfully run Doom (1993) on Aria.

Takashi Iizuka, head of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, says AAA studios could learn from indie developers. He explained that big-budget games are so expensive to make that major publishers often have to play it safe.“you really need to sell a lot of units in order to survive in the industry.” According to Iizuka, indie teams can come up with ideas and turn them into games very quickly. He said there’s a lot that bigger companies can learn from the indie development scene, adding that working with smaller teams is really stimulating because of how fast and creative they are. Iizuka also compared gaming to Hollywood, saying, “the movie industry is kind of going through similar issues that we in the game industry are going through.” he thinks indie games can help push the industry forward too.

If anyone genuinely thought it would stop with porn, they need to seriously sit down and ask why they fell for the the most basic Trojan Horse tactic.

It's funny that this whole discourse popped up just as I started playing Persona 5 for the first time. On a dying, beat to shit laptop that drops to like 10fps when I go to Shibuya.

I absolutely would've binned myself off were it not for my online friend group. I grew up in a place I did not fit in. Though more and more lately it feels like that's what they'd want anyway so!

It's incredible that so many of us grew up in a time and in countries where a single game could upwards of 20% of your parents' monthly wages, yet we still found ways of playing games. And not once have I ever seen this argument.

I was running emulators on my iPhone 4 when I was 12. The average low-end smartphone and pc can run PS1 and PS2 games with every console inbetween with no problems There are literal THOUSANDS of gems out there to play but you guys will find EVERY excuse to not play games

Wait, so the MPs largely voted against it and yet its still being implemented? The fuck is the point in voting at this point

Funny thing about Vavle I found recently. They're not listed as members of the ESA or Video Games Europe, the two groups lobbying against Stop Killing Games.

It's important to remind everyone that ID verification and social media bans are not to protect children, but another device in the government's arsenal to slowly control the population and move towards authoritarianism. Unless people actually start protesting against this, nothing will change. For a politician, the primary goal is to stay in power and make money. Tracking people online is a great help in achieving that. Crying "it's for the kids" will not help when every device nowadays comes with parental control tools which are better and better every day. Plus, parents are the ones that should decide how their kid should be raised, not the government. From the Computer Science point - it's simply impossible for an ID verification system to have all three at once: - anonymity: Site doesn't know who you are, government can't trace back your account to your name. - non-linkability: Your visit on Site A cannot be linked to your visit on Site B - non-shareability: You can't post some "token" everyone can copy and use to pretend to be an adult A working system for anonymous age verification is simply impossible, mathematically. The solution? The damn parental control tools on every modern phone. Parents set up screen time limits, or app restrictions. Or, better yet, actually talk to your kid! Crazy, right? IDK about the UK, but for example in Poland, we literally have it written in the constitution, that parents are the ultimate authority over how they want to raise their kids. It's not the government's job to police what a kid can, and cannot access online, even more so when we move away from "actually illegal (gambling, for example)" to "idk man we (the govt) think its bad". Push for parents' awareness of parental control tools, the dangers of the internet, and make parents actually know how to parent their kids. After that, it's none of the govt's business. Unfortunately it seems that more and more countries are giving up those freedoms and falling for the boil-the-frog approach, and might realize far too late. The EU is my last bastion of hope at this point, and even that is... not excellent in this regard at the moment.

Lemme tell you something. EVERYONE has been a broke gamer at least once in their lives. You are grown saying this, you are not special LOL

I have officially downloaded 36 Evangelion games. God help me

Arcade racers are so back

It's truly abominable how quickly it went to "no it's just porn" to "everything in the centralised Internet is on lockdown until we are able to arrest everyone for memes"
