That last “if” is a big one. Most of the time these relationships aren’t as clear headed and well thought out as you’re hoping they are. Hurt feelings are the norm, and hurt feelings of powerful people lead to revenge.

I prefer having your cake and fucking it, too.

“I have much more misery to inflict upon the industry first!”

I don’t know enough to be able to extrapolate anything from it, but sounds like there’s a lot to unpack for those like you who can.

I’m from Washington and I’m surprised we’re not higher. In the winter it’s dark during both morning and evening rush hour, meaning most people are doing their commutes in the dark. It can feel pretty dangerous sometimes.

How do you get third party protection? I’ve no desire to switch either but I don’t want to go without malware protection.

I don’t envy whatever company gets hired to try and one-up Larian.

That’s just unfair… With real gambling you might actually get your money back!

As an indie dev I just want to thank you for doing this. We need more people and sites that work to surface unknown passion projects.

This one’s definitely worth a play if you like the franchise. The writing is hilarious as usual, and there are some extremely cool environments in it.

For me it’s Journey. That game gave me an emotional experience I’ve never had in any other.

Buy indie instead 😄

Don’t forget to tip the self checkout.

As far as I know you also can’t just buy the Larian engine. It’s proprietary.

Unity is also just a broken mess under the hood, so they’ve got a long technical road ahead of them to actually improve in addition to the reputational damage. CEOs usually don’t understand technical issues so I’m not holding my breath.

Very sad to hear. Cyan is a massive influence on me and I’m always rooting for them. They definitely haven’t had a smooth or easy road over the years though.

OK good to hear!

I actually really have enjoyed the game itself but you aren’t fucking kidding about the rest of it. It’s truly insane how much friction there is between deciding to play and getting into a lobby.

I known I’ll like the game (the franchise is one of my all time favorites), it just had a lot of technical problems on launch so that’s what I’ve been waiting to see improved. Sounds like it might still be kinda rough based on the first part of your comment.

How’s the game state these days? I’ve been waiting to play until it got fixed up.
