Ok, here I go: I will finally hit the gym, find someone to love, get a better job, learn to play an instrument, become a more patient and confident person, read the books I’ve bought, play the games I’ve bought, learn a new language, spend more time with people I care about, try LSD, start a master’s degree and do something about my receding hairline. Good luck, future me.

Were they? Last year they had Mario and Zelda and the year before they had Elden Ring. This year doesn’t feel particularly strong.

I, for one, welcome our new Iberian overlords

The thing is, there’s just so much stuff on Steam that even if you only care about the crème de la crème (hell, even if you only care about a specific genre), you’ll still find yourself with a wishlist longer than you’ll possibly have the time to play. I often go “ZOMG! STEAM SALE!!!” so in my case it’s slowly becoming a backlog but I do intend to play everything I buy.

Huh, I thought this would be about a new device. I guess Anbernic’s release schedule has spoiled me.

It was, indeed. The group has grown a lot since then but the original name has stuck.

That doesn’t mean much. Iran and Saudi Arabia also are in it and they hate each other.

And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.

My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

They opened up a genre of gaming to people that would have never even considered it.

Can confirm, that was my case. Before this game the closest thing to a turn-based CRPG I had played was KOTOR, now I’ve already purchased DOS:2 and I’m looking forward to Larian’s next title.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.

Why not? It’s not like Huawei can just use Android so I doubt they’ll pull the plug on this system anytime soon.

It’s about time we got a major third player in the mobile OS space. Godspeed to Huawei, may they succeed where Microsoft failed.

The fact that there aren’t many alternatives likely means that making a Sims-like game isn’t as simple as it looks. That being said, there are a bunch of life sims under developement right now (probably because EA is doing a terrible job) such as Paralives, Inzoi and Alterlife.

Yeah, I doubt most people will go this route. VPNs cost money, Twitter alternatives are free.

Yt-dlp. It’s basically the only way I download music nowadays.

It’s in the fracking ship!!

Retro gaming gives you all of the joy of gaming without any of the drama and toxicity so it’s no wonder the community is so nice.

Interesting. I never finished The Witness but I got some solid 10h of entertainment out of it before I stopped having fun. I’d say it is a brilliantly well designed game that’s well worth the price if you are into puzzles.
