The only time steam chart posting is good is to celebrate a game succeeding.
Optimism is not and has never been a component of punk aesthetics. This is ahistorical nonsense perpetuated by theater kids desperate to feel cool.
Doc Vivi Leandra【 VTC 】- Real-Life Scientist VTuber 🧬🖥️@docvivileandra.bsky.social · 2mo agoSaw someone post an essay on reddit about how "solarpunk" is more punk than cyberpunk because it's daring to imagine a better future and like Okay, but try imagining a better future that's not "Thomas Kinkade painting with solar panels"
The thing is that it's never suggested as a way to protest the decisions made by these companies, but rather it is brought up as a smarmy, defeatist sentiment of "well everything sucks now, might as well only play new shit". It always has an elitist "new bad old good" undertone to it.
Saw a few oomfs talk about it, and I agree with the take that it's weird as hell actually that the immediate reaction to bad news in the gaming space is just "play older games", as if the only reason to engage with older games is the state of the modern industry rather than the quality of old games.
you are morally obligated to buy muramasa on PC so vanillaware puts their other shit there and stops almost dying every game
Given the state of things, if you want to protect your own free expression and that of people you actually care about you are straight up gonna have to defend shit that deeply morally offends you, grosses you out, or even possibly induces trauma depending on your life experiences.
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
Amazing vending machine found while wandering around Shibuya Station.
New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content. AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.
Okay, so like, as someone who has played Capcom's Dungeons and Dragons beat em ups, Dragon's Crown, Fight n Rage, Double Dragon Gaiden, and Streets of Rage 4 including the Mr. X DLC, Absolum isn't as groundbreaking and revolutionary as many people talked it up to be, but it's every bit as stellar.
