Isn't this a good thing because he's seperated from society or whatever? Did that argument ever have merit?

I don't think it has any merit.

We have people screaming the same but "opposite" argument saying "doom makes kids shoot up schools" every single time something bad happens, but we know that's bullshit now. People just seem to do what they do irl regardless of what they're doing in their games.

I play games with a large group on a Discord and the slow dawning of their binds (I think one guy's shooter movement binds were all in a row) has been mind blowing.

Mouse3 forward, z and x for strafing, space for doors/buttons and running backwards, shift for going fast, ctrl for jump, alt for crouch. Had this from doom1 days (hexen/quake2 added jump and crouch iirc) until mid 00s, when games like flashpoint started releasing and rebinding 3000 keys every reinstall was :effort:

UnitZ, the gift that keeps on giving.

I wonder how angry the guy who made that must be, he makes $30, game just ships his work and sells a couple hundred copies, gets thousands.

I don't know, it seems less like quality control and more like Steam's trying to cover their asses (sorry, couldn't think of a proper sex joke as it's late here).

Yeah, Steam is probably not the place to sell porn, but as you say, this is probably Valve covering their asses, rather than realising having porn on your storefront that's frequented by most kids with a computer is probably not a good idea.

It's like that GTA walmart thing, stores can and should decide whether not to sell that poo poo for whatever reason and you can adapt to that or sell your bad content in porn shops. I guess valve decided they want to peddle porn too now, and from seeing all the other terrible poo poo on their store (hi thread) they didn't care about their reputation anyway, though I have to admit this is a new low :shrug:

Maybe it's because I'm on the spectrum, but I cannot get past the last panel of this comic. Like, it's kind of predictable, the joke, but it's funny as it is...yet... what's with the last panel? It suggests that the other guys playing D&D with him beat the poo poo out of him? Like, enough to give him an eye so swollen that it's black and shut. That's not funny...that's just weird. A sudden, random act of violence. I don't get it.

It's like, a punchline by itself isn't funny unless also someone gets beat up.

It's called slapstick, and it owns, actually.

it's an indie 60 minute amine that's gonna sell like 100 copies, since likely most people that wanted got it on kickstarter.

i wouldn't even blame them selling it for 30 bucks, but what's with the not eligible for refund?

I was just trying to go for a terrible pun but, it's a series about a fleet being crewed by high school girls for a few days as a part of a practical exam or somesuch, it being a naval school. I've only seen one episode, so I can't comment if it's any good or not though.

Right that's the easy way. But "mining" a Bitcoin is just adding transactions to a bitcoin's block chain, right? So technically there's no reason a human couldn't do that instead of using a gpu; it'd just be way slower.

So could you make a game where the player did that? It's be as some kind of stupid art project, rather than being profitable, obviously. But I'm just amused by the idea of instead of sneaking a Bitcoin miner into a game, making a game where the players form a distributed biological miner.

This already exists, it's literally just capitalism :v:

Those are the kind of options you should pick in bioware games, because they end up being either the funniest or the most hosed up, both of which is often more entertaining than whatever the story is. :v:

Nudity has been ok on steam since like... I think mass effect had a couple scenes?

They just don't want to sell straight up porn anymore it seems. I imagine paypal started yelling at someone at valve.

it's not like hl3 could ever live up to people's expectations at this point so this is all probably for the best.

Many japanese visual novels have a "don't sell outside japan" thing so they don't have to deal with overseas support, geoip blocking is probably the same deal. I think pretty much all these 18+ japanese games on steam are sold by an mangagamer that licences and then translates and supports them.
