I never understood why people think Chrono Trigger is so great. I liked it, but didn't find it that much better than most of the other RPGs of the time. It and Chrono Cross are about equal in quality, IMO.

Also coming to PS, xbox, steam, supposedly https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/chrono-cross-the-radical-dreamers-edition-switch/

Speaking of Crusader Kings, I made the terrible mistake of taking off Steam's adult content block, and was recommended a game called "Sex with Stalin", because apparently it was similar to Crusader Kings III. Well, yeah, I guess, in a sense.

Shopping spree. Got worried MS was going to buy everyone.

Another game for the pixel fetishists.

The China sales started on Steam. A bunch of anime games I had on my wishlist had lower prices than on Christmas, so I bought them... I guess the Chinese are big on buying them on steam.

They are quite different, PF exists for PnP, while PoE exists for the story of the computer games. I wouldn't say that's the main difference of the two games though, PoE is more easy to learn, while Kingmaker is like D&D lets use all the books hell.

At some point the ministry of justice antitrust people are going to say no.

A survival game by Blizzard is probably about trying to be a female game developer.

It's an announcement of unannouncement.

With the **** ActiBlizzard is in at the moment and Microsoft's track record with gaming companies, I have a hard time seeing how this could make it worse for them. Or fans of their IPs.

I like the idea of america being a colony, but zombies, bleh. Too many zombie games.

Have you played Pathfinder: Kingmaker? It has a way more annoying timer, IMO.

Looks like they copied the visual style of the monsters from Parasyte.

Apparently this thing got a release date, 11.11.22: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1716740/Starfield/ Wonder how it'll turn out.

I read negative ones on steam for games I'm uncertain about, to see if they actually have any information. Most of the time they don't, but sometimes they do.

The steam review system in general is very faulty, as people use it more of as a general feedback feature rather than as reviews as whole games. I've seen games drop to "mixed" because a recent DLC had a bug that wasn't fixed in a day. The bigger the fanbase, the smaller the problem people get annoyed about that can cause a game to drop in reviews. It might be a useful feature, but it's not really a review system, in the same way the word is understood everywhere else.

"Mutually agreed" means he was being problematic, and they had to fire him.

Steam autumn sales. Wasteland 3 is 12€.
