Steam being a pseudo monopoly is complicated. It's obviously got downsides, but the AI disclosure requirement makes it so realistically everything releasing on PC has to disclose or risk getting banned right off the PC platform forever and it's the only way we'd find out about some of this shit.

The issue a lot of larger developers have run into is that their worlds and game mechanics aren't compelling enough to explore, so if players in those games hit a roadblock they're just going to put the game down.
(though I wish they'd just design more interesting and robust games instead)

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Someone during the steam launch reached out to inform me that SE was extremely unhappy with the games release on Epic and was in fact fully treating the steam release as the games full release on PC and ignoring the former releases.
Kingdom hearts was only on epic for years and it basically didn't exist to me until it came to steam

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

This game's gonna break my brain with how much sauce it has. Unsighted already kinda blew my mind with the amount of sequence breakey traversal stuff you could do.

Fuck me, they really did turn Metroid 4 into a fucking Marvel movie www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...
Superhero movies are a fucking plague, they destroyed an entire generation of media- yes the first few waaaay back in the 10's were kinda fun, but they weren't worth... This.

While I'm thinking about Nightreign - I'm still shocked they appear to have added 2 new spellcasters.
I barely dove into the game and I really need to find time get back into it.

It would be pretty wild if the Dualliste boss from Expedition 33 ended up in ER Nightreign as part of a collab between From and Sandfall.

The absolute confusion when you finally get around to checking out whatever the "Baguette Trailer" was for #Expedition33 and don't notice this before the narration starts:
