Estoy buscando comunidad mexicana de Battletech (un juego de mesa de los 80's de mechas, inspiró videojuegos como MechWarrior). Me ha costado trabajo porque a) no hay distribuidores en el país* y b) no estoy dispueste a hacerme un facebook. Manda DM si teinteresa o si te gustan los robots gigantes.

There's a growing number of games that have apparently fallen foul of Steam's 'No because we say so' rule that are still being happily sold on other major storefronts like GOG.

Also recently DreadXP-published game Vile was outright rejected by Steam too, despite containing *nothing* objectionable.
Vile Is Banned
Developer Statement: VILE: Exhumed is a game about searching through an old computer, uncovering dark secrets, and experiencing the horrors […]

Steam is a notorious black box. They have content-affecting policies that they do not list and will not tell developers. They do not have spokespeople or contacts for studios to interact with.

Steam is a rent-seeking machine. You put game in, it sells game, and 70% of the revenue comes back out.

(1/2) Me acabo de acordar de la vez en que alguien me confesó que le preguntó a un chatbot por su "opinión" de su relación amorosa, y que además pidió que le redactara mensajes de texto a esta persona en una discusión. Sé que leemos cosas más locas que eso luego en artículos, pero...

Que ahora está a 100 peso la edición deluxe. Lmao nice

Aprovecho para echarle porras a GOG porque los juegos que compras ahí de verdad son tuyos y puedes hacer con ellos lo que quieras. Pónlo en un USB y dáselo a alguien. No los estás tipo rentando y teniéndolos ligados a una cuenta como en Steam.
Hola! Quisiera avisar que está en descuento el videojuego de Battletech de Harebrained Schemes en GOG por 1 día más. Está a ~136 peso. www.gog.com/en/game/batt...

Es excelente introducción al universo, muy divertido, música super buena, y tiene una comunidad de modders muy robusta.

Excellent video. It's not just a story about games, but also about the people that make them and all the sorts of fucked up conditions they work under.
NEW VIDEO OUT!

I used to think that my feelings on games looking more unique when I was a kid was mostly nostalgia. Turns out I was just right all along. This is a video about that.
Yes, games really WERE cooler years ago

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Spent 10 hours capturing this beautiful planetary nebula over the weekend.
The Shrimp Nebula in Cassiopeia is 850 ly away.
It is best observed in October.

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

Hola 👋 Vengo a dejar un amable recordatorio de que no, no existe forma de “predecir” pensamientos, intenciones ni delitos. La “inteligencia artificial” (en el sentido de toma de decisiones algorítmica) es un desastre lleno de sesgos y todos estos “inventos” son fantasías autoritarias/futurismo facho
Ethicists tell Nature that AI-powered advances in technology will threaten the privacy and autonomy of people who use neurotechnology, like brain-computer interfaces. #Neuroskyence 🧪
Mind-reading devices can now predict preconscious thoughts: is it time to worry?
