    Hytale

    It's a scale that's sometimes even hard to really grok. And it seems to be sticking around through the generations and every child grows up playing it so I don't really see it going anywhere. If Hytale can grab even 1% of that base they'll be rich.

    Hytale

    Minecraft is closing in on 400 MILLION lifetime sales. This game is basically Minecraft 2, made by the largest player in the existing Minecraft hosting/custom/mod space and has been floating around in development for like 10 years now. The available pool of players for this game is in another...

    Arc Raiders

    I play pretty sweaty PVP and the game was nearly unplayable in my lobbies for the last 5 days or so. Every single lobby is people with an inventory full of trigger grenades just spamming them like rocket launchers, so them getting changed means I can probably actually play again. No mentioned...

    Hytale

    No it's not. Monsters and Memories is basically a hobbyist/fan project. The Hypixel dudes are a billion dollar business that serves the largest segment of gaming to ever exist in history (Minecraft). They operate at a scale and with a fanbase that means they don't need Steam, and even if you...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    Bought this randomly cause I was bored and it's actually insanely good? It's very similar to the old DnD arcade cabinets, but with a bunch of roguelite random elements thrown in. And holy shit I got ambushed by Mick Gordon music on one of the boss fights and it's so goddamn good

    Arc Raiders

    I have 22 matriarch cores and no wolfpack blueprint. How the fuck do people find blueprints in this game lol

    Path of Exile 2

    HC is not really playable in this game. I don't think any of the HC brand PoE streamers play HC in PoE2. If you really must slam your dick in that particular door you play CI and fill in the damage however you want to.

    Arc Raiders

    My 3-man all found aphelion blueprints in the same stella run one night. They absolutely have some kind of RNG problem, or maybe it's on purpose to seed certain maps with certain blueprints, who knows.

    Pluribus

    I can't actually decide if they wrote this as a like, self-insertion fantasy for shitty liberal wine aunts that never got married, or if it's a deliberate pisstake on how insufferable those people are. That's probably a good thing though? Because if it were too obviously either of those things...

    Arc Raiders

    I think my one lingering complaint is blueprints and the nature of static loot spawns still. This was an issue in Tarkov as well, and persists here sadly. They made a pretty good stab at fixing it with randomizing the secure lockers, but they need to do more. The current meta of spawn naked + 5...

    Path of Exile 2

    Campaign resets to farm a particular mechanic has been a core strategy of PoE since the very beginning. Just because this particular instance of it was too powerful doesn't mean it's suddenly a bannable exploit. You can still use the exact same tech to farm infinite abysses or whatever in the...

    Pluribus

    This may have been the most honest and believable female protagonist I've ever seen in a piece of media Legitimately difficult to watch at times, so kudos to them for that I suppose

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    While this is bullshit rumor mongering, a price hike is definitely coming. The current shortage in the DDR5 space is not something that will be solved any time soon. We're in for a solid 2-3 years minimum of absolute unavailability of parts. I'm not even sure we're going to see any kind of...
