It lists several subsidiary offices, including Russian, Armenian, Swedish, British, Belorussian, and Portuguese branches. It’s still headquartered in the United States.

Source? According to Wikipedia they’re American.

JC’s story was finished, Jensen’s wasn’t.

Firefox has my very favourite vertical tab system of any browser in the Tree Style Tab addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/

I’m not too sure how to simplify jumping between profiles though. I haven’t used it so I can’t vouch for it, but maybe the Profile Switcher addon would work for you? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profile-switcher/

Unsurprising. With how ubiquitous AI content is becoming, it was only a matter of time until the rules were relaxed.

Same publisher (New Blood), but not the same devs. Dusk is by David Szymanski, Ultrakill is by Hakita.

Take a look at Haunted PS1, the games they published or that are in their compilations are usually close to that era of visuals.

For individual games you have stuff like, Anodyne 2, Cavern of Dreams, Zortch, Worlds, Lunistice, Hypnagogia, and many more. Like someone else said, there are plenty of indie games imitating or taking inspiration from the graphics of the late 90s and early 2000s.

I don’t play AAA games (and haven’t played an ND game since Jak 3) so I don’t have a horse in the Naughty Dog race, but Druckmann’s take on “fun” was a valid one. A work of art can be engaging and emotionally impactful even if it isn’t “fun”, and sometimes evaluating a game based on whether testers are, in their own opinion, “having fun” is counterproductive. Is Papers, Please fun? Is Kentucky Route Zero? Is To The Moon? Hell, what would a tester say if you asked them if they were having fun after spending an hour with Disco Elysium?

Either way, you can hate the game and its plot, but to call TLOU2 shovelware is genuinely deranged. When’s the last time you played an actual shovelware release?

I’ve heard TLOU called many things, but shovelware is a new one.

Why does this quiz have so many fuckin distributions? If a newbie is looking for a distro to install, why would you ever recommend anything more niche than Ubuntu/Mint, or Endeavour if they’re interested in bleeding edge? I answered the questions as though I was new to Linux and got a massive list of every Ubuntu and Fedora derivative, with Manjaro sprinkled in for good measure.

It’s been done quite a bit throughout Eastern Europe. Here are some examples from Poland:

Certainly a nicer colour scheme than dirty soul-crushing grey.

I suppose I’d prefer if short games weren’t overly expensive, but I never liked the hours per dollar thing. I don’t like replaying games. I’d rather buy six two-hour indie games for ten dollars each and have each one be at least somewhat unique and engaging, than spend 60 on a sprawling hundred hour AAA game filled mostly with repetition and busywork. Life’s too short for that, you know?

What! You can’t say that!

The article actually addresses this, but I feel “indie games bubble” is simply too broad a term. Is there a medium-high budget indie game bubble? Maybe. But can indie games in general even have a bubble? Fuckloads of indie games are passion projects, or made from crowdfunding money, or otherwise not based around the idea that they have to be the “product” of a sustainable business, making the whole idea of a “bubble” pointless. If the bubble pops, will itch indies stop making games? Will passionate solo devs languishing at double digit Steam review numbers stop releasing games? I don’t think they will.

Steam Discovery/New Releases Queue! I’ve found a tonne of cool games, both old and new and popular and niche, just by flicking through the queues when I wanted something new to play.

I feel like I’ve heard this “it’s different this time guys, we swear” spiel about every Ubisoft game in the past five years. Hard to believe or care at this point.

A person said they’re looking for a podcast that’s not right wing, you told them that what they want is bad, and then you were surprised to see people react negatively? I’m not going to trawl through your comments to find the exchange, but based on your own description it’s pretty clear why they felt antagonised…
