  • 'Let it Die' servers shutting down, but offering players a onetime purchase to keep it alive offline

    Jump

  • Offline mode is nice, but for a game with core online features they really ought to release a dedicated server.

  • Tips on dissecting vibe code

    Jump

  • I guess despite how intimidating it seems, un-fucking vibe code can be approached just like every other complex programming problem: by breaking it down into smaller problems and solving them incrementally.

  • [LotF] Not sure there's much to salvage here

    Jump

  • I sadly couldn't play LotF14 because the camera does this weird nauseating wobbly animation when you move around. I have to assume this was the fault of someone at CI Games, because LotF23 and both of the Surge games don't have this issue.

    Anyway, I don't really get why LotF23 gets so much hate. It's a baseline competent soulsborne-like with good combat, a fair amount of build variety with some neat options, tons of QoL, and no major issues. It's a solid 7.5/10 and its only real crime IMO is how painfully unoriginal it is in tone and setting. I actually enjoyed it slightly more than Lies of P (probably mainly because of the increased build variety, because I'm a sucker for that). It's great and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

    The CEO is still a turd, but he wouldn't be a CEO otherwise. 🤷

  • ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront

    Jump

  • For anybody saying "it's not a problem, just moderate it yourself"

    I'm of the opposite opinion. It's a much bigger problem than just Steam community moderation and it needs to be addressed more broadly. (Monkey's paw curls)

  • This. It's not a problem, it's a niche.

    10 GREAT GAMES YOU MISSED IN 2025 (Strategy, Tactics, Simulation, Management)

  • I generally like content that highlights small indie releases, I'm just a little put off by the way it's presented here. It feels contradictory to the community description in the sidebar.

  • I tried AI, was impressed by it, and it's embarrassing; Need advice

    Jump

  • It sounds to me like you have two viable options:

    1. Accept that your role at the company is now "prompt 'engineer'" and do your best to optimise your workflow for quick turnaround, since the business is prioritising speed. If you want to do programming, start a personal project.

      Optionally, you can think about how to frame the issues with code quality in terms of financial risk to leadership--but be prepared for them to continue not giving a shit (and maybe start viewing you as "not a team player").
    2. Find a new job.

  • Nope, you have to run around to one of the lower level entrances after the fog wall appears.

  • The disapproves are probably people thinking it's a troll message because you can't enter that way after you've triggered the fight once.

    Anyway, my most rated message is "tree" in front of a tree.

  • Marathon | Launch Gameplay Trailer

  • This breaks my heart. The Marathon trilogy had such a cool setting and atmosphere. What the hell is this.

  • This may help explain why some devs I talk to think LLM code assistants are amazing, while others find them only situationally useful at best.
