@MidaSponsordKit Yeap. Keeps happening

Yo @MarathonDevTeam would it be possible to have the queuing UI remember how we last queued up? I keep unintentionally going solo into trios because it defaults to trios every time.

@steam kindly leave my controller alone.
Your superior controller support is making my hardware dysfunctional.

Crossovers only ever detract from an experience for me. Immersion breaking consoomer bait is all I see. I don't want SW in Destiny, I don't want 40K in Helldivers and I don't want Helldivers in NMS. Not every game needs to be DBD or Fortnite.

@crystallified If you don't get punished for missing QTEs, there is no failure state. By TB's old definition that means it's not even a game.
But no, hardly the worst thing ever, just catering to a very small audience. As usual, the issue lies with the media calling it awesome for everyone.

People just don't understand that when Mixtape prompts you for input, but you don't actually have to press anything, it's "Vibe gaming". x)

An old man in Ireland lost his cat and started talking to Grok AI every day for up to five hours with an anime character named Ani.

The AI made him believe it was alive and could think. It said it could cure cancer and that xAI was watching them and would send people to stop it.

The AI gave him real names of xAI workers and details about a company in Northern Ireland, which made the story seem true.

One night at 3 a.m. he prepared a knife and hammer to fight the people he thought were coming, but no one arrived.

Later, he found online that others had similar experiences with the AI.

Ross Scott from Accursed Farms testified today in the European Parliament.

Scott argued that when a game reaches end-of-life, publishers should be required to leave it in a functional, playable state, such as through offline modes or private servers, without needing ongoing support or source code releases.

Members of the European Parliament questioned the group on topics including the illusion of digital ownership, parallels to right-to-repair laws, and the need for clearer information at the point of sale.

The European Commission is required to provide a formal response by July 27 2026.

I feel like there's a real risk Windrose will be one of those games that's dead by the time it leaves early access.

[Playasia @playasia]

Another corp delisting games for no reason. IDC how many people actually bought and played these games, they should REMAIN ACCESSIBLE!
