Not living in Canada anymore, but when I visit in June they won't get a cent from me.

Just teach them Python and the rest will work itself out.

Is there any ranking of 'most pirated game' tracked by leechers accross to top indexes?

I remember FIFA being the first thing everyone pirated when I lived in the dorms in University.

This is really sad to see -- I absolutely loved PD2 at release. It's some of the most fun co-op moments I've ever had in a game (maybe even the best).

I also played the beta and enjoyed the refined experience, but have still been working through BG3 and Starfield, so I decided to hold off on playing. Was hoping for a smooth release for everyone excited to play the game, so it's disappointing to see how terrible the experience has been at launch.

I would upgrade for a slightly smaller, more battery efficient Steamdeck with an OLED screen. I know that's a lot to ask for, but definitely performance is the least of my concerns.

I would guess also a lot of XBOX players download the game on gamepass, and then never open it - since the there isn't any achievement unlocked prior to the one you get for reaching space, I wonder if there is any other way to tell.

I mean, at least use someone elses children.

Maybe eventually, but TES has 5 main title games, an MMO and a mobile game. It will take more than one release for Starfield to prove iteself.

I hope they continue to expand on the gore systems in the game. I know that doesn't keep a game fresh for 10s of hours, but I do appreciate how they lean into the carnage factor. Reminds me of Soldier Of Fortune 1+2 in the sense.

The downtown strip of the town I grew up in (about 2hrs from Toronto) is a ghost town. I doubt retailers want to risk starting a lease on a commercial property when in many situations, brick&mortar isn't much of an asset.

Probably doesn't need to be said at this point, but HL2 has such a timeless look that even the original graphics still look great to me.

Perhaps that makes it a great candidate for technology like this, as the underlying assets are fantastic.

As someone who is terrible at turn based CRPGs, I've found the explorer mode to be just perfect for me. I hit a skillwall imediately after fort joy in DOS2 on the easiest setting, so I was really pleasantly surprised.

 

This bundle will warp you to the kookiest sectors of the cosmos with titles like High on Life, Journey to the Savage Planet, The Outer Worlds, and more!

 

I started a new DOS2 character while I was waiting for the full release of BG3, and it helped me remember how much I love CRPGs (it's the only one I've played aside from BG1 when I was a kid).

The narrator was something that really stuck with me, as you didn't always see detailed actions of your party and NPCs during dialogue, so you had to use your imagination based on the narration.

Having now started BG3 with it's fully cutscened conversations and interactions, it really feels like an evolution. They are so well captured and acted that it makes the game feel so much more engrossing.

 

In case you need any more help getting pumped throughout the day.
