games

we got first place but were disqualified because dan could not stop using grokette

Its true

The game awards has to realize this is literally only bad PR for them, no?

Its not the real game awards

to be clear

this is a shitter indie award showcase

oh gotcha, I don't pay attention to any of these things

"indie" doesn't even mean anything anymore

This is not even one we pay attention to

I just saw it on my timeline

anyone know why they made grokette so hot btw lol?

Elon musk is a weird gooner

well yeah but they didnt have to let her take her shoes off like that.

I miss when he was married to his ex wife and they had his and her oreimo pfps

how is a man supposed to keep his money in his wallet?

someone should let all these redditors know how much of modern technology benefits from numerical optimization methods and call it AI

Armpit access only on Super grok isnt fair

I've been trying everything in my power to get in contact with elon musk, including sending him hand written letters

He acts like he's "for the people" when really he's just a greedy billionaire who only gives the little guy scraps.

No, but that one is imo less indie than E33 is

it was "one guy"

but that "one guy" had a team of people working for him

and people talk as if it's a single dev project

I don't think a keyboard mouse game that still doesn't have key rebinding deserves anything

I've felt crazy since I played it and watched the credits

I genuinely don't know who is gaslighting everyone and why

these are the direct devs+cast, not including all the support studios and extra people brought in by Raw Fury

What's that quote from Warren Spector, creator of Deus Ex, about games being a team endeavor?

"games are a team endeavor" -creator of deus ex

Thanks for the gift Raccoons

I buy everyone my gifts on the 25th, I'll think about what to get you then

No promises when I get around to it, VNs are hard to sit down and play lmao

(I still have to play polu's 2023 gift and finish his 2024 gift)

(they are not vns, but still)

When you play a school VN pika, do you try to figure out which irl prof/student every character reminds you of?

Spooky, the only VNs I have played are nekopara, one other unrelated wasteland catgirl one, the russian one about kidnapping a girl we both played, and the loli train one you got me

so I cannot answer that

There you go @Raccoons

I told him to just suck it up and wait for Christmas

and told Rusp to suck it up and wait for a future indeterminate date after his birthday was already long over

lol

I tried to pick better games than last year for my Phijkchu Christmas gifts

I was doing good from like 2018-2021

Did you buy me the snake game last year or the year before

wait I can check that

That was 23

I liked that one

you're one of the only easy* ones Pika

I agree, some people it is hard to find shit that is not just a shitpost game

since you have a very common type which overlaps with what indie devs are capable of making

(you especially mr. fucking just buys everything)

I actually think shitpost games are the most fun, it's just hard at this point to find new shitpost games that aren't complete unworthy trash

Yeah

the year I decide to really phone it in I'm just buying everyone vbucks

just buy everyone the rat tavern sim that use generative ai graphics

I also think sales have been much worst these past few years, so its hard to get good games cheap (which I aim to do because on top of wanting to buy myself shit, I usually only have 50 bucks to work with)

I can respect that a lot of devs have sorta decided that steam sales devalue games and have capped their %discount to 50% off

but it means they'll just sit on my wishlist forever

(along with 99% of stuff)

Games have also just raised prices, a lot of games have record lows at 50% off that now cost more at 80% off

i dont even remember what it was but i remember declining a spooky gift

(none of the games I classically bough for under a dollar are ever under a dollar)

Toushin Gent

I'm pretty sure

one of you fucks declined your copy of TG

i never got sent that

I bought mine, gotta support Rusp

you sent me some weird russian thing that i just did not want

Dialga, you have to accept every single gift though

its the rule

yeah, I'm ok with people declining gifts

aside from Toushin Gent

i am not gonna accept something if i will never play it

except if you are gent, I am going to have to google the woke game list again to find a safe game to send him

I also think Steam should let you decline with a message

Can't relate

(I've played most of them)
