games

oh, I remember this one

gj

don't talk to spooky about dota, you'll pull him back in

Aw

Having not read it 1) GOG makes no money, and CDProjekt is done trying to prop up a Steam alternative 2) They still value game preservation, but this gives them the needed separation to not make it their problem, and push that work back out to the devs and community (where it belongs)

Now to see how close I was

yep, pretty much that

I actually wish they'd rename their preservation effort so we got something like GOG: Store GOG: Game Preservation & Publishing

Because that 2nd part is the only thing people really care about at this point, the whole DRM free store has kind of been pointless for a decade+, ever since Steam opted to not make Steamworks DRM intrusive at all after initial fears

the only games i have on GoG are games i got from free codes off of Twitch prime

I think GoG is pretty good, they usually add QoL/Improvement mods in the folder that youd probably want anyways. They did with the Their series

My guess is was more of the co-founders autism pet project than CD PROJEKT's as well

Steam dropped their 2025 tiers

Pretty much any other notable game is in the 50-100 block after this

glad we made it

How the fuck is civ 7 one of the top 12 selling games on steam this year?

I think this is profit?

People bought civ on the name, and were burned

BO7 not making top 12 is kinda funny

I like the games that sold big because europeans and black people exist

Here's the other crazy stat

Hades 2 isn't in the top 100

*based on revenue in 2025

I have heard very few even talk about that game, not shocking to me at all

I predicted wrong, I thought after the massive success of the 1st game that the 2nd would do similar, and while a little of that is for sure due to their EA launch and all

not being top 100 is wild to me

Polu's Mage Arena is in the top 100

random EA sports game in the top 12

baffles me how well those games do

also kinda surprised AC shadows is gold and not like, silver

Rawb should play dota 2 next year

Ive been told Justin is playing because Norther Lion has been saying they should do a Dota arc

@taxes want to stream-snipe Justin in Dota?

can I join

no chance we get in

literally playin dota right now

@Spooky Phijkchu do you play dota with voices on

i cant stand ts

You mean character voices?

ye

Yeah of course, I love their autistic lines

I do too

i cant

after like 500 hours

what heroes do you play spooky

it starts to melt my brain

It melts my brain too

That's what I love

Hearing Wisp beep boop

Hearing Puck say "I am Puck" every time he respawns

I listen to the character voices for their personalities

and Io is full of it

Skywrath Mage is my favorite I think

His autism is peak dota

I think my favorite hero so far is ogre magi just on principle

I appreciate a simple yet effective build

where i click all my spells on the enemy carry at aether lens range and then they explode

yeah SM is peak

I played mid, jungle, or offlane And I usually just randomed, though I think Enigma was my favorite in the end

Most of my favorite heroes got nerfed into irrelevancy at points, or at least my playstyle would (Chen, Lycan, Brood, ES, other ES etc.)

Puck was probably my favorite, in patches where he could counterplay really fun in mid

I haven't tried very many yet but after ogre magi I like witch doctor and shadow shaman

Other than Puck and Enigma NS, DK, PA, LC, TB, Ogre Magi, Skywrath, Batrider

ooh I wanted to try batrider

But I really did random in maybe 80% of games

he seems fun

bat is borderline OP at low MMR, because people don't understand how sticky napalm works

I gotta participate in our async soon but after that I'm down to play if you want to

you can get first blood at level 2 every game with brown boots and 3-4 stacks of your q

I'm not playing dota lol

oh i see

I lost 52 to 11 after I randomed shadow fiend and got forced into a support role
