STALKER 2 development put on hold, again, tho any reasonable person will agree it's for a very good reason. I wish them all the best and to get through this safely.
Tho I'm sure there'll be people really upset they won't get to play a game in the timeframe they wanted, the malingering gits.
I’m sure it will be a learning curve for quite a few fanatics people; hopefully one that doesn’t need to involve weedwackers or belt sanders.

Demo for 3D Kirby now available, yis!


It should serve as a handy low-stakes rebound for every time I rage quit Elden Ring due to losing many souls. Did try using Horizon Forbidden West for the same purpose but that game has kicked my ass with insta-kills far too many times to rely on.
Though every phrase in this kirby game seems designed specifically to be uttered alongside suggestive gifs...


"Mouthful mode?" "Ring mouth??" "Scissor lift mouth???" "Pipe mouth????"

Oh, but you just know there's dudes like that out there, possibly the same ones whose first reaction to the whole Activision-Blizzard affair was "But muh Diablo 4?"



I like the weedwhacker fellatio idea. I was going to suggest stuffing them in padded room to cool off, except it''s not so much padded as covered in running belt sanders.
Imagine being sent death threats by some entitled teenage twat nerd from the US whilst your own country is going through a literal military invasion by Russia. How precious they must seem in comparison.

And virtue signaling continues. You know, they could've easily donated their profit to help the effort and people of Ukraine. But no, stopping a bunch of gamers in Russia is totally gonna affect the war.
It's like I mentioned earlier with the news link about EA removing Russia from their sports games. The Russian government does not care, and it does nothing to help anyone. You got all of that sweet money, put it to actual good use.

This is an illusion. They are removing Russian teams from their games just so they can sell them back to Russia as Microtransactions later! Don't believe their propaganda it's a scam!

I am puzzled how denying the Witcher 3 to the Russian gamer population does shit to hurt either the Russian government or military.

Unless the Russians are developing Witcher technology, which they can only get from Poland.

So the moral of the story of Red Riding Hood was don't talk to strangers and don't be a "thot".

wha'ts any video game really going to do to them? It's just like every other "cause" these companies try to show solidarity on, it's bullshit and pointless.

Hoping they’re prepared security-wise for the inevitable backlash from that select group.

TWO POINTS! Well Horizon is fucking trash then. Bah throw it in the bin!

What's the point of this comparison? They are completely different games on totally different platform options.

Not much of a sale.

So? They're two completely different style of games. Last I checked, numbers are not the be all to end all in media criticism. Even if people foolishly want to believe or like to believe such bullshit.

This is the kind of bs I’ll never understand regarding hackers and how they could ever think they’re justified in doing this. They don’t know these people whose privacy they’re exploiting. It’s their livelihoods and families they’re fucking with at this point, and they need to get a reality check and to grow the fuck up or else they deserve the severest of repercussions.

I still prefer the EA approach to that of other companies which is to do nothing.

Just like Elon Musk sure could do more to help Ukraine, but I am not complaining since at least he is doing something, instead of the nothing of his billionaire colleague.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I find this all the more ironic on games being announced too early, because the Japanese had this problem more than the West did. Now it's halfway a reverse direction.

How the heck do you fuck up that badly?

I fart in your general direction!
When the leader of your company is a racist and sexual harassing and child, anything is possible. This is nothing more than sweet karma catching up, and Disney are all the more foolish for hiring this company to do a Star Wars game. When we said branch out, we didn't mean to to a game company that's had nothing but bad stories and a majority of the games. Nor did we say we suggest you team up with a racist and sexist jackass.
