How Embracer's cuts killed a potential Red Faction sequel and gutted a promising studio.
  • Agreed. I enjoyed red faction guerrilla for the destruction but the open world always felt kind of empty. Armageddon was cool, but I wasn’t a fan of the linear gameplay.

    A proper sequel would’ve made me so happy, but no, Embracer has to ruin everything it touches.

  • Hey! You watch your mouth! We’ve developed lots of things including how to efficiently go bankrupt from a medical emergency!

    Having freedom means the freedom to not afford living, too.

  • ADHD imposter syndrome at work
  • I work in IT, specifically desktop support. Over the last decade I’ve moved up into management and I’ve always had that feeling of things are going to fall to the ground any minute now. Everything is overwhelming and how can I possibly keep up. I just need to work faster. I decided to get tested when I moved into management and it got even harder to keep track of everything. I was diagnosed with combined adhd as well as moderate depression and anxiety maybe 6 months after that.

    The thing that helped me most with getting a handle on my job has been medication, especially adderall/vyvanse (I like adderall better, but this ongoing shortage sucks). It can still be hard to concentrate, but I have a much easier time figuring out what needs to be done and being able to concentrate on that and somewhat ignore all the millions of other things that I need to pay attention to.

    As long as you expect yourself to fail, it’ll eventually happen. Even if you’re doing a perfect job, you’ll burn yourself out with the stress of feeling like you’ll eventually fail. One thing that could help, if you don’t already, keep a task list as well. Even if it’s reminders of the things you need to do. I’ve found having that has helped me remember the next day or even later that same day the things I need to do.

    What do you need to do to get from a provisional ADHD diagnosis to a full one? And have you mentioned to your doctor the anxiety you have for work?

  • The problem is with DRM owning a physical copy of a recent game doesn’t mean squat. It also wasn’t a gap for older generations since CDs were a terrible medium to store and verify games since they scratch easy.

    The fight will always be you want to own the thing you buy, and companies will want to stop people who didn’t buy it from using it. This fight has been going on since the original DOOM was freely passed around.

  • Saints Row free on EGS
  • I still wanted to try it out and see if it’s just stupid fun or just plain garbage. Now I can find out for myself without spending hard earned money that I can spend on other disappointing things instead!

  • Epic games says I own a game but it’s the same where I don’t actually own it, I just own a license to download the game from their servers. Pretty sure it’s the same on PSN, too

    Maybe I misunderstood the original question

  • Light No Fire Announcement Trailer
  • Valheim turned my group off when we accidentally wandered into a biome we weren’t ready for (and didn’t know) and were all one shot by those stupid mosquitos on the opposite side of the map from our camp and couldn’t get our stuff back. We had issues like that before but could always just barely recover our stuff. But those damned mosquitos? Nah.

    But if Hello Games can take care of balance issues like that, I’m definitely willing to take a chance.
