Garry’s mod is removing “Nintendo Stuff” after takedown notices, but users suspect foul play from fraudsters

This is not a mistake, the takedowns came from Nintendo. Honestly, this is fair enough. This is an ongoing process, as we have 20 years of uploads to go through. Not everyone is convinced, however. Just confirm EVERYONE knows the truth. Facepunch may not believe us, but we have evidence to prove them otherwise, sounds the rallying cry. Truly, the Lisan al Gaib of folks that like toroleplay as Splatoon characters catching Pokemon....

Another Crab's Treasure review: a playful Soulslike for everyone, especially if you like crabs

Or they stand out with incredibly deep combat, with dense menus and rainbow loot. Trade cowpat for coral, I’d say. Despite the fact Kril could probably take Prawnathan in a claw fight, Kril is overly nice and acquiesces. I particularly love how a trendy hairstyle is a curled orange peel. A cute dress is a receipt with burned edges, giving it an crisped flair. And that one guy’s smart hat is a bog roll....

Dark Souls would’ve been a better game in early access, says dev behind Dark Souls-like early access game No Rest For The Wicked

And I mean actual users, not a Focus Testing Group. Would the absence of its notable rough patches have conversely made the level less memorable than its current state? Would it have worked for Dark Souls?

Against The Storm's 1.3 update is out now and it's one for the zoomers

Why does a big zoom compel me so? It’s also, ultimately, just one of many quality-of-life and balance improvements included in the patch. There arefull patch notes on Steam. Note that the update means that any saved but incomplete settlement will no longer be playable. Players will be granted Citadel Resources and Royal Resupply as compensation. This will only be available for an extra week, however, so finish it up fast....

Cereballers is a free 2D football parody with a spark of real genius

it’s possible for you to finish in a few minutes. I do wish he’d stop doing that. Perhaps it could feature multiplayer. Creating accessibility features for it would be a nightmare, I guess. If Cereballers yanks your crank, I recommend checking outDomino Club in general.

Fortnite will let you hide "confrontational" emotes, including the game's most popular

This includes the emote reported as the most-used in Fortnite’s seven-year history. That’s either a worrying indictment of the game’s players, or a (more?) worrying indictment of universal human psychology. What is the offending animation? Well, turns out people don’t like being laughed at. It’ll be easy enough to hide, according toa post by the developers. Or they can change it so only friends can visibly perform the emote. Alongside the laughing emote, three others qualified for the “confrontational” filter....
