    PCG Article Discussion for April 2026

    https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/in-the-long-list-of-awful-things-ai-might-lead-to-we-can-also-add-killing-open-source-software/ This article should've been much clearer about how the presentation, website and arguments against open source software are satire. Which isn't to say that...

    Your favourite (euro)jank games

    According to the reviews, the version on Steam has had some significant changes and is a lot buggier than the original version.

    Back-Catalogue of Games.

    I don't really make a distinction between games I own and those I don't own. There are a lot of games I don't own that are on the list of games I would like to play. Of course the fact that the games I own are free does mean I tend to prioritise them, but there are a ton of games that are free...

    Your favourite (euro)jank games

    I did put the euro part in parenthesis because I don't particularly care where it comes from. I'm not sure if I would personally count every example you gave as jank, but I didn't intend this thread to devolve into a discussion on where the line between jank and non-jank is. I haven't played...

    Your favourite (euro)jank games

    Another game I have almost 100 hours in is Eador: Masters of the Broken World, a game so janky that I lost my save of over 70 hours when the game suddenly crashed to desktop every time I tried to load it. The entire game is about conquering shards, each controlled by a different opponent with a...

    Your favourite (euro)jank games

    The first one that comes to mind for me is Conquest of Elysium. It has it all: bad graphics, bad UI, no tutorial (though the manual is great, if ugly), no proper balancing, a mostly braindead AI and their website looks like it has kept the same design since the developer started in the 90s. Yet...

    Other than Valve, what video game developer/publisher would you most want to work for.

    Bay 12 Games: the developers of Dwarf Fortress. Alternatively, Freehold Games, the developers of Caves of Qud. I'd be okay with working for the publisher of both games as well: Kitfox Games.

    A holodeck would be the ultimate video game console, but...

    If a company offered to upload your consciousness to a computer to live eternally in a virtual world, I would assume they just kill you (at best) and use a chatbot to convince any remaining relatives you're living your best life in a simulation.

    A holodeck would be the ultimate video game console, but...

    Instead of a holo-deck, just upload your consciousness into a virtual reality you have full control over, so you never have to worry about eating, sleeping or death. At least for as long as you have electricity.

    PCG Article Discussion for March 2026

    I love large open-world games, but I can't play them back to back. I need some shorter, more focused games in between and I don't think I'm alone in that. So there is a lot of competition in large open-world games when you consider that most gamers probably only play one, maybe two of them a...

    PCG Article Discussion for March 2026

    I typically agree, but there are exceptions. I really enjoyed Midnight Suns for example, including the story and even running around the abbey, which I hadn't expected at all. The article does mention you can turn off all of the cinematic camera angles and such, so if you really don't care...
