I've also heard Autoshooter. Seems as good of a genre name as any.

It's an autoshooter isn't it? -
Steam is a ticking time bomb.Yeah, no. Valve has all but ensured their continuing relevance with the Steam Deck alone. Coupled with their *consumer-focused* policies (like forcing companies to disclose kernel-level anti-cheat), they're not going anywhere. This is just a Mac fanboi who's salty that Mac support is poor, even though it's **Apple** that has made their walled garden hard to work with. I do worry a little about future antitrust actions, because while I generally like Valve as they are, Gabe won't be around forever. They have a giant influence in the market, and they don't even have to try (they were one of the first, so it makes sense they'd have the most market share); it could be that the company I generally like starts actively being anticompetitive or starts donating to Nazis or something. But that is a problem for a future time, and there's no denying that Valve has propelled Linux gaming into mainstream relevance. No matter what happens, I'll always be grateful for that. -
Good luck!Good luck! Ori is a work of art, and I look forward to more of what they can do! -
Due to new tariffs, many more physical game discs may “simply not get made” - Ars Technica>If physical game prices go up as a result but digital stay the same I'll believe it, but if both game prices go up, I'm not going to assume it's due to the Tariffs, I'm going to directly correlate that to the company's greed That's silly. You're ignoring the possibility that disc prices will go up due to tariffs *and* that game companies will use that as justification to raise prices on digital goods. Tariffs would be the root cause for both, greed would be the additional factor for the latter only. Companies will use every opportunity to rob you, but tariffs are going to hurt. Don't let Trump get a pass just because companies are opportunists. -

You'll need to pay to edit your Monster Hunter Wilds character beyond the first free redoOn the other hand, what cost is it to Capcom to let players "redo" whenever they want? Some people just like trying new things. This is just a cash grab aimed at people who have alternative ways they want to play, with no real benefit to anyone but Capcom. *I* don't care what people look like, as long as they don't throw a hunt for the lols. And if it makes someone else happy to have a weird troll with an underbite one week and a giant Smurf the next, who am I to say that's the wrong way to play? Just seems like Capcom further forcing people to fit within their box. First it was the anti-mod rootkit, now it's limited in-game customizations. -
RPS Verdict: Monster Hunter WildsThat's the only thing that's stopped me from getting too excited about this one. I haven't reinstalled World just because of how they forced players into it. Though with Dauntless getting shuttered at the end of March, maybe I'll have to dust off the ol' gunlance. -
RPS Verdict: Monster Hunter WildsDoes it still come with Capcom's anti-mod rootkit? -
Phoenix Labs Announces Dauntless Will Shut Down In May 2025, Just A Month After The “Majority” Of Staff Was Laid OffSad, but not unexpected. I happened to pick it back up after a few years right about when the first round of layoffs happened. Somebody decided to fundamentally change the game all at once, removing or replacing people's weapons and gear, and while I think it's overall good, it pissed off a lot of people who had spent hundreds of hours farming behemoths. I've been playing my last hurrahs, knowing this was coming. Sad that Forte (who bought Phoenix Labs) just let it die like this, but they were never in it to make a good game—just a quick buck. Hopefully a game like this comes again, someday. They were the first game I can recall that had good crossplay at a time when what was novel. -
