@Havoc  
amoongus? the fungus pokemon?

ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION!  
Microsoft is buying Bethesda, and in addition Id software!

@Absol95  
Enh. Not like they can Bugthesda any worse.

All I know is, if I need to buy the next Xbox to play the next Doom game whenever that comes out, well, Original Doom-Doom Eternal was a good run.

@Jomok0  
As much as Microsoft likes to secure their own console exclusives, they’ve been pretty good about leaving traditionally broad-market franchise acquisitions alone. I don’t think console exclusivity for Doom or TES, at the very least, will be likely.

Got a TF2 server if anyone wants to join, made it mainly for my birthday stream today, but I’ll let it run longer.  
Workshop map suggestions encouraged.

Old Map pack I made from five years ago that I decided to include in the server.
 
Anyway, discuss tf2 by replying to this post.

I’ve been playing this mlp/not-mlp game on steam called D’Lirium. It’s a horror game that only has a few levels and is in early access but is getting engine updates and a tongue-in-cheek prequel hopefully soon.

It’s finally happening. NieR Replicant ver.122474487139 is coming to Steam in 2021, and the madman Yoko Taro himself is the one adding new content rather than some third party. In his words: “It’s like adding toppings to the world’s best ramen.” Someone get this man more LSD and caffeine.

@GuiltyGrimoire  
I’m glad someone else knows about that game.
 
@Azure Fang  
Just saw that a moment ago when I fired up Steam. I love Taro. Crazy fuck. I just hope there’ll be a Papa Nier option.

@Officer Hotpants  
Probably won’t happen, but we can hope. I’d more like Drakengard 1 to be ported, then maybe 3 if they incorporate the novel that made it a prequel to 1. But I’m honestly happy we’re getting NieR Replicant ver.√1.5 at all, even with some of its seemingly strange voice casting decisions (Japanese Pod 042 as Japanese Grimoire Weiss?).
 
EDIT: Wait… I just found out that the English Pod 042 was the original English Grimoire Noir. It’s all making sense now, in a Yoko Taro sort of way.

@Officer Hotpants  
saw a video of that  
games like these that dont take themselve seriusly and are broken by desing warm my heart
 
im still sad that totally accurate battlegrounds didnt properly take off, atleast it gets some updates every now and then

@Officer Hotpants  
I think I remember seeing you in the forums on steam, now that I think about it.
 
@Azure Fang  
Niceee!

@GuiltyGrimoire  
May have. I’ve spoken there a couple of times.

 
I own this game.

@Havoc  
Is that the one that gets progressively more ridiculous until you’re flying the wagon through the sky, shooting down aliens?

God I love mario sunshine.

@Havoc  
buffalo?

@Officer Hotpants  
Yes.
 
 
@TeamBlueplant  
So many.

>Team Fortress got a Sequel  
>but not Counterstrike  
WHY!?

@Absol95  
Team Fortress uno was literary just a mod.

@Havoc  
So was the original Counter Strike. That said…
 
@Absol95  
CS did get a sequel: Condition Zero. And that was followed by the “official” Counter Strike - CS:Source, which itself received a sequel in the form of CS:GO.

@Azure Fang  
Vale works in 2s.
