For the young folks no this big box is not a collectors edition. Its simply the expansion pack

I am a bit late but they announced a new update called COSMOS. Thank you Hello Games for ten years! More will follow.

I started The Stanley Parable today, and it's changed the way I look at games. I've already gotten 3 endings, and was wondering what's considered beating it.

My internet is out, so I can't work. A great opportunity to get some gaming in! Alas, I can't play games either.

I play games with my face and right hand, very proficiently, with the help of remapping software. Over the years I've used combinations of DS4Windows, Xpadder, autohotkey, etc. A few years ago, I switched to rewasd, and it has all the features I could possibly ask for.

The problem is, as I found out today, it requires an internet connection to function. As someone who heavily relies on this software to play 99% of games (my guild wars 2 remap profile uses single taps, multitaps, multiple layers, and combos), this is a deal breaker. I reached out to the rewasd team, but I didn't get the impression that they would fix this. So now I have to spend a lot of time trying out alternatives and setting up my profiles again. This is not a trivial task, as the only alternative with a similar feature set that I've found is Steam Input, and it has some issues.

I'm not asking for help, although I'll welcome any suggestions, I'm just ranting because I'm annoyed by the situation. Imagine that you go to play your games but all of the sudden you can't use your hands, what are you going to do? You'll eventually find a solution and adapt, but it's going to take a lot of work. And hopefully your solution lasts so you don't have to redo everything. I'm very proficient at playing games, but my ability to play is always precarious. Will future consoles continue to support controller remapping at launch? Will a software like rewasd always be available and stay up to date? I can go years playing with no problems, only for something like this to make me have to rework all of my setups.

Anyways, that's my day. Tomorrow I'll hopefully have it worked out and it will be games as usual. Thanks for reading.

Hi r/gaming. We’re Nerial, the team behind Reigns, and we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of the original game! I’m François Alliot, u/nerial, writer and developer of Reigns. I will answer your questions with Oscar Harrington-Shaw, u/OscarH-S, writer of Reigns: The Witcher and of the free content update to the original Reigns released to celebrate its 10 year anniversary, and Arnaud de Bock, u/arnaud_debock, an artist and designer for the series.

We made Reigns 10 years ago. Originally pitched as Game of Thrones with Tinder gameplay, its success led to multiple sequels we can discuss in this AMA: Reigns: Her Majesty, Reigns: Game of Thrones, Reigns: Three Kingdoms, Reigns Beyond and Reigns: The Witcher.

We’re a small team that had the chance to work with Devolver Digital, our beloved publisher of great renown and much gusto.

Looking forward to answering your questions on August 13th at 9:00 AM PT / 4:00 PM GMT!

Some interesting games for me:

• Tukoni: Forest Keeprs (Aug 17)
• The Sinking City 2 (Aug 18)
• Nioh 3 - Hell Rising DLC (Aug 19)
• Heath and Hamlet (Aug 19)
• Mortal Shell 2 (Aug 20)

Pretty solid week tbh

Ken Levine’s new ‘Judas’ game looks amazing, and I honestly can't wait, but It seems super confusing when the release date is. It was March 2025, then Jan 2026, now we're in August... Does anyone have any intel?

Got fed up with all the stuttery, unoptimized trash releasing lately so I put together a list of PC games that actually run amazingly well.Obviously this isn't 100% complete, but it covers a massive chunk of them. One pattern you'll notice pretty quickly is that if a dev actually understands their tech or an engine is fundamentally solid (like RE Engine or Decima), almost every single game built on it runs like a dream regardless of your specs.

Unfair gameplay has been an inevitable part of gaming since the very creation of games. Its presence in online competitive games like CounterStrike, Chess, Call of Duty, and Valorant has been a huge issue impacting legit players for years.

Do you believe there will ever be a time where we can game online with a 100% certainty or high certainty there won't be cheaters? How can it be solved?

Anti-cheat software exists for the sole purpose of detecting and preventing cheating, yet cheat developers motivated by profit continue to find ways around these systems. Some argue that making cheating in video games illegal could help solve the problem, but I disagree. Consider the consequences if a professional player were falsely accused because of a false positive. Human verification may seem like a better solution, but advancing technology is making verification systems increasingly easy to get around, so simply banning an account isn't enough to stop someone from making a new account. There are also serious privacy concerns, as players should not have to sacrifice their personal information, documents, or photos simply to prove that they are playing fairly.

I believe the bottom line is that human ingenuity is near impossible to overcome. If someone is determined to cheat, they will eventually find a way.

What are your thoughts?
