Breath of the Wild on PC?

From a few days ago, but there's apparently a working Wii-U emulator (cemu), that checking its wiki can run BotW to completion without too much trouble. It's not officially released PC side or nothin'.

 you can also just cheat. Give yourself some extra health, more perks, slow the game down when you're in a region that's giving you trouble, etc.

Noita's still plenty fun when you're doing stuff the game would rather you not be doing, heh.

Oh hey, I, Dracula: Genesis is half off (8 bucks USD, for me) until the 18th. It's a pretty damn good twinstick gungeon like thing with a fairly (if not entirely*) unique aesthetic. If there's a notable downside, it's that it's fairly difficult in places (e.g. I just died in the tutorial :V), but overall it's pretty neat. Early access, but already more or less feature complete and winnable and whatnot.

* The thing's weirdly reminiscent of the old game Chaos Engine in terms of art style, which isn't exactly a bad thing.

I'm not saying WoW didn't deserve to win out the MMO wars, its just after a while people stopped try to compete with it altogether.  And then arguably WoW started to stagnate.

Like... they didn't, though. WoW style MMOs have never stopped coming out, and MMORPGs of other sorts have been a steady drumbeat this whole time. They've mostly failed to meaningfully compete, sure, but that's not the same as not trying, yeah?

oh lol

GOP malfeasance appears to have fucked them; that horseshit ten hour overnight bill read intended to delay plague relief led to present dems voting to reduce the overall consideration time from 20 hours to 3, with not enough scumshit republicans left in the chamber to stop it -- estimation I've seen is that (due to the overnight horseshit not happening during normal hours) the GOP's delaying sabotage crap just accelerated the relief bill by like two full days.

Here's hoping it's as good a thing as it looks like, ahaha!

... makes me wonder if I'll ever get around to actually finishing the trilogy, that. Idly wonder with a side of "probably not", though. I remember the third bit being staggeringly boring; I dropped it part way through and never finished. Hobbit was pretty good stuff, at least

Publishers do shit like this on the regular, though. Stuff goes out of print or publishers stop printing them all the bloody time, for all sorts of reasons up to and including, "Yeah, this had some odious crap we don't want to print anymore". This has been true for literal centuries. It's not exactly super dangerous.

voila straight from the librarist's mouth

Hell, it's probably worth noting that, even with the raging tire fire that is copyright law, archival libraries in particular have an expanded mandate in what they can just copy more or less at will, on top of the tools to do so. If somehow these specific items winnow down to just archival copies, when they start to wear with time they'll just... be copied anyway, to keep one around.
