    speaking of terrible ideas like drug abuse,

    https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-04-06-nintendo-xbox-and-ubisoft-back-digital-only-e3-2021
    E3 2021 will return this June in digital form, and has been backed by Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft, Take-Two, Warner Bros and Koch Media.

    It's a strong line-up, especially with the two platform holders on-board, however there are some notable absentees, including Sony, EA, Activision Blizzard, Sega, Bandai Namco and Square Enix. The event takes place between June 12 and June 15, so there is still time for other publishers to sign up.

    It's... not for me.

    Edit: At least the charity it supports this month is Stop AAPI Hate.

    In Other Waters is extremely good, so if there's at least one other game on the list you'd like to try, pick up the month.

    Is there any game folks like that's like a building/management game but for green spaces instead of paving things over? Playing Subnautica has me wanting to build a gigantic aquarium or something. I feel like Among Ripples is the closest to what I'm looking for but it is also both not out yet and seemed a little too simple.

    @durandal4532 there's Megaquarium that has you managing an aquarium. I haven't played it, but the steam reviews seem to be pretty positive.

    In Cloud Gardens players must harness the power of nature to overgrow lo-fi scenes of urban decay and manufactured landscapes. By planting seeds in the right places, they’re able to create small overgrown dioramas of brutalism and beauty, salvaging and repurposing hundreds of discarded objects to create unique structures for nature to reclaim.

    I knew Oddworld Soulstorm was a thing, but I had no idea it was coming out now. It kinda felt like something that was never gonna come out.

    I guess I have lost track of when game releases are, in general.

    My first computer for whatever reason came with an Awe32 sound card. I kept that thing around until motherboards stopped coming with ISA slots. It had such good sound quality.

    I used to buy soundblasters but their driver quality cratered in the mid-2000's

    they always made my system unstable, and they'd stop supporting them really quickly as well

    these days I just buy gaming motherboards and use built-in audio

    For headphones I finally splurged on some good cans and a nice DAC and Amp and love it.

    I do miss my old Klipsch 4.1 Promedias for regular speakers, but I have a decent set of Logitech's that get the job done.

    Creative have always been a garbage company, they repeatedly removed features from older cards in driver upgrades, so they could push sales of their new cards. Personally I have a nice pair of headphones and a FiiO to drive them- onboard soundcards are way, way better than they used to be, however they mostly can't drive meaty headphones (mine are 250 ohm, so, they need some juice) and over the years I've grown paranoid about coil whine and crosstalk. I've just had too many bad soundcards and onboard cards where I upgraded my headphones and could suddenly hear them kick in under load. No real risk of that when the bit that generates sound is external to the PC itself.

    Classification in Australia is also a state matter, so while there's mostly a consensus (if still a restrictive one) since R18 for games came into effect in 2013, Western Australia and South Australia still restrict promotion of R games and it's been that way since 2013.

    But yeah, the Fallout example proves how much of a joke our classification board is.

    Fallout was a dumb situation, but understandable.

    You’re not allowed to show drug use , particularly with positive effects.

    Chems were too close to real world drugs - med-x was even called morphine and had a very obvious intravenous system in view, which immediately was a no-no to the board since there’s already a system in place they don’t like, but then they just straight up used a real world drug.

    Seems renaming med-x was enough to convince the board to let it go.

    I’m not familiar with Disco Elysium, but I know enough about it that this might be a similar situation, though why they’re picking on consoles might be about age demographics (even if they are very outdated ideas of who plays console games).
