Fallout devs wanted uber-violent deaths to feel "like an R-rated version of Warner Bros cartoons" back in the '90s: "It was supposed to be funny"

And now, it joins the legions of other games to implement Steam Trading Cards – in true Farming Sim fashion, there’s an expensive twist to the tale. Or should that be tail? Steam Trading Cards are pseudo-achievements, unlocked simply by playing a game. You can then sell or…
In a recent interview, Grasshopper Manufacture founder and CEO Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) summed up his opinion on where his studio’s games sit within the wider gaming landscape.“I play a lot of these really amazingly well-done games, and I think ‘wow, I can’t think of a single problem with this game’,” he told Kinda Funny. “I’m sitting there playing it, trying to find mistakes or little sucky parts, and there’s nothing.

Well, it’s official. After a year of getting over my cozy game obsession by expanding my Steam library like never before, 2026 has immediately sucked me back into the genre in full force.
