hoshikarakitaridia,

Same, I missed the beta by one day and I’m so hyped

hoshikarakitaridia,

In all seriousness, I actually do like the PEGI12 one more. It’s more poiniant in a weird way. I’m not even kidding.

hoshikarakitaridia,

You know, they got a point. You gotta believe in the project, and when you do it properly, you will make the money back, and much more.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Interesting article.

I love how they are not directly taking the piss out of the quote, but going out of their way to show how there’s a vastly different meaning behind what he’s saying in opposition to what he intended.

You know, in layterms, he doesn’t fucking know the words that come out of his mouth.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Idk about that. They are literally saying they will replace gog account system with their own one. Sounds really specific to me.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Lol

I played the closed beta. For 20min. I couldn’t continue because it felt so incredibly boring. Insanely uninspired. Even Blackwake, the buggy mess with the simplest game loop was more interesting.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Pretty sure they will only rack up a penalty for it. That said, they could make it sting though, that would also increase FTC’s power.

hoshikarakitaridia,

TBF Fortnite pivoted to battle royale so fast that it basically never even really tried to still make that a thing.

Still weird if you think about it tho.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Unfortunately that sounds like a clear cut case. Iirc they have copyright to the creatures themselves, and that case is very straightforward to prove.

hoshikarakitaridia,

not necessarily breaking their format

To some degree I’d honestly welcome that. Even if it’s not going to be some Breath of the Wild quality spin-off, I just want more creativity.

hoshikarakitaridia,

but surely a lot of that is automated, no?

You know, ppl have tried to automate it in its totality. They’ve tried to make it 50/50, but it turns out there’s not much to automate. Sure you can automate copyright claims on media sources, but that’s about it. As soon as there’s any complexity to it, human review is necessary. You have to appreciate that content moderation mistakes can have a ripple effect into platform integrity and company image as well as user experience. The risks are easy to underestimate.

hoshikarakitaridia,

This new partnership should excite fans in the region

Unfortunately Blizzard lost so much community trust with their fallouts in Overwatch 2, Diablo Immortals, Diablo 4, and in regards to sexual allegations to their own staff.

I think chinese customers will be unaware of those fallouts, but considering Blizzard fucked up their contract negotiations, those players will be very considerate when deciding to buy the next Blizzard games.

hoshikarakitaridia,

And once again it shows, if you wanna surpass a company you don’t do it by attacking them, but by providing superior service or product.

Now let’s look at why they are failing: Epic Games got some good original games. BUT: they are trying to buy exclusive licenses to force players to use their client, and they didn’t even make sure their client makes for an ok experience. The menus feel sluggish and blank (except for the store which is ok at best and very inconvenient to browse), the ratio of clicks per functions is very bad, the function range is very lacking and things haven’t changed over the last 4 years.

Let’s acknowledge that in addition there’s quite a few bugs still roaming around. For example: for about a year now I am unable to open the friends list in any way shape or form.

hoshikarakitaridia,

The 21st century sure has some unique threats to some country’s military forces.

hoshikarakitaridia,

good thing is, apple and Google will get so much antitrust shit for their app stores in the near future from the EU, they will be forced to make side loading a thing at some point. So the only thing for the US to do is to get their laws together to make it legally binding for them as well.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Yeah that’s quite awkward. Kinda sets a bad precedent.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Ironic.

It’s quite ironic when the biggest gaming event calls you out on a practice you are actively participating in and you can’t just brush it off as easily.

Very good for this to get exposure. I hope they earn a shit storm for this.

hoshikarakitaridia,

as reported by Eurogamer

The source is from 2012. That’s internet Explorer levels of recency reporting.

hoshikarakitaridia,

That is awful and I hope he won’t be traumatized from it. I also hope the asshole who called the swatting gets traced and prosecuted criminally.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Isn’t this the guy who was a dick about copyright to his work concerning derivatives? I remember someone saying that either for the games or for the movie they had to fight to retain licenses because he was acting up about it.

hoshikarakitaridia,

I mean he had a very weak case iirc but it’s very unsatisfying to hear he still got a settlement. Makes sense tho, lawsuits are not worth it 95% of the time.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Every time I read shit I’m like “this is exactly how a trial works. Why is this news.”

hoshikarakitaridia,

That’s fine.

I bought the game on PC and I played it for 2 weeks and then never touched it again. They managed to touch so many things from the original modern warfare 2 that it completely lost its flow. It was really sad to say that the gameplay lost all it’s charm, but oh well.

Good thing you got your money back, it probably wasn’t worth it anyway.

hoshikarakitaridia,

I’m on a streak where I only go fishing whenever the game supports that. Far Cry? Time to learn the mechanics. Minecraft? How about building a restaurant at the ocean and then bringing in the food. Some obscure casual game? You know it baby.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Yeah so when I asked the Devs for that in testing…

Nah just joking. I did fish in Hades tho. 2/5 not as fun as other fishing mechanics.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Oh most definitely. I play this one together with a friend occasionally and he always helps prepare for the bosses while I mainly just fish. 4.5/5 really good fishing game. Enjoyed the loot.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Not my kinda game but would love to hear a fishing review on that one.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Nice. I strive to be her.

hoshikarakitaridia,

No but in the videos it looked really cool. Great game, but 4/5 for fishing only because the mechanics resemble fishing less and less. Mhm, maybe 4.3/5 for fish variety and originality as well as cooking.

hoshikarakitaridia,

I disagree.

Both sides are bad, no matter who is currently the aggressor.

Now because there is aggression, the aggressor has an obligation to stop it, and we have an obligation to force a stop in the conflict as well. But that doesn’t make the other party less Bad in this. Both sides killed a lot of innocent people, both have inhumane ulterior motives and both are supporting further escalation. But ofc if there’s only one party doing the fighting, then that’s the party that acutely needs to be stopped.

This distinction is very important to me, because you are not suddenly the good guy because you stopped killing civilians. You are just not actively doing war crimes which means we don’t have to intervene because of you anymore, which is at least one less reason. But you are not holy because “this year it was only 300 war crimes”.

hoshikarakitaridia,

I’m now an axolotl with an AK-47 who is killing to provide food for my children.

I don’t see a downside.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Yeah I’m gonna give the summary of the most important comments on this:

  • Unity is untrustworthy
  • they pulled this shit knowing it would fall flat
  • the CEO got his position when he was already known to be a prick
  • shady insider trading is shady
  • the board who chose or approved the CEO is still the same
  • there’s solid alternatives

These are all the reasons why you shouldn’t go back to Unity. That said, I’m very sorry for the Devs of Unity who most definitely don’t deserve this.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Omg that’s so important.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Why do game engine producers feel the need to increase prices so much currently?

hoshikarakitaridia,

I’ve played the last two games of that series and even for someone who is up for the grind, it just felt lifeless and uninspired. No need to play it anymore.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Pizza Possum. Very small indie game, but very fun.

hoshikarakitaridia,

I remember commenting on a post where China condemned Japan for doing this.

I asked ppl there “is this actually bad or is this kind of par for the course of getting rid of the dangers left behind in Fukushima?” And most of them were like “it’s not a common occurrence but it’s not inherently dangerous and it’s not that big of a deal”

To me it looks like the vast majority of objections to this came from strategic propaganda related to domestic relations of China and/or other nations.

hoshikarakitaridia,

All hail FOSS and Godot.

hoshikarakitaridia,

I mean you definitely got a point, but don’t forget that there are long term consequences. The trust is completely gone (which is needed if you invest in this game engine and you will probably see the unity market share drop in the coming year.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Idk why everyone is like “well Reddit won and we’re just on Lemmy because we’re nerds and no one believes in FOSS anyway”. Yes, I get you, there’s currently not much consequence visible for the Reddit debacle. I genuinely think we’re in the middle of a slow and painful death to Reddit. A lot of big companies don’t implode, but they die slowly in front of their competition. Yeah, currently we only are a fraction of users compared to Reddit, but if people truly believe in Lemmy as the better platform, this will be competition.

hoshikarakitaridia,

I hope unity’s shareholders are happy with what they hoped for. This is the result of driving a company too far. Let’s makes this a guideline to follow for other companies not to make such shady decisions.

It becomes more appearent with every new instance of protest that there’s something equally valuable for a company as money, and that is community trust. Because losing it can stop growth. I love the new layer of accountability we obtained with the internet.

hoshikarakitaridia,

Everyone is like “well no shit” but I honestly didn’t know. I don’t play the game. It’s good to hear about, especially for parents.
