That is the actual formatting for all of Lemmy to the best of my knowledge.

Some of the apps people use don’t do formatting properly.

It really depends on the Articles (of Incorporation, of Amendment, of Continuation, etc.) and the Bylaws.

Strange Flesh, but in a more literal sense, to a subby bottom bear.

What about Redout?

I completely agree that the quality of the story is kinda the whole point, but I am tired of seeing comments like the one RightHand made; complaining that she is a woman just because she is a woman.

If women make up around 50% of the people on earth, shouldn’t they make up around 50% of the main characters?

Interplay/Black Isle, pre-EA Bioware, Troika, Obsidian, Chris Sawyer, Larian, Lucas Arts, Valve, Gearbox had it’s time in the sun, as did Mojang.

Canadians of a certain age will remember Buck-a-day computers from the 2000’s

The game sold about a million copies in its first month, but that’s across all platforms, and I think that was also including the games that came bundled with Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs.

So, still not super great, but likely much higher than the Steam number

Can you explain further, or give an example?

You’re right in saying that these devices are basically ancient, and also right about why you should never use all-in-ones for anything that you would want to last more than a couple of years.

Sometimes I purposefully seek out LGBTQ games.

It’s nice to see a story that I can actually relate to once in a while, instead of another “straight white guy who is enough of an every man to be relatable to the masses, but still strong enough to save the world and get the girl.” Seeing the same “Hero’s Story” over and over and over in media gets boring, and if you want to see more of something, that thing needs to be profitable so more people make it.

It’s sounds like you ate Capt’n Crunch this morning, instead of a heaping bowl of Cap’italism.

Our system rewards people who would kill babies in order to make 4% more than last quarter. Anything less than “even more profitable than last quarter” is a sin for which there is no penance.

You can always make one if there isn’t, but you will likely need to heavily moderate it.

Life is Strange and Vampyr are the only things they’ve done that I can say that I’ve played.
You can’t go 6+ years without releasing something that sells well and still survive. I am not sure that having 8 games in production was a great idea, but maybe a last attempt at getting something to stick and then focus on one or two games was their best option.

lol, gross.

This is the first time I’ve heard of this game, and the first time I heard about Concord was the announcement that it was being pulled.

Does it work when you use a browser? If so, then submit a bug report to Voyager

Works fine on my phone, using an android fork.

Are you viewing this in a normal browser, or through an app?

30% isn’t actually that steep when compared with buying physical media; big-box stores tend to run with a number around 30% for their mark-up.

There are some games that can approach that level of entertainment. Something like Minecraft may entertain some for tens of thousands of hours because of its sandbox nature, and Crusader Kings games can also eat years of one’s life because of how different each game/story can be.

But a game with a pre-written story and an immutable world has a fairly short shelf-life for most people.

Flappy bird is the rip-off version of a different game already

“Chernobyl” is just factually wrong in this case. Even if you have decided that you want to spell it the Russian way in your day-to-day life, the name of the game spells it “Chornobyl”.

It’s the same as article using “Bald-hairs Gait”, or “Sidd Meyer’s Alfa Sentary”

It looks like they spell it correctly in the article now, so @[email protected] can update the title of the post to match the link

I played them when they were new, well newish in 2001. I am not saying that they are bad, they just weren’t strong in the areas that I think are the most important.

The half life games were just okay.

They don’t really have that deep of storylines or the characters, so I don’t think that being inside the world of half-life would make a show better than being its own thing.
The best things about them were the way that you could move/interact with items in the world with the gravity gun, how a lot of the playable areas felt like they were places and not sets designed for a video-game, and that the orange box contained portal.

You didn’t answer any of my questions, but you did give me enough information to solve this for you.

Basically, Google is stupid and bad. They won’t let you make a link to a specific thing that you open as a link on your homescreen.

The solve:

1. You go to a url shorting site, like tinyurl, and make a custom link.
2. you put your phone into airplane mode
3. put the new url into firefox, and once the page doesn’t load (no connection) you add it to your homescreen like normal. This re-direct will stop google from thinking that you opened the link as a homescreen shortcut.
4. close all browser tabs
5. turn airplane mode off (so you have connections again)
6. complete
7. Optional but recommended: Uninstall Brave

I can’t duplicate this error with Firefox.
What browser are you using?
What version of Android?
Which launcher?

Any game where it would traditionally require you to connect to a server. Things like MMORPGs, MOBAs, and multiplayer-only games.

It lands somewhere between a camgirl and a runescape GF.

I think the pacing is just off once you get close to the end.

Once you get to Baldur’s Gate, the game is a slog. If I didn’t want to get the golden dice just so I could say that I got them, I probably wouldn’t’ve finished the game.

I would rather we get a game for “Momma Mia! Here we go again” that more HL3 rumours.

Also, we’ve had more than 2 Half-Life games.

The article explains it in the second sentence, and gives further details in the third and fourth sentences.
Did you just the headline?

The start of season 21 (May 7, 2024) had 428,000ish players, right now there are 210,000ish players.

Freedom of speech is you vs the government. Not you vs. other citizens.

In the 2010s, it was cramming a phone app and wifi into things to try to justify the higher price, while also spying on users in new ways. The device may even a screen for basically no reason.
In the 2020s, those same useless features now with a bit of software with a flashy name that removes even more control from the user, and allows the manufacturer to spy on even further the user.

It’s mostly different employment laws.

You can change your settings so that nothing plays that you don’t want to, it stops a lot of garbage and ads from websites.

Firefox on your phone:

-click the 3 dot menu on the right
-select settings
-then select site permissions
-then select Autoplay
-choose “block audio and video”

Doesn’t Steam keep up with the amount of time people have played their games? Or is it up to the individual games to track that?

Steam does keep track of play time, but I am not sure what playtime has to do with my comment.

They don’t say how they come to that number in the article, so I assume they are using non-sale prices. I know that I’ve gotten some bundles of games in the past that were 95%+ off, which I bought just for the one game because it was the same price or cheaper.
