I completely forget that this exists for 3 years at a time. What’s more impressive than the mod is the team continuing to create it for like 10 years without simply leaving when it became difficult.

So, let me get this straight. It’s Destiny, but with gacha waifus?

Frankly, it seems stupid to cease producing actual games. There is only so much money to be made from pachinko. Good profits? Undeniably. It’s gambling, after all. But Japan is smaller than the entirety of the world and, as far as I know, they make pachinko money from Japan alone.

Do what was done with Skyrim but make the dungeon puzzles less terrible, remove the horrific bugs, and make the setting a desert or lush forest. Boom, billion dollar game. Send me money, Todd.

IMDb indicates that the screenplay was written by a pair of writers exclusively versed in the 6-10 age demographic, with touchups by rob mcelhenney. Directed by the couple behind napoleon dynamite. I expect morbius.

It looks to be an acceptable movie in the same vein as minions to me. I really hope the plot won’t be as formulaic as it definitely is, because I’ll be compelled to watch it at some point.

Tangentially related- I fucking hate discord

If you solicit teams of vagrants to roam your restaurant, mending the walls and supports to prevent its imminent collapse, it’s a bit different. I’ve already given up on modders, their dysfunctions are as nonsensical to me as defending the company that takes advantage of and discards them.

In a perfect world, Bethesda would produce a whole game and rely not on free labor but themselves to create something. They went the Reddit route, instead opting to do as little as possible until it was inconvenient or even actively antagonistic toward their audience. They cannot have their cake and eat it. Their company is as much their modders as their employees. But they didn’t rerelease it under another edition, so I guess I can compliment their finite capacity for greed.

Bethesda offloads bug fixing to modders altogether too frequently to simply handwave modding as niche on PC. Over a decade on, comprehensive bug fixing mods are still amongst the most frequently downloaded files on nexusmods for Skyrim and even Fallout 4. They can’t have their cake and eat it too, and then complain that they urgently had to eat it.

Their actions don’t exist in a vacuum. Had they done this 5 years ago, it may have been received with confused appreciation, as it was with Skyrim. Now? After those mod creators have long since abandoned the game? It’s no longer welcome.

I mean, the issue is that the updates fix nothing of value and break mods in this decade old game. Passable update for console, “why did you even try?” on pc.

I mean, more midnight club vs need for speed but I take your meaning. And yes, aside from the stories and one having significantly more content, they’re essentially the same game. I’d have said battlefront 2, but I don’t respect the remake and fishing out multiple ps2s to play online is preposterous.

I don’t really understand the hype behind helldivers. To my eye, borderlands is essentially the same game but with greater variety, fewer hiccups, and a lower price.

It tends not to dawdle and is open to customization. Want a map? Make it. Want a unit? Make it. If you really want to get obsessive about any aspect then the option is available. Top it off with surprisingly nice art, a good community, and a sprinkle of nostalgia and you get a spicy pizza pie.

I knew about its initial release but had no clue whether it was the same team or an offshoot so I settled for a safe 10 years.

I recommend picking it back up if you enjoyed the campaigns. It’s just recently reached a third renaissance with an abundance of new fan content. No clue why.

Dunno whether this counts (free full game, no DLC, 10+ years old) but I’m loving battle for wesnoth. Some dialogue is stunted but it’s among the best hex grid strategy games I’ve played.

A low effort post day would help. Meme Monday or something.

I don’t want to get victim blamey, but…

Poe’s law was a concern even before its inception by known bigot and casual science fiction writer Edgar Allen Poe. Satire is a corpse animated in allegory to any cause the reader sees fit.

Left wingers as in hexbear or left wingers as in progressive voters? I haven’t heard it from either, but I’m rarely around anyone but the latter.

Yes, from the WEF in particular. It’s such an inane idea that it drips with sarcasm even when sincere. They described a utility without any of the makings of a utility. I wish it hadn’t been adopted by right wingers and turned into a catchphrase.

While I’m in favor of the saying’s anti-corporate message, I’m not a huge fan of the people I’ve seen saying it.

The studio seems pretty cool. Seems outwardly like they care more about accessibility and quality than short-term profits.

Kids can have a little job

As a treat.

Final fantasy without a barrage of mini games isn’t final fantasy. It looks good, though the combat is a bit too slow for my taste.

Alright, enjoy that one game not yet available on PC. You know the one.

The PS4 cannot be emulated either yet.

Are you referring to one of those new ps4 upscalers they’re looking to sunset in a few years?

Good sir, might I proffer a touch of html for your edification and enhancement? [email protected] Emulation is the sensation sweeping the nation.

The firings, more specifically, are meant to keep the appearance of profits high. Short term gains, long term losses. As is tradition.

That would make this version less transient. Can’t sell another version later if the previous one is still chugging along.

Wait, what? I was at an event where she spoke about it and she seemed comfortable enough speaking about it in that context. I guess feelings can change over the years, my mistake. Sincerely.

I’m not the person you originally responded to so hold your assumptions. The journalist who still actively works in this specific field a decade later, after becoming the subject of its ire is an objectively better choice. Don’t blame me for having the capacity to answer your question.

I get the not so vague feeling of contrarianism and I honestly dig it. Lemmy’s inability to keep sticks away from posteriors is exhausting.

Anita Sarkeesian. Ja Rule might also have some deep personal insight into the video game bigotry pipeline. He’s a face and personality I respect.

Huh, I always thought the Czech Republic, where their studio sits, was more accepting of non-cis folks. Turns out they’re still not even past debating gay marriage.

A minor plot point. Barely even mentioned.

In that case, people would mistakenly believe the game is about tending fields and rightfully choose Stardew Valley. An insurmountable problem.
