If you agree this isn’t review bombing, what the fuck are you even arguing about??? 🙄 It’s not external. It’s the game crashing. External would be something like “I don’t like this company’s CEO so I’m giving it a bad review.”

If they’re selling the game somewhere right now (like GOG) and it doesn’t run on your computer then it’s perfectly acceptable to give it a review rating of “Not Recommended”

I’m not going to discuss this any more. This is a perfectly acceptable review of the game. Seeing mixed or negative scores for recent reviews is important for potential buyers. Ubisoft has made patches for other games affected by this but not this one. This is not review bombing.

Is the game supposed to work on Windows? Does it?

It’s literally not external.

What state is the game currently in for these users? Not working. Why would they recommend it?

That’s not an external factor. It’s the absence of a patch in the game.

Star Wars Outlaws in particular received a temporary fix for crashing issues back in November. While Microsoft and Ubisoft have been working on a fix, issues with games like Assassin’s Creed Origins still remain.

If a fix exists for other games and not this one and you’ve been negatively affected, that’s a 100% acceptable reason to give a “Not Recommend” review.

I like this game (and mini motorways) but it sort of requires you to pause a lot. It doesn’t significantly take away from the experience (and a lot of games I really enjoy are like this, FTL is a big example) but it still bothers me

To me “review bomb” implies giving a rating based on external or irrelevant factors. Giving a game a bad review because it doesn’t run correctly on your computer is perfectly valid and helpful to other users.

piracy

This is legal.

Regretting a decision doesn’t make it an accident.

No it’s not. If Steam goes down you cannot keep playing your games without using a crack to get around the DRM.

GOG is the only big option if you want to own the games you purchase.

I think it’s pretty clear from context that they mean they have the ability to perpetually play the games because of the lack of DRM, not the right.

Nobody is saying otherwise.

People here claim, that just because GOG cannot remote wipe your drive, people buying off GOG have a perpetual right to the games they’ve bought.

I think it’s pretty clear from context that they mean they have the ability to perpetually play the games because of the lack of DRM, not the right.

What they mean is that technically you still are being granted a license to use it. The same was true for things like DVD movies. They’re technically correct, but missing the point.

I totally understand your point, but when people talk about “you own nothing” they don’t really mean you “own” the content on physical media, they mean it doesn’t have DRM that requires an online service. You’re technically correct, but your pedantry is making you miss the forest for the trees, basically.

As great as Gaben and Valve are his word doesn’t mean anything (it’s not a personal attack either, it’s just that it isn’t anything binding). Luckily if they fail to keep their promises (or legally cannot) then the crack community will step in. I’m pretty sure they cracked Steam DRM ages ago. I remember a friend using it for Left 4 Dead back in the day.

2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of “stupid video about singing heads in toilets.”

It’s unironically one of my favorite examples of “show don’t tell” storytelling.

It’s actually really good! It’s a classic case of things getting popular and cringe fans. Undertale is another big example of this, at least the first few years it was out. I guess Minecraft too, at times.

Skibidi Toilet is a series of short form videos using assets from Garry’s Mod and/or Source Film Maker. It features the camera heads (protagonists) fighting the toilet heads (antagonists). The toilets can be defeated by flushing the toilet. The series features an escalation of violence and weapons on both sides along with at least one additional faction joining.

It’s actually pretty good. Like a lot of things the youth are into it’s their obsession with it that’s annoying moreso than the content.

How on earth is this confusing? Skibidi toilet is like one of the biggest memes right now. Fortnite has practically everyone and everything in it nowadays.

Or be a degenerate openly lol.

It’s near the line, I agree, I see your point, but it’s just the terminology and no gambling mechanics. You don’t set the ante, you just play. They could change the name ante to level and it would be the same. It’s not like you look at your stuff and decide how much you’re willing to risk. (You could argue skipping blinds is this sort of risk analysis like gambling but that’s hardly unique to Balatro.) There is no benefit from stopping earlier because if you lose on ante one or lose on ante seven it’s the same outcome. Also, if you choose to restart one ante one or ante seven it’s the same outcome. Because it’s just a score keeping mechanism. Nothing more.

Luigi Mangione played Among Us, an assassination game!

Awesome, should be easy enough to make a little hand sling shot your character pulls out of a pocket.

It’s fun until you close the shop and realize what the boss is and can’t reopen the shop lol.

TPM is still part of what they’re calling “minimum system requirements” but they’re allowing you to install without it. There will be big scary warnings though and they’re threatening to not provide support.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1

Time will tell what happens. I believe if they see a significant portion of Windows 10 users on legacy devices without TPM upgrade to 11 they’ll continue to support it because the data they suck up is more valuable to them than the effort to support it.

It is not the same. The government won’t even allow you to drive a car without a seatbelt if you somehow managed to buy one.

Obviously it’s not exactly the same. It’s an analogy. It’s only meant to help illustrate a point.

This is like a car seat manufacturer refusing to “support” cars without seatbelts and then claiming their new line of seats is secure.

Are they not pushing updates out for Windows 11 on machines without TPM 2.0? If they are then it’s still “supported” lol.

Edit: After finding the actual post from Microsoft, yes, they’re saying they may not continue to provide patches for this. Time will tell. I believe they’d rather have more people using Windows 11 than Windows 10 and if many people with legacy BIOS systems upgrade to Windows 11 they may continue to support them. Just like the full screen ads they pushed to get people to upgrade hardware, I think this messaging is moreso meant to scare people to upgrade hardware, but I believe the data they’re gonna suck out of these older systems on Windows 11 is likely more valuable to them than the cost of supporting BIOS.

The following disclaimer applies if Windows 11 is installed on a device that doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements:

This PC doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements for running Windows 11 - these requirements help ensure a more reliable and higher quality experience. Installing Windows 11 on this PC is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won’t be entitled to receive updates. Damages to your PC due to lack of compatibility aren’t covered under the manufacturer warranty. By selecting Accept, you are acknowledging that you read and understand this statement.

I FUCKING CALLED IT. The irony is that if they’d dropped the requirement a year or so sooner then I would’ve upgraded to Windows 11 and probably not be planning on my next computer being Linux.

They might be referring to CapsuleCorp’s capsules. They would store big things in tiny capsules, much like Poke balls work. I don’t recall people or monsters ever being store in them, nor do I remember things forcibly being put into them at all. It’s possible this was bigger on Dragon Ball, as a kid I was more familiar with Dragon Ball Z.

I’d be more willing to agree if Nintendo was going after them for similar art styles. They went after them for fucking throwing balls of all things. This is going to set a horrible precedent for the game industry.

So either Nintendo didn’t believe the monster designs were rip offs, or they didn’t feel it was a proper violation because they’ve shown themselves as willing to litigate.

Poor frame rate

That’s the weird thing. It doesn’t seem to matter. The patent was filed after PalWorld was released. I’m guessing this is some quirk of Japan’s patent system I’m unfamiliar with.

Literally just change the throw animation to use a weaker looking slingshot than whatever the current weakest one is.
