Try F-Droid, there’s some good quality games in their listing, and it’s a lot more transparent than the Play store.
There’s also a lot more indies (whether new or old) that have made it to mobile, like Stardew Valley, Terraria and Dungeon Clawler, so it’s worth checking out the “premium” category on the Play store to find some decent games too
Not much in that article to convince you to go and play it. I had a lot of fun with it.
The writing was funny, the characters were also really funny, and how it all felt like an easier version of Dark Souls was appealing to me.
I enjoyed exploring the world and all the different shells that has different abilities, although I definitely had my favorite (the DS equivalent of light armor for lean dodge rolls) there were a surprising amount of shells that were fun to use.
I only had one bug and that was at release, where I didn’t get one of the keys necessary to fully upgrade my attack power. A bummer, but it didn’t stand in the way of me finishing the game.
Discoverability is a huge problem on Steam because there’s so many games releasing, you can’t really keep up.
18,000 games is almost 50 per day on average. That’s 50 titles fighting for your attention and wallet every single day.
If you don’t get noticed because you didn’t spend half of your development budget on marketing, or your game didn’t pick up well with influencers or more traditional media like reviews, you’re just kinda fucked. No matter how good your game might be.
Speaking about quality, how many of those 18k titles were uninspiring, asset flipping slop?
You can get comn banned for telling someone to go fuck themselves yet the characters in the game can swear all they want.
While in-game characters might swear, it’s typically in scripted scenarios that aren’t directed at people, let alone real people. Trash talking teammates is a whole different can of “swearing”.
I’ve been comm banned for telling someone to kill themselves because they said they were gonna rape my daughter and after I reported them for it “this activity doesn’t go against our ToS” was the response.
Telling someone to kill themselves crosses a boundary. I mean, so did their comment, but you should have left it at the report instead of trying to go eye for eye. Usually they troll and bait you into saying things that you can get banned for.
If the game is rated m for mature then mature content should be allowed.
Maturity in ratings refers to the content of the game. A mature label isn’t a green light for abusive behaviour, but a warning about the content.
That being said, I do agree that bans can be misjudged / unfair when put into perspective.
Actually, I searched some more and they did say things, so here’s a new post: https://lemmy.world/post/22975147
It is, all I found was this from October: https://domainnamewire.com/2024/10/09/io-domain-names-arent-going-away/
Dismantle and put all games and IPs in the public space for the crimes committed by the publisher. (and by that I mean actual crimes like sexual harassment, not making mid games).
It won’t happen because in today’s world, shit goes to the highest bidder instead of any social justice being delivered, but a donut can dream!
I’m afraid you’re gonna need to sideload an APK as you get no choice but the latest version with the official Play Store. Here’s the version before the latest: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla/firefox/firefox-132-0-2-release/
Thanks for confirming. I didn’t realize it was about a tablet. Have you checked the accessibility settings of Firefox mobile and played around with that?
Honestly, I’d check if there is an update or rolling back to a previous version to see if that changes anything. Troubleshooting can suck, but at least you know it’s Firefox as Chrome works fine.
I’m not gonna watch the whole video, so apologies if this is addressed in the video.
It’s not necessarily a problem of the engine. Sure, there are bugs, compatibility problems, regression, etc that will happen from time to time, setting back development milestones or simply just break existing games until they are patched.
But, the cause here is the people using the tools: AAA-studios have laid off so much staff that experts regarding UE(5) aren’t involved anymore. Plus, QA, and by extension optimization, has been hit hard too.
So you got developers who don’t fully know how to use the engine to its fullest, and a gutted QA department that won’t be able to get all the issues reported, tested and prioritized anymore.
Not super related, but a tidbit:
Depending on Amazon to reveal the release date of a video game (they don’t publish) is a dumb fucking idea
