It’s an ironic line to start with.



Not liking racist ≠ " I love [insert corporation here]". More than one bad thing can exist in the world simultaneously.


I haven’t delved too deep into the shitshow that followed that game, and I know it’s convoluted as hell, but it seems like that’s referring to previous associates of the studio, not the studio itself. The page mentions Martin Luiga in association with it, for whatever that’s worth.


I can sympathize with that. The whole game is intentionally bleak and rough, which can be pretty off putting (though it does make the few nice parts exceptionally nice). The devs made a pretty overt choice to focus more on being fairly confrontational art rather than being particularly accommodating to the player.


That’s not an inaccurate description. Though context is important - most of the characters know yours through behavior and actions that neither you or the character remember. A lot of the game is playing with how you handle that.


Mine’s the grim reaper hallway meme and half finished games.


Why does matter. A lot. Just pointing to something and saying it’s a problem doesn’t help. You need to know why it happened to have any chance of changing things. That you and epic both apparently think throwing cash around should solve it suggests little will actually be done.


It’s always wild to see Valve be blamed for another company shooting themselves in the foot (or in this case, yet another company entirely).


Probably, but it hasn’t been on the table yet. Saying that it was is just going to hurt valid criticism.


To be clear, that was not a thing. Just the PSN account doesn’t require payment. The subscription is for playing in MP and (I think) access to online media like yt.


Hah, yeah. I’m pretty prolific at filling up my drives as well. Should still help, though!


If only there were a way to connect to a network without an intermediary like PSN. Damn shame that it’s impossible.



Just nabbed 4tb of ssds. Happy to not have to do this anymore (for a while).



Hilarious that this happens the week of the 5090 release, too. Wonder if it’ll affect things there.


Do you always argue with people that agree with you? How is that helpful?



To note, at one point in the interview he said it’d be funny to come back at the age of 90 and add an update. He’s not saying SD will be his only focus until then, he’s saying he will go back to it over time, presumably with different projects interspersed throughout.


Because the owner of the overarching app will make more money and have more control. Don’t you want that for them? /s


Not many opportunities arise to use the word properly - that industry was decimated.



Not exactly “interesting” - he’s just deeply narcissistic. Here’s a handy guide:

"That didn’t happen.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

(Current story sits here)

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not my fault.

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it."



I suspect neither company wants to piss him off, but holy shit, that would be *chefskiss*




They did. And they’re already are rolling it back, specifically thanking trump for helping to “restore service”. It was all a political stunt, and nobody’s gonna care cause their skinner button got turned back on again.


Or “the company might get pissy with your government for any reason”. No reason to let them off the hook, either.



In most cases, acquisition seems to work out poorly for indie studios, but ND has certainly made good use of Sony’s resources while they’ve been there. I’m just glad I get to play their games finally.


Yeah, the pvp part kills it for me, too. If it was something like, “pve, but the map changes based on other players actions” (eg more guards at a place that just got hit, targeted defenses to recent tactics, etc), that would have been more interesting, imo.


For real. I hardly ever pay attention to AAA stuff at this point. Indie gaming has been good eating for a while now and only seems to be getting better.


If you remain fixated on the idea that your way to relax is gone, you’ll never be able to find a new way. Life changes, for good and bad. It’s on us to make the best of it.


Black Flag was/is such an enjoyable game. I always wanted the option to have an npc take the helm so I could head up to the crows nest and just chill out, watching the sea pass by and listening to the crew sing shanties while we sailed off to wherever. Still holding out some slim hope that some modder will randomly take up the task some day, hah, though it seems like the modding options for BF are very limited, judging by what’s available.


Unnecessarily long

Lol. “How dare you give me a comprehensive explanation of specifically what I asked about! Rude!” What is rude is being so shitty to someone that went out of their way to try and help you understand something, acting like it was a personal insult. How selfish and demanding of you.


So lying about looking into it. Got it.


And yet you say it’s cause of “gambling”. So you’re either lying about looking into it or lying about what you saw.
