that you don’t necessarily own the games you buy on Steam.

That’s the case for nearly every storefront. Besides, there’s a lot of games on Steam that actually are DRM-free, it’s just not advertised.

Of course, Nintendo is almost certainly never going to bring their games to PC. I am a sucker for Zelda or Metroid, so I usually have a Nintendo console of some sort.

There’s always emulators

User at the top said they didn’t like the game, despite giving multiple tries.

Then you come in below them going “oh but ackshually it’s a masterpiece”

It’s the worn out story of the fanboys never being able to let other people dislike their favorite thing. If you can’t understand how that’s shitty, then it’s a you problem. Fuck off.

Says the person being nasty in the rest of their comment history.

Get over yourself, hypocrite

No. The kind of Mean Girls esque “polite assholery” of the previous comment needs to be addressed and called out for what it is.

The people that make those kinds of comments think they’re being nice when they really aren’t. If nobody points it out to them in a way that sticks out they’ll just keep doing it

Dude, just let them not like the fucking game. “Oh no! There’s a piece of criticism about the game! I must make a long-winded reply to make sure to balance it back out”.

Just stop.

Part of me is really confused they’re called “Endings”.

It’s just the writer being a pretentious twat

I thought it was shit overall, and was about 3 “playthroughs” in by the tine I finally dropped it

Warframe makes a point of making everything earnable in game, always.

Well… There is one famous exception to that (Excalibur Prime), but that’s because the people who got it literally saved the company from tanking

Palworld weren’t forced to make those changes. They did it to avoid injunctions from stopping sales during the precedings.

Also, the majority of the cases are still ongoing. Both in the US and in Japan

And, somehow, fucking won.

No, they haven’t won a single patent case yet. And there’s still ball throwing in the game, but only for captures. The summoning via ball throwing was removed so that Nintendo couldn’t file an injuction against Pocketpair to stop their sales during the case.

If Pocketpair wins the court cases, they can undo the removals.

Don’t forget that these patents (or modifications of existing patents) were made after Palworld released.

Nintendo and their lawyers are scumbags

They also tried to patent riding monsters as well, which is insane seeing that horseriding had been a thing for millenia

Fuck off with this. If Palworld ripped off Pokemon, then Pokemon ripped off Dragon Quest

Quit licking corpo boots

Most pals are “legally distinct” monsters

Fuck off which this. Pokemon pulled the same shit when they copied Dragon Quest with the first games

Pokemon has that copyrighted or something.

Patented, which is even dumber

More like Epic, Sony, and/or Microslop

Fuck off, bootlicker

policing only those in arm’s length

Dude, you’re on Lemmy. Do you not realize how many people on here are saying “fuck it, let’s drop Google and Microslop and stick with FLOSS”? How many people on here are trying to convince others to switch too?

These people are already doing what they can to steer the entire tech space in the right direction. But it’s hard to influence the giants directly. To do that, you need good FLOSS alternatives, which doesn’t work if those alternatives start riddling themselves with slop

It’s going to get better that it is today and we’re going to have to live with it.

Just shut up with this line.

Every piece of human-made code that’s available online has already been trawled hundreds of times, and anything new doesn’t get added often. There are no more examples for AI agents to use in training that weren’t used before. Their progress in generating code is plateauing.

AI generated code is still notorious at hallucinating API calls and making code that doesn’t work. And the code that does work tends to be overcomplicated and unoptimized. And this code isn’t easily maintainable because the “developers” weren’t involved in its production.

I give it about 3 weeks until they put a different DRM in it

LLMs are a technological dead end and will never be the path towards AGI. The AI bubble is fuelled exclusively by overly wealthy gambling addicts like Sam Altman.

You claim the “AI bro” accusation is the loss of logic. Go look at the fucking market right now, it’s completely irrational. It’s the AI investors that have killed any logic going on.

The AI bros just continually ignore this because they’re idiots. If you’re going to back them up you’re just as much of a dumbfuck as them

Unfortunately they’re just a fucking AI-bro. Not worth your time

this is the sort of tech that science fiction has been dreaming of for decades.

No it isn’t. LLM’s are a fucking technological dead end and will never reach AGI’s.

Quit sucking off Sam Altman and go look into actual AI research, douchebag

and see more of those people than more of people like you.

Doubt.

Most likely, they think they’ll see larger increase in sales from those people than lost sales on Steam

Literally braindead take

Best they can do is slap DRM on a 10 year old game

the one monster collector

Dude, you don’t have to disparage other games to promote another. And there’s plenty of other games that do get monster design right. Go look at Coromon or Palworld.

And while LumenTale looks good, I’m not fully sold on the creature design. A lot of it looks overly detailed, like the newer Pokémon games, like everything has swirls and/or spikes.

There’s something to the phrase “less is more”. An overall simpler design with 1-2 defining features does a much better job at making a particular creature design stand out, even amonst a large roster. If everything has tons of details and flair, they all start blurring together.

Personally, I think creature aethetics that are closer to Gen 3 or 4 Pokémon strike the best balance. And some people would argue with me on that point and claim that Gen 2 or even Gen 1 designs are the best. And you know what? That’s fine. People can like what they like because it’s subjective.

And no, that last part isn’t contradicting my first part. I’m giving reasons as to why someone might not like the newer style. For some it’s not a factor, for others it’s a big deal.

Does watching Twitch through GrayJay get around this?

Can you be any more of an insufferable douchebag? Any time you bother to chime in you rival even paid Russian trolls

Not only that, Arceus is terribly empty

You could have just chosen to not say dumb shit if you didn’t want people to downvote you. But here we are.

Quick FYI: it’s Elder Scrolls VI, you added an extra ‘I’ by accident

And eventually companies will hopefully start cancelling those subscriptions to move to Open Office or Libre Office.

France is already starting that push by having government departments transition first, and are projected to save millions of euros in licensing fees each year. Once you get a critical mass of users on libre software, it’ll hopefully spread on its own

Despite the division they’re closing making way more money (aka > $0) than the one she was moved from

https://movim.eu/

It’s based on XMPP, which means it’s open-source, federated, and has E2EE in private chats. It also supports video calls, including in groups (which most other Discord alternatives have problems with).

Also, there’s no phone number or even email requirement to sign up. You can set a recovery email, but you can skip that step during setup. Just pick a server, username, and password

The main thing it’s missing right now is “places” aka what Discord calls servers/guilds. But they’re currently working to roll that feature out soon

What about USB?

Movim seems like a much better option, they just need a few weeks to get a couple of extra features out

The reboot was a perfect example of why you should just let some series have their satisfying ending and leave it at that

For the past 15 years, the hardware costs have been subsidized by both online subscriptions and storefront cuts for digital purchases.

That being said, consoles haven’t been sold at a loss for multiple generations now. They’ve mainly been cheaper due to economies of scale
