There’s a lot of neat stuff in here! Thanks for the link.

Because what they said was, They have game series like mega man that they refuse to Move past side scrolling, you play their games and they even leave out basic shit like “pick up item” animations and voice acting. Implying that the kind of games I like should have stopped existing as technology marched on.

So… they shouldn’t exist?

There was a 3D Megaman platformer. It was called Megaman Legends and it got a sequel, but for some reason they never made a third one.

Meanwhile… If you like the gameplay of Ratchet & Clank why not just play that? I like JRPGs but I’m not upset that Psychonauts isn’t a JRPG, for example…

I’m coming at this from the perspective of a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. The Genesis/Mega Drive platformers were peak. The 3D games were… well, some of them were okay, but all the money and effort that was poured into them meant that for a long time, Sega wasn’t making the kind of game I actually found fun. The problem with changing up the entire style of the game you make is that you’ll inevitably leave fans behind.

Is this a joke? Side-scrolling platformers are fun and not every game needs voice-acting.

Are you aware that GDQ is a fundraising event for charity?

So how is it any more of a waste of time than watching a regular stream?

Since OP isn’t the developer of the game, I don’t see how they could. Also it looks like a paid game.

Uh, are we not currently in a thread specifically talking about an October 7th game or…?

From the linked article:

Fursan al-Aqsa was released in 2022

Calling it “an October 7th game” is a neat little piece of propaganda though. Good job falling for it.

(Edit) Yeah, actually after taking a look at your profile, you’re not the kind of person I want taking up my mental energy.

Do you think Palestine sprung into existence on October 7? Why does every discussion of Israel being genocidal colonizers come down to an incident that happened decades after their oppression of Palestine began?

It has been removed in the EU on behalf of french anti-terrorist authorities. So this is an actual terrorism-concern and not just censorship.

Any support for Palestine is being called “terrorist” these days, so I’d rather make the judgment call for myself.

hey, a fellow linux user. Long-time or recent?

Been using Linux for 20 years.

I don’t even like this genre of game but I bought it (after downloading the demo to make sure it would run under Proton) because fuck this censorship.

(Edit) Just saw a post on Bsky claiming that “if you shoot soldiers who are surrendering, you lose”. Much evil, very terrorism.

What do you mean by “real world politics”? Don’t be shy, tell us.

But transgenders and pronouns were never ever a thing in the Dragon Age franchise, and now they suddenly feature these so prominently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krem_(Dragon_Age)

Every Dragon Age game has had pronouns because that’s how fucking language works. Your brain has just been poisoned by right-wing outrage over “pronouns”.

Also, “transgenders” isn’t a word. “Transgender” is an adjective, not a noun, not that I expect that to mean anything to someone who freaks out about “pronouns”.

What does this app do?

Holy shit, they remembered Eternal Blue exists.
