Those are from the beginning of corporations, we don’t need to look to speculative fiction. The British East India Company waged literal war against rival corporations.


the way that he has to try out gameplay changes in order to evaluate their “fun”

…that’s everyone. Even people who are full of shit and pretend otherwise.

Inb4 “but but but what about shutting your dick in the oven door, do you need to try that to know if you like it?” It’s not the same as this context and you know it.


What are you talking about? He was opposed making Diablo real-time, but he personally implemented real-time combat and tried it out, and then changed his mind. It’s not fair to say “perhaps he’s not the best authority” when is the one who actually made the change from it being fantasy X-COM to a real-time ARPG, and did it using the platinum standard of the fair shake.



OSRS has obliterated my sense of what constitutes a grind. I’ve communities for other games tearing their hair out over a 1/300 drop.


Why would they? Car manufacturers have sued Chinese state companies for producing identical rip-offs and Chinese courts invariably rule that they look nothing alike whatsoever. Suing China for blocking you is not only going to have 0% chance of success, it also carries a decent chance of being told that you’re not blocked at all and it must be your problem.



I think you’re talking past me a little. I’m saying the state of Russia now isn’t materially different from Cuba, Laos, North Korea et al


It’s a failed state where the tinpot dictator who runs it is also a gangster who runs rackets out of all national industries. That’s the only kind of state that Communism has ever produced, so you might as well call it that.




The real news story here is that The Elder Scrolls Legends existed in the first place.



You don’t need a separate account to play Leagues or any other temporary game modes. You are correct however that you do need to pay a separate membership for each character unless you’re okay with that character only being able to do F2P activities.


So you’re saying it’s the perfect game to get for playing while AFKing redwoods in old school runescape


game the sex scene are often at the stranges and dumbest times. It breaks the tone and pacing of the story all the time

I’m sorry to say this is very faithful to the books.



Why would anyone give Blizzard a single red cent at this point? Signing up to be bored and get robbed.


Yes.

I am aware that this would kill SaaS overnight, that’s an intended feature.


A law like this would effectively kill all licensed software that isn’t a full product

What I’m hearing is: this law needs to be a constitutional amendment.



Yeah, they’re trying to say “I’m so deep, give me money”. I seriously doubt the number of autuer-driven art-first video games breaks out of the margin of error


There are lots of identical indie games, usually found in the forms of pixel shit, asset-pack Unity crafters, and melodramatic walking simulators.


Roger Ebert also wrote an article staking his position that Star Wars Episode 1 deserved 3½ out of 4 stars, which makes it somewhat odd to see a website bear his name at all.



They already did it as a minigame that nobody cared about in the Link’s Awakening remake.




I wonder how many of the 37K people playing now are actually real and not bots the publisher is using to fluff the numbers. Maybe I’ve become overly cynical but at this point I assume there’s already a “LowSodiumTheDayBefore” subreddit, and a bunch of accounts posting that “stop having FUN” comic on social media and claiming they have no issues with the game and that everyone who criticizes it is entitled, and screenshots of text-generated death threats being spammed to the developers, and a pre-written “please bear with us” letter


“AI’s idea of what constitutes a human face is the kind of face most frequently considered human by AI”


DOA. Of course, like all Google services, this only exists to get some fresh new analytic data and will be closed dovn .04 femtoseconds after they reach the point of diminishing returns.



Sure. But if you know your product is going to be trash, why not jump ahead of the curve and victimize yourself to start with? It’s not difficult to do these days, and why wouldn’t you do it? Altruism? At this point, not assuming this happens is just naive.


I would say what’s next is preemptively decrying death threats, but they already do that when they preemptively fabricate the death threats.


That has got to be one of the most miserable jobs you can do with a white collar. Imagine trying to asspull Watsonian explanations for questions that only have Doylist answers to people who will mail you anthrax if you just tell them the truth, which is that Nintendo doesn’t give a shit about lore.


/b/ took a big shit in summer 2007 and hasn’t been anywhere near as good since then, and it wasn’t even good before then. The rest of the site, especially the smaller SFW boards, has decent content if you know where to look. /po/ is one of the best places online for papercrafting and origami, for example




Broke: T-Mobile denies new data breach rumors, points to authorized retailer

Woke: T-Mobile denies new penetration rumors, fingers authorized retailer


That’s public information and it’s very basic information. Anyone running a business knows to check to make sure anyone they form a partnership with is a legitimate business, the same way you know not to hire a sore-covered meth addict from Facebook marketplace to redo your floors. The fact that they were using proprietary software was already a red flag anyway,

By the way, yes I’m aware you’re just sealioning, no I’m not going to engage with it.
