Thank you for the details!

I definitely wouldn’t recommend tweaking a legal document without the advice of a lawyer, especially when it’s not in your native language, but hopefully the project will raise enough funds that you’ll be able to hire someone to do that soon though! Fitness games are good ideas, and the art here looks real cute.

From the Privacy Policy:

Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

I was asking for clarification about the last line.

Looked over your privacy policy and it seems pretty reasonable. I was curious about how location is used though - could you give me the gist of what kind of in-game features I might miss out on by denying location permissions?

I found only one of them myself, it was the warehouse elevator one, and so when I looked at the door it was at 90 degrees to the other one, so I thought I only needed to find two. Looked it up and I was VERY mistaken.

Funniest thing is I did the first part of the astral bathroom one unintentionally. Chucked a cube at a discolored piece of wall around a corner and it disappeared. Looked closer and it was a bathroom instead of the receptacle I was expecting… didn’t put two and two together.

That one secret with the cubes, I have no idea how anyone was supposed to stumble upon that.

I am highly skeptical of that. There are plenty of hobbyists making new things in ancient environments. I just don’t think Nvidia has ever been very competent at software engineering (drivers excepted as they’re in a very different domain)

I mean, my point is there’s no reason they should be overhauling it entirely (at the cost of performance) when they could just pay some competent Windows programmers to un-shit the existing Control Panel. Yeah its UI sucks but it’s not going to make you drop frames for just having it open

I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed

The cost of having to have an account to get “easy” driver updates always seemed a bit high to begin with. I never really found its game optimization profiles to be useful either.

Bellular News did a decent video in the aftermath. https://youtu.be/sMTqibwya1k

*glances at publisher I’m sure close proximity to the Annapurna drama hasn’t helped this creator’s mental health along the way

Got a little mixed up there, I recalled hearing that Larian already had plans for their next game after BG3 but my brain incorrectly autofilled Witcher as what that game was - that’s not even the right developer. Silly brain.

After Larian is done with The Witcher 4 whatever their next project(s) are, they should pair up. Infinite money glitch

edit: dumb

Sort of procedural, yes - if you are alleging something and the evidence that would support that was destroyed by the other party, the court can make an adverse inference which basically means the court assumes the destroyed evidence would have proved your point.

Then that pretty much defeats the purpose of physical media, people will be out in droves angry that they can’t play their new games offline or have to day 1 patch, etc

There’s no perfect solution here.

people play games prior to release all the time, the major issue here is streaming it. (and uh directly antagonizing nintendo didn’t help)

We know. It wasn’t funny.

When you distribute physical copies of games to stores, I don’t think it’s really practical to prevent physical copies from getting taken inappropriately 100%

There is a slightly more expensive family version of NSO that you can add up to 8 users to

Not defending their practices, but I don’t think it’s scamming when it’s just openly a really shit deal and both parties agree

Nintendo W?

where is my wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man FPS where you are leaning randomly all the time uncontrollably

Elite:Dangerous is sad for its own reasons, too, and I have a similar count of hours logged. Glacial pace of development and a lack of strong game design / sense for balance. I’m still stunned by how much of a selling point the background simulation was, and how limited it actually is in practice (it did get some love over the years, but far too little too late IMO.)

Undertale gives you the option of being kind to nearly everyone you meet, and you can befriend several characters as well.

Good looking out

From the site:

DarkPattern.Games is a brand new website. We are starting with iOS and Android games because this is where most dark patterns appear, but we will be adding other platforms soon. Because we are new, we have a lot of games that don’t have any reviews yet. This will improve over time and we are working hard to get games reviewed. Please help us by finding a familiar game and submitting a review.

“Expedite” as in “oh shit oh god oh fuck we assigned that to Steve in accounting and then laid him off and forgot about it”

Hope that artist sues.

Now this is a real oldie but a goodie. Glad to see that it is mostly unknown from the ratio. Obligatory downvote

Oh no, the author passed away? I remember enjoying this and wanting to check back later when it was more finished.

This is a fantastic game. I haven’t finished it; I screwed myself over by losing patience and skipping content near the end and wound up stumbling into the final boss so underpowered that I effectively softlocked myself. I should play this through again and stick to a completionist play style.

Looks like “Cube World but actively maintained”, could be interesting

This is SOLID GOLD holy shit

edit: OKAY I FINISHED THE FIRST CASE ABSOLUTELY PLAY THIS

This sounds really interesting. I’m gonna put this on my wishlist in hopes it goes on sale or something. Can’t justify $25 right now due to circumstances.

I had a good amount of fun with this game, it’s a shame I have to downvote it. It was a little difficult to get into at first, but I stuck with it and had a lot of fun. I chose to develop a big-ass ship like you speak of and eventually became a lumpy Death Star knockoff.

Oh that’s a shame. Back to waiting for Half-Life 3 then.

Skyward Sword in particular was pretty linear despite technically having a literal ‘overworld’ of sorts.

It hasn’t aged too badly, but it’s from an era where you were not necessarily expected to figure everything out on your own – talking about it with IRL friends or reading tips and tricks in a magazine (or on the early Internet/Usenet) were pretty normal. I would say give it a try but don’t be hesitant to look for a guide if you get stuck or lost.
