As someone who grew up playing control decks in trading card games online… So many death threats from actual adults lmao… That being said, thanks to that now I don’t even see anyone who throws death threats, or wishes harm on people online as human beings. Has been great for disconnecting emotionally from overly aggressive people online as an adult now.

Not homosexual, but have noticed that all of my friends in same sex relationships have gotten together via apps. This is in Australia though, so the culture may be quite different from the US.

Cheers, I’ll give it a go. Unfortunately I’ll have to navigate my way through the Denuvo BS that Capcom loves shoving down our throats.

On the plus side I’ve been using the libreoffice suite and frankly speaking it’s more or less comparable to what Windows offers for my needs. Their excel equivalent feels really jank though.

Aight time to try and learn Linux for the 10th time and see if someone without strong console knowledge can use one now.

Depending on the tea, usually I like it plain no sugar, no milk. But I do make chai almost everyday with 2:1 milk to water and some ginger or cardamom depending on what I feel like. Also a fan of milk teas.

• story: garbage
• storytelling: garbage
• performance: garbage
• CAPCOM: garbage

But I tell you what, the world, exploration and gameplay they’ve put together, it’s all A+.

…people use wakestones? I’ve been saving aggressively and loading the last save …

Would you count NG+ as replayability? I know for Nier Automata and Armored Core 6, it’s basically part of the story and you haven’t finished until you’ve unlocked all of the main paths. There is enough new stuff each playthrough for it to be unique though.

Larian really knocked it out of the park having 3 studios around the globe so they can still have a 24hr workflow without pushing everyone to do overtime. I really want to know what their handover procedures are.

I’m back on the Grimdawn life. This game is like crack.

Used to use liftoff, but since it doesn’t appear to be maintained rn I’m on boost. Really liking it so far!

My problem is traditional consumer friendly sales model for digital games are already on the back foot. This ruling only works to dissuade any new or existing Devs from persuing that model over one with microtransaction.

If anything I want this method of purchasing digital content to be pushed further into any game with purchasable in game items to even the playing field.

Most people aren’t going through the effort of buying a physical game or any media these days, it’s why digital stores are so effective. But the other commenter did say that steam already has a 2hour refund window that basically has the same impact so I might have panicked for no reason.

Though my other point about micro transactions vs full box value still stands.

Lmao now we’re block chain gaming.

Fair call, didn’t think of that.

Because pirating games is not something that the majority of the population is either aware of or wiling to do due to perceived difficulty. This can be done through steam which is the biggest host of PC games and significantly less risky than going to some site and figuring out which copy of a game is legit.

Edit: I retract comment, other comment about the steam refund changed my mind.

I see a massive downside to this ruling as a gamer. This is talking about resale of a digital game. In reality what would happen is someone would download a game, copy the file to a harddrive, sell the “digital license” or whatever it’s called for a lesser amount and still own a copy of the game. It’s basically simplifying piracy.

This might actually necessitate game companies to have a hardline DRM approach to their games. Ironically the only games that are protected from this kind of resale are the those that heavily dipped in microtransactions since you can’t resell those and would push the market more in that direction.

IMHO this ruling is shortsighted and pushes for a future with increased monitisation that isn’t in the box value of the game and targets to hurt the Devs that make consumer friendly games while giving games with loot boxes and microtransactions an advantage in the market when talking in terms of overall sales for the devs.

Edit: My mind has changed from the piracy perspective. Still don’t like how this feels from the overall market perspective.

That River thing is just peak social commentary

From Wikipedia:

Cantor’s original budget was $12,000 (equivalent to $14,834 in 2022), provided by Maker Studios. When the production team continued “having more good ideas that we wanted to bring to fruition” like the aerialists and LaBeouf himself, Cantor provided the remaining $8,000 (equivalent to $9,889 in 2022).
