I’m team asteroid.

Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.

Which direction do I need to fart to up those numbers?

Sarcasm?

Idk about you but if it levels 1287 km² of forest, I don’t think that would exactly be good news for a populated area. On the upper range, it could be equivalent to a 40 megatonne bomb.

Provided it enters in a similarly uninhabited location.

Wow this is the most depressing comment section I’ve ever seen.

threelonmusketeers, 4 miesiące temu

Yeah, even for Lemmy this is bad. I hope most of them are semi-facetious?

it’s just standard “haha self harm funi”, it’s so easy to post and reliably gets a few upvotes, so it’s just a kneejerk response to posts like these.

Can we speed that up a bit?

Reading this headline instantly brought a huge smile to my face 😁

It’s exactly what I would expect from EA. They haven’t got a cent from me in years.

As long as FC and Ultimate Team keep being reliable money factories, you can expect them to continue half-assing everything else.

Nilz, 4 miesiące temu

Everything else? That’s implying FC and Ultimate Team aren’t being half-assed.

I expected there would be more „pay to win“ now.

Not surprised that it’s as bad as when they first re-released The Sims 2.

Is there any way to get it here sooner?

Archive it before EA finds it. Probably works better than the rerelease.

Archived. Of course they have no legal reason to take it down, but I’m sure that won’t stop them.

Megaman_EXE, 4 miesiące temu

Looks like EA found it already. Damn.

I hate when companies rerelease games in a worse state than the originals.

I was just thinking about going and finding the originals, but of course, the new rerelease is the only thing available to purchase. Is the “athletic lady” site the still the go to place? I have not gone sailing in quite some time

Can someone explain me what are the cloud saves for and achievements?

What is the point of gamifying a game?

barsoap, 4 miesiące temu

Cloud saves are for playing on more than one box as well as backup. Achievements, from the developer’s POV, give some insight into player behaviour, you can also drop hints there (I would never have tried to pet the manta in Satisfactory otherwise), make suggestions for tasks people can set themselves, etc. Whether you, as a player, cares honestly nobody but you gives a fuck.

I can tell you, for example, just from the achievement statistics, that a metric fuckton, an absolute majority, of Cities:Skylines players play modded. They do track city building milestones and very very few people are reaching anything even close to mid-game with achievements still enabled.

Thank you for the insight. I respect it but nonetheless those are features completely indiferen to me.
