Cali is a hit or miss, the Cali privacy reg has been so watered down compared to the GDPR it feels like the ad industry got it in to prevent future harsher regulations.
I’m so tired of this shit. I don’t care if people can’t handle their shit. Their problem, not mine. If I want to gamble I can gamble. I don’t care if some shitty parent is letting their kids gamble. Nanny state bullshit.
Gambling is heavily regulated in most countries, often including requiring the odds of winning being clearly listed and regulating the profit margin that The House can take (usually limited to less than 10%)
Many casinos and developers of addictive games will hire psychologists and other experts on human condition to help them find ways to make the game more addictive and make it easier to seperate players from their money. These “dark patterns” both make gaming worse and make it more dangerous for anyone unfortunate enough to develop an addiction.
In short, I welcome regulation on the worst aspects of the game industry to keep the worst aspects from become too financially successful to not implement (see the $60 AA and AAA games that launched with lootboxes and predatory micro-transactions like this one about 10 years ago before some countries announced they were investigating regulating such practices)
If you think preventing predatory practices through legislation is a “nanny state” then I think you fail to understand the purpose of a government in a society with profit-driven companies
I do empathize but your mental health isn’t my responsibility. If you don’t wear a seatbelt I didn’t give a fuck. But let’s take your strawman a bit further, video games have been shown to cause agressiness and anti social behavior. Do you support banning them all? What is, in your opinion, where the state should step in to protect people from themselves.
What the fuck kind of name is “Mobile Legends Bang Bang”? It’s like they give it a whole 5 seconds to come up with that name. It’s like they don’t even care.
The first two ratchet and clank games. I also copied the iso for the third game from the disc so I will be playing UYA next. After that I am going to make a copy of Gladiator/Deadlocked and play that.
Powstał anarchistyczny sztab kryzysowy we Wrocławiu. Ogarniają go ludzie z Hulajpola oraz Wolnej Biblioteki i innych kolektywow ale pewnie będzie w chuj rzeczy do robienia na miejscu więc wątpię żebyśmy byli w stanie informować na bieżąco co się dzieje.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection in my Nintendo Switch.
I was hesitant about playing it as a collection/remake as I already have the game loaded in my DS with the fan translation (at least I skipped the complaints about the change of the character names 😆), and I have played all the prior Ace Attorney games in DS/3DS and I am much more a handheld user than a console user, but I have been liking the improvements that the remake has, and playing it in the big TV has been pretty comfortable for me with this title, perhaps the bigger screen for text is the best reason.
I've been getting back into playing The Finals lately. Kinda similar to Splitgate, in that the mechanics are easy to understand and mastering them will yield you a lot of fun and victory. The movement is very snappy, there's a lot of variety in how you can play, and matches are relatively quick.
It's an objective-based shooter, so you won't win just by getting kills; you have to complete a specific goal before your enemies to actually win. So it's a bit like Overwatch or TF2 in that regard (kinda dated references, I know) in terms of goals and a player's abilities. And the gunplay feels very much like Battlefield, which would make sense because ex-DICE devs worked on this game, I believe. It's also got crossplay.
It's got a seasonal/live service model for cosmetics. The battle pass and any other MTX are all only for cosmetics, though; unlocking weapons/abilities can only be done through gameplay, with no skip mechanics. So no weapons, abilities, maps, game modes, etc can be bought with real money at all. Figured I'd mention, since I know that's a turnoff for a lot of people, but I've been enjoying it as a free player.
Right… Splitgate and splitgate 2 are lies. What you experienced are probably mostly if not all bit matches instead of playing with and against other players. But that is besides the question.
Realistically there have been no actual good games in that niche in recent years (less than 10 years old) and the old ones are either dead unless you like botmatches or have a tiny community that is really REALLY good and will wipe the floor with you.
Anyhow Quake 3 (good luck) Tribes 2 (good luck) Unreal tournament 2004 (good luck obtaining legally, also good luck) Halo (LoL last decent one was reach on 360) There’s more but those are even more niche than the big ones already listed.
Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 are great. Then the franchise was purchased by 343 and everything since has been a soulless COD clone with a Halo skin… and a random RTS.
Lunacid, great lil’ game until you decide to try and get all the achievements.
Ending spoilersThe one thing I don’t really like is how all of the world building is more or less inavlidated by the classic “it’s just a dream bro”.
Yes, the dreamer is supposedly an eldritch being, but I’d like to appreciate all the tiny little lore connections you can find without the looming threat of “this doesn’t make sense because it’s all a dream”. Like with skeletons.
Why skeletons?
All enemies in the game have some sort of explaination, from the simple “this is a fog beast” to “holy knights cursed themselves and became abominable horses, tainting vampire cattle and turning their captors into the puddle of harm that currently stands in your way”. But skeletons?
They don’t have any explaination, unlike the mummies of the Temple of Silence - they’re just nondescript undead enemies where undead enemies thematically fit. The dreamer put them there, because it’s a dream.
