TehPers,

Why would they stop working with Roblox? It’s the perfect platform for their execs to use when they’re looking to cheat on their SOs.

Porn is too heavily regulated for them, so they don’t like it. To begin with, it has a minimum age requirement that’s much higher than Roblox.

Payment processors (and any banks that are a part of it) can’t really be hated more than they already are. It’s amazing how much someone can fuck over society as a whole without any remorse. Narcissists and psychopaths I guess. I hope I see the companies cease to exist at some point during my life, and not be replaced with something worse (or equally as bad).

GTFO is technically balanced for 4 players so it might be difficult to handle as a duo, but is a pretty good co-op horror-y shooter.

Katana314,

I negative-one that recommendation. Game is very hard to play well when you’re new; I’m used to lots of games in that style and GTFO was impossible; always hard to tell what players should be doing and is very unforgiving. Unless both players are hardcore gamers I wouldn’t recommend it.

This whole pedo affair is only the final nail in the coffin of morality for Shitblox. From a gaming perspective, the outrageously predatory (pun intended) microtransactions and Robux currency do absolutely not belong on a children‘s gaming hub where probably >50% of players don‘t even have a real understanding of money yet. And parents don‘t care, as we see with social media in general. Apple pay, google pay etc. make it purposefully easier to make repeated card payments by children using their parent‘s info. In this economy btw, so Uh-Oh thats baaaad. Just shut the whole circus down and buy your kids single player games on steam sale.

C&C Red Alert 2

I played it as a kid 25 years ago, but Day9 was replaying it recently and I had to go back and try it. It’s so good, especially the campy live action cutscenes 🤌. There was definitely a lot of humor that went over my head as a kid 😂.

  • odruch odróżniania się, np. pokoleniowego (“przesadnie” poprawne interpunkcja, ortografia itd. jako oznaka boomerstwa) czy “swobodnościowego” (oznaka kujoństwa, nerdostwa),
  • zakwestionowanie arbitralności (czy na pewno rygorystyczna interp. itd. jest niezbędna dla zrozumiałości komunikatu?),

  • “rozmycie znaczeniowe” wiadomości i toku myślenia – mam wrażenie, że niektórym osobom precyzja, jednoznaczność myśli i wypowiedzi oraz konieczna dla ich utrzymywania samodyscyplina – kojarzą się z opresją, stresem, nie są naturalne.

nothing was done then. Probably same thing is going to happen here. MAYBE roblox gets slightly better modderation, but i doubt it. The inceased modderation could also make the game unplayable for innocent users.

Worst part is that its such a lose lose situation roblox shutting down will remove acess to alot of the hard work the child slave devs did keeping the platform alive. People are going to miss roblox join private servers and boom back at square one. Club Penguin all over again.

I watched a bit of the content creator schlep and was honestly disapointed with how THIS type of content is what triggered this whole debacle. There have been plenty of other people exposing issues prior to this. but i guess if you put a scary thumbnail and read all the chat logs as if youre edging the whole time… whatever gets the preds off the intetnet ig I can at least be happy that people are FINALLY talking about it again.

People have been kidnapped! For fucks sake.

Finishing up an Archipelago for Inscryption

Gonna be playing Animal Crossing New Leaf for a few day

Gonna finish the last hour or so of Pokemon Rumble Blast and check that off my backlog. I’d say it’s a fun game for most people that falls under incremental and hack-and-slash. Not sure what I’ll move onto next

_Lory98_, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 17th

Finishing Persona 3 Reload. Story-wise it’s still my favourite among the (modern, at least) Persona games and I liked the new additional events. For the gameplay, I’m disappointed that it’s P5 system again and the new mechanics (theurgies) are overpowered. The game is a bit too easy, even on merciless.

Played a bit of Trails of Cold Steel III, but it feels more of the same of CS1. I’m considering dropping the series, as I can’t imagine it’s ever going back to Sky/Crossbell quality.

I heard its “slow” compared to past mario karts. Care to comment on that? I’ve also been holding off on a switch2, I just can’t justify the upgrade yet.

Stovetop, (edited )

I wouldn’t say it’s “slow” per se, but it does feel different, and in some ways I believe it’s not as good as its predecessors.

One consideration is that it does not have the 200cc mode that MK8 added after the fact. It’s currently (maybe permanently?) at the default max speed of 150cc.

The biggest difference for me though is the courses. Previous MK games use circuit courses, where you start at the finish line and you race in 3 or more laps in a circle that returns to the same finish line. MK8 fleshed out a bit more by incorporating lengthy straightaway courses, where you start at point A and race to point B, with laps being more like checkpoints along the way. But the majority of tracks in MK8 were still circuits.

Mario Kart World, on the other hand, is primarily straightaway style tracks with only a small smattering of circuits, because it’s attempting to integrate everything with the open world map they made, and those tracks also feel like they have less character. The majority of races feel harder to pace because most of them do not repeat themselves, and there’s less opportunity to learn a lap and do better on the next one within the same race.

There’s also the fact that they doubled the number of characters in each race compared to MK8. MK8 had 12 racers per course, MKW has 24. All of those racers are still picking up items, still tossing red shells and blue shells everywhere, still spamming lightning, etc., so it feels a lot more chaotic.

Accommodating that aspect is the fact that it now takes 20 coins to hit max speed instead of 10, because they assume you’re going to get hit by more things that you can’t avoid, so it can take longer to ramp up your speed from the beginning of the race.

Final notable difference that may contribute to a feeling of “slowness” off the top of my head is that you no longer choose parts of a kart like you did in MK8. You simply choose a racer and choose a cart, and your stats are based only on a combination of those two factors. It is more difficult to optimize for things like acceleration, max speed, and turning because you can no longer mix and match parts that exactly fit your stat preferences.

All of this is just my opinion from having played it, but I think that MK8 is still the better Mario Kart game. Just considering how content-dense it is after years of DLC, and the fact that it still runs well on Switch 2, tells me that it’s still worth keeping around and still a good go-to for Mario Kart nights with friends. MKW is still a fun game, and I’d recommend it for Mario Kart fans looking to change things up a bit, but it tried a lot of new things and not all of them work as well as I think they could have.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I agree with your last point. Mario Kart 8 will probably be my go to for casual friends. I appreciate World trying to experiment but it needs a bit to grow into it’s shoes and figure things out I think

caut_R,

Not OP. I certainly think it is slower, especially with the absence of 200cc, but I also don‘t make much use of grinding/walldriving so I‘m likely a lot slower than I could be. I just generally like MK8 more since a lot of the tracks really have that „this is a filler track between tracks“ feeling to them for me. YMMV.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I had a friend give it a try too. I personally didn’t notice a difference (but also my go to Mario Kart is 64). But he plays a lot of 8 deluxe and kept commenting on how slow it is.

I really like the switch 2, and with my switch 1 being broken for me. It’s much more of a “Buy a new switch 1, and a $100 investment into the new system”. I think I will get one soon, but I think I’m gonna hold off for a bit just to see what exclusive it’s gonna get, because the ones I’ve seen aren’t very appealing to me.

Kyle_The_G,

good call. I’ll wait for a few more games to come out then maybe pull the trigger later. I’m busy going through a catalogue of unplayed games like ace attorney and luigi’s mansion (I’m playing couch coop with my significant other through the stories of games we found on sale).

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Damn. You just reminded me I need to pick up Ace Attorney again. I played it on my 3DS, got to the second game, then dropped it and proceeded to be it on 3 separate systems. I really should pick it up again because it was so much fun
