phario, rok temu do games w Women Continue To Represent More Of The Gaming Audience, Especially On Switch

Women also make up 50% of PC video game players and 54 percent of mobile game players.

I find a lot of these figures really hard to believe, to be honest.

Looking at the link, there is little I can find about their methodology.

Legendsofanus, 18 godzin temu do gaming w Young Americans Are Spending A Whole Lot Less On Video Games This Year

On PC atleast, I hardly find it compelling to spend any money on games since you get a lot of stuff for free from promotions. I have a rule to spend only 1$~ on any one game and it has served me pretty well

Can someone explain what is a “cozy” game?

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, 5 miesięcy temu

think animal crossing, harvest moon, stardew valley, those games.

Venator, 5 miesięcy temu

I’ve not played harvest moon, but I found stardew valley and animal crossing a bit tedious… I guess people mean games that have a lot of small low stress tasks that don’t require much risk taking?

Loosely: Games that make you feel cozy.

Does not necessarily challenge the player, might not even set goals. Has a certain aesthetic that is not drab or dreary.

Stardew Valley is considered to be a cozy game, as an example.

Loosely: Games that make you feel cozy.

I’ve never noticed a game having that effect personally 😅

I always thought of the word cozy as describing your physical comfort level as opposed to mental 🤔

Lost_My_Mind, 5 miesięcy temu do games w Cozy Games May Help Improve Players' Mental Health, Researchers Say

Yeah, because we were all doing mentally fantastic when Animal Crossing New Horizons launched. Remind me again, when was that again? Oh right. Just in the heart of 2020 pandemic quarantine when everybody was losing their shit, and storming state capitol buildings trying to force the government to reopen businesses, and doing pushups outside gyms as cops killed black men and triggered riots across the country.

Great days for mental health.

SharkEatingBreakfast, 5 miesięcy temu

Yeah. And it allowed people to communicate and socialize without risk. It allowed people to have fun despite the dire circumstances and show off their creativity and goof off with friends amd stangers instead of focusing on the doom and giving into it.

It helped people’s mental wellness during a time where everything was not okay. To some, it made it bearable. That’s all. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

I, too, blame animal crossing.

This console generation is ending already? Like, logically I know it's been six years, but it still feels short for a console generation. Curious to see if the handheld rumors pan out and what confusing name they give it.

JimSamtanko, rok temu do games w Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset

Bethesda has chosen to make their shit exclusive to a console that is outsold by its completion 2:1.

They’re not exactly the bastions of good ideas.

ExMimic, rok temu

Microsoft owns Bethesda, so they probably didn’t have a choice

JimSamtanko, rok temu

They knew beforehand- and did it anyway:

ExMimic, rok temu

The article clearly states Microsoft chose to keep it off Playstation, not Bethesda.

JimSamtanko, rok temu

And it’s well know that Microsoft knew they were going to do that before Bethesda sold off to Microsoft. So again, they’re not making good decisions.

LunarLoony, rok temu

If you’re getting a big heap of money from Microsoft, who cares what decisions you make? (Playing devil’s advocate)

Halosheep, rok temu

What do you mean by this? I’ve played starfield on pc, is it exclusive to pc?

JimSamtanko, rok temu

Can you play it on a PS5? The console that I mentioned that is outselling the Xbox 2 to 1? And both FO and Elder Scrolls will be exclusive. Again, they’re not making good decisions over there.

I didn’t mention PC. What I’m talking about isn’t about PC. It’s about consoles and their decision to side with Microsoft and lose money.

Stovetop, rok temu

Well, it’s not siding with Microsoft, it is Microsoft. This is a Microsoft game.

JimSamtanko, rok temu

Was it a hostile takeover?

PoorlySketchedIdiot, rok temu

No, Microsoft simply bought them.

JimSamtanko, rok temu

So like I said… they knew what was going to happen. And allowed it. So… big brain ideas happening over there.

Well, if he doesn't care, then I just might bother the time and effort to pirate it. But then again, a dismissive creator who's working with Markiplier isn't someone I'm really keen on supporting in the first place. I wish him luck, and that he is approximately as successful as I am in financial terms.

It’d be great if they re-released sc2 but retconned most of the story to make it not flaccid and disappointing. WITH A BETTER ENDING FOR TYCHUS. TYCHUS WAS HILARIOUS.
