Daft_ish, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

People vote for this guy.

SCmSTR,

This guy unfortunately and unironically exists and likely has more power than anybody on the fediverse.

First they came for the gamers, and I did not speak out, because I was busy hitting a sick 360° quickscope on Angel City.

SincerityIsCool, do games w There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps

I tried it out to see how it was coming along a year or so ago. It made Kenshi look polished.

Blackmist, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

Yes, that’s why they’re at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I’m sure they’d get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.

Lovecraftian doctor simulator? I guess I’ll read the article. My interest is piqued.

Gronk, do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

Probably a good time to start up a rival mod site that every one will flock too after these guys backpedal on their word.

Something synonymous with Nexus… CapitalMods anyone?

ijedi1234,

I miss Filefront.

SweetCitrusBuzz, do gaming w Byond game engine suffers a weeks-long DDoS attack, apparently because a wanna-be Bond villain is trying to force it to go open source: 'Attacks on Byond servers are a symptom of your obstinance'

We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.

They have an interesting concept of voluntary to be sure

Wow, yeah.

saigot,

I would be on board if they also hit unity or unreal but that is probably not really possible. As it is its really just feeding into monopolies.

fuzzywombat, do games w Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets

This is fourth time a confirmed plagiarism occurred at Bungie in recent years. There is also an ongoing lawsuit over accusation of Red War story theft. This isn’t some lone rogue employee issue. It’s a company culture issue originating from the top. I think Sony needs to step in and clean house to address the systemic problem.

X for doubt it’s become such an amazing project for him and us. He must still have plenty of ideas even now

JokeDeity, do gaming w Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO

My friends and I can always find 50 other apps for voice chatting, texting and screen sharing. What pisses me off royally is the thousands of companies/groups that decided instead of making forums or websites or GitHub pages, they would just host EVERYTHING from within Discord’s walled garden.

Scary_le_Poo,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

The thing is that discord has fostered fantastic communities in the way that forums never could have. I have personally witnessed no less than 5 communities that are thriving due to primarily using discord. Their forums were an utter shit show.

The fact that you can’t seem to understand why people have done this means that you do not understand the fundamental issue at hand.

JokeDeity,

Wild response. Why don’t you kindly suck both my dick and my balls?

Scary_le_Poo,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

Yes… mY rEsPoNsE was “wild”. Ok dude.

Zetta,

While it sucks for us users, I do hope discord will continue to get more and more shit and force these losers who chose to host documentation on Discord to rethink their choices.

Moving towards becoming a shit company, you mean.

stopforgettingit, do games w PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now

I am on a 6 year old computer playing 10 year old games. I don’t see a need to upgrade anytime soon.

HiroProtagonist,

I do hate being in the never ending upgrade cycle but the 10 year old games are limited, at least the ones I like to play.

Retropunk64,

I’m on a 5 year old computer playing 20-30 year old games. I’m good over here. 😂

stopforgettingit,

I bet WoW runs like a dream on that machine 😂

Retropunk64,

I haven’t tried it! That would be like giving a reformed crack addict a hit off the pipe. 😂 No way can I ever even consider going back to that game.

stopforgettingit,

If it makes you feel better, it will never be the same as it was when you first played. Every time there is a xpac that looks interesting I have tried and failed to get that feeling back. It devolves very quickly into feeling like a job again.

Retropunk64,

I just feel bad for my gnome warlock, endlessly flying around in purgatory on his magic carpet…

ytsedude, do games w Fields of Mistria adds lava caves and pets you unlock by having a 'pet dream'

Is this game worth checking out? Or does it need more time?

Quill7513,

this is also what i came into the thread wanting to know

tonytins,
@tonytins@pawb.social avatar

Article seems to think so, but I’m only hearing about it now myself.

caut_R, (edited )

I‘ve played 20 odd hours of the initial release version on my Deck and hadn’t hit its content cap. It ran smooth, I didn‘t encounter any bugs or crashes.

Gameplay-wise, it‘s more shallow in the farming aspect but cozier in its atmosphere compared to SDV. Personally, I had a lot of fun, probably the most in a farming sim after SDV. I loved the cast.

I‘ve read criticism that it‘s just a clone which even if true (IMO it‘s not), I don‘t think is a problem: I‘ve played so much SDV, I really needed a different flavor of farming sim (but without any extra BS) to get over the fatigue.

The initial release was already a good and competent game by its own merits, IMO. However, it’s not the second coming of farming sim Christ. This is just my 20 hours impression of the release version, it had two major updates since IIRC.

Suck_on_my_Presence,

I agree with the other reply. But as a fair warning, I’m not someone who really got sucked into Stardew. That being said, I think Mistria is much better. The characters are all fantastic and fun, the magic system is nice, and I love the museum / collections like Animal Crossing.

I haven’t played this update yet, but I’ve really enjoyed the time that I have sunk into the game.

lath,

More of the same. If you like that, then yes.

upandup, do games w WoW guild uses exploits to get world 'first' on new raid, gets banned, puts its name backwards and does it again

There are people who still admit to playing World of Warcraft to other people?

Yikes

tonytins,
@tonytins@pawb.social avatar

Eh, whatever makes them happy.

upandup,

I suppose. One of my favorite games is from 1992 and called ultimate underworld.

It was a far superior game regarding storyline, plot, and gameplay.

But I’m not here to yuck anyone. Although that is quite literally what I did.

HipsterTenZero,
@HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone avatar

That’s okay, I’m here to yuck someone. Blizzard is a fuck, don’t give them your sub money lol

upandup,

Can’t disagree with you there

nyctre,

There’s still private servers out there. You can play wow without giving blizzard money.

@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

Damn, lemmy is so good that it has a time machine to read comments from 2005!

upandup,

If people have been saying this for 20 years, then, yeah. Thanks for making my point for me.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

The only people saying this were Ultima players from 2005 before they tried and WoW and switched.

upandup,

Looks like I touched a nerve…

the_riviera_kid,

There are people who still whine about what games others enjoy? Yikes.

Krudler,

You are not yet aware that most people have severe self-worth issues?

upandup,

Nobody here is whining. I’m just surprised.

It’s OK if you understand that. No one will hate you for it, I promise.

Zorque,

Your track record of not hating people for their opinions is muddy at best.

upandup,

😬

Mac,

I play WooooW
Can’t nobody mess with me noooow
