Hmmm? The UK isn’t part of the EU anymore so they won’t have much impact lol.

biggerbogboy,

That’s why it was a completely separate, smaller one

finitebanjo,

Just threw me for a loop for a moment that it uses the same name and that this page displays links to both.

biggerbogboy,

thats fair enough, it was a bit confusing for me at first too.

Good job UK ! Now cancel Brexit and vote for the EU one !

copd,

not quite sure how you expect to cancel anything which already happened

echodot,

The hostility from the EU about the UK rejoining (especially from France) tells me that’s not likely to happen.

SkunkWorkz,

Good. States shouldn’t be able to just go out on a whim and immediately go back in again like it’s a revolving door. The consequences should be severe for leaving. Otherwise voters in other member states will pull this shit as well, because they think they can just rejoin when the next pro EU government comes around. Also many voters in the UK voted for leave as a protest vote not because they actually wanted to leave. They didn’t understand the ramifications of their vote. Let the UK be the example of what a protest vote can cause.

echodot,

Surely the opposite should be true. It just shows that countries cannot leave the EU because it is far too damaging to their economy

Hmm I’m not sure using gacha games which are designed for addictive gameplay loops and predatory monetisation being the games that your kid prefers over standalone experiences is a good argument to make

Perhaps this is a weird part to single out, but it surprised me

I mainly played on the 3DS from when I was 6 until I was 15, so I don’t have as much experience with other consoles.
[…]
The 3DS was simply Nintendo’s best era, and I don’t think we’ll see anything like that again given the current direction of their latest consoles…

Curious if others agree. I would’ve thought that it would be the SNES era, but that’s probably betraying my age more than anything.


Great article! On par with gaming publications, and actually probably better than most Nintendo Power articles I remember from back in the day. Great job!!

Daughter3546,

I guess nostalgia really is one hell of a drug. I am in my 30s and I view the GBA and NDS as the best Nintendo consoles.

30s. GameCube, gameboy colour, n64, and xbox360. If I had to pick one it’d be n64.

Rofl this is what I most disagreed with as well. 3DS certainly had some bangers, but I think many would list it among the weakest first-party lineups

alk,

I’m in my 30’s and I think I agree with this. The amount of bangers for the 3ds is insane, and the virtual console lineups on both the 3ds and wii u were unmatched any time before or after. Even today, the 3ds is the best console to buy used and hack. You have QR-code access to ALL titles, including virtual console titles. It’s a Nintendo emulation powerhouse. Technically you can do all of that on the switch, but it’s much harder to do, much harder to get content, and not nearly as many things are compatible.

grrgyle,

I never had one but sounds like I missed out. I also wasn’t thinking of rereleases or emulation.

alk,

I actually never had one while it was “recent” (I skipped from the ds to the switch) but I’ve since bought a refurbished one and loaded custom firmware (very simple compared to other consoles) and played some of the top rated games and a few niche ones. I fell in love, and I use it for emulation of other Nintendo consoles up to N64 and all handheld consoles. I’m even working on a full living pokedex using only a 3ds and a switch, which is completely legit using Pokémon bank and Pokémon home and the virtual console, all official Nintendo software.

I'd say the DS was the best handheld of all time, and GBA was close behind it. 3DS had its share of bangers, but if you compare its library to the DS it's not even close.

3DS was the era where we started to see the conflict between handhelds being a place for experimental low budget titles, versus the need for larger budgets on better hardware. This also just made it more difficult to juggle supporting handheld and console platforms at the same time. And halfway through the system's lifespan, mobile gaming exploded in popularity, which really ate into the system's marketshare. There's a very observable trend in how third party support kept dropping over time.

grrgyle,

Username tells me you know your stuff

alk,

I’d argue that the backwards compatibility between the 3ds and ds makes the 3ds just as good as the DS if you’re counting ds games. Though if we’re talking how good the games are of each generation instead of how useful and fun each console is with all available means of play, it might be a different story.

missingno,
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

I'm judging each platform's library individually. Though if you do want to look at it that way, I would still say DS + GBA > 3DS + DS.

Also, tbh, I never liked DS-on-3DS due to the screen resolution being such an awkward factor. Scaled looks awful, letterboxed is too tiny.

smeg,

Simple explanation: if you have one console full of fond childhood memories then of course that’s the one you consider to be the best!

What’s funny about this whole thing is it’s almost like PirateSoftwares days in EVE Online when he invited everyone to Pochven space cause he thought he was hot shit and then proceeded to get his ass handed to him and he rage quit the game. He brought attention to something that ended up having the opposite effect of what he wanted.

Granted he was absolutely shit at EVE regardless of what he’s told his audience. couldn’t fit a ship to save his life, ran for CSM and no one voted for him, then rage quit when everyone and even his own corp proceeded to kick his teeth in.

P1nkman,

Is there a clip of this somewhere?

sp3ctr4l,

Wow, I hadn’t even heard of that particular story of Thor being an egotistical asshat.

I’d been looking into the WoW debacle, then stumbled into other stuff, but nope, that one’s new to me.

dustyData, (edited )

The worst part is that this are far from the only two events. He has been kicked from several other guilds, for exactly the same narcissistic and egoistic behavior. If everywhere you go it smells like shit, at some point you have to start checking your own shoes. He is just always adamant that it’s other people’s fault that it smells like shit, when he has full diaper.

sp3ctr4l,

Yep.

There’s the whole… apparently when Thor was essentially high school to post high school age, he managed to cajole a younger SecondLife user, who was actually decently talented at creating like clothes and custom player models…

So in SecondLife, you can actually make real money that way, you can cash out the SecondLife currency for actual realworld money.

Yeah SecondLife was actually quite a pioneer in a lot of ways, from a technical and just ‘what even is a video game’ standpoint, lets say uh ‘eccentric’ community and reputation aside.

And Thor basically convinced this other SL user, who was like 5 years younger than him… that he could make them both more money as a sort of salesman, promoter, of this other persons user made content… if they profit share.

I may have some details wrong here, but basically… Thor did basically nothing in terms of promotion, yet he made a significant chunk of change off of this other person.

Because … SL just has basically a universal market you can list things in.

Like uh, Escape from Tarkov, or FF14’s auction house or what not, fully built into the game… but even more so as it actually allows you to cash out to real world money.

its not like you’d have to do some kind of technical wizardry to enable sales, its not like Thor whipped up some kind of gray/black market system / payment processor way back when PayPal was still a fairly new idea.

Alongside that, there were allegations of basically ERP going waaay too far.

Now, this other person has I think entirely denied any kind of ERP abuse, sexual or just normal relationship abuse, says everything was fine…

But a good number of people seem to think that the essentially digital labor theft Thor did, basically amounts to its own kind of grooming, exploitation.

seralth,

Don’t call him Thor call him what he is, a loser. Sullying the good name of Norse gods.

sp3ctr4l,

… As best I can tell…

He actually, legally changed his first name to Thor.

And he has gone by Thor for… at least 5 years?.. in his Twitch streaming career.

I fully agree this is an insult to the old Gods, but … Thor is apparently literally his actual name.

His older username / online handle was ‘Maldavius Figtree’ or something like that, can’t say I am aware of his actual birth name.

intrapt, (edited )

I was in his corp (my old one merged with his, I had no idea who he was for quite a while), and this… isn’t exactly accurate. First, from what I remember, he left on okay terms with the corp.

There was a laundry list of issues with Pochven, a lot of them due to CCP just not bothering to fix issues that the players reported, and moving devs who did want to try and fix some of the issues to different areas of the game. It got to the point where it wasn’t economically viable to live in the area, which reduced how many ships we could field, and the number of people even willing to join.

CCP also took forever to decide on how wormholes interacted with the region, and changed those interactions frequently. Some of these were great, for instance there was a point where most of the wormholes linked to wormhole systems, and it was a complicated (and dangerous) dance to get people in and out of the region undetected. CCP ended up going with the worst possible interaction: many wormholes directly linked to nullsec space, where massive alliances could easily find them and send massive fleets through with little effort.

He wasn’t the only one to quit, to be honest I’m surprised he stayed for as long as he did given how he acts now.

Is Thor an egotistical narcissist? Absolutely. Was this a case of that? Not really

By the way, this is a statement he put out alongside the other two main groups in Pochven. I can tell you for a fact that 90+% of the players who spent most of their time in Pochven felt this move was absolutely justified*: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/613c3cb2-3874-4a20-9c46-dc1ffb290c41.jpeg

Edit* And the other ~10% disagreed with the destruction of the citadels, not the sentiment of the statement

sp3ctr4l,

Well hey, I very much appreciate more info from someone who was actually there!

I dont get it, what’s this got to do with the petition?

whatsisface,

PirateSoftware was critical of the initiative when it first started. Some people attribute its initial lack of success to his opposition.

He was later involved in some drama and his reputation fell, and the petition’s creator finally addressed his claims. Now the petition is having a second wind in its final hour

Joelk111,

He wasn’t just critical of it, he spread misinformation about it. It was wild to watch someone be so completely and utterly wrong, then double and triple and quadruple down on it.

renrenPDX,

He was against it, which resulted in a lot of negative opinions about the bill and netting less votes because of it. It’s gone full Streisand effect.

Haha, holy shit. Somehow I had never connected that Piratesoftware was Maldavius. Yeah, that explains so, so very much of this entire SKG debacle.

Still Project Zomboid, it’s been like 10 years. The game have evolved, and current unstable version includes a lot of completely overhauled mechanics. I’ve seen some bugs, but those guys know their job, so even a “buggy” content works better than some “released” other games.
Recently got Green Hell, and this is one of the best survival experiences I’ve seen. Basically you are dehydrated, starving, and infested by parasites in South American jungle, but on a good side, you have some meat to fry if you won’t die before you’ll manage to make fire.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Waiting on Build 42 to get multiplayer so I can play it with my brother…

I’m going to be waiting a long time again, aren’t I?

toofpic,

I think so - to sync all of the new stuff (ragdolls alone) for multiple people is a big work. And I already had a multiplayer-like bug where the game hung on me when I was driving. When I reloaded, the car was stopping in front of me, and I was standing on the road with zeds around. I survived, but damn!
They changed survival with the animals - I’m living on a farm, drinking milk, making bone stuff

Finishing up Pentiment probably later today, and it will be nice to have it over and done with. I will appreciate having played it, but I can’t say actually playing it was all that fun. It’s beautiful, it’s well-researched and it has some interesting plots and characters in it but… god damn is it ever slow. Between the laboriously slow and often banal and uninteresting conversations and the lack of fast travel leading to half your playing time being watching your character slowly waddling across Tassing the game feels like an absolute slog to play.

I’ve been breaking up the tedium with https://store.steampowered.com/app/1721060/Mandragora_Whispers_of_the_Witch_Tree/. I’ve had my eye on it as it’s written by Bloodlines-writer Brian Mitsoda, and at 25% off on the summer sale I thought why not.

It’s a Metroidvania Soulslike with a skill tree inspired by Path of Exile, and I’m really liking what I’m seeing so far. The combat has been solid, the build diversity seems great and the bosses have been good. The game is beautiful with a lovely art style and the level design is really good too.

From what I’ve seen so far I recommend checking it out if you like these types of games!
