since people are talkinmg about balatro here, is it possible to buy it somewhere other than steam if i don’t want to support the child gambling company?

dom,

Child gambling company?

GreatRam,

Valve enables cs2 gambling through loot boxes. Many children are introduced to gambling this way

Coffeezilla’s investigation on the topic

dom,

Ah I wasn’t aware but not surprised. Not sure why you’re getting down voted for sharing information. Ahh ~~reddit ~~ lemmy

kate, (edited )

My best guess is people took “child gambling” to mean the game itself 🤷‍♀️ (or maybe they don’t like that i insulted their favourite brand)

kate,

Volvo and the cs2 loot boxes incl. their weird workarounds like the X-ray scanner so they can enable child gambling in countries like France that have made it illegal. like they really love child gambling it’s fucking weird

Elextra,

It’s on mobile app stores too

kate,

yeah I thought about that but apple and google are each bad in their own ways. maybe i’ll mail a tenner to the dev studio and just pirate it

Not on gog or itch sadly. The official balatro website only links to Steam. So it’s either Steam or get it on a console :/

Cethin,

Is there anyone who sells games that aren’t bad in some way? You don’t become successful in capitalism by being altruistic. Any company successful enough to run a market probably has some skeletons in their closet.

Redout 2 if you're into futuristic racers. It's a lot of fun.

How’s Redout 2 compared to the first one? I have the original, but have been on the fence with the sequel.

@simple@piefed.social avatar

It's a more polished version of the first, its not that different. If you liked the first you'll enjoy the 2nd

Unpopular opinion, I played Elden ring for close to 10 hours and hated it. Ugly game, saw nothing but barren wastelands, got extremely annoyed with the style of fighting and the repetitiveness. I think it’s by far one of the worst games I’ve ever played

Terraria, a monument to indie games and the craft itself, gave tons of free content and still does, unlike the popular pay for expansion models on a half finished buggy game of their contemporaries

Also Journey and Flower for different reasons

Great write up! There were a small number of items in the descriptions that I didn't know what they were, for example RNG and Eurojank

atomicpoet,

RNG = random number generator. In gaming, this just means random chance. Whenever loot drops, critical hits land, enemies spawn, or dice rolls decide outcomes, that’s RNG at work.

Eurojank is a term for European-developed games (usually from Central or Eastern Europe) that are ambitious, creative, and full of unique ideas… but also full of technical rough edges.

Bosht,

Oh my god I forgot about this one!! I would love to see something similar in today’s market or even an HD remake of the original.

P1k1e,

If only, but I did find a way to play my old cd a while back. Can’t say it aged well. Game was actually quite wonky. Most of the “secret mechanics” are pretty hard to trigger

So like a grant organization? They exist: indie-fund.com

I don’t see how community servers help your case, though. Those don’t help things like security vulnerabilities.

I also don’t know what you mean about delisting being stolen money. Delisting just means it stops being sold. You can still download and play the game.

No, mostly because I don’t like MP games. Interacting with randoms just isn’t my idea of a good time.

However, I like the idea.

Well, the multiplayer games could have single player modes also. I believe one of the problems previously was because the single player games required Internet connection and sign in and whatnot.

It’s rare to come across games that feel as much like a work of art as Clair Obscur does, especially in the AA+ budget space. It deserves the hype and the success they’ve had, and I really hope it ends up getting Game of the Year.

GammaGames,

I hope it does, it deserves it! The fact that most of my complaints are insignificant annoyances really says something to the quality of the game, everything works together so well!

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

It’s a weird one because it clearly has its flaws, and looking at it “objectively” it shouldn’t be a 10/10 game. But none of the flaws really affect the impact of the experience as an artwork, so it still feels like a 10/10. Does that make sense?

GammaGames,

Yes! I would still like a failed animation when I miss a parry and ground clutter sometimes has annoying collision, but neither of those stop me from enjoying the experience that is there. Everything is at such a high standard that it’s hard for any single issue to overshadow it
