gamingdexter, do games w YouTuber Jirard (a.k.a. The Completionist) has been accused of keeping and hoarding charity donations
@gamingdexter@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d say watch both videos, Muta’s video is a little more in depth, but it is just odd to hold onto the money for so long. At least they aren’t spending it on nonsensical things, but if they get audited, that will be a big problem with how they filled out their taxes. I’m hoping for the best though, I do like Jirard and I can’t imagine how it is with your parent/family going through that

Coreidan,

Just report him to the IRS and move on. Let them sort it out. If he’s legit the IRS won’t have issue.

Ebennz,

At least they aren’t spending it on nonsensical things

They pulled out like 30k two years 10-12k other years. No idea what that was spent on.

blue_zephyr,

It’s more than odd, it’s deception. He has been talking to his donators as if the money has been going to charities for years. He has named specific charities that haven’t received a single dime from them.

jacktherippah, do games w Stop using Fandom

Honestly, fuck Fandom. Do we have a Fediverse alternative?

Flax_vert,

Why would we need a fediverse alternative 😂 unless you want to go around editing wikis with your mastodon account, wikis are basically just static webpages. It’s called HTML 😂

I, for one, would be totally cool having a single account to do everything online as long as it had really good security. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gestrid,

Believe it or not, Wikipedia actually does use a single global account for all of its wikis. That includes Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, and almost every other site listed on their website. The only one you have to create a separate account for is their test wiki where they test new versions of MediaWiki (the software they develop for their wikis).

DestinyGrey,

Wikis like Fandom typically make it easy/easier to create and edit pages. Wiki editors are rare and you want to make it as easy for them to latch onto helping and volunteering as is possible.

Maybe a fediverse option isn’t needed (though the below comment’s point about having a central account would make it easier for a lot of users), but having a convenient and easy way to create a wiki for your favorite fandom, without using Fandom would go a long way toward breaking Fandom’s hold over the entertainment sections of the internet.

    There’s Fossil which is a version control system with a wiki, so you can just straight up fork and mirror existing wikis.

    Cethin,

    I learned about this plug in the other day. Indie Wiki Buddy. It’s not a fediverse alternative, but it’s the next best thing. It can redirect your Fandom results to their independent alternatives.

    Weird thing to say, but this game has the best muddy paths in games.

    AstralPath, do games w Counter-Strike 2 - Launch Trailer

    Stoked. I like the new improvements. I’m happy to see this game moving forward like this. Been playing for over 20 years and I couldn’t be happier. After a few patches to tidy up loose ends, this game will leave CS:GO in the dust.

    Played on PS5 and I enjoyed Forbidden West more than the first one.

    newthrowaway20,

    I feel like the gameplay and traversal was a lot more fun, but the story in the first one is way way better.

    Carighan, do games w Persona 3 Reload | Third trailer
    @Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s such a shame - and such a bizarre decision - that this is based on the vanilla Persona 3, not the Portable edition with the optional female MC and all the extras.

    blackluster117,
    @blackluster117@possumpat.io avatar

    Probably so they can sell the remastered DLC later. I don’t want to think Atlus would do that, but this is the modern age.

    kftX,

    I would honestly rather have FES than Portable, but considering they are starting from scratch there is absolutely no reason they couldn’t have gotten the FES content, shove in the FemMC option and do it.

    …unless the endgame is DLC, of course.

    Ashtear,

    I’m firmly in the “no FeMC, no buy” camp, but I’m not really surprised. Including FeMC in this project would have dramatically increased the amount of dialogue, and they’ve already said P3R will have the most voiced lines ever for a Persona game.

    TL;DW?

    Tibert,

    Nothing “new” that hasn’t been shared already :

    • Unity top leaders selling stock before the announcement
    • they proposing “special” deal to not get the per install fee applied if the devs opt in to use only Unity’s advertising plaform in order to kill competition.
    • Unity getting death threats from employees.
    turtlepower,

    I can’t wait till the threats turn into promises. I’m so sick and fucking tired of the “elites” getting away with doing whatever they want. I’m hungry; let’s eat.

    Threats of violence against low level peons aren’t threats we should be encouraging

    zib,
    @zib@kbin.social avatar

    Indeed, and a lot of those low level peons think this new pricing structure is awful, but are being ignored by upper management.

    turtlepower,

    Who the fuck threatened low level peons? I’m saying EAT THE RICH. You know the CEO fucks that are doing this shit? Learn to read.

    starman2112,

    The real people actually doing the threatening were threatening offices staffed by low level peons

    Unity getting death threats from employees

    If it’s own employees are giving death threats, chances are high that it’s aiming up. Unless their CEO is threatening to kill those below him to save a buck?

    Oh man haven’t watched zp in years. I’ll check it out

    julesx,

    Neither have I. Last of his I watched was for Eve. “Bored, bored, bored, eye strain” was all I remember, and that’s right on the money (for Eve Online). Might have to start watching his videos again, didn’t know he’s on YouTube now.

    Wow he still uses the same intro song and everything

    theangriestbird,

    showcasing why i stopped watching ZP years ago. not that yahtzee had to always come up with a new theme song, but like nothing about the format has changed since he joined The Escapist a decade ago.

    I was super excited for this game, and after watching that gameplay video, removed it from my wishlist. Was really hoping for a good moria survival game, but all the mechanics in this video look subpar.

    timconspicuous, do games w Half-Life 2 RTX, An RTX Remix Project - Announce Trailer

    I might be in the minority here, but I couldn’t help but think Half-Life 2 still looks really good for a game released in 2004. Obviously “RTX on” is nicer to look at, but all the small details like the magnifying glass that actually magnifies made me appreciate the old assets/graphics so much, what a milestone it was.

    Rossel,

    The art direction is impeccable and it still shines for it.

    AdrianTheFrog,
    @AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world avatar

    Two thirds of graphics is art direction, the other third is tech. Source: a rule I just made up

    Rossel,

    And those 2/3s shine through, the last big engine update for HL2 was in 2007. It still looks great.

    garretble, do games w ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON — Launch Trailer
    @garretble@lemmy.world avatar

    Yo dawg, I’m gonna let you finish but there are too many good games out right now so something has to give. And unfortunately, big robot mech game, that’s you for now.

    simple,

    I’m definitely wondering if I should pick armored core up myself considering Starfield is coming soon, there’s just a lot of games coming out back to back.

    TesterJ,

    Luckily Starfield is on Gamepass, so I don’t have to spend another $60 so soon after Armored Core.

    I’m playing through some of my backlog, but Baulder’s Gate 3 just came out a couple weeks ago, and that games is too big!

    Hell, I still have stuff to do in Zelda.

    Dangdoggo,

    Starfield, Baldurs Gate 3, Payday 3, Lies of P, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Harvest Moon, and a few others that other people are probably hyped for (Madden, ETC)

    !deleted4231 avatar

    I’ve tried 3-4 times to get into this game, and I guess it’s just not for me. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be really proud of what they’ve managed to turn the game into. It looked pretty…rough 7 years ago but with a bit of patience and a lot of goodwill and hard work they’ve turned it into a success story.

    GrayBackgroundMusic,

    Same. It’s very broad, but not very deep. I’m generally a deep-system type gamer. Gimme Factorio or it’s kin. I really get frustrated with NMS’s implementation of logistics and stuff. I just gave up. It’s an explorer’s game and I’m not an explorer type.

    wcSyndrome, do gaming w Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic

    I get everyone’s sentiment here, boiling it down to “better games are better” but also keep in mind the development costs and times for making new games are constantly going up. Yeah of course there are fantastic indie games out there (and I love them myself) that have a fraction of AAA game budgets and dev time but those are the gems in the rough, not the norm.

    I’m all for better gaming experiences but they do come with tradeoffs. Also, flops are now death sentences for studios so the pressure to perform is even higher

    theodewere,
    @theodewere@kbin.social avatar

    you sound like EA public relations

    Chozo,

    He's not wrong, though. Game development is a business, like any other, and larger-scale games require exponentially more resources to produce than smaller indie titles.

    Obviously one could make the argument "Well they shouldn't be making every single game into a huge, multi-billion dollar blockbuster title that costs the player an arm and a leg to gain access to, then they wouldn't need that amount of resources to begin with", and that would be a fair argument. But ultimately, people keep buying those games, anyway. And not by force, they buy them of their own volition. So those games continue to be profitable. There's no incentive for big studios to change their ways when consumers keep giving them money, so they're going to keep making huge games that require huge resources and huge payments from the players.

    theodewere,
    @theodewere@kbin.social avatar

    yeah you guys are working really hard here

    Chozo,

    I'm not sure what you mean. Were you offering some sort of insight into what I or the other person was actually saying, or just whining? Some of us are having a conversation here.

    theodewere,
    @theodewere@kbin.social avatar

    you're working really hard to try to stipulate something, i agree

    Chozo,

    Okay, thanks for sharing that. Much appreciated. Have a nice day, then.

    theodewere,
    @theodewere@kbin.social avatar

    my day's fine, and your point isn't very interesting.. it sounds like corporate spin..

    wcSyndrome,

    It’s mind boggling when the costs of games get leaked (or revealed during court cases). It makes me sad that so many studios have pivoted to the strategy you’ve described because it means we’ll have less games of a franchise I enjoy since the development takes so long or the developement is never even started because people have decided the profit won’t be as high as making a blockbuster game. Hell, look at Rockstar milking whales with GTA V, that’s a slightly different conversation, but it’s crazy how long the gap between GTA V and GTA VI are

    Idk but it makes it hard to find modding (creating mods) ressources online

    pyre,

    I’m pretty sure it’s always been both. They’re both modifying the game.
