Most game media/advertising/reviewing is garbage and cannot be trusted. I play games that look fun. I have a particular definition of fun specific to me alone. I’ll watch actual gameplay to decide if it looks fun to me. I might watch technical reviews and benchmarks that tell me if my hardware will be able to play it. IDGAF what culture war moralizing poop that some idiots want to headline it with and babble about to get views on their articles and channels.

I don’t think Stellar Blade looks like the kind of fun I personally enjoy so I’m going to pass, but I’m not going to judge or shame anyone who’s enjoying the fuck out of it because there’s nothing to shame. It’s a game. It’s made to be played and be fun for people to play. Have fun. Don’t worry about the drama storms. They’re pointless and devoid of meaning.

“Hide” is such a stupid concept when it comes to anything online. I guess this generation didn’t see the Streisand effect first hand.

Is there a culture war bingo generator somewhere? I think I could fill a card or two on this alone.

Why, yes, I’m broke, but I doubt Stellar Blade has anything to do with it. It’s mostly because of the shifting economic and political landscape of today.

Thanks for asking, though!

Can we please just leave the culture war nonsense to reddit? There is no grand conspiracy to “hide” this game.

This video covers the topic quite well: youtu.be/WPsSguYNHpk

Stellar Blade is a good game.

Also worth mentioning that I learned from this video that Shift Up removed the Playstation region lock that caused the Helldivers 2 controversy universally, so they get kudos from me.

3 episodes in and I already have no fucking idea what’s even happening. I love it

simple,

I don't think even Kojima knows what's happening anymore

Sorrow3527,

Makes it all the more exiting then some cliche story writing we usually get from triple A.

I hope Pirate Software gets his

I love how terraria does crossovers with so many different indie games. Will they do Stardew crossover at some point? that could be interesting.

Khanzarate,
neon_nova,

That’s awesome!

This is a PR issue. For some bizarre reason they decided that game preservation should be independent of the right to repair movement a movement that had fairly significant momentum by the time they started talking about games preservation. So for some insane reason they separated the two concepts in people’s minds and that resulted in nobody caring.

Then they decided to whine about the fact that it was unsuccessful despite the fact that they’d essentially done everything they could to kneecap the movement.

gamer,

What does game preservation have to do with right to repair? I support both, but if people don’t care about preserving games, latching it onto the right to repair movement is just going to drag it down for no reason.

Maalus,

Nothing, one was simply trendy and OP doesn’t know how movements work so they just lumped it together

A_Random_Idiot, do games w The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]

PirateSoftware is an enormous cunt.

And he makes no effort to hide it.

I genuinely don’t understand why he has such a rabid fanbase.

ArsonButCute,

Youtube shorts.

Imagine you’re a gamer, one who is interested in game Design. Your view history has games, gaming, game design, but it’s also full of algotrash talking heads, scam baiters, shit slingers. You open the YouTube app on your phone, and it immediately opens to shorts, you don’t remember settings that as the default but it’s fine, you recognize the creator and the 45 second clip was neat. Swipe up. Next video, it Nile Blue dropping a beaker of chloroauric acid. Next video, its Chris Boden yelling about some kind of electrical infrastructure you don’t understand (and that’s pretty cool). Next video, Thor, speaking softly, explaining an aspect of game design that you never thought of. This one catches your attention, its in your wheelhouse, its something you’re genuinely interested in. You click the profile, swipe through a few more shorts. Your algorithm is permanently damaged. Your a pirate software fan now, whether you like it or not.

Or you can use freetube and never see algotrash talking heads in your feed and never enter into this cycle.

Nikls94,

I’ve been downvoting all of this trash for 3 months now. I still get this trash. It has nothing to do with algorithm anymore. This is Homogenisierung

ArsonButCute,

Downvoting requires you: A. Click into the video
B. Select the downvote button, thereby engaging with the video

The algorithm is not designed to feed you content you like, only content that will generate clicks and interaction. The only way to eliminate that content from your feed is to forcibly remove it, as they have designed the feed such that it is impossible not to interact with it.

Again, I suggest trying freetube as a frontend, as it allows you to retitle and rethumbnail clickbait videos, and remove shorts from your feeds, thereby eliminating the skinner box that is youtube from your life.

A_Random_Idiot,

youtube is a lot like telephone scammers.

The only winning move is to not to play, because anything you do just confirms existence and worsens experience.

philipp_,

They hide it, but they do have RSS Feeds for each channel. I follow all the channels that interest me via my feed reader and only interact with the site to watch the videos. I never click any links to anywhere and am not logged in.

Nikls94,

With videos, yes, but not with shorts. It’s like TikTok where you swipe, but you have like and dislike buttons as well. I dislike all AI slob, Nile, nearly all of that shitty promoted stuff, but still get these.

Same with Spotify, my weekly mix rarely contains more than 1 song I actually listen to (metal, punk, hardstyle, hardcore) yet it gives me hardbass and this kind of genre where all you hear is distorted over-amplified bass every third of a second and that’s it… I dislike like a tinderella

ArsonButCute,

A STRANGE GAME. THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY… … HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS?
-Joshua/WOPR - War Games (1983)

A_Random_Idiot,

I really fucking hate that, too. The algorithm is so fucking vile and evil.

I cant even watch the content i want to watch on youtube, like fishing and guns (with the exception of forgotten weapons and InRange, which the algorithm doesnt seem to view as gateways to right wing indoctrination (cause they arent) and seem to be safe… at least for now.), because if I so much as hover my mouse over one of the thumbnails of that kind of content, I immediately get blasted with 3 months of right wing extremist pseudo-intellectual diarrhea that I cant escape without completely resetting my browser.

but if I spend an evening watching retrogaming stuff? Oh fuck, Youtube just completely ignores that and pretends it never saw me show interest in that.

seralth,

Hey don’t talk shit about Chris he’s a fun dude who shares his passion and cool knowledge and that’s pretty cool.

ArsonButCute,

Never talked shit about about Chris, love the guy, but its absolutely true that he partakes in the same clickbaity tendencies that lead us to this problem in the first place.

A_Random_Idiot,

and he acts like a 12 year old hopped up on meth and red bull.

pyre,

i don’t watch him but i hope this isn’t about what he did in wow because the sheer fact that anyone even gives a shit seems wild to me. but hey i hate MMOs so maybe that’s why.

is there other reasons people don’t/shouldn’t like him or is it just vibes

edit: nvm got an answer on another content

HereIAm,

It’s not because he did anything wrong in wow that people are upset/memeing about, it’s because he’s unable to say “I’m sorry, I could have done better” without including any buts or “the others also messed up”. It has just exposed him as an incredibly self obsessed person.

pyre,

on that part sorry i still don’t care. it’s a child’s game; there’s nothing to apologize for. but his comments on stop killing games and accused farms are bad.

ipkpjersi, (edited )

I’ve seen him described elsewhere as “a poor man’s idea of a rich man” and I think it’s accurate.

With that said, I don’t think it’s his fault the petition failed, people just don’t care usually.

edit: To give more context, Pirategames literally does not know what the Stop Killing Games movement is about, he thinks it’s only about single-player games being always-online (yes that’s a component of it but not the whole thing) and converting multiplayer games to be offline-playable single-player games but it does NOT mention that anywhere because it is NOT about that. However, I guarantee you that Pirategames will not admit that he was mistaken about his understanding of the Stop Killing Games movement, he will instead double and triple down and insist that he had the correct understanding of it. lol

FarmTaco,

big mistake bud, you just made the list

daniskarma, do games w The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]

I’ve always thought that the only solution to this problem is being able to reverse engineering central servers and thus being effectively being able to pirate online only games.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It’s an unreliable solution, because there’s no guarantee that even dedicated and talented individuals will be able to reverse engineer every online server, if that game has those individuals in its customer base in the first place. The solution seems to be either legislation, which this campaign is seeking, or for the market to outright reject online-only games, which it isn’t doing. I don’t even really have an alternative to online-only games in some genres, like FPS for instance, to send my dollars toward instead; sports games are in a similar position, since the sports organizations all signed exclusivity contracts.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

The solution is legislation, as without that, we can’t expect companies to decide to release either the executables or source code for running the servers, other than a handful looking to get some attention and goodwill.

atro_city,

Which is exactly what the EU Citizen's Initiative is about 👌

chrislowles,

Ross mentions reverse engineering towards the end of the vid so it’s definitely top of mind now for the future of the initiative, bar rebooting it with someone else. Agreed that it’s really the only alternative when the industry is as steeped in back alley deals and skeevy dishonest commentary as it is.

normalexit,

Reverse engineering the server is reverse engineering the whole game. It’s going to require skilled engineers and a significant time investment. It may be possible, but not practical.

Also, the client will likely verify it is talking to a legitimate server by checking a certificate, so you may also have to hack the client too.

At some point you’re better off making your own game with hookers and blackjack.
