Passerby6497,

Store Citizen missing deadlines like that is to be expected.

Passerby6497,

Can’t risk hinting that the policies that they push directly lead to the material conditions that cause these shootings.

Passerby6497,

it’s a real shame MS see security architecture as a nuisance rather than a core responsibility of their business.

I’m pretty sure the reason behind this is that they treat backwards compatibility as a higher priority in a lot of cases. There are so many odd choices I see in my day to day that I can only explain away by backwards compatibility. It’s part of the reason you see them take forever to depreciate old and insecure protocols until they get an encouragement from a vuln hitting the news.

Passerby6497,

Honestly, if I had the skills I’d be doing that as an explicit fuck you to the draconian anticheat bullshit they force on everyone, because what better fuck you than showing all that effort was for naught, especially close to launch.

EA can go fuck themselves with the world’s biggest cactus.

Passerby6497,

I love that track, but have to skip it regularly with my kid in the car lol

Passerby6497,

I have ‘for dogs’ on my radio already, but I might put the sausage one on too, that’s great

Passerby6497,

Exist when they cared more and had less things to compare it to so that nothing can ever surpass the nostalgia of the game, regardless of quality.

[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games (kotaku.com) angielski

Updated: 8/1/2025 4:18 p.m. ET: In a statement to Kotaku, a spokesperson for Valve said that while Mastercard did not communicate with it directly, concerns did come through payment processor and banking intermediaries. They said payment processors rejected Valve’s current guidelines for moderating illegal content on Steam,...

Passerby6497,

Honestly, I don’t care if MasterCard doesn’t want to take responsibility. It was their rule and their intermediaries that caused the situation and they did not intervene when valve tried to reach out directly.

They are responsible through action or inaction, no matter how they try to deny it.

Passerby6497,

No, the rules don’t (that’s why it’s been fine for 7 years), and you used a derogatory term so cry harder about your downvotes.

Passerby6497,

When they say anything that “may damage the goodwill of the corporation”,

Looks like MasterCard is going to have to ban MasterCard because of all the damage they’ve done to MasterCard’s goodwill.

Passerby6497,

It says on the post-redeem page that it can take a while to show up

Passerby6497,

I couldn’t redeem on my phone until I opened Firefox instead of embedded chrome and log into GoG before I could get past the damned Cloudflare hell

Passerby6497,

And only 3-4 million bought by scammers to resell! (/s?)

Passerby6497,

Wouldn’t it be nice if the payment processors required more than being really annoying to get something classified as possibly illegal?

Passerby6497,

“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”

Passerby6497,

Conservative fundamentalists and blaming liberals for their own actions

Name a better duo

Passerby6497,

I picked one up a few years ago and I love it. When I have the opportunity, it’s so nice to chill in a waiting room and game instead of just doom scrolling.

Like the other poster said, I’m happy with the regular deck. Given there’s no news about the 2nd one, I’d grab it and enjoy.

Passerby6497,

My interest in subnautica 2 is like the actual second game: below zero.

The first game and below zero are so different I’m not confident they know what about the first game was what drew people in.

Passerby6497,

“This shitty company has been shitty for 20 years, why do we care” is one of the most fanboi, dickriding responses possible. Why are you riding for Nintendo so hard given their shitty anti-consumer practices?

(PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)? angielski

It’s Steam sale and I’m looking for chill farming/building games that do not look like Anime. The setting is secondary, because I’ve no idea what’s out there. Can be in space, historical, fantasy, anything really and I’ll have a look. I just don’t like Anime style and forced cuteness....

Passerby6497,

As much as I second the rec for satisfactory, I’m not sure I’d classify it as ‘chill’ unless you’re playing on peaceful.

I’ve been looking at shapez 2 for a bit, but I’m worried the infinite resource aspect of it would cause me to get bored too quickly

Passerby6497,

Review bombing is now criticism of a game I like

  • people who are wrong
Passerby6497,

Nah, my gaming group talked the same shit about 4e. We went back to 3.5 a bit and a ton of GURPS before the group disbanded.

Passerby6497,

Yeah, oligarchs are controlling the media they own, and consuming their media supports oligarchs.

What part of what they said was backwards?

Passerby6497,

Store Citizen has a lot of promise

Lol

Passerby6497,

Feel free to stop by the store and purchase a thought out response for only $420.69, and it might be released in a few years.

Passerby6497,

Passerby6497,

There’s a lot of decent non toilet humor and some really good gunplay. The tiny Tina dlc was amazing, but I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews of the stand alone game.

Passerby6497,

Wasn’t super interested until I saw it was a Hamilton book. Added it to my wishlist, will probably check it out, thanks!

Passerby6497,

And while Microsoft fucks up plenty, at least they’re a corporation with a reputation to uphold, and I believe they even have a QA team or 2.

Lol. Lmao even

Passerby6497,

“Butbutbutbut server side anticheat is haaaaaaard and requires us to actually think about what values are actually valid and understand our own internal game states. Kernel level anticheat lets us be lazy costs us less and requires less development time!”

Passerby6497,

That’s the thing, you’re never going to catch everything. But anything important can be sanity checked by the server when the client checks in, all without opening a vulnerability in your customers’ systems.

So much kernel level anticheat is about offloading the processing power to the customer, and unreasonable desires for control over the systems involved and overall game environment (and probably a decent amount of data mining).

Passerby6497,

Who the fuck are these assholes, Jack Thompson?

Passerby6497,

Lol

I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store (lemmy.world) angielski

Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Passerby6497,

which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Yar, me as well.

Passerby6497,

I got exactly one free epic game (subnautica) that I uninstalled and bought immediately the day I couldn’t play the game because I lost Internet and there was no goddamned offline mode.

Epic store is shovelware, and I can’t believe the amount of people who defend a 4th rate store comparing itself to the gold standard that can’t even offer basic functionality expected of a modern platform. But people always have liked trash, so meh.

Passerby6497,

Copied from a comment I posted in this thread:

Passerby6497,

I only play single player games, so your attack has no effect on me!

Passerby6497,

Agreed. Especially if they’re creative like the halo devs and only use one rock.

Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? (lemmy.world) angielski

It’s beyond insane to me that a $70 “AAAA” game (kidding, it’s AAA) dips down to the absurd price of $5. I’ve never seen anything like it. Wish the entire Sims 4 “collection” if you can call it that was $5 total, would be incredible, or Starfield.

Passerby6497,

Never buy games prior to a holiday, there’s always a sale coming up that might save you some money.

Passerby6497,

The only thing I care about on the store right now is the factorio dlc, and that’s never gonna go on sale. I’ll probably buy that once I finish all the achievements for satisfactory.

Passerby6497,

Minecraft, Factorio, Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere program have the most real playtime, but idle games have the top slots.

Passerby6497,

It’s probably kernel level anti-piracy shit, but same results.

Passerby6497,

AssCreed4 is the best game of the series. Black Flag’s combat was great and the ship combat keeps me coming back to the game years on.

Passerby6497,

Quotation marks?

Passerby6497,

I really wanted to like it, but it just never scratched the itch when I played it. I love stuff like freespace 2, but E:D just never did it for me. Which sucks, because the community search thing sounded really fun at the time.

Passerby6497,

Capitalism, an oligarchy that controls major players, and legislation to keep public players out of the game in a lot of places. Even aside from the fact that private companies are able to prevent municipalities from making their own networks, Congress passed taxes to build out a fiber network and let the ISPs do fuck all, to the point that we had been taxed to the tune of $400 BILLION dollars A FUCKING DECADE AGO.

It constantly amazes me the shit our government lets corporations get away with.

Passerby6497,

Depends on their tenure. If they’re old school Bethesda, nah that’s just you. The people who built the older TES games had much more skill than the people churning out schlock or the 473rd rererelease of Skyrim. The newer people, yeah that’s not a feather in their cap really. Starfield is meh at best, and doesn’t hold a candle to stuff like Morrowind.

Passerby6497,

Hey, nice smasnug!

It took me way longer than I want to admit to decipher this lol.
