Plural and not human, don’t refer to us as human in any way, we aren’t.

Never tell us what we’re feeling, why we’re doing something or what we are etc.

Bigots fuck off, you’re being ignorant assholes.

But yes, saving games is pretty minor compared to stopping literal fascism.

I don’t know. Fascism hates art, and capitalism only sees value in it when it’s making them money/giving it power, and capitalism and fascism are very closely related. Therefore it’s actually a part of stopping fascism, or at least stopping them from getting what they want entirely.

Completely agree.

Sorry it has been a long time since we have seen the show. What do you mean?

Oh, that sounds a bit dire. We hope it allows us to rebel completely.

Hmmmm, a bit confusing it’s a dating sim if it’s meant to be about an AroAce person, but it’s somehwat understandable if somebody is trying to figure themselves out.

Might check it out once it’s complete (early access is too hard to trust especially with a newly made studio).

We agree with the desire, but in this case at least, not with the method.

GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

I saw someone, somewhere, saying something like this recently: it’s always easier to play the role of doomsayer than the optimist, because far fewer people seem to care if you’re wrong when you’re predicting something will fail....

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Aren’t delays to video games good though? Less crunch and hopefully fewer bugs.

Also it being an industry always seemed wrong to me. If big corpos are dying off then that’s good. Video games shouldn’t be about soulless money grabs and ever increasing profits, they should be about art and making enough to live on.

Did they ever apologise properly for what they did to that player that said free Hong Kong and allow him to play again or have we all just forgotten that?

The steam discussion forums shouldn’t exist. Steam doesn’t want to moderate them and neither do the developers. Absolutely garbage feature.

[sarcasm] Who could have ever seen it coming? [/sarcasm]

Honestly, the writing was on the wall for a long time, it had no clear business model and was a mess. It was always going to go this way and I tried pointing out that it was a bad platform but nobody either cared or believed me. Whelp, looks like I was a Cassandra yet again.

Hope Open Source people can make something to fill the gap, there really is nothing else (yet). Matrix really doesn’t have the features and that which it does have is often bad UX and doesn’t work everywhere. Not seen anything else which will fill the gap and I’ve been looking but I guess nobody thought discord would go down, go this way, or just don’t really know how to make something that would fill the gap, or didn’t want to.

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, sadly most open source alternatives to discord either cannot do voice/video chat or cannot do it as well or seamlessly as discord did, partially because federated voice/video chat is not really a solved issue and partially because of money. Though even most of the centralised ones don’t really have voice/video chat that works well except for a few like Signal because they have the resources.

Another problem is it’s based on p2p a lot of the time, whereas I think things like discord partially use their servers to facilitate it, I’ll check on this though.

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Jitsi doesn’t have e2ee except in a few situations and they don’t seem interested in bringing e2ee to all platforms, or they can’t. It also is somewhat buggy with disconnects etc. Also it’s meant for one off calls or meetings compared to discord, but yeah, it’s okay for some situations.

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, sadly.

SweetCitrusBuzz, (edited )
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, the people behind it always seemed to be more interested in getting corporate funding and thus gave corporations more what they wanted/needed instead of typical users and mods. This is part of the reason why I’m no longer interested in matrix main and more hard forks of it.

SweetCitrusBuzz, (edited )
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Does it have e2ee messages (even in group chats) and calling? One reason we never used discord is because it lacked that (except in calling towards the end).

Edit: Seems they are “working on it”, which makes us a bit nervous but hopefully it’ll be implemented everywhere: github.com/orgs/revoltchat/discussions/597

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

They are working on it: github.com/orgs/revoltchat/discussions/597

Also we disagree as not all groups on even discord are public since many require invites or accepting requests to join.

Edit: Also, even if they are public I’d rather the server not be able to see my messages even if the users in any given group can. Yes, I know it’s a minor difference but I can probably trust the other users, I cannot necessarily trust the server.

Fair enough.

Cassette Beasts and soon Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, Tape 2

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah. I never really got into pokémon as I didn’t like the idea of capturing creatures and forcing them to fight, but Cassette Beasts doesn’t have that problem. Oh yeah, good point about them being doubles. I do like the aesthetic/graphics and that it’s avaliable on every platform, unlike pokémon.

Good. Honestly most games in the sex space are pretty bad for both consent and treating the characters like actual people.

The dialogue is pretty unrealistic too.

The only good one we have come across so far is Cute Demon Crashers. It is heavily about consent and the writing isn’t that bad either. True, it’s not going to be ‘realistic’ in terms of character models nor have fully fleshed out sex scenes but since most in that genre seem to be terrible in general perhaps that is a good thing.

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

I can do them, but honestly I would prefer to have played through many without such a mainstay of games. It just often gets in the way of what I am really there for: the story. Plus it’s becoming more and more gruesome.

I think though killing and rape are not exactly the same. Women are historically treated very poorly in game spaces, both in games and outside of them. This kind of thing just adds to it and honestly makes me question what the developers are really like.

As someone else said “check whether there are women in the developer’s dungeon”.

Will this finally mean developers stop using github? We can only hope.

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, really more open source products need to move to the fediverse through forgejo which would make them a lot harder to take down ioo.

Tired of GitHub being the Defacto despite its ties to ICE, stealing open source code through copilot, not allowing contributions from certain countries, and now this.

When will developers learn? Github is not on their side.

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

No.

@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Some important takeaways include new items including the “Massacre Drone” and a “Killpower Switch,”

Yeah, pass. This developer seems to enjoy the slaughter of things, especially if they are cute and innocent.

For many reasons twitch is a bad platform and I hope this encourages people to platforms where they actually have control like peertube.

Gaming on controller & "typos"

Sometimes I game on keyboard + mouse, sometimes on controller, depending on the game. I love my keyboard, but being able to slouch with controller in hand is welcome as well. Unfortunately I’ve played so many games over the years with a controller that I struggle immensely to tap the right buttons when shit gets real. It’s...

SweetCitrusBuzz,
@SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org avatar

Yes, but you might not like it. You would have to unlearn it. Only way I know of doing so is to not game for some time, then retrain yourself.

In my naïve hopes I hoped this could be from stopping harrasment within Square Enix and its development partners, but alas no. It is stopping fans from harrasing, which is good but really they should turn that policy inwards as well.
