Hiccup, (edited ) w Unity to Cap Runtime Fee to 4% of Revenue Over $1M, Users Will Self-Report Figures

This changes nothing, unity. Fuck off. Fire your CEO and put in some real leadership.

Jaysyn, w Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

While they are porting to Godot, those Devs can stop updating their Unity installations & keep the old ToS.

tun,

I heard unity removed the clause which states dev can keep the old term.

derin,

These companies can’t port to Godot as it doesn’t support the software stacks they use and the platforms they target (mobile).

With the size of the players involved, it’s much more likely they go to Cocos2D in the short term, and that something new pops up in the long term to act as a proper Unity replacement.

They all want to be that which they cannot become… ans we can’t become that either cause we don’t have a PhD in PoE.

SilverFlame,

Titan Quest was pretty good, and I think it used all of the same sound effects.

Grim Dawn! Successor to TQ and measurably better than any other arpg on the market (in my opinion).

I didn’t enjoy how the “correct” way to play was to spend your points on stats instead of fun abilities.

Last Epoch scratches the ARPG itch for me and has a lot of customization (each skill has its own talent tree that can change how it behaves.)

SilverFlame,

I enjoyed Grim Dawn up until the last boss. I haven’t played any of the DLC though, it’s worth going back to it.

A new Expansion is in the works too! Crate Entertainment really cares about their game and it shows, not many games out there with that kind of long-term support

No thanks… lol

Coz i actually own those.

Hiccup, w Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

Square Enix is no longer square enix. They need to take a hard look in the mirror, like capcom, to see who they truly are or will see the collapse of the company. I fully expect either a Sony or Nintendo swooping in to buy them/ bail them out.

They keep fucking up and putting out/ producing garbage. I’m still pissed about how they ruined the remake.

MentalEdge, (edited ) w Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Official Document Reveals Open-Ended Gameplay, New Combat Abilities For Main Cast
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

While I don’t mind that Rebirth will be more open world, perhaps like fifteen, I never considered Intergrades linear design an “issue” that needed “solving”.

There’s nothing wrong with linear game design, quite the opposite. It lends itself to a more focused experience. Games often have so much “stuff” to do, half of it ends up irrelevant.

I really enjoyed the tightly paced experience that was Intergrade.

I weep for all the talented people working under squenix. They seem determined to squeeze blood from a rock, shattering it into a thousand tiny shards, few of which are worth paying for anymore.

hal_5700X, w Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod
@hal_5700X@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t see the big deal about the pronoun mods. You have to download and install it. Just don’t download the mods.

mindbleach,

It has no reason to exist besides being a middle finger to a queer minority.

This is a website deciding not to become a Nazi bar.

raptir,

By the same token, I don’t see a big deal about the pronoun choice. Just choose She/Her or He/Him. You don’t have to choose They/Their.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

So what about people who do want to use they/them? Adults could install software like this for their kids and use the mod to deny their kid the right to choose what pronoun they want to use.

raptir,

My whole point is that there’s no reason for this mod to exist.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

My bad fam, I misread you

Blamemeta,

Exactly. So whats the big hullabuloo here? Let people mod their single player game the way they want.

And its not like the player doesn’t kill hundreds in a normal play through, pronouns seem like a minor thing in comparison.

Virual,

People are welcome to mod games in whatever way they want, but Nexusmods has zero obligation to host anything, let alone content that violates their TOS.

Blamemeta,

That’s fair, they don’t have that obligation.

Just feels like an odd mod to ban.

MikeT, (edited )

It’s not the first time they banned mods like this. Nexus had the same shit storm last year when they banned Spiderman mods that tried to remove pride flags. It’s mentioned in the same article here as well.

The only reason it is getting this much outrage is because of the same reason last time, this is the hottest game on the market right now, just like Spiderman was when it came out for the first time on PC.

@worsedoughnut@lemdro.id avatar

That you think it’s “odd” for Nexus to remove a bigoted anti-trans mod is such a red flag lol.

Gullible,

Huh, just considering practicality, how many new characters would one have to create in order to save rather than waste downloading this? Given the time required to download, read, and set up, I’d guess somewhere in the range of 20-30 characters.

Speedrunners might download a mod to skip setup entirely, not a single option. Of the millions who purchased starfield, perhaps a few dozen might use this ergonomically. Neat.

SuddenDownpour,

Speedrunners might download a mod to skip setup entirely, not a single option.

I’m pretty sure that this would disqualify the run, unless it’s specifically allowed in a particular category.

Gullible,

Practice mods are occasionally used if, say, there’s a tricky section 1.5 hours in. With route highlighting or landscape deemphasizing, if necessary. Speedrunning has slowed to a crawl in the last decade so that seems unlikely.

tomi000,

It is not a big deal. It doesnt have to be. Its just a small mod with a small change that some people apparently wanted for their experience. They didnt demand to change the game. I dont see problem with choosing pronouns, but I also dont see a problem with changing pointless stuff in your game.

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

Just pick your pronouns when you create your character. These are people getting their panties in a twist because they are being reminded that other people can choose different pronouns.

PoliticalAgitator, (edited )

These are people getting their panties in a twist because they are being reminded that other people can choose different pronouns.

That’s nothing new. The vast majority of far-right reactionaries know exactly zero trans people. They’re getting upset because a stranger, who exists entirely in their imagination, may have an opinion about their own body that the far-right have not approved as “okay to have”.

Of course, there’s probably deeper reasons that they won’t say out loud. What if they accidentally find a “man” attractive? What if they have to treat a casual acquaintance with basic human decency?

The horror.

Kirkkh,

That’s the best part of this. People getting really exhausted over other people having freedom.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

I'd imagine for some, the problem is being reminded they too can choose. And they've had the option to choose for a long time.

Honestly, that was my biggest issue the idea of asking other people their pronoun was sort of a trend (at least according to the rightwing media? idk; I've never once seen a person ask another person their pronouns in IRL). For some reason I never wondered why I, as a "cis man", I'd be afraid of such a question (especially since I was the type to like when people mistook me for being gay, so it wasn't like I was afraid of having my "masculinity questioned" or was anti-LGBT).

mindbleach, w Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

Only legislation will fix this.

exohuman, w Microsoft's next-generation Xbox pitched as a "cloud hybrid" console
@exohuman@programming.dev avatar

I don’t mind trying out games I haven’t played before using the game cloud feature and then installing it once I know it’s worth the time.

I don’t think I would want the entire console to be cloud based though. Maybe a handheld, but not a console.

smallaubergine, w Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec email

Not very interesting news in my opinion. Lots of companies/CEOs want to acquire other companies.

Considering their policy doesn't allow for other stuff like this, yeah I am not surprised.

Content that may be generally construed as provocative, divisive, objectionable, discriminatory, or abusive toward any real-world individual or group, may be subject to moderation. This includes but is not limited to content involving politics, race, religion, gender identity, sexuality, or social class. We tolerate content related to real world issues and events as long as the appropriate tag ("Real World Issues") is used and the content is handled in a tasteful, respectful, and non-inflammatory manner. Users who do not wish to see such content should make use of our content blocking feature.

Reminds me of the time when a Spiderman mod removed the VERY few instances of a pride flag in a recreation of NEW YORK CITY and a Skyrim mod that removed any potential gay romances that only occur when wearing a very specific amulet (including a single dead skeleton couple off the beaten path.)

Those got booted as well cause.....come on now. Its blatantly targeting a group of people about their sexuality and gender who have BARELY any presence to begin with in these games.

Starfield is even more egregious as its LITERALLY just a menu option and the rare use in dialogue....

Really pathetic and sad people would even feel the need to make them to begin with. Let alone feel the need to upload them to a platform.
