Until he’s sued and has to choose between losing their house and livelihood or maintaining it

God I hate when something good comes around that flaunts a rule and people make it a huge fucking deal and then are all shocked pikachu when the company is mad about it. If there’s something like this keep it fucking quiet you rubes. Share the github quietly, or just upvote it on NexusMods. Don’t go plastering it everywhere.

Yuzu got shut down because it got plastered everywhere, they essentially normalized privacy. Of course Nintendo was going to take them down. If you basically plaster it on their front door you’re begging them to take action.

Yeah of course - just have fun paying your own lawyer 6 figures to prove that in court while their team of lawyers try to convince a judge that it is illegal.

Okay well I’m not going to sit here and argue semantics. People have been sued by corporations before just for mods, that has happened a lot. All I was doing was simply pointing out that what they are doing is noble, but that we should never trust a corporation to not take the hammer out and try to destroy it, and keeping it quiet helps keep it out of their sphere for a while longer.

What you need to know

Nothing. There’s too much stuff coming out about Veilguard. I don’t need to know how combat works, I don’t need to know every detail about my companions, I don’t need to know the maps. I’ll find out when I play it ffs

Nah, 2 generations minimum. Rereleasing the game so the next generation can still play it is one thing, but this is weird.

It’s literally the exact reason for the QUIT HAVING FUN meme. So you think it’s a rip off, so you’re disappointed with it. Fine, don’t buy it. But other people are having fun, and they can enjoy it just as much as you don’t.

Personally, I am playing Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 on easy. They come from an era where if you aren’t suffering through it then you must really suck. Personally, I don’t have time to fight the same boss for an hour only to die when he gets down to the last 5% and start over again, I only get a few hours after work to game. However, the story is honestly pretty good, and I recommend them - if you play on easy.

Yeah they made the genius decisions that new players should be dropped into whatever dlc they were Hocking right then and worse than that they removed dlc, never to be played again. They burned some hard bridges with me on that

Nope, even then they burned me, I think Bungie is officially dead as I used to know it.

To have it in the first place though while the game is still active, horrid idea in the first place.

I’m really happy that the one time I got to visit the UK was during Liz Truss’ time in office. It was wild seeing the protestors, and when I landed back at home I heard she was gone.

This is a big reason why inceldom has risen imo. Not because of the content, but because of groups of men all reinforcing this behavior.

Now, I won’t lie, roleplay or imagination is one thing, but going online and normalizing this behavior in public is a very very different. Thing, and changes and normalizes that it’s okay to do around real women. Thoughts and behaviors change, and then they wonder why real actual women want nothing to do with them.

In essence, hey if impregnation is your kink, you do you. You talk that way in public? Pretty weird bro.

scrubbles, miesiąc temu

and that’s the real issue I see, is that in inceldom, the line between fantasy and reality is so blurred that they don’t understand the social norms. If r*pe kink is your thing, and your partner and you like to do it, I think that’s fine. personally I don’t like it, but it’s you in your private home and it’s your thing, I’m not going to be the one to say not to.

The key though is that there’s a hard line between fantasy and reality, and if you start thinking that real, live women want that, that 's a huge red line you crossed, and same with most other things.

Idk, like you said people are weird, and we desperately try to fit them into boxes, and when it comes to sex that’s nearly impossible. The key is knowing that what you’re into at home is very different than what you do to real people. I’m rambling a bit, but consent is really the thing. Real people need to consent, unlike online fantasies.

Finally someone in industry is saying it. Execs are doing layoffs because they thought covid driven revenue would last forever, and that was a moronic thought. Like people would ever be at home in those numbers again, all at once, desperate for things to do. They could have used that time better, and they didn’t. Of course the market was going to dip after covid.

Great article. That’s exactly how I feel playing games like that too. They’re so well done, and the world’s are so great. They just forget the game part of the game.

I don’t think it’s dead. As it is it is going to evolve, not die.

Primary roles will be acted, that won’t go away. It’s too noticeable when it’s not a real actor when you’re with your pal for 120 hours. Johnny Silverhand or Garrus Vikarian would be jarring not having a real human.

NPCs, however, I worry about. Those random interactions I see contracts changing, where actors will have to give rights to train on their voice, where some key moments may be spoken the the rest is regenerated.

AI isn’t magic, and there are some real pitfalls around it. It can get pretty close, but someone who is paying attention will always notice.

Yeah, after replaying a couple of times idk why but the training area felt very locked in and long, but really it’s only 3 missions.

Just remember, it’s Ubisoft, and it’s on their cloud dependent engine. Treat everything about it as if it was a rental, because someday they’ll take it away. If they do that that’s their choice, but I’ll be waiting until it’s rental prices before I play.

scrubbles, 2 miesiące temu

Me, because no one else will be so the price will drop :)

Well first I don’t know for sure, but I would be very surprised if it didn’t require it just from a game aspect because every Ubisoft game has lately even assassin’s Creed games.

Second, I was talking about the engine itself that they’re using. If it’s the one I think it is, they’re streaming data from the cloud constantly which would mean that it has to be always online

Cyberpunk personally, have done it a couple of times. I can just soak into the couch playing that game. My average playthrough time is about 150 amazing hours

I also have a harder time with older games, but RDR1 is definitely an exception. It’s worth playing for sure, and RDR2 is probably the best game I’ve ever played. It’s worth the time.

Although I’m still mad, the remade the whole damn RDR1 map inside RDR2 for future online stuff and they didn’t bother to just remaster RDR1 as a DLC? So fucking stupid. Would have been just a pure profit generator

I think this is a good point. Heavy gamers are going PC. More flexibility and more ways for them to play. That leaves casual gamers, which previously might buy a console, but it’d eventually collect dust. New game streaming services serve them better.

Good. I’ll happily see my favorite games delayed for this. AI isn’t a huge threat to the movie or TV industry actors, but it’s a massive threat to video game actors. It’s absolutely shameful when a handful of studios receive massive profits and they want to shortchange the people at the bottom.

This paired with the news yesterday of studios starting to unionize gives me hope. It’s about time, they’ve been taking advantage of their workers for so long, they deserve to see what that does long term. I hope they lose 10x from a strike and unionization vs just paying their employees fairly.

It’s a microsoft product, so according to microsoft it absolutely is. It could be the most profitable product on the planet and they’d say it’s still underperforming.

who would have guessed that laying off an entire studio overnight would have repercussions, ey Microsoft?

Immediately went from papa microsoft who believes in the studio to “Make money or GTFO”

I work with a lot of ex-microsofters, and this sounds about normal. In Microsoft-land you only get funding if you’re profitable - and even then you need to be wildly profitable. They don’t care about being startup costs, or getting to profitability, if you aren’t right now you’re going to have to beg and plead for funding.

Of course then they’re immediately surprised that things aren’t just profitable immediately, and take time to build a userbase, and wonder why they’re constantly behind on the latest tech. God forbid they actually invest in promising tech…

The problem is that for every one of us uh… “Serious” gamers there are 3 who aren’t like us. Top of my head:

• the casual gamer, who isn’t opposed to micro transactions
• the whales, from big to small who get addicted to these
• children who have (I’ll say it) not great parents who just let them buy stuff so they keep quiet and playing their Nintendos

I’m sure there’s more, and I’m sure my list is not accurate, but we are a very tiny slice unfortunately. Still doesn’t mean I’m giving them a dime. I proudly wear the basic free armor in Halo Infinite hoping that someday they’ll see me running around and know that I’m playing a free game, years later, never paying them.

It was amazing promo for 3 when they did this, they knew how to hype it perfectly. I watched this so many times back then

so it begins (with game pass).

That’s honestly refreshing. Gaming companies think that people have to play their game constantly, and that’s such a weird take. Who watches the same movie every day without watching something else in between?

I remember halo Infinite thought they were going to be the next game to do that, like destiny. No, it’s okay to put down a game and walk away. I don’t care about how many season passes you have or other garbage to try and get me addicted. I’ll play it sometimes, other times I won’t.

god forbid they have expectations of “successful” instead of “most profitable game in our company’s history”. I don’t think PUBG or WoW set out to be the successes they were, it just happened, I wish companies knew that that success can’t be planned for

scrubbles, 3 miesiące temu

Uh nope. If you followed satisfactory then you’d know that’s absolutely not true. They’ve continuously added features, worked with the community, and now they’re finally publishing the finished polished product.

With all the hate companies for being in perma EA, you’d think gamers would be happy when games leave EA. Nope, apparently gamers are just mad no matter what.

scrubbles, 3 miesiące temu

You didn’t ask, you accused them of it, and they definitely don’t deserve the accusation. If you had asked, I would have responded that actually no, they’ve done an amazing job all through EA, and should be a model for games going forward
