You aren’t dehumanizing anyone. Nazis did the dehumanizing themselves, who are you to object to that personal freedom of choice.

It’s also important to keep in mind that intolerance cannot be fought off with tolerance. It’s not possible. You have to not tolerate the intolerant.

Aren’t federal judges Article III judges?

If so, congress can remove them. The same congress that’s in republican hands, too.

That’s like the one review site I don’t trust, because it’s steam users. One of the worst parts of human existence, on a level with 4chan in many regards.

It can be good for a “vibe”. Like if something is mostly negative, might be worth looking into. But for an actual review? That’s just not what it is.

I think compared to something as big as the Switch 2, SteamOS on another niche PC handheld, as important as it is to us consumers, just wouldn’t even register.

It’s like that EA thing, 50% too few sales on DAVG, but the chickens are running around in a panic over 5% less gacha sales in FC24 instead. 😅

Oooooh, I just finished this. Really really well done game.

There are some minor parts that could have been better (like not being able to skip/FFWD text) and it’s not quite as good in its shock or horror as DDLC or so while also not being quite as good in its meta-narrative as Stanley Parable but honestly that’s such a minor criticism it really doesn’t matter. Fantastic experience, and some super nice jump scares in there, including a few where you expected one and then there’s a different one.

I mean the game is… okay, anyways. Which in the context of a Dragon Age is disappointing as fuck even after the boredom simulator that was DAI. But it’s not like anything is particularly bad either, not even the dialogue. It’s… fine. Aggressively mediocre, even.

Good.

Plus it’s an actual straight upgrade, what with backwards compatibility and all.

Interesting, since we now know the size I would not have expected it to be on-par roughly with the Deck while being so much thinner and a bit smaller. Hrm.

Yeah it’s going to be the same as PS4 on PS5. The disclaimer is on every game.

I find it fascinating that they’re supposedly going bankrupt.

Aren’t they… big? Don’t they have tons of assets? Shouldn’t they be, still, sitting on a pile of cash?

Carighan, 2 miesiące temu

I know people working there, in towns where little other opportunities for such jobs exist. I… really don’t fancy the prospect of Ubisoft going bankrupt.

I mean the same is true of Youtube or “content creator” culture as a whole, only the money pile there is too big to have imploded (so far).

How does doing it again under a different URL change anything? Or do you inherently fail to understand that the problem isn’t about a specific site?

I agree, easily the city builder I sunk the most hours into in the last 10+ years compared to all other ones combined.

They also keep adding to it with more world events, a new resource (salt), new biomes, and with the expansion a whole new race.

I find it fascinating how prude other people are from what is the level of “normal” in my social circle.

As if I don’t proudly rock that Subverse and Aurelia on my Steam Library! 💗

So we’re using a bad mechanism (exclusivity deals) to make people use an inferior product (Epic vs Steam), but “It’s totally going to be better for you in the future bro, trust me!”.

I’m sorry, but can we make it sound any more like a scam? It’s not quite there yet. Can you add something with crypto or AI or an MLM?

Epic has a lot of money, they should find a way to offer a better service in some ways like Gog does.

Gearbox Games, Robert Space Industries and Ubisoft are the big ones that come to mind.

Both indirectly (via just not respecting their customers in their products at all) and even directly (look at Dandy Pitchforks constantly whining about the mean mean players).

Same. Fehlt like a very early game experiment.

Nothing, I got more than enough games left to play:

• Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC
• Shadow Gambit DLC
• Tactical Breach Wizards
• AI2 Nirvana Initiative
• Unicorn Overlord
• Mario&Luigi Brothership
• Against The Storm

… and actually a bunch more I can’t even recall right now…

I mean yeah, no shit. The steam forums could be removed at no loss to the human race, in fact it’d remove a non-negligible percentage of all really shitty talk on the internet if they deleted everything entirely.

It’s up to each game dev to police their forums, AFAIK.

It sounds like they actually control quite a lot.

Turns out, when you do something clearly not okay and then actively go and taunt the people who could sue you for it with it, they might just, you know, do that. Since you actually went and asked them about it.

Yeah it’s the same when people say this about FFXIV, which does have an extensive money-shop for extra mounts/animations/skins/etc.

They’re pricey as hell, but at the same time the only thing you ever might feel pressured into getting are:

• Fantasia (character do-overs) after enough years because you feel like you’ve seen enough of this face and want another one and want to finally become a cat-girl like everybody else is! The game does however give you two for free, and we’re soon getting a third one, at least temporarily.
• Character boosts if your friends are being assholes and berate you for not skipping the story (seen it happen), instead of what 99% of the community does which is the exact opposite. 😅

Someone owned a patent for minigames on the loading screen which is why we did not get thise after Broken Sword. At least that expired, so now for example we got Mario Party Jamboree doing it again.

Yeah but have you seen the cutscenes of DA:V?

If that childish word salad sounds “preachy” to you, you need to go to a different preacher! Yours can’t even english.

How can this sound preachy to anybody? Has the fascist right lowered their own standard of education enough to where they think Marvel-style dialogue is normal?!

Carighan, 4 miesiące temu

Yeah I suspect they own the remaining titles. So there’s no cost to keeping them on there. I was also really surprised they keep swinging at the concept, considering how tepid the reception was beyond the original internet hype for Bandersnatch. Which makes sense, people don’t watch movies to actively be ready to press a button on short notice, you don’t exactly sit down on the sofa to go “Oh I know, how about 1,5h of QTE threat?”.

It’s a very cool concept, but one that targets the wrong audience, basically.

I mean despite how I feel the linked article’s author uses a type of language that makes me wary of them, I kinda agree. The utterly Marvel way the game talks about things combined with the inane inability to ever have any conflict, negatives or issues combines to essentially make a mockery of very real issues.

And I’m sorry, it’s one thing to want to use art to showcase real issues and poke at them and shine a spotlight onto them. That’s good, personally I want art to do that. But when you essentially use it as a joke piece due to the inherently non-serious nature of all your scenes, it just becomes even worse than not doing it. 😔 Please don’t shine a light onto serious topics if the only thing you use the light for is to point and laugh and mock.

Not remotely comparable, but sure, if you are like many here already a hobbyist PC gamer, you probably rather want a Steam Deck.

Carighan, 5 miesięcy temu

Yeah, sorry, you’re not going to try have a neutral perspective about this, are you?

But humor me, why are so many Switch still being sold if other stuff is so superior? After all, like you said, they’re quite comparable and hey, Deck seems strictly superior. Right?

Carighan, 5 miesięcy temu

Uh, yes of course? The customers for a console and a handheld PC aren’t the same so naturally the former wants a game posted to the console?

🤷‍♀️

No I did not, you seemingly want a by-date system for the site, which feels quite a bit weird considering how people usually use review sites. Hence the prod at your comment. Basically, adding a site like opencritic to an RSS-reader makes no sense, and I say this with someone running multiple custom filters over nearly 120 subscriptions for my daily news dose.

Hrm, I’ll be honest then, you’re the very very first time I hear someone wanting to consume game reviews meta aggregation in a chronological way (instead of by-game). Not once seen this sentiment before.

I dunno, it’s just not how people use these pages I would assume. You create search shortcuts for them, not RSS feeds. You want to look up what various reviewers at large say about a specific game, more so because this changes over time (so would a feed udoate each time the score changes? Only once on the very first review? Only once it stops updating for X time? What if that takes months?). It’s the polar opposite of once you have 2-3 reviewers who mirror your personal take well where you might want to know each time these people post a new review.
