ech,

Are you a hobbit? Cause that’s a dagger/knife.

ech,

What short sword has a handle that makes up nearly half its length?

ech,

The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS’d. It’ll smooth out.

ech,

That is Ness from Smash, though. Ness from Earthbound looks very different.

Why it’s easy is because the window control buttons are slightly different on steam then on every other window on the PC, putting the big picture mode button right behind where the minimize button usually is. Why Valve did this? No fucking clue.

Baldur’s Gate 4 may happen eventually, but not with Larian Studios (www.polygon.com) angielski

It also seems as though plans for a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3 are in the early stages already. Speaking to PC Gamer, Eugene Evans, the senior vice president of digital strategy and licensing for WotC and Hasbro, said the company has already started conversations about what the next Baldur’s Gate game will look like and how...

ech,

Stumbles ass first into giving creative control of their property to one of the most devoted and talented studios of the decade, leading to a wildly successful and popular game.

“That’s great! Let’s give it to someone else!” - some stupid ass exec who can only see ahead one financial quarter at a time.

ech,

Lol, the cognitive dissonance of whining about capitalism because their vidya game got a little more expensive. Not only is the entitlement and hypocrisy off the charts, there are so many ways to play games for cheap and/or free, the criticism is entirely moot. Don’t like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don’t fucking pay it. It’s not that hard.

ech,

Nah, I think I will.

ech,

Mine is neither, but go off.

ech,

And I’ll voice mine.

ech,

Blackmailing customers onto your service isn’t competition.

ech, (edited )

“One for exploring and one for fighting” is much less meta than I was expecting from a “Double-Deckbuilder”.

ech,

It’s an ironic line to start with.

Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! angielski

I feel like my “all-time favorite” changes depending on my mood, but if I had to pick just one, I’d probably go with The Witcher 3. That game just hit all the right notes—amazing story, incredible world-building, and so much stuff to do without feeling like pointless filler. Plus, the expansions were just as good, if not...

ech,

That’s not an inaccurate description. Though context is important - most of the characters know yours through behavior and actions that neither you or the character remember. A lot of the game is playing with how you handle that.

ech, (edited )

I can sympathize with that. The whole game is intentionally bleak and rough, which can be pretty off putting (though it does make the few nice parts exceptionally nice). The devs made a pretty overt choice to focus more on being fairly confrontational art rather than being particularly accommodating to the player.

ech, (edited )

Probably the same price used by SteamDB to calculate library value, which seems to be some version of “current price” or “most recent non-sale price”.

ech,

Mine’s the grim reaper hallway meme and half finished games.

Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

Answering GDC’s 2023 survey, 78% of respondents said they considered the harassment and toxicity developers receive from the public to be a serious issue. A simple sentiment is often the most effective, and the title of Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah’s latest video cuts right to the heart of it: “Your $70 doesn’t buy you...

ech,

No. Not “fair”. You’re just justifying cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

ech,

They were right for many other reasons. This is just one.

ech,

If only there were a way to connect to a network without an intermediary like PSN. Damn shame that it’s impossible.

ech,

To be clear, that was not a thing. Just the PSN account doesn’t require payment. The subscription is for playing in MP and (I think) access to online media like yt.

ech,

Probably, but it hasn’t been on the table yet. Saying that it was is just going to hurt valid criticism.

ech,

Just nabbed 4tb of ssds. Happy to not have to do this anymore (for a while).

ech,

Lol

ech,

Hah, yeah. I’m pretty prolific at filling up my drives as well. Should still help, though!

ech,

There is a steamer named Will Smith as well.

ech,

Booo

ech,

Do you always argue with people that agree with you? How is that helpful?

ech,

Somehow had no idea about the director. Shame. I was considering buying the game on GOG, and from the sounds of it, it’s actually pretty good despite his involvement. Ah well.

ech,

Not many opportunities arise to use the word properly - that industry was decimated.

ech,

would allow studios to raise the price of their own new games by at least $10 to offset declining player numbers

Wonder how much they’ll raise it next when they lose additional sales to absurd prices.

ech,

Or “the company might get pissy with your government for any reason”. No reason to let them off the hook, either.

ech,

They did. And they already are rolling it back, specifically thanking trump for helping to “restore service”. It was all a political stunt, and nobody’s gonna care cause their skinner button got turned back on again.

ech,

It absolutely was.

Video game publishers are starting to use "anti-DEI" as a marketing meme (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

CEO Marek Tyminski was present during the investor call, and later chimed in on Xitter to echo Hill’s points and spread the word to CI Games’s audience of (in Hill’s phrase) “core and adjacent” players. In that tweet, he gives a clunky #shoutout to 2023’s Lords Of The Fallen - a huge success for CI that has been...

ech,

One good thing to come from this shitshow is that it’s made it really easy to figure out what people and companies to never support again. Before I might’ve accidentally supported a bigoted, shithole developer. Now I have a historical record of entities not worth interacting with, let alone giving them money.

ech,

This is just a Project Zomboid screenshot.

ech,

In most cases, acquisition seems to work out poorly for indie studios, but ND has certainly made good use of Sony’s resources while they’ve been there. I’m just glad I get to play their games finally.

ech,

If you remain fixated on the idea that your way to relax is gone, you’ll never be able to find a new way. Life changes, for good and bad. It’s on us to make the best of it.

Day 172 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (pixelfed.social) angielski

Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I first played through it on PS3 when i was younger and have fond memories of it, especially the story. Though Unity will always have my favorite game play, Black Flags story will always be one of my favorites....

ech, (edited )

Black Flag was/is such an enjoyable game. I always wanted the option to have an npc take the helm so I could head up to the crows nest and just chill out, watching the sea pass by and listening to the crew sing shanties while we sailed off to wherever. Still holding out some slim hope that some modder will randomly take up the task some day, hah, though it seems like the modding options for BF are very limited, judging by what’s available.

The Two Genders (beehaw.org) angielski

[alt text: Text which says, “The 2 genders according to chuds”. Below the text is two images. On the left is an image of Geralt from The Witcher 3, and he is labeled, “Male, parentheses (white)”. On the right is an image of Ciri from The Witcher 4 trailer, and she is labeled, “Political”.]

ech,

Developing from a pretty, young, “vulnerable” girl that needs saving (even though she’s already tough as hell in TW3) into an older (chud translation: “ugly”) main protagonist fighting back against the patriarchy has these fools spitting with outrage. Here’s hoping CDPR doesn’t give them an inch.

ech,

There are certainly some, but that bit was more about certain creatins on this planet treating any woman nearing 30 as detestable.

ech,

Re: the ending and Part II - It pissed me of in particular because I specifically went for a leg shot in that scene, and then Joel just goes on a rampage. And then it turns into a big revenge plot in the sequel for the very thing I didn’t want to do. It was all very frustrating.

ech, (edited )

I’ve been thinking recently about how the game would feel if you spend the first half of the game as Abby

Ooh. That’s a pretty clean fix for my bigger gripes about the game. I nearly put the game down when the second half was revealed. It felt so forced. Still don’t love the forced participation in the torture porn at the end, but switching the order of perspectives would def be better.

ech,

Maybe look into the game being discussed even a little before commenting on it.

ech,

It’s literally not.

ech,

And yet you say it’s cause of “gambling”. So you’re either lying about looking into it or lying about what you saw.

ech,

So lying about looking into it. Got it.

ech,

Unnecessarily long

Lol. “How dare you give me a comprehensive explanation of specifically what I asked about! Rude!” What is rude is being so shitty to someone that went out of their way to try and help you understand something, acting like it was a personal insult. How selfish and demanding of you.
