mnemonicmonkeys,

Found the bootlicker

mnemonicmonkeys,

And if they don’t want to always use that specific account, they can set it up for family sharing

mnemonicmonkeys,

I guarantee that you’ll get crickets for 99% of those emails

mnemonicmonkeys,

And Ubisoft can go fuck themselves with a cactus

mnemonicmonkeys,

He has hired a few contractors to help build out features like co-op, (though the first few versions were entirely him on his own). That would eat into profits a bit, but even if he paid each of them $100k for their work there are few enough for it to be a drop in the bucket

mnemonicmonkeys,

If it’s literally the first thing on startup, anyone annoyed can just refund it

mnemonicmonkeys,

Japan actually has a rather conservative culture, particularly in politics, so comparing them to US Republicans os very apt

mnemonicmonkeys,

c/patientgamers

It costs them money to include, so they’ll take it out eventually

mnemonicmonkeys,

Or they’re ConcernedApe

mnemonicmonkeys,

Or resetera

mnemonicmonkeys,

Also earlier this year they stole purchased content from millions of their customers

mnemonicmonkeys,

Comedy is just tragedy + time

mnemonicmonkeys,

You have to put in an actual support ticket. There’s examples of people who wrote something like “The publusher is forcing me to sign up to a 3rd party and I do not consent”

mnemonicmonkeys,

How do those boots taste?

mnemonicmonkeys,

Well, they’ve already announce that they’re just doing a slightly upgraded switch for their next console

mnemonicmonkeys,

Revolt is still a thing, though apparently they’re trying to rebuild voice chat

mnemonicmonkeys,

There’s Revolt.chat

Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like

I'm developing 'Horn of Balance', a 2D zelda-like featuring 12 non-linear dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and a TON of secrets.

Right now, the project is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hornofbalance/horn-of-balance) and we've almost hit the funding goal with just 24 hours left!

There's also a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738140/Horn_of_Balance/) and Itch.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

mnemonicmonkeys,

Uh huh. That’s what Palworld said.

And Nintendo still hasn’t filed a lawsuit against them, despite years of development time, millions of copues downloaded, and millions made in profit

mnemonicmonkeys,

They don’t need to if the assets are just similar instead of straight-up copies

mnemonicmonkeys,

Dude, you really need to go touch some grass

mnemonicmonkeys,

They tell all of their users that they must have a legitimate physical copy of Pokemon Firered, which is what PokeMMO was hacked from

There is one uncleared level remaining in Super Mario Maker, with 18 days to go before the servers shut down (www.issmmbeatenyet.com) angielski

UPDATE: Ahoyoo has confirmed that Trimming the Herbs was uploaded with TAS tools, meaning that The Last Dance was the final legitimate level all along! Congrats to kazeihinn on the Last First Clear! The journey continues in Super Mario Maker 2…...

mnemonicmonkeys,

Piracy is ethical

mnemonicmonkeys,

I never liked Gavin, but I never pegged him as a racist. Not sure if I should feel vindicated

mnemonicmonkeys,

You’re missing that the Yuzu repository was not DMCA’d. The Yuzu team took down their own repository, most likely as part of the settlement

Epic Games reportedly hit by 189GB hack, including login and payment info (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

The report comes from Cyber Daily, who also broke the news of last year’s confirmed hack attack on Insomniac Games. The site claims that new ransomware group Mogilevich are the culprits, as per the screencap of a darkweb posting above, and that the hackers are now trying to get Epic or another party to pay up for the return of...

mnemonicmonkeys,

At least that’s how it’s supposed to be. You’re really not supposed to store card info yourself.

Don’t forget that we’re talking about a company that took 3 years to add a shopping cart to their store

How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? (lemmy.world) angielski

So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me. However I’ve noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to “give out” over the course of a couple months. For instance I’ll be...

mnemonicmonkeys,

I like my Gulikit Kong Pro controller. It has an xbox-style layout when you swap around the face buttons and has hall effect sensors

What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3? angielski

I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I’d check out a let’s play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn’t...

mnemonicmonkeys,

To be pedantic, PF1 is lightly modified 3.5E. 2nd Edition is rather different

mnemonicmonkeys,

They can barely make AAA A these days though

FTFY

mnemonicmonkeys,

They’re finally giving a score below 7 lol

mnemonicmonkeys,

TBF, she did go on a tirad against players when the game was getting ciriticized. I found it weird that she took the criticism of the game’s writing so personally despite her not being one of the writers.

Keep in mind that I’m not excusing the death theats. That shit isn’t okay. I’m just pointing out why she may have been targeted for harassment.

mnemonicmonkeys,

They are as disposable as you want them to be. I personally try to take good care of my pals

mnemonicmonkeys,

I hope the devs add a way to release the pals withou the butcher knife. My box is starting to fill up and I need space

mnemonicmonkeys,

They’re similar because they’re based on the same real-world animals. And they’re no more similar to Pokemon than the examples of Pokemon ripping off designs from Dragon Quest

mnemonicmonkeys,

that doesnt make it taste bad.

No, that’s just the preservatives

mnemonicmonkeys,

From what I hear, that’s par for the course with most Japan-focussed websites

mnemonicmonkeys,

Legally? No, it’s not time for it to enter public domain.

That being said, yes, Pokemon should be close. The original copyright term in the US was 17 years with an additional 17 years extension. 34 years is plenty time to get money out of a work. It’s time we stop letting corporations exploit the public domain without giving back

mnemonicmonkeys,

Parhfinder 2 (which I have not actually played yet) did not do that. They opted for streamlining the existing system by combining several similar subsystems into one (i.e. everything is a feat now). But the math is still there.

I disagree. I’ve played 5E and GM PF2E (so I’m biased, but informed). In PF2E there’s no stacking bonuses of the same type, and there’s only 3 bonus types now.

Also, while there’s a ton of feats, Paizo didn’t just toss everything into feats.

PF2E is built off of a few frameworks for subsystems, one of which being character creation. There’s also the monster creation framework which allows homebrewing creatures and encounters that follow challenge rating suggestions. There’s even guidelines for building your own subsystems for thibgs like investigation, chases, research, etc. That are easy to learn get you fairly close to what Paizo would design themselves.

Meanwhile, the streamlining of 5E that you’re hinting at is WotC stripping out almost all character options. I always got tired of D&D campaigns by level 5 because your biggest meaningful choices are at 1st and 3rd level unless you start making multiclass abominations. And there’s also little support for GM’s, requiring each one to come up with their own rules for things like how ships work or designing magic items.

I’d rather have a system like PF2E that provides options, because you can always choose to ignore them and build your own thing. If you’re playing 5E, you don’t have that choice

mnemonicmonkeys,

Then go promote GOG or itch.io. Don’t support companies with monopolistic behavior

mnemonicmonkeys,

Except it’s not, it’s all subjective to the individual. Congrats, you manipulated your partner for no reason.

mnemonicmonkeys,

At least in the US, we have a lifetime for exclusive rights, at which point the material moves into the public domain. It really seems like a good system to me.

It’s not a good system to have it be 50 years past the death of the creator. Having access to content in public domain has historically caused art to flourish by serving as a base for creators to build off of. But for the past few decades companies have been plundering from public domain while not contributing anything back.

Our original copyright system in the US gave a baseline 17 years of copyright, with an additional 17 years extension that you could apply to. 34 years is a perfectly fair span of time to get value out of your creation because nobody is going to wait that long to get access to art they want. But it also ensured that the public domain continually had new content added that wasn’t completely antiquated. This is the system we should be pushing to return to.

mnemonicmonkeys,

So… you have a single bad dragon?

mnemonicmonkeys,

Unfortunately they cram at least one of the World Tour tracks into every one of the new cups. I can’t stand playing the new cups because of them

mnemonicmonkeys,

There is legitimate criticism, but there’s a lot of complete shit. I’ve heard people complain about procedurally generated planets that you have to go out of your way to interact with. There’s complaints of bullet sponge enemies from people who insisted on going to level 40 areas at level 20. Both of those complaints are bullshit

mnemonicmonkeys, (edited )

Agreed. I often spend 30-60 min in an area trying to find an ideal outpost location. The limuts on how far you can go on planets are already huge. From what I recall, the total area is comparable to Skyrim, though I’ll have to double check that

Edit: Yeah, literally every individual explorable area in the game is larger than the entire map of Skyrim or Fallout 4. Source: thenerdstash.com/how-big-starfield-is-open-world-…

mnemonicmonkeys,

PC gamer has done a fair bit of shilling for Epic Games the past few years, so you need to take everything they say with a pinch of salt

mnemonicmonkeys,

Actually, a surprising number of areas with doors or fast travel between them don’t need it. The entirety of New Atlantis’s exterior is a single cell. Same with Neon

mnemonicmonkeys,

For starters, they put so little developments money into EGS that they went two years without a shopping cart, a feature that effectively every other online store has and could be custom coded properly in a day

mnemonicmonkeys,

Would it though? Being a competitor to Valve, not sucking, and not pulling shady anti-consumer shit would result in immediate good will for a decently large (though disproportionately loud) section of the market. Hell, EGS failed at the 2nd and 3rd thjngs in that list and they still got a loyal fanbase
