otp,

I don’t seem to recall Nintendo making me pay anything for something I didn’t want.

I’m 100% in favour of emulation and whatnot, but I don’t understand what your problem is.

Remakes, re-releases and ports? What’s the big deal? If you had BotW on the WiiU, don’t buy it on the Switch. TotK came out on the Switch, so they’re still releasing new games.

Again, I love the emulation scene and I know piracy is important for game preservation. I don’t understand what your complaint is, though…

otp,

I don’t get it. What’s wrong with a free game from Epic?

otp,

Do you really want to support a company

I don’t think getting freebies from them counts as supporting them

otp,

But it’s not a sale. It’s a game, and it’s provided for free, and as of right now there is no end date where your access to the game will expire. No money leaves your wallet.

I still don’t understand.

Is this some sort of coping mechanism by people who paid for the game 10 years ago?

… because unless you bought it from GOG over Steam (which is my preferred place to buy digital games, not Epic), you’re in the same boat: Haven’t bought a game, you’ve bought a license. Except with Epic, it’s $0.00 today.

otp,

Of course it’s part of the equation.

It’s part of the equation on Steam and GOG, too.

So unless you bought a physical copy of this game and kept it off the internet (not sure if anyone is collecting any data through FO3 itself), or got it gifted to you through GOG and you don’t have an account there, you’re in the same boat. Except you paid for the game with money in addition to data.

otp,

It’s definitely a game in the modern sense. If you want games in the traditional sense, your choices are pretty much GOG and physical copies. And even those aren’t a guarantee, with things like…

  • “Physical copies” that are really just download codes or a DRM key on a disc
  • Day one patches
  • Patches that make the game drastically different than it was on launch, particularly when the game was drastically different (aka. shittier) on its unpatched launch
  • Games that require proprietary servers to run the game properly, and won’t be kept alive after a certain date because they won’t release the required code for fans to run their own servers

For a lot of gamers, “licenses to games” or any of the above cases make up the majority of the games they play. Yet we still call them gamers, we still call them games, and we still call it gaming.

otp,

That doesn’t seem to be a contingency plan; just a claim that there will be one.

otp,

Ok, but they give free games so it’s cool. They’ll surely make a lot of money off of my “never pays us” behavioural data

otp,

I think the problem is that he said he’d likely turn to crime again.

If he’d just say “No, this was my last time, I’ll be good now”, he’d be in a different situation. Maybe doing exactly what you said after serving a much more reasonable sentence.

otp,

Blackmail I a company is one thing. Targetting the personal lives of employees is another level entirely.

otp,

I’m not sure why you’d be the leader of LGBT, but you’re welcome to suggest an alternative.

While you’re at it, could you also change the icon of the USA? Stars and stripes could be so much cooler without being tied to Captain America.

otp,

Just shut down the computer

otp,

If you’re on Windows, hit the Windows key (or open the start bar) and find the icon that looks like a circle with a vertical dash through to top of it. From there, you’re looking for “shut down”.

This will safely turn off your computer so that the lights will turn off.

otp,

I should’ve expected piracy, but my first thought was giveaways, lmao

otp,

Yeah, the uh, “trans characters” almost definitely would’ve been cut or modified.

You’d offend people who think that stuff shouldn’t be in video games, and you’d also offend people who think they’re poor “representation”.

Even Fassad could be a little questionable from a cultural-sensitivity perspective.

Not saying I think these should be cut, but that was likely Nintendo’s justification. Combined with the fact that the GBA was on its way out even when the Japanese version was released.

I have a sliver of hope for a release on the NSO expansion bundle, though.

otp,

It seems counter-intuitive to make a racing game’s optimal strategy to lag behind the rest of the other racers

otp,

Knocking opponents off the stage is close enough to lowering their HP to 0.

Being slower than everyone else is the opposite of being faster than everyone else. It does seem like it’s cheesing the system that’s supposed to balance things out.

Even items in Smash Bros has a skill component in getting to the item first. And “rubber band” mechanics like bonus final smashes (and items in general) can be turned off.

otp,

Isn’t the competitive default online in Mario Kart to have items on?

otp,

When the Smash meta revolves around playing sub-optimally until the other player trips, let me know.

otp,

Is it because of wind resistance? The one in front cuts through the wind for everyone else?

otp,

Interesting!

otp,

I meant sub-optimally in terms of actually racing. Optimal speed would be getting the lowest time in the race. Bagging would be aiming to not get the fastest lap each time. I probably could’ve chosen a better word, my bad.

I’m not upset about anything. But isn’t this post about Nintendo removing/reducing bagging? So maybe some others are upset about that change. But it seems like a good thing to me.

otp,

I think lagging behind for OP items is less interesting than a skill-based race.

In a party environment, those OP items are great. Bullet Bills help the new player spice up the friendly environment. But if the pro is lagging behind specifically to get OP items, I think that makes it less fun and less interesting.

GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com) angielski

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

otp,

Just because someone has some criteria that they use to judge value for money doesn’t mean that you have to follow it…

otp,

The less someone actually plays games, the more this idea will make sense to them.

Gamers, especially older gamers, will know this is a BS metric.
