My bet is on troll factory workers slinging ideas around to see what and who sticks, and then they continue to sling ideas with their growing group. That was what the early days strategy of The_Donald on reddit were.

It doesn’t matter that lemmy is relatively unimportant, what matters to them is having a testbed for what is and isn’t sticking along with growing a crowd of supporters they might be able to take elsewhere where it matters.

The adoring fan and characters like claptrap are proof that I would never make it as lead designer for game sequels. I would never include a character like those and think to myself “This needs to be more than an annoying minor side character, I need to bring them closer to begin to the identity of the games.”

You mean the war that is not a war, and the attack that Putin said he wasn’t going to perform until he did, leaving even Putindrones running confused for an excuse because Putin’s cancer was acting up making him panic and rush so even they didn’t know? How’s Prighozin, by the way?

Wanting to join a state power that is infamously non-democratic, faking and manipulating elections and foreign affairs, is inherently a dead give-away that you are a pawn, just like arguing for it.

It’s funny how many trolls and crazy people are attracted to positions of power, I suspect it’s compensation. That last message says it all. Their user seems to have been nuked, at least in their home instance. Ironic they had to remove the same mod they not only criticized but also continued criticized in their remove mod post unironically. Does this mean they will move back to lemmy.world? Didn’t they move out to lemmy.ml?

Michael Jackson is a good example of how being rich and successful can lead to behavior that just feeds into mental sickness. He probably thought being rich and successful justified his aberrant behavior and that he shouldn’t put himself on the level of those below him, until he eventually ended choosing drug abuse over therapy. His whole obsession with children can be traced back to his insecurities that he had been deprived of a childhood, probably in no small part due to growing up as as part of the Jackson musical group family. He must have thought he could relive with his childhood through someone else’s by using his wealth and power to create Neverland Ranch.

If anything is bad about it, it’s that it’s the most Bethedaist game to date. They are going full steam ahead with the Creation Store, and after trying to charge slightly less than 10€ for the second quest to the Tracking Alliance, they are now charging more than 10€ for a standalone quest .

I love the genre, but I’ve just had to stop playing it today because of the extreme whaling monetization. I refuse to be part of a franchise where the whales are going to set its course. They’ve tried to do this with Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but never this early on, and paying so much for a single quest sets a terrible precedent that’s far worse than simple cosmetic horse armor. I can ignore everything else in the Creation Store, but not getting left out of the story and lore of the game because I’m not a whale

They’ve reduced the price by half, but it still seems too high for me, even if it is 5€ - for six of these you could get a full game.

That only points out that Iraq was chosen as a target of opportunity chosen by a war criminal. Funny how the logic of “well it was provoked” just seems to create a feedback loop of hate that principally benefits the most powerful war criminals of both sides of the conflict (see Israel-Iran).

Could be, people want the choice of a platform instead of cheap devices with overpriced games that cost more in the long-term.

I better be able to set the airplane in autopilot and then go out and watch an inflight movie. Unfortunately, walking around inside the plane doesn’t seem possible.

Then again, if I couldn’t walk around the plane while it’s flying upside down or while part of its hull has been ripped off the plane, I would be disappointed. Preferably with NPC coworkers and attendants screaming at you.

Too many capitalist milkshakes, and Turkey has the added incentive of wanting to keep its culture closed off from the rest of the “West”.

Just poor enough not to be affected, had to stick to the 12th generation.

CPUs? No. GPUs running on ARM architecture? Yes.

It’s in a state similar to Linux gaming, it depends on the game. It’s potential is making Intel and AMD sweat, though. AMD is already designing ARM CPUs, but so is NVIDIA. It could be very good … or very bad if they attempt to embrace, extend, and exploit with their own chips.

I think they may have meant a probate court. Steam can ignore or argue against a probate court on several grounds and might have to be taken to a judicial court, GOG may be claiming they would accept the judgement of a probate court. Definitely needs to be expanded upon and clarified.

That’s either awesome or diplomatic. But a court order shouldn’t be needed, that implies going to court which isn’t necessary in some countries.

Really not looking forward to it, even though I’ve played every other game including Tiny Tina’s. They really dropped the ball with the Wonderlands DLC, they undid any and all trust I had in their post-release expansions, so they are really going to have to be announcing some ground-breaking new features if they want me to pay on release. Otherwise, I guess I’ll be playing it in 2028 when it’s discounted, if the state of the world allows it.

I can look past not having iconic villains, as much DLC, or having new releases that are just minor upgrades, but the drop in the expectations for post-release quality, I guess that’s where I draw the line, no pre-orders from me.

Thanks to sh.itjust.works admins and their efforts!

I just assume at this point that it is a problem with any publisher.

“What precision?” - That’s how you know it’s going to get serious. Then after he receives the response, he just replies with “80085”.
