I had a similar experience tbh. Never played on release, got it a few months ago with Phantom Liberty, really had to push myself through the first “act” which honestly felt like all preamble. Jackie never felt particularly believable to me as a character, he was honestly kinda annoying with how eager he was and the “one more job and we’re out” trope, then I was clearly supposed to have grown attached because of a montage of our adventures I didn’t get to experience?

Congrats to Billy Basso and to Bigmode for the positive reviews! Always good to see a new IP, studio, and even publisher come out the gate strong.

You’re right I forgot! I only remembered the headstone in the hunters dream just being there.

Closer to Bloodborne’s Amygdala, though it doesn’t take you to the DLC it does transport you somewhere else. But hey ER, BB, same difference.

The Runaway Jury

They know and they don’t care. In fact, that’s the point.

The first review on the steam page sums up my thoughts pretty well. There are some mechanical decisions that I just don’t know if they will mesh with the game they’re trying to make here, like the crafting, the attack telegraphing, the death penalties, the UI “cross” a la Dark Souls. I really want to love this coming from the Ori devs, and it’s got some serious potential, but those seem like things that are gonna be tough to change at this stage.

I don’t blame the movie for sexist crap existing in the past, I blame the movie for continuing to perpetuate it in today’s world. They can redesign her however they want (unless Hasbro(?) restricts them.) They’re already re-interpreting the design into this “style” so make the giant transforming robot not conform to outdated stereotypical concepts lol.

Fuckin nice.

Just leave already then, it’s fine.

Not just Amazon. So much plastic waste is designated recyclable with caveats, caveats that the average consumer is not aware of and will not follow up on.

Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn’t need to be phrased as a “warning” though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it’s a data harvesting tool, but such is life.

Yeah that’s kinda strange. Hardware shouldn’t be included in top game sales…

I think it’s that but also a lot of stuff about the culture in Blizzard itself has come to light, maybe as a result of the extra optics the Activision merger had on the company. Activision can certainly take some heat here but let’s not pretend Blizzard itself is a golden child.

The fuck does the title mean with XXXX? A joke on their AAAA Skull and Bones claim? The article does not elaborate.

I think it’s just a matter of trends and design theory. For a long time you couldn’t escape the orange/blue combo like in the Battlefield series artwork. Plus I don’t think all these titles really released at the “same” time.

What a nothing title for your game.

Seems to be the way. I assume it’s for investor hype but I don’t know.

There are 3rd party tools you can use (you’ll have to figure that out yourself tho, I haven’t used them myself) but AFAIK there’s no legit way to get a trade-evolved mon without trading, and unfortunately there are no wild Machamp in Sun/Moon.

I don’t really have a good answer for you, but I mean you yourself used the word “resistant” to exploits, not impervious. Nothing is bulletproof, so if a user has any concern, rational or not, what’s the harm in covering it?

Maybe your question really doesn’t have to do with the webcam question, it’s more about the level of trust you should or should not have in your software. And that, to me, depends largely on the individual.
