Let’s be clear, Linus was always a smarmy prick...but when you are a relative nobody, that isn’t a big deal. Once he got high on his own products, the cracks started to show. The fact that he is PROUD his shop is anti union and there are NO black on air or behind the scene talent, it solidified everything I needed to…

looks like you forgot about minecraft.

I have. Thats why I said Id pay anything for an NMS 2. I accept NMS one has become what it has.

I mean, you absolutely do not need to do actual water flow, if you give up on the Minecraftification. Proc gen rivers are fine if they’re allowed to be static and not let the player futz with them. Which is kind of my point. They had a choice between making compelling natural environments to discover and explore, and…

No, you haven’t, because it’s not in the game. Show me real gameplay footage that evokes anything close to what that footage, or the accompanying descriptions of the gameplay loop at the time, does and I’ll eat my shoe.

To put an even finer point on it, the game was pitched as being heavily about exploration and…

For better and worse, one word: Shenmue.

While I get what you’re trying to say, just gonna throw this out there; a lot of the “everyday” activities described here are still escapism for someone like me, who has only ever lived in an American suburban sprawl environment where these are absolutely not common everyday occurrences that I can relate to.

The only gripe I have is WHERE IS THE RUMBLE?!? like why is that always excluded in 3rd party controllers? the weird off brand ebay controllers have rumble (some even have HD rumble) why is it that the actual quality manufacturers don’t??? like I don’t care about NFC/amiibo support but rumble is a big loss on this…

He should join Congress, then doing that would be perfectly ok.

Ai art has nothing in common with nfts or crypto, seeing as it produces something instead of nothing.

Happily. Go fuck yourself.

Because it leads to price inflation.

Firstly, we’re not talking about the obscenely priced $70 games from AAA publishers—we’re talking about $20 indie games, and no one is suggesting they can “afford” to have them priced so low. Secondly, it’s scummy for all the reasons I carefully lay out in the article.

The header image is the most “the client has a few notes about the design” thing I’ve ever seen.

I dunno, I’m sitting here looking at the PS2 emulator a friend gave me, and it’s like 15 tabs of menus, settings, and check boxes and shit that I have no clue how to even run it. Why is my rom of the game running cutscenes at 2x the speed? why do my buttons not work? Why is it a tiny little window instead of filling…

I made the horrible mistake of visiting my parent’s nation of birth (Hungary) a few years ago (they moved to Canada before I was born). Visited a local pub to get a vibe of Budapest and was shortly overhearing a roarous laughter in the pub of half a dozen patrons talking about how to castrate and hang the gay and…

Can someone relatively well versed in copyright law explain what they mean by "compulsory license?"

Nah, this is WAY more interesting than a bunch of new first person pew pew games. (Though Stray looks super neat.)

This is a strange story, in that Nintendo just put claims on the videos, which does not impact the user’s account status just takes any revenue from the videos. Only strikes impact account status, not claims.. So the user took down the claimed videos because they wanted to.
