Yeah, there needs to be another arrow that says “Can you do this with a simple, secure SQL database?” -> no -> “Yes you can.”

Well, it depends. There is a way to buy art such that you get the copyright — companies do it all the time. But I agree that box is always a bit confusing.

The rest is on point, though.

While I’m not saying reviewers need to take this into account, this game is a *joy* to play with kids in co-op mode. Kirby is easy to control, getting a new power every few minutes keeps things simple but engaging, and his partner is OP as hell so easy enough for me to help move things along if needed.

The fortress is definitely FF2's Castle Palamecia. The last boss is a direct reference to an FF2 enemy.

It isn’t. Crypto people like to pretend that fancy hardware makes their monopoly money more secure.

Maybe, but he has the advantage that he’s actually correct.

It’s funny, because normally they ru midnight but it’s like 11:00... it’s like 11:15.

Unlimited SaGa is such a cool idea that just didn’t quite work. Hard for me to imagine they would revisit it, but I’d love to see it.

It’s fun and silly like all video games should be.

lol NFTs will be dead in 5 years. Cryptocurrency will shamble on like an empty husk for another decade or so after the bubble pops. Neither will be the backbone of anything remotely interesting.

Are we still doing this thing where we pretend that Pokemon games were challenging and that our 8-year-old selves were master tacticians?

“Currently, these games feel floppy and rough in a way that the old games didn’t”

The fundamental problem is that AAA studios just can’t make interesting games. 90%+ of AAA output is soulless drek, and all of Blizzard’s golden age hits were made removed from this environment. Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 were decent, but hardly earthshattering/genre&generation-defining the way previous installments…

Fingers crossed this shitty studio goes up in flames along with Raccoon Logic’s. As someone who works in software, you have to go out of your way not to hire women, meaning they’re purposely hiring *less talented* people to keep women out.

Yeah, my first reaction was “haha, nice.” My second reaction was “wait, jesus christ, does Twitch just have attackers actively playing around inside it right now?”

Anyone know how gated this game is behind community/guild stuff? I play SWGOH and though this game seems interesting, I have hesitated because I don’t really have time to do raids and large-scale pvp events and stuff in another game.

This is unfortunately true of every boycott, every bad review, every purchasing decision. The rank-and-file workers will always feel more of the sting of a boycott than the Bobby Koticks of the world, but that’s the nature of capitalism. I think you can point at the actual workers as a reason not to create a mass,…

Yeah, these articles are always wild to me. It’s hard enough finding a group willing to get together for DnD, which is the most popular TTRPG by a factor of a million.

Trying to get people together to play some new, unknown game is basically impossible. If you have a static gaming group totally willing to try lots of…

Who is “we?” The article and the subjects interviewed go out of their way multiple times to differentiate between properly using assets and maliciously flipping premade templates for a quick profit. Literally nobody here is calling for asset stores to disappear, or for indie games to stop using premade assets.

Really,…

“The policy, which lets any Steam user get a full refund on a game if they’ve played it for less than two hours, means well! And if you were only 90 minutes into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Crusader Kings III, it would be a perfectly fair and practical way of handling the matter.”

It doesn’t mean well, and it wouldn’t…
