Rule people
  • due to the way causality works it would be pretty difficult to tell a story in any genre where someone's opportunities in life are not strongly correlated to circumstances from their past that are outside of their control (like their birth)

  • Nintendo president: “Game development will become even longer, more complex, and more sophisticated”
  • "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding 😎"

    Indie games are kind of this, but it's hard to make the "paid more" work consistently at scale. Largely because there's a shitload of people making really good indie games and I can only play so many of them.

  • 'Marketing's dead, and I can back this s**t up': Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says players 'just want to be spoken to, and they don't want to be bamboozled'
  • and the funny thing is that these games launch in such a bad state because the publisher paid for the marketing push to happen on a specific date, so come hell or high water, the game is gonna ship by that date

    don't get me wrong, deadlines are extemely important or your project will just end up with infinite scope creep, but games are a massive artistic and technical endeavour, which are two things that can be extremely difficult to estimate

    there's gotta be a better way

  • Bypass Paywalls Clean is back online
  • These extensions work first by looking at the contents of the page you're on to detect a paywall, and then make modifications to the page that remove the paywall. There's no way for the browser-creators to guarantee that the extension isn't also silently adding a hidden element that captures everything that you type into that website, in addition to the paywal removal, so they're basically trying to warn you such a thing could happen.

    And that is a genuine risk from every extension in the addons store, but I would say that risk is potentially even higher with a piracy extension installed from a github relese. (Not this one in particular per se, which I have no opinion about, just in general.) If it makes you uncomfortable, a reasonable compromise could be to create a new browser profile for use only with this extension, or maybe even use a different browser entirely than your daily driver.

  • For some, Helldivers 2’s anti-cheat software limits the ability to play at all
  • The game has a ton of subtle mechanics that it doesn't really go out of its way to tell you about. So there's a degree of mastery and cross-polination of strategy and builds that take advantage of those mechanics between groups, which adds a lot of fun for me. I respect how that's not for everyone though.

  • No games rule
  • I bought a PS5 so I could play PS4 games without having a jet engine in my living room and it's absolutely fantastic for that. Also Demon's Souls was very pretty and faithful to the original, very fun to get the platinum. Returnal was ok too.

  • Why are they like this
  • This isn't that complicated. Imagine what would have happened in Iraq or Afghanistan if the president was an intelligence asset they had cultivated for decades. Not to mention tons of senators, represntatives, and influential NGOs like the NRA. Also all those social media psyops that are disappointingly effective at sowing division in the US.

    Russia has an incredible amount of influence in the US and is still getting wolloped, although not nearly as much or as quickly as they should/could be.
