  smaller studios dont have money or interest to pay game news companies to write favourable articles about them. So clearly the industry must be dead if bigger ones are going down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open World Games: yay or nay?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  if its well designed to utilize openworld concept. For example, kenshi is very well designed for openworld. Kingdomcome games are well designed for it too.

  Being lazy and not feeling like doing every single thing in openworld game is good thing because it will make replaying it sometime later nicer by leaving content untouched. But if the content is just finding one more collectible then its just awful gamedesign.

  I dont necessarily seek out openworld games, just good games that fall into the slots i like. Unfortunately things have been very barren regarding that to the point i’m starting to lose interest in games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  "Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is described as a “virtual exhibition” of the new hardware. Per Nintendo: “through tech demos, minigames and other interactions, players will get to know the new system inside and out in ways they may never have known about otherwise.”

  So its basically just something that goes on about how great and wonderful switch is? And they want you to pay for it? This is so stupid I’m not sure if its even anti consumer anymore but somehow managed to go beyond to new and exiting levels of awfulness.

  no benefit in embarrassing them. Should instead keep taking the money and use it for causes that resist them while trying to maintain secrecy so you can keep it going longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just wonder if the research into its effects is going forward as fast as it can since if there was some serious harmful effect from it it would cost a lot of money to many rich people. They would definitely want to silence anything about it as long as they can just like they did with climate change.

  i wonder if microplastic could affect this. Even if its inert it must do something if enough accumulates in the brain.

  the ones who own the social media are the source of so many problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ARK DLC Trailer Slammed For Being Made Entirely Through Gen AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  anything ai generated just feels deeply wrong if its supposed to be anything other than wanting to see how some idea might look like. I dont listen to much music so ai generated music can sound pretty good to me, but even then I still notice that there is no unifying idea in the background, just bunch of random threads that go nowhere. There is no reason for anything to be there in ai generated content because there can’t be any reason since ai can’t do anything by itself. Its so stupid they even call it ai because there is no intelligence involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Planetside 2 as it was many years ago. I’ll be forever bitter how they ruined it.

  If I look at recorded playtime then its teamfortress 2 which wins just by 0.1h over rimworld and I havent really played tf2 for over 10 years.

  I guess I know not to buy more from then in that case. I’m tired of playing same slop from different companies that dont want to try anything new. DRG is good game but it also feels like its not living up to its fullest potential, now i know why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think the US will actually log its national parks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  anyone who wants to seriously resist this should start preparing for it already or finding ways to support those who want to be more active about it if they cant afford to do anything themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is electricity not part of the classical alchemical elements? (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe fire in classical alchemy is more like energy than just fire. I wonder what other elements are if you extend that logic to them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  autocracies seem like flame. Some burn hotter and some colder but its not really sustainable because eventually they will run out of “fuel”. They also will cause harm to everyone around them if big enough and at least concern for neighbours or if they have access to things that can easily cause harm, even if they are small.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism is just exploitation of those with no capital. If we really cant have strong economy without that then might as well not have one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popular Chrome extensions hijacked by hackers in widespread cyberattack⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “and never will” this should imply something that cant be changed. Such empty words should no longer be even considered no matter who says them, unless its paired with enforceable punishment for breaking the word

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if we accept 70€ then they increase the price to 80€. when we accept that they increase it to 90€ and so on. Though i guess this becomes kind of moot point when high price on game has started to correlate with lower quality on every aspect except graphics.
