Except it doesn’t work that way. It’s not about wordplay, but the esoteric power of being explicitly invited.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 1 week ago:
I’m OK with not being a “real fan”.
- Comment on Calling on lemmy.world to defederate with feddit.de 1 week ago:
I’m not so sure. I’ve spoken with a lot of Arabs and Palestinians here in Copenhagen (talking g to people has become part of my job, more or less), and the general idea seems to be that “from the river to the sea” means “the settlers (here meaning Israeli people) have to leave”.
- Comment on Visual effects professionals behind Marvel, Disney and Avatar have ratified their first union contracts. The agreements include minimum hours guarantee, overtime pay, rest periods and a pension plan 1 week ago:
This is great news! VFX artists have been under appreciated, or outright shafted (especially by Disney) for far too long!
- Comment on Sony blocks Stellar Blade on more than 100 countries 1 week ago:
I intend to.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 week ago:
Don’t forget about that one time Epic gave away an indie game for free… On the week it launched… Without consulting the devs.
- Comment on Star Citizen’s new cash shop offerings provoked fresh pay-to-win and predatory monetization accusations | Massively Overpowered 1 week ago:
Weird huh? Before this article I really couldn’t tell. But I think they might be on to something…
- Comment on Star Citizen’s new cash shop offerings provoked fresh pay-to-win and predatory monetization accusations | Massively Overpowered 1 week ago:
And there isn’t even a game yet.
X4 is more game than Star Citizen. Elite Dangerous is more game than Star Citizen. Both these games are still getting updates that expand and build upon their mechanics. But the time Star Citizen becomes 1.0, these other games will have already surpassed it.
Hell, graphically Star Citizen used to be cutting edge… Like nearly 10 years ago. Now it just looks kinda “normal”.
- Comment on Calling on lemmy.world to defederate with feddit.de 1 week ago:
Displacement =/= murder. It’s accuracy I want, not hyperbole. And not wanting to resort to hyperbolic language doesn’t indicate an agreement with a given ideology. However it is necessary to be factual and accurate in order to have any grounds for an argument to begin with.
Something you’re clearly not interested in.
- Comment on Calling on lemmy.world to defederate with feddit.de 1 week ago:
Pretty sure it’s calling for the displacement of all the Israeli people there. But either way, being against Israel is being against the genocide they’re committing, and one does not have to subscribe to every aspect of Palestinian vengeance in order to agree with what Israel is doing is wrong.
- Comment on Calling on lemmy.world to defederate with feddit.de 1 week ago:
Right so… Being against the actions of Israel and their government is… Being a nazi?
Because…?
- Comment on Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets 1 week ago:
The best thing about Marathon is the shortfilm. Watch that. Then ignore the game.
- Comment on Anon describes past 1 week ago:
Back in my day I had to walk to school five times per day on my bare feet over gravel in knee high snow under a blistering hot sun with no water visible for 100 km!
It gave me the character to become a landlord and earn my pay from everyone else!
- Comment on Helldivers 2 - Galactic Emergency Trailer 2 weeks ago:
It absolutely works on Linux.
- Comment on WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere 2 weeks ago:
Sure but… I’m subscribed to Humble Monthly. So instead of getting a CD with a magazine containing a bunch of demos, I get a bunch of keys for full games. A lot of them pretty neat indies.
For gaming news… Well, on Lemmy there’s this guy.
- Comment on Anon gets a call from his past 2 weeks ago:
This. This fucks over statistics so much.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 2 weeks ago:
You, the problem might not be reviewing bombing, but rather lack of advertising.
Until now I’ve honestly never heard of No Rest for the Wicked. I didn’t even know Moon Studios was busy on anything after Ori 2.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 2 weeks ago:
I second No Man’s Sky.
But if you want something a lot more serious, a proper simulator, but also requires time to learn (for when you get bored of the simplicity of No Man’s Sky), maybe give X4 a shot.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but that shouldn’t be the norm, or an expectation, of the developer. “Oh, we don’t need to worry about the game, the fans will just mod it and it’ll bring us lots of money!”
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like an endorsement for custom firmwares.

That’s not the only issue it has. They could’ve made procedural generation work, with having a combination of hand crafted and procedural environments. But it doesn’t seem like they have the skill to pull it off.
Issues this game has, and probably one of the major reasons why it’s so dead feeling, is how the world doesn’t react to you.
Tell me, what happens in Skyrim or Oblivion if you walk around town with your sword drawn?
What happens if you start randomly casting spells where the guards can see you?
What if you managed to get a certain artefact, wear a certain kind of armour, or work on upgrading a certain skill tree?
See what I mean? See what’s missing?
The dead, empty, open world tiles only compounds this. And how everything feels even more limiting because of how the game is strictly chopped up with loading screens.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sure that’s illegal in most parts of Europe. Checking the article it says that the policy has only been updated in the UK and the US.
Sucks to be a country without adequate consumer protection, I guess.

- Comment on Thats fair 2 weeks ago:
Having a bigger dick is overrated. Great for fantasy, but very impractical.
I’d upgrade my lungs to be better filters and oxygenate my blood. My immune system to fight diseases my efficiently (turn it into a scalpel rather than a cluster-nuke). My brain to retain it’s learning capabilities well I to my later years. Completely overhaul my metabolism so that I won’t have to do heavy exercise to get good muscles (really, all that exercise just exists to make one chemical reaction happen).
After that, then, only then, might I consider doing something with my dick. Though perhaps more with my balls, so I can just switch off the reproductive capabilities to ensure safe sex.
- Comment on Pope Joan 2 weeks ago:
Yeah… Like there’d be a bit more credence if the guy was going after the pelvis but… You’d have to either xray or extract the pelvis for that.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
I’m still using the latest version of Yuzu (the version shortly before the takedown). How does Torzu compare to that? And is it possible to add Torzu to Emudeck?
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
You really are that stupid, huh?
OK, let’s do a little exercise; how many of their creature designs have been changed since launch?
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
The courts ruled it isn’t plagerism. So… You’re looking pretty stupid here.
The patents in question have nothing to do with creature designs. And neither would patent law be covering the design of creatures. That would be copyright law.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
The last Nintendo console I bought was the Nintendo DS lite. The last Nintendo product I bought was Age of Empires DS The Age of Kings.
As you can probably tell, that was a rather long time ago. Since getting my first TTDS flash card I’ve more or less exclusively pirated Nintendo things. I’ll just continue doing that.
News like this isn’t giving me any remorse.
