  the game is intentionally designed around being frustrating, due to controls, and especially since it was designed to be done in coop, as it came from a period of time like carry the glass or chained together was. It’s not like conventional hard game like thrown into elden ring with no souls experience hard, but intentionally difficult games like those in the Foddian category like baby steps, pogostuck and such. they’re intentionally hard, and theyre intentionally designed to fuck with the player, far more than a typical game would.

  while i can’t entirely assume it, you cannot assume that the people refunded are drastically better than the people who didn’t, especially when the dev puts out t he 55k refund numbers. if hes going to claim 55k refunds, he needs to show that 55k (or a majority of those) actually beat the game and refunded in under 2 hours, else hes bundling a bunch of people who simply ragequit and likely legitimately refunded the game. The debate ultimately comes up because he happen to tie the 55k number on the same post as showing the comment that someone beat the game and refunded.

  hence exageration, as the majority probably never finished, and its more scrutinized on the people who did. When you bring up the refund rate, then a specific comment doing the refund, that’s pushing a narrative to the passive reader that they are one in the same when only a fraction of said 55k actually have completed the game in under 2 hours.

  keep in mind, its partially overblown because according to the acheivements, only 7% users have actually beat the game of the people who kept it. the people who refunded shouldnt be that different than the average.

  resume reasons, especially ivy league schools. ivy schools tend to select students based on historical alumni reasons if they aren’t top cut, and people who grew up in wealth usually had better resources growing up to be smart (but it doesn’t by default mean they are smart)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suspecting AI cheating, Ivy League prof ordered an in-person final; scores fell 50%⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eighteen students suddenly dropped the course, while nine others didn’t even attend the final exam. Of those 27 students, El País noted, “22 had scored a perfect 100 in the midterm exam.”

  Among those who took the test, the average score plunged—from 96 all the way down to 48.

  Id hate to be a recruiter or interviewer for this generation of students

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  its similar in a way that you go through stages, and there are sub stages in the world that turns a brawler collectathon into a puzzle platformer game unironically. in WW, sure youre not like destroying the world like it is in Bananza, but youd notice some odd simularities at times, where Mario Oddesey is almost strictly a platformer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i recently finished it as well (like last week) game was alright. The games oddly closer to Wario World imo than it was closer to Mario Oddesey

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheese is available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  so is fresh mozzarella not cheese because it has double the moisture content than cheddar and notibly more compared to the non fresh mozzarella? same could be said with various forms of cottage cheese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheese is available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  imagine declaring something not cheese because theres an emulsifier in it.

  couldnt be someone who declares other foods an identity that has emulsifiers

  id imagine remaking something with an established story line is easier to do for an outsourced team.

  keep in mind, none of the multiplayer stuff is being remade, a multiplayer game is being made by halo studios themselves. whatever this team isnthats doing the outsourced work is solely working on modernizing the campaigns

  of the 3 tes related games released after Skyrim (TESO, Legends, Blades), theres technically a new tes game since. If you wanted to limit it to just BGS games, Blades of the 3 is a BGS game.

  theres retroreflectors on the moon that were intentionally. imstalled so that precise aiming of a laser would signify someone installed it on the moon if you saw the reflection back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  no, completely valid, but pricing is a psychological question rather than a math question for some.

  reason for example products are priced with X.99

  some people se it as cost X amount, others (like youself) see it as X+1 amount. the 0.99 is the extreme end of the psychology and choosing 8 in the case of peak increases number of people who dont see it at the higher price

  it works if your games are fundamentally different like in this case. the cons about modding is that expectations of sequels are higher than normal because youre no longer comparing the game to the previous, but to the modded version of the previous.

  for example, outside of performance reasons, City Skylines 2 had that fate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon remembers the GameCube⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  animal crossing on the gamecube had a lot of “microtransactions”. part of the functionality of the game was tied to having a gba/gamecube link cable. another part was tied to having an e-reader, along with several series of cards you had to collect in almost a “gacha” like sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why is fossil fuel still used?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  besides cars mass energy storage isnt available for all countries yet, so you need a way to balance grids. green energy resources doesnt have the ramp up required when energy usage spikes(e.g people get back from work). we dont suddenly put out more sun, make faster rivers or purposely make stronger winds for power. you balance the spike with the dirtier energy. so you often run into a situation where once green, a majority of your energy can be green, but you always have to reserve space for spike usage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t think the demand for old ram is viable)for scalpers), the number of systems that actually want it is far fewer nowadays. DDR4 pricing was more caused by production stopping on DDR4, rather than the current ram shortages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parking police⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  off the top of my head, no. but I know for the seatbelt law at least, if a car before the mandatory seatbelt law had optional seatbelts, having the seatbelt became mandatory. Cars that had no seatbelts nor had optional ones are exempt.
