  It was mostly for the joke, as the scientific calculator answer is just the equation written with different notation.

  Let me guess, they’re introducing base-building and crafting elements that they somehow patented ten years ago.

  Is he turning people into pterodactyls? Just because he is, possibly because of his own machinations, doesn’t mean he’s turning others into pterodactyls.

  You’re trying to excuse apologist language. Telling me to define the world by their terms, not how the world is. If you want to accept that their way is the right way, that’s on you. But when you tell others, that’s just spreading their propaganda.

  They may have a specific corpo-speak word for it that they have codified into law with liberal applications of money… but in effect it is still advertising.

  Arguing the etymology is like a child abuser arguing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia. At the end of the day, they’re still a child abuser, no matter how they define it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop-up Amazon TV ads despite charging people monthly fees for their ad-free plan.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Promotions are a form of advertising. Just because they have the excuse that it’s advertising on their own service doesn’t make it not advertising.

  If it’s anything like the game Immortality, there’s an underlying story you can figure out. The gameplay in Immortality involves clicking elements in the video to link to elements from videos from other times and in-universe media. You can fast-forward and reverse, and there’s a hidden element you can discover.

  Lots of nudity and a fair amount of blood, though.

  But… a video isnt real life. It’d be more like “I dont need a nature documentary because I have a book on nature”.

  Is the little descriptive icon there the whole time? Is it there only when you try to use the gesture? It might be malicious if there was no warning at all and it just does it… but to me it seems like they’re just trying to apply intuitive design practices in their mobile site design.

  Not everything is an attack, even if one feels attacked.

  At least for video streaming services, they care more about new subscribers than retaining subscribers. That State of Decay may be a retention game, but the indie darling was the first thing they played upon subscribing. That’s likely going to hold more weight.

  Is this your first time on an internet forum? Or the internet in general? Topics often drift. Just because the post is about something doesn’t mean every single thing in the comments is going to be explicitly about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont understand what you’re trying to argue. The person you responded to made a point about Major studios trying to make a hit… but focusing on business principles over actual game production.

  You responded by boiling it down to “Devs should make better games” which wasn’t close to approaching the point they were making.

  My point was that devs are not always the ones in control, and trying to simplify a point about business majors running studios into the ground is somehow about the development team being bad is missing the point by a parser.

  No one said Team Cherry was a AAA studio. At this point of the comment chain, no one had said anything about them at all until you brought it up. No one is trying to disparage your fanboyism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference is that devs arent the ones in control in most AAA studios.

  The hype for silken has been going so long that it’s become a meme🤡. Just because it’s not as obvious anymore doesn’t mean it no longer exists.

  He’s a symptom more than a cause. This isn’t a recent development, just a recent escalation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this month's Humble worth it if I'm not into Persona?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont recall the combat being too different. You basically smack things until they die.

  The gameplay loop is roughly similar, if a little more fleshed out. Get quests from villagers, create workbench that create things over time. Grab resources from various sources with skills that increase gradually over time. Multiple levels of resource tools, like axes, pickaxes, swords, etc.

  If youre looking for a heavy action game, it’s not a main focus. It’s definitely more on the resource gathering/crafting realm of gameplay.

  Their next game might have more of an action combat focused gameplay loop, as it takes place closer to a cartoon area of the world. I dont imagine it’s going to get anywhere near the typical hack 'n slash action rpg model that’s typical these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this month's Humble worth it if I'm not into Persona?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I played Sandrock years after Portia, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it’s an improvement. The mechanics are roughly similar, but I feel Sandrock is a little more polished.

  There is an annoying water conservation mechanic that can be a bit irritating to deal with. Everything uses water, so if you run out you basically can’t do anything, but you can buy it and make moisture collectors to make things a little easier.
