I’m sure when they were a hanafuda maker they were a little less litigious…
- Comment on Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70 4 days ago:
Some publishers call it a “battle pass” or “seasons” instead.
- Comment on Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec 6 days ago:
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.

“Please drink verification can”?
- Comment on Americans have the gun industry so far up their ass that they don't even notice their asshole is gaping. There is no other country where uneducated morons are allowed access to guns easily. 1 week ago:
Yeah, but then they’re so fractured that the right takes back power within a generation.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
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 week 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.

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.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
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? 3 weeks 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.

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.

Ah, so you see a mirror and you don’t like it.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 3 weeks ago:
I never said it didn’t happen, I said you had to take steps to make it not happen.
Why are you like this? With the incessant need to be right and everyone else wrong?
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 3 weeks ago:
Ah, so not even speaking from experience, then.
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t happen to me, but I took a proactive approach to prevent it from happening. I don’t remember what that action was, since I did it years and years ago… but I know it’s possible. You just have to literally more than nothing to prevent these things.
Or you could switch to linux… but that takes an even more proactive approach.
- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 3 weeks ago:
Optimization isn’t necessarily a global thing for software. Often you need to optimize it for different types of hardware. This is often especially necessary for consoles, as they are specific kinds of proprietary hardware that are relatively static. Optimization for the PC (or Steam Deck) is not necessarily optimization for a Switch 2, which may even require optimization between handheld and docked modes.

Painting with such a broad brush is how these people got to where they are now, don’t make the same mistakes they did.
- Comment on Superfan Ben Stiller Has A Star Trek Pitch, Says It’s Important For Franchise To Return To Big Screen 3 weeks ago:
If you could make a movie that stays true to the idea of Star Trek while still maintaining broad enough appeal to reach a wider audience, sure.
I believe, to this day, that still has yet to be done. Without the broad appeal it’s better to just do the show, and without the ideals of Star Trek… it’s just another generic sci-fi action movie.

So sorry, I’ve already been to that point in time, and it just happens to be a fixed event. Just can’t do it without tearing the fabric of reality, sorry 😢

- Comment on JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip 5 weeks ago:
All that disenfranchisement and it only dropped 6%?
Active disenfranchisement is definitely a factor, and something that needs to be addressed… but it’s hardly the biggest factor in why people aren’t voting.
- Comment on JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip 5 weeks ago:
The majority of Americans who bothered to show up want this. A plurality decided they didn’t care either way and decided they’d rather just stay home.
