- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 1 day ago:
and we don’t try to moderate reviews based on accuracy
Than, it’s not a review, it’s a social media feed. Calling that a review would imply that it must have passed some check. If there is none, it’s a post, on a social media. Even than they’d try to moderate that if they cared.
Removing reviews, the response claimed, could be seen as “censorship”.
Fact checkig and moderation isn’t censorship, it’s moderation.
Recourse for developers is limited. Some are looking into their own security, shoring up protections for developers on their team against being doxxed or hacked by trolls. Or, in the case of the developers of Caves of Qud, paying their own moderators to handle forums and the hate that spills out of Steam
Which is guess for small teams or single devs is less feasable the less resources they have. That is to say, you’re alone out there.

Why would you have an attachemnt to words on paper? It’s just a book. What a dumb example right there.

Not only that, many gaming memories, including console ones, and even for ancient people like me, are tied to modern online experiences. Just one example, that you all share and know and i believe this, is minecraft. But how much of that is multiplayer servers over single player worlds? Some of my finest memories are chrono trigger, popolocrois monogatari, final fantasy, earthbound. And i still like them. But playing for the fun of it, i can probably tell that some simple multiplayer is still fine. But many young (and adult) people are probably playing gacha, and these are highly manipulative games. Dopamine and serotonine driven. I find my enjoyment of a game dropping down to zero when I have a mandatory gacha system in the way.
I will probably attempt to finish earthbound, I never got past the giant animated pile of puke. Sometimes later i found out that I needed to bring some fly honey for that*, or that i need to wait three real life minutes for a waterfall to open the path.
This last example is comical in lisa: the paniful, where you are requiem to wait 30 real life minutes in a test of patience. 30. Minutes. And it’s still the most normal thing in the game.
I need to finish lisa the painful too, come to think of it.

- Comment on Anon is a redditor 2 days ago:
My own opinion of mods is that most of the times you won’t notice that, but at the same time you’re likely to notice that automated tools are effectively getekeeping the place much more than any human mod. Another issue is that obsessing over reddit or discord mods speaks volumes on one’s engagement with these social media. Like, we say that mods are ‘no lifing’ the site, but so are users who complain too much. Either way we have dozens of tools to make research or learn new things and we certainly don’t need reddit to do that.

And that’s why they keep ai free. Thedifference between losing 1 billion dollar and a billion dollar + 100 000 dollar is marginal. No to mention, they want us addicted, and ai is a perfect means to do so. At some point a virtual friend was a looser’s deal; looking at it now, there is an attempt to normalise virtual companionship. This is the last social media I have, almost all others are gone. I periodically wipe down things, too. And there is always a computer willing to ‘talk’ to me, truly a cyberpunk distopia.

My localhost website was a pong clone that I ran out of boredom. Of course, it was name index html.
- Comment on Website 5 days ago:
My direct experience is that, using chatgpt, making basic html DOM elements is simple, but coding behaviours in a reliable manner isn’t as simple. And css shouldn’t even need AI to be coded effectively. Javascript is the part where the ineffciency and the weird behaviour of a website are. I bet there are professional web design tools that use ai, but using genAI for that is…uh

- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 1 week ago:
Some of the best games i’ve ever played are in the 1-10 range. With that in mind, i do brlieve that a 60+ game would at least be über eccellent and have much to do. Which might unironically make such games bloated, if they weren’t costly that is.

The p.diddy fundue fountain scene with the devil itself is even older so i must guess that reality is South park’s game and not viceversa now.

- Comment on The best random character in terraria so far 2 weeks ago:
It’s 1.4.5 and there’s many QoL features (building platform is finally doable without cursing) and stilistic choices (all characters have cute portraits). Even the door and items handling has been improved, now selecting and closig doors is fast and easy. Beyond that there is a new npc with a dead cell collab (you’ll see it’s the room with the hanging bottles) and even a kingdom hearts one too. I still can’t tell the whole of it because there is a lot of stuff in a single update

Reminds me of go launcher ex. Used to be this funny looking launcher, yet invasive and with ads. Back then nova was the apex predator of launcher: keeping a stock android look but with advanced customsied settings.
