With the state of the world rn, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that was the case.

Ahh, that I’m not aware of.

Some NSFW games have been reindexed, yes however they are still going through and deciding which ones abide by their policies.
- Comment on Millions of Gen Zers are jobless—and unemployment is mainly affecting men 4 days ago:
Good? I don’t understand the defense of having more jobs for people.
Genuine question, aside from the creative ventures (which I believe generative AI should never be used for in a professional setting), what’s the value in having people work for work’s sake? Like the monotonous jobs, the jobs that don’t have any real value but still should get done.

Good. I mean, who does this? You’re selling flight tickets before the plane is even built. At least wait until the game is released to gage if players even want a DLC.
Even still, you’ve shown your hand. Now players think that you were sectioning off development of certain aspects of a game to then later sell off for extra cash instead of focusing on releasing a fully built game. Terrible mistake.

I was going to say the same thing. I noticed it with the new Busby game, I hope they find a lot of success are are able to bring that retro game design back to the forefront.

They’re doing their part to protect NSFW game creators, I think that’s a great thing.

Just spent the last 2 days 100% Sword of the Sea. I highly recommend giving the game a shot.

Fuckin guy, completed his little car collection and dipped after leaving Bungie in a worse state than it’s ever been.

Funny you mention it, I’ve always wanted to get into Ni no Kuni but just could never spare the time.
- Comment on How Zelda and Studio Ghibli inspire happiness and purpose 1 week ago:
Hahaha yeah. Man it seems like the further we walk in one direction the further we walk away from another.
I mean like, we’ve got so many fresh and new experiences to make our lives easier and happier, but every step we take it feels like we forget the old ones, and instead we learn new things to make us unhappy. Why can’t we make progress without losing it, or making it more complicated for ourselves?

People are happier in life when they play games and watch movies, who would’ve thought.

Yeah, I know I just mean to say that nowadays they’ve had all of their humanity stripped away, they look more like machines than they do people.

Wow, I’ve never seen this before. I don’t mean this in a derogatory way or anything, but they look like people.
- Comment on More action than RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 struggles to convince after a few hours' play - EuroGamer 1 week ago:
So it isn’t an immersive sim, there could still be some strong elements of role play involved in terms of dialogue decisions. I’m hoping for the best.

It was just Hardsuit and The Chinese Room, until hardsuit was eventually removed from the project. The game did however get delayed a handful of times. Let’s just hope that whatever concept they have of the game now is strong enough to ship this time.

Hoping that the pushback will crush these new regulations, this really sucks for creative freedom and consumer choice.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 ended up making me regret playing. 1 year ago:
People don’t typically do dragons well in general tbh. Even when dragons are secondary to the plot, opting for wyverns the no-armed beasts and calling them dragons. It sort of hurts me inside.
But I agree I want more genuine dragons in my media.
(Side note, I haven’t read the OP as to not spoil myself so for all I know OP could be arguing the same thing so sorry for the redundant point if that’s the case.)

They’ve resumed development on this? Huh, that’s interesting. At this point this game has gone through dev hell so I hope it turns out alright.

Glad I’m not the only one. Do the images show up for you’re while editing them?
- Comment on Saints Row developer Volition permanently shuts down 1 year ago:
The issue with SR Reboot is that they did try to modernize the humor, they went and dove head first to new style of humor and it clearly didn’t work for them.
- Comment on Can’t make a photo post 1 year ago:
Does this affect existing image posts? A few of my posts are acting weird, when I edit them I can see that the image is there but when I just view the post normally it’s like it doesn’t exist.

You pay for a drip feed of exclusive content fueled by fomo. It’s the same concept the fact it’s got a different name doesn’t change that. I’ve heard all I need to.
