  Until Google realizes normal.people would rather use this than take part in their AI search, and block usage of it outside of businesses.

  Bought it on sale earlier this year alongside Palworld and Helldivers 2. You might notice why I still haven’t started it.

  I had a sudden urge to look into TERA Online private servers, downloaded 100GB of custom game clients… And that somehow resulted in me getting back into playing Grim Dawn. This time I want to play it enough to really learn it and actually finish the game.

  No no no no stop talking about it, quick before the Nintendo lawyers show up!!

  Knowing what they did to the old devs when they took over, this is not even surprising anymore.

  The worst part is that it were copyright trolls, but also that Nintendo are such assholes that it was a credible threat.

  Can we go back to when every technology was just weaponized instead? No? This is somehow worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon's Dogma 2 MTX⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, all of their games in the past few years or so have DLCs like that. What I’m actually worried about is some of their games the MTX aren’t irrelevant like these. Monster Hunter has been getting more and more of these with each new release since World and I’m scared of what they’ll do with Wilds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good PSP games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Armored Core Portable games are really good, if you can live with thr wonky controls. There’s Tekken 5 Dark Ressurrection, great port of the same.fighting game of the PS3. Gran Tourismo Portable is nice, alongside Wipeout Pure and Pulse, and Ridge Racer are all nice racing game options. And I cannot go without mentioning Monster Hunter Portable 3rd! One of the best in the series, easy to get into and has a fan translation available.

  Gaben isn’t going to last forever. But honestly the only other good games storefront is GoG. I’ll continue using Steam for as long as it’s still good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like almost everything on this plan, except for the last 2 items. The account requirements for “extra activities” best be chosen carefully as to not encourage the good old “karma farming” that we got away from in leaving Reddit.
  And the ML thing for recognizing NSFW is also something to be carefully considered. Too strict and it gets annoying with false positives, it can restrict posting actual content, and too lax won’t make a difference for the people actually looking to circumvent it. I think a “vetting” system like the previous item could be better in the long run, in only letting “trusted” people upload content.
