  Surviving Stellaris soon? 🤔

  Looks interesting. I didn’t see ball drop having to be considered but one of the features does mention realistic ballistics

  If it contains an option to disable “god view” of guards you are not seeing, it will land in my to buy list

  Do you wish that you could recycle games?

  No. The system is flawed, of course, but in the end game sells -> publishers see the genre/idea sells -> they are going to fund creating another one like that -> creators with ideas earn money
  How strong we feel that publishers leech off creators is a valid point. But in the end that’s how it works right now

  Maybe, if publishers and creators were getting some petty tax from each swap, that would enable recycling without killing the positive feedback for a good game. Or open another can of worms. Think what practices would result in more gains with such system in place. I’m afraid it might be churning out low value, highly hyped, hastily created games with paid reviews
  Or maybe it’s a good business idea and it will revolutionize industry once someone puts up such a service

  But, I think, implemented by the current big ones it would end up badly. It’s a flip of the whole business plan and they would cling to old ideas

  Additionally, this idea would probably in practice look more like streaming does. A subscription to access with some “coins” for swapping. And we already see that streaming has negative effects on accessibility to older, niche movies and series

  you know you’ve wasted however much money

  I know that what I’m going to write doesn’t work for fighting games. But for the rest of them, wait until they are priced what you are comfortable spending based on howlongtobeat. Last night I binged on Citizen Sleeper that is on sale rn. 6hrs of good story for price of 1-2 beers. I usually don’t get back to games I’ve finished, so probably won’t be playing it ever again. But I still feel it was money well spent. And if it wasn’t that great, this price is not the amount I’d regret spending on a meh game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A minority Ubisoft investor (…) noting that Ubisoft’s share price has fallen by over 40% since last year. Accordingly, Krupa wants the board to “take Ubisoft private or allow it to sell to strategic investor”

  Looks to me as if someone wanted a fast lever and with that failing now they’d like to sell ASAP

  Actually no, it isn’t personal

  It comes from the very same thing you wrote in the second part of this post. No-one on Lemmy gets paid for their work. And communities have to be easy to set up, so “the committee” does not become a burned-out, too-powerful, bottleneck
  But that means that it is also OUR (non-mod, just a lemming) responsibility to mark stuff that we feel is out of line, when we have the capacity to do so. If lemmy.world agrees this is out of line, simply blocking and muting does not help the wider community, only solves the problem for me. Anyone else coming in with fresh account will see this shit on the front, local posts page

  And yes, the ones crossing the lines can easily come back. And I probably won’t catch them next time because I’ll be busy with my RL. That’s fine
  What I do have control over is whether I cover the eyes or not. When I don’t have capacity to mark something, I cover them and move along. Other times, I flag them. In this situation I couldn’t find a report button for a whole community so created a post

  It’s the same as a pile of trash on the pavement. If it’s not a burden in their schedule, a regular member of public should call the city about it. And when they don’t have time to do that, hopefully someone else will, that were busy the other day. How many of these someone-elses there are is not something we can control. But we can control if we are the someone else ATM

  If we want to have corp-less commons, we have to be part of the team sometimes, when we have the capacity to do so
  I had for this one, and now I’m moving on with my life :) ✌

  Ok so now you’re asking to speak to the managers manger, and that’s gunna be the developers dude.

  Yeah, but maybe there is a button for that already, and I just can’t find it

  I get your sentiment bc I have to follow tos myself. But can I ask what other stuff would you put in the category of harmful? Just asking straight not yelling at you here.

  I don’t have a straight up list for that but some other examples I’d say would be:

  • how to get everything mortgaged to invest in our casino
  • how to get diazepine by cooking up cough pills (I’m inventing the names here)
  • how to spot <ethnicity>
  • maybe-snuff videos

  I find the porn shit to be in the obscene annoying category. Like I’m in a field trying to catch butterflies and all there are, are fucking mosquitos lol

  To me it’s not the porn that’s the problem, it’s the attitude in the community description
  Not so long ago there have been repeated news about mistreatment of women in India. Big part of Hindu ethnicity lives in India. IMO this kind of content normalizes aggressive objectification
  I know that porn is just a fantasy. But it seems (I won’t be spending time on searching for the papers, sorry. These are also ~last year) that for some reason this kind of fantasy does induce intimacy problems

  I know that there are many others like that and there are other areas of human life that gets skewed with content-insatiability and marketing. But if I can’t mark them all IMO doesn’t mean I shouldn’t mark the one I see

  And to freedom-fighters:
  Lemmy being a federation, if someone wants to create a server about cooking aspirin, I’m fine with that. But I chose this instance also because of what was in the rules. I felt that community was crossing the line and asked if mods feel the same

  But that’s just a block for me. Not a removal. I think harmful stuff should be removed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players still don't feel "comfortable" with game subscription services, says Ubisoft+ boss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So when they decide to save storage by stopping serving 20 years old game me and my one buddy play I have to pray it comes back one day? Fuck no. We are already loosing cinema history because of streaming.
  There are games that are supposed to be consumed like fast-food (like online shooters that depend on large number of players) but these aren’t even majority.

  I propose a deal: you serve us games via subscriptions but the moment you pull a plug on a game you are bound by law to make it available on torrents

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Invincible is now available on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This won’t be the most exhaustive rundown you could get but since the question is already 14h old, something is better than nothing.

  Yes, this is the first game of this studio (or first they came up with themselves). I think the main selling point of the game is that it’s based on a work of Stanisław Lem - writer of science fiction and essays on various subjects, including philosophy, futurology.
  I think they even have some sort of exclusivity that in the closest future only they have the rights to publish games officially tied to his works

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4k is not 2160p - heard it here first!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve found this. Personally I would not say the difference is worth having another name, maybe for the sake of differentiating between the ratios.

  But it seems that indeed 4K is not 2160p 🤷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skull and Bones - Official Closed Beta Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  people developing this game must have been put through

  I’m Out Of The Loop, could you please expand on what you refer to? You mean this?
