- Comment on Ubisoft sued for shutting down The Crew 1 week ago:
I’ve never played The Crew nor The Crew 2, but I hate this guilt-by-association type of argument with every fiber of my heart.
Not because it defends Ubisoft (in this case), but because it completely accepts the asshole’s premise that the successor of a product is necessarily a valid substitute for the product itself, and the latter is not worth keeping around - it’s like eating an apple that has been cooked in an oven at 300°C for 5 hours, then arguing that apples are bad for your health.
See:
- Overwatch vs Overwatch 2
- Halo CE/2/3/W/ODST/R vs Halo 4/5/I (idk about H:W2)
- Halo: CE vs Halo: CEA (yes I’m listing Halo twice, sue me)
- Risk Of Rain vs Risk Of Rain 2 (both are very good games, but they are completely different from each other)
- Helldivers vs Helldivers 2 (same as above)

That’s a trick question. Feathers have lower density than bowling balls; a ton of feathers would have a larger volume compared to the same mass in bowling ball, thus they’re heavier

No, the shoot hole is the face of the cylinder while the barrel is where they’re hiding the gun
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 3 weeks ago:
When I first played FL I thought it came out with all the others *^*
I don’t outright dislike X4, but IMO it feels too… streamlined, in a way. You’ve got less wares, less ships, less sectors, no jumpdrive (yes I see the reasoning, no I still want the jumpdrive), the Xenon lost their aesthetic just to look like Mass Effect reapers, and fuckers stole my magnificently redundant ship classes. Can’t have ship in Detroit.

X3: Terran Conflict.
Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).
It’s a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day – as “enjoyable” as it can be, that janky piece o’ junk – but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today.
(if you say “X4” I’m going to fucking flip) - Comment on Racism 3 weeks ago:
Hey now, they did tone down the Batarian racism after Mass Effect 2.
… mostly.

I haven’t played E:D so I can’t really make comparisons, but maybe X3/X4 can pique your interest?
I don’t think they can justify a home cockpit setup, they’re also kinda hard to get into (especially X3, you can’t get far without a guide), but hey, there’s a combined 1.5% chance that you haven’t heard of them and that you’ll enjoy at least one of them if you don’t care much about graphics. Or voice acting. Or UI/UX. - Comment on This made me so angry, enjoy! 1 month ago:

It’s one of the “I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further” license changes that are popping up as of late.
Though, that topic is way more whan “mildly” infuriating. - Comment on The HELLDIVERS™^©®^³ 2 EULA is a URL 1 month ago:
I’d say it’s 95% on the publisher, with a large error margin on how shady the intentions of the actual developers are - HD2 is unlikely to be one of those cases.

I thought so too at first, but my version seems to be made for multiple countries (even if it’s not equally binding), so I assume the same is true for East-European countries;
then again, Snoy is notoriously stingy with countries allowed to have PSN accounts, maybe they do have country-tailored licenses, and use vague language such as “accoring to local applicable laws” only to muddy the waters in case they do get in trouble.
Or maybe their web devs just underpaid | micromanaged | burned out | lazy. - Comment on The HELLDIVERS™^©®^³ 2 EULA is a URL 1 month ago:
Yeah, I don’t blame Steam, I don’t expect them to foresee publishers specifying EULAs as “idk google it m8”.
… actually, no, I do blame Steam, what reason is there to prevent copying EULAs? Are they protected by copyright too now?

You can not, in fact, copy that link - I had to type it manually. It’s relatively short and human-readable, but still…
Devil’s advocate: I wouldn’t accuse Sony (or friends) of intentionally making the text unselectable, that’s on the Steam client.

Unfortunately I’ve played for 325.4 hours more than that, so I doubt they would refund the game even with questions asked.
As far as my non-lawyerly eyes could scan the EULA itself it’s not egregious, which is why I find this mildly infuriating. - Comment on The HELLDIVERS™^©®^³ 2 EULA is a URL 1 month ago:
As far as the content of the EULA, sure, use the laws of the request’s IP address; the rest of the website, however, does not allow you to select a different localization, only the place of origin.
Furthermore, rarely do I see EULAs that aren’t written in English, and it’s not like the EULA in question is not a generic one translated for my country:
[…] [non] influiscono su eventuali garanzie o garanzie legali dell’utente in qualità di consumatore ai sensi delle leggi locali applicabili (ad esempio, diritti dell’utente in caso di malfunzionamento del Software)
Non-lawyerly translation:
[…] [do not] affect the legal rights of the user as a consumer accoring to local applicable laws (for example, the rights of the user in case of Software malfunction)… which means either someone bothered localizing a generic EULA, or that excerpt is the legal version of “unless it’s illegal idk im not a lawyer”.
- Comment on The HELLDIVERS™^©®^³ 2 EULA is a URL 1 month ago:
Bonus rant: the webpage is one of those death row worthy websites that forces you into the localization it determines based on your IP address, rather than using the HTTP header that has been specifically defined for that purpose.
