That sounds like nonsense. I’ll have to look it up!

Great point. I saw an interesting video recently that touched on this exact issue:

As graphics increase in quality, the desire for developers to fill spaces with clutter grows – which makes it harder to make meaningful levels with thoughtful design.
- Comment on New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters 3 weeks ago:
Irrelevant. This game is purportedly built using the original doom engine, while almost all other FPS games since Doom are designed with similar mechanics.
- Comment on Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why? 4 weeks ago:
Looks like I’m in the minority, but I subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online. My wife and I enjoy the extra Mario kart courses and I personally enjoy the N64 virtual console.
- Comment on Why People Don’t Catch The Politics In Their Favorite Games 4 weeks ago:
Don’t get me wrong, the only Libertarianism I’ve ever known is intertwined with Capitalism. But they aren’t the same thing, and I always read BioShock as being a take on Libertarianism specifically.
- Comment on Why People Don’t Catch The Politics In Their Favorite Games 4 weeks ago:
Capitalist utopia? Isn’t the whole point that it’s a Libertarian utopia?

Thank you, I really appreciate that!
- Comment on Where can I find the rules for Lemmy.world? 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for your input. I received the message that my comment was removed from “automod@lemmy.world”, so that combined with the fact the community’s rule 2 was “no tiktok posts” led me to believe it was a .world action. Your take makes more sense.

Happy I could help, sorry to hear bad news.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account 1 month ago:
The ‘official’ reason, as I recall reading it, is increasing security for players. Link to the announcement.
Personally I think that’s a load of hooey.
FWIW this won’t involve a new launcher, to my knowledge.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 1 month ago:
You already need a PSN account for cross play
Factually incorrect. I never linked up and have played with at least one person I knew was on PlayStation.

Thanks for sharing the source! I had a feeling it was The Reductress, I love their stuff.

- Comment on I hate being 10. I wish I was 7 again 2 months ago:
I mean realistically, the people who enjoyed it back in the day have outgrown it. So “new” content like this skibidi business, which is the same kind of humor as they used to enjoy 10+ years ago, is deeply unappealing.

I can’t fathom how you’d find that funny.

Probably so they can re-check you in the future when you inevitably renew your contract.
Not that I agree with that. It should only be stored as long as it takes to run the check.

Real answer: when people finance their phones, the provider needs to check their credit to confirm if they’re actually eligible.

Give the relative your email address instead of the account. You’ll still get the game that way
- Comment on How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia. 2 months ago:
I think I understand it. It makes sense if his goals were to 1) release this information and 2) survive afterwards. Doing #1 was relatively easy, as he had the access to accomplish it.
But to then stay alive and (relatively) free required being beyond the reach of the US government. Being in the States is out of the question, and by extension so is being in any country with an extradition treaty with the US. I don’t know what all the options were, but ultimately he chose Russia as the place he would live.
If you assume his goal is freedom for mankind in general, it does seem hypocritical to go running to an authoritarian country for safety. But it seems pretty clear he wasn’t motivated by a vague principle, but rather wanting to blow the whistle on a specific injustice he saw.
- Comment on Jump Ship Plays Like a Mix of Sea of Thieves, Left 4 Dead, and FTL 2 months ago:
It’s unfortunately classic Lemmy. Every post has at least one person commenting something along the lines of “Why would anyone like this?” as opposed to, y’know, actually engaging with the content.

- Comment on AAAA!!!!!!!! 3 months ago:
It’s a joke about how the head of Ubisoft referred to the game Skull And Bones as a “quadruple-A” game. The highest-budget games are often classified as “triple-A”, though people also tend to use the term as a way to indicate size or quality. By calling S&B an AAAA game he was signaling that it would be in a class of its own in terms of quality, most likely.
The game itself has been pretty universally considered “meh” at best, so this meme is making fun of the original claim.
I hope this explanation helps!

Awesome writeup. I had heard that some very special individuals were trying to paint this company as “pro-woke”, and therefore any game they touched should be avoided – and that’s obviously going to be nonsense, but it’s good to see the full story.

If it’s anything like the Marshmallow “concert”, no. It’s pre-recorded.
