Oh is it world war 3 again? Crumbs it’s come around fast this time hasn’t it. Are we up to them securing the oil fields yet, or are they still talking about WMDs?

- Comment on Studio Camelia shuts down a year after raising €300,000 on Kickstarter to fund JRPG (Alzara Radiant Echoes) 6 days ago:
The point of that is to allow risky projects the opportunity to succeed in comfortable financial circumstances.
Cases like this abuse the system to scam people while using the ToS to skirt legal implications. So it is fraud, just dressed up as a gambling.
That said, the outcome is the same: don’t waste your money on Kickstarter unless you’d be willing to use the same money at a blackjack table

- Comment on Press F to pay respects 1 week ago:
Absolutely, but these problems are common to all the instances. Maybe I interpreted it wrong, it sounded like they were directly engaging the bad actors over management of the platform, and doing that rather than just quietly banning them and moving on.
And to be clear I’m all for open collaboration and taking feedback, but I’ve seen this occur for Lemmy apps where loud and overbearing voices try and dominate the conversation to the benefit of noone, until Devs either stop responding or shut things down.
Regardless, it’s sad to lose an instance and I hope the admins find something rewarding to invest in without having to deal with the internet’s worst members.

Or has it gone not too far enough!?
- Comment on Press F to pay respects 1 week ago:
there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll.
While I respect their decision I feel like these people will just move on to other instances to do the same thing.
I don’t know all the details but it smells a bit “tolerant of the intolerant” and that these people should have been shown the door before it got to the point of shutting down (other reasons aside - they’re all valid)

Describing design problems and attributing them to “bad code” is part of the problem tbh. The issue in your example started long before any code was written.

- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 1 month ago:
As a long time Bethesda game fan I agree with you on almost everything you’ve said about Bethesda… But the remaster is a terrible example of your points.
The remaster does exactly what it says on the tin and they’ve been very upfront about how it was made and why it was made in the launch video.
It’s hard to criticise them for cashing in on nostalgia when they’ve shown time and time again with Skyrim re-releases that do a fraction of what the Oblivion remaster does still selling like hot cakes.
Nostalgia is at the core of their business model. That’s why they march Skyrim’s corpse out every two years like clockwork; that’s why they picked Fallout for a new franchise after ES; that’s, frankly, likely why Starfield sucks so much.

I mean, it was DOA so I guess my question is more: is this Zuckerberg acknowledging that the metaverse is dead, finally?

There’s a reveal trailer and a launch trailer for Clair Obscura that give very different perspectives on the plot, well worth watching both.
Obligatory: thanks for all the daily posts!
