Monster Hunter World. Spectacular game and seems to be having a second wind right now is player base.

Hunting that missing semicolon in 500 lines of code qq

I’m back on the Grimdawn life. This game is like crack.

Used to use liftoff, but since it doesn’t appear to be maintained rn I’m on boost. Really liking it so far!

Brothers: A tale of two sons is pretty spectacular and can be finished within a few hours.

My problem is traditional consumer friendly sales model for digital games are already on the back foot. This ruling only works to dissuade any new or existing Devs from persuing that model over one with microtransaction.

If anything I want this method of purchasing digital content to be pushed further into any game with purchasable in game items to even the playing field.

I see a massive downside to this ruling as a gamer. This is talking about resale of a digital game. In reality what would happen is someone would download a game, copy the file to a harddrive, sell the “digital license” or whatever it’s called for a lesser amount and still own a copy of the game. It’s basically simplifying piracy.

This might actually necessitate game companies to have a hardline DRM approach to their games. Ironically the only games that are protected from this kind of resale are the those that heavily dipped in microtransactions since you can’t resell those and would push the market more in that direction.

IMHO this ruling is shortsighted and pushes for a future with increased monitisation that isn’t in the box value of the game and targets to hurt the Devs that make consumer friendly games while giving games with loot boxes and microtransactions an advantage in the market when talking in terms of overall sales for the devs.

Edit: My mind has changed from the piracy perspective. Still don’t like how this feels from the overall market perspective.

Some games I’ve enjoyed in no particular order:

• Witcher 3
• Dragon Age: Inquisition
• Horizon Zero Dawn (Sci-Fi, but robot dinosaurs), also waiting for sequel to come out in PC probs next year
• Final Fantasy 7 Remake
• Nier: Automata
• Dragon’s Dogma sequel out Q1 next year
• Kingdoms of Amalur

Just learned there was a new Grim Dawn expansion announced so replaying that again.

I’m not saying you’re wrong (frankly, I’m on your side), but the majority of the general population, i.e. windows users, would take it as such. This is more to do with the failure of the various education systems more so than anything else.

That River thing is just peak social commentary

It used to be an old CCG called Alteil, probably have 1k+ hours on that. After playing bg3 this week, defs bg3, but I do have a habit of wafting around a bunch of crpgs.

From Wikipedia:

Cantor’s original budget was $12,000 (equivalent to $14,834 in 2022), provided by Maker Studios. When the production team continued “having more good ideas that we wanted to bring to fruition” like the aerialists and LaBeouf himself, Cantor provided the remaining $8,000 (equivalent to $9,889 in 2022).

The budget for this was 20k.

I 100% agree. Other countries need to look at loot boxes, gacha systems, randomised loot tables impacted by IRL currencies (including premium currency), etc as gambling and enforce it as such. So many people have lost so much because of the lack of regulation on this.

My understanding is yes, but only if the instances have federated with each other.

I haven’t seen a single NSFW post since I’ve toggled it off. I have had to block a couple bot accounts that have been posting porn in comments, but that is a mod issue, not a Lemmy one.

There’s literally a toggle in the account settings that toggles whether you see nsfw posts lol

Nah, that’s the hole in the ozone layer giving everyone skin cancer

Here in Australia you get money for feeding energy back into the grid.
