  It worked for USB C? And y’all have alternate app stores over there too. I don’t believe it’s unrealistic to guarantee that a product you sell will remain functional after support ends.

  I recently started playing Disney Speedstorm as a fun casual kart game without Nintendo.

  The gameplay is fantastic. The music bangs. The netcode is… alright. The game is fun!

  But holy crap am I glad I don’t care about cosmetics and characters. This game is printing money on the backs of parents credit cards. Assuming everything was unlockable, you’re probably looking at 4-5 figures.

  I’d gladly pay $80 for a game of this quality, but this kind of predatory nonsense should be illegal. And until it is, I can understand why companies are drawn to making games like this - it’s an unpatched infinite money glitch.

  Can’t wait to watch Sam Porter Bridges building bridges as a porter for Bridges - without controller input.

  I used to buy Levi’s, but not only have they dropped quality, they introduced some weird “in the know” naming scheme where they still make “old” Levi’s, but just charge $200 a pop for them. Now I just grab Kirkland.

  Nothing to see here, just Sony doing Sony things. Money burning a hole in your pocket? Go grab a handful of indie games.

  I think it kills game leaks before the street date. Even if the data isn’t in the carriage (which is stupid), you would still be able to sell the cartage assuming the online service is still active.

  Sucks for game preservation though. I’m personally hoping there’s some flaw in the gen 1 hardware that can be exploited for archive purchases.

  Honestly, just let the YouTube algorithm run for a few hours on a fresh account. You’ll start getting right wing and “Christian” viewpoints spoon fed to you fairly quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honest question, but on a technical level isn’t discord basically IRC with some bells, whistles, emojis, and a some WebRTC Logic wrapped in electron with a large marketing budget? Throw in some cloud storage and a CDN for images. What am I missing? I’m not saying it’s “easy”, but I’m curious what it would take to build a solid streamlined FOSS alternative built on combining existing technologies.

  Genuine question - isn’t their terms basically “if you use these third party services you’re subject to their terms, and also were going to collect some data to see if people actually use this feature or if it’s a waste of time?”
