- Comment on Is this month's Humble worth it if I'm not into Persona? 8 hours ago:
I dont recall the combat being too different. You basically smack things until they die.
The gameplay loop is roughly similar, if a little more fleshed out. Get quests from villagers, create workbench that create things over time. Grab resources from various sources with skills that increase gradually over time. Multiple levels of resource tools, like axes, pickaxes, swords, etc.
If youre looking for a heavy action game, it’s not a main focus. It’s definitely more on the resource gathering/crafting realm of gameplay.
Their next game might have more of an action combat focused gameplay loop, as it takes place closer to a cartoon area of the world. I dont imagine it’s going to get anywhere near the typical hack 'n slash action rpg model that’s typical these days.

I played Sandrock years after Portia, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it’s an improvement. The mechanics are roughly similar, but I feel Sandrock is a little more polished.
There is an annoying water conservation mechanic that can be a bit irritating to deal with. Everything uses water, so if you run out you basically can’t do anything, but you can buy it and make moisture collectors to make things a little easier.
- Comment on U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business 2 days ago:
Functionally, there’s no such thing. In a system that gives the most power to the company that makes the most money, that company will seek to maximize its profits. Part of maximizing profits is eliminating competition. So in a “free” market, the most successful will subvert the freedom of their competition thus eliminating the freedom in the market.
Self-correction in a market is an illusion crafted people either desperate to salvage a broken system, or those who seek to exploit them.

- Comment on Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN 5 days ago:
Optimization isn’t necessarily a global thing for software. Often you need to optimize it for different types of hardware. This is often especially necessary for consoles, as they are specific kinds of proprietary hardware that are relatively static. Optimization for the PC (or Steam Deck) is not necessarily optimization for a Switch 2, which may even require optimization between handheld and docked modes.
- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 5 days ago:
Because I am capable of critical and complex thinking. Just because something is labeled as “free” does not necessarily mean there are no costs associated with procuring or using a product. If you’re handed a proprietary piece of technology for “free”, but the only way to use it is to pay for another piece of technology or software that you have to pay for… it’s not free. It’s complementary, but it’s not free. You still need to pay some amount to use it.

As they need to be installed on Apple hardware, there’s an implicit cost associated with it.
If you want to be super pedantic for no reason, you’re correct, it is technically free.

Bruh, we entered that age like a decade ago. It’s just a lot more commonplace now.
- Comment on Superfan Ben Stiller Has A Star Trek Pitch, Says It’s Important For Franchise To Return To Big Screen 6 days ago:
If you could make a movie that stays true to the idea of Star Trek while still maintaining broad enough appeal to reach a wider audience, sure.
I believe, to this day, that still has yet to be done. Without the broad appeal it’s better to just do the show, and without the ideals of Star Trek… it’s just another generic sci-fi action movie.

So sorry, I’ve already been to that point in time, and it just happens to be a fixed event. Just can’t do it without tearing the fabric of reality, sorry 😢
- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 1 week ago:
There’s a difference between being realistic and being pessimistic. The latter expects any attempt to fail, while the former seeks an attainable path to a goal.
One can not attain that utopian vision without setting realistic goals. Setting your eyes on the end game without ever focusing on the path to get there is dooming yourself to failure.

As I understand it, those were ones that were already free (to an extent, you could still pay if you wanted to before this).
- Comment on Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand 3 weeks ago:
From an article posted yesterday
“Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so,” Valve’s statement sent over email to Kotaku reads. “Mastercard communicated with payment processors and their acquiring banks. Payment processors communicated this with Valve, and we replied by outlining Steam’s policy since 2018 of attempting to distribute games that are legal for distribution. Payment processors rejected this, and specifically cited Mastercard’s Rule 5.12.7 and risk to the Mastercard brand.”

The median is an average. There’s generally three types of average, Mean (what you’re talking about), Median (the one they’re talking about), and Mode (the one rarely talked about).

I doubt it was phonebanking that did it, that was just the ground level cover. Guarantee they made a direct financial threat against shareholders.
