I’m sure when they were a hanafuda maker they were a little less litigious…
- Comment on Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70 3 days ago:
Some publishers call it a “battle pass” or “seasons” instead.

He spent five years with the droid between New Hope and Empire Strike’s Back.
Clearly it was the Force.

Like rain on your wedding day.
- Comment on Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec 5 days ago:
At least for video streaming services, they care more about new subscribers than retaining subscribers. That State of Decay may be a retention game, but the indie darling was the first thing they played upon subscribing. That’s likely going to hold more weight.

- Comment on Google should have called it JIF, not WebP 1 week ago:
That would just mean you couldn’t use the graphic format for pictures of peanut butter. It should be fine for everything else.

… did he just say making fuck?
- Comment on Cyclops would be a very different character if his eyelids weren't laserproof 1 week ago:
He’s an omega level mutant (basically so powerful they defy classification). He literally manipulates things at the atomic level, the ice thing is just how he best comprehends his own powers.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
Is this your first time on an internet forum? Or the internet in general? Topics often drift. Just because the post is about something doesn’t mean every single thing in the comments is going to be explicitly about that.

I dont understand what you’re trying to argue. The person you responded to made a point about Major studios trying to make a hit… but focusing on business principles over actual game production.
You responded by boiling it down to “Devs should make better games” which wasn’t close to approaching the point they were making.
My point was that devs are not always the ones in control, and trying to simplify a point about business majors running studios into the ground is somehow about the development team being bad is missing the point by a parser.
No one said Team Cherry was a AAA studio. At this point of the comment chain, no one had said anything about them at all until you brought it up. No one is trying to disparage your fanboyism.

The difference is that devs arent the ones in control in most AAA studios.

The hype for silken has been going so long that it’s become a meme🤡. Just because it’s not as obvious anymore doesn’t mean it no longer exists.

Will you buy superego, though?

He’s a symptom more than a cause. This isn’t a recent development, just a recent escalation.

Four times worse, actually!

It is 100% still a thing.
- Comment on Is this month's Humble worth it if I'm not into Persona? 2 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 3 weeks ago:
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.

Painting with such a broad brush is how these people got to where they are now, don’t make the same mistakes they did.

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 3 weeks 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.
