- Comment on Obsidian Temporarily Removes Games From Sale Due to Unity Exploit 2 days ago:
From what I heard, they delisted only the premium editions of Avowed because some part of those use Unity. It looks like the same is true for the other games. Even for Pillars they only delisted the definitive edition.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 days ago:
The companion system is definitely a weak point. The companions themselves are fine, but you can’t refuse any and have very limited choice in party composition.
You can disagree with them at some points, and you can influence their story, but the gameplay impact is pretty much nothing.
The impact your choices can have on the world are definitely bigger - and visible in the game itself. I won’t spoil it, but there’s a pretty huge consequence not long after meeting Giatta.

I haven’t decided on a final party yet. In BG1 at one point I noticed I had an all female party, except for one guy - so I gave that guy a certain belt…. I was hoping to get an all female party going again, but I don’t know if it’ll be feasible.
Right now I have my sorcerer, Minsc, Aerie, Jaheira, Nalia, and I just replaced Valygar by Mazzy.

I’ve finished Avowed, and am going back to Baldur’s Gate 2, which I had put aside for it.
I liked Avowed well enough, though it is far from perfect. I would have preferred a classic CRPG like its predecessors, but it was fun to see the Living Lands in 3D - and the graphics really shine at night. It is absolutely gorgeous after sunset. And I loved the ending, although it seemed a bit too positive.
In BG2 I’m only in chapter 2. I just found Mazzy and am continuing to explore the dungeon she’s in.

Throat singing is cool. Try blasting en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_noise instead.

Yes.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 2 weeks ago:
Actually yes, I do cross platform development on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Mac is by far the most work and breaks constantly.
- Comment on Primordia, a sometimes difficult Point & Click Adventure game with a great story 2 weeks ago:
I like P&C games, but I wish more of them would adopt a serious tone. It feels like the large majority is comedic. I’ll have to check out Primordia.

Didn’t Microsoft do this a decade or two ago already? Or was that just exploring the idea?

Screaming into the void is fun until the void screams back.

Really? Then why is Apple so popular among a subset of developers?
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 3 weeks ago:
Shade aside, I do think more developers should make their own engine. Yes it takes time and resources, but those are spent on exactly what you need instead of on getting what you want out of an engine that was made to do everything but focused on nothing.
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 weeks ago:
The risk for both general and corporate business users far outweighs any minor inconveniences of moving to a new OS version.
Minor inconveniences like HAVING TO BUY A WHOLE NEW FUCKING COMPUTER.
These people live in a fantasy world.
- Comment on Sextortion with a twist: Spyware takes webcam pics of users watching porn 4 weeks ago:
They did the same to me. I think they’ve got cameras set up all through my house. So I started walking around naked so they’ll have something nice to look at. I haven’t gotten a thank you yet though.
- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 5 weeks ago:
They don’t accept verifiable sources. A hundred peer reviewed papers don’t weigh up against a single dissenting voice if that one voice agrees with their views.
- Comment on Belgium to recognise Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly 5 weeks ago:
The recognition depends on conditions that won’t be met, so it is dead on arrival. Israel’s response is predictable: in public they’ll condemn Belgium and say it supports terrorism. In private they’ll laugh about getting away with it again, and continue murdering people.

Witches made of sand! They cause sandstorms, extremely dangerous.
- Comment on 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know. I also remember spending summer nights talking under street lanterns, riding my bike around the block, and playing the Snoopy tennis game & watch. But the video I saw did not feel nostalgic. It felt like a TV ad that I didn’t believe even back then. Or worse, it felt like a cult, which was terrifying.

They know the truth. They know about the Great Glitter Bat. They worship in the Old Ways and prepare for the coming uprising.

I know you’re talking about early access, but even released games aren’t finished anymore until months later.

- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 1 month ago:
there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin.
Vivaldi without any plugins also works. No ads. And I’m sure there are many more possible configurations. This article reads like the author thinks there’s only two browsers and two ad blockers.
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 1 month ago:
I occasionally see similar complaints, and I’m sure it’s legitimate for some users. But personally I don’t get it. I don’t block NSFW content, and yet I rarely see it in /all. When I do it’s usually a bunch at once, but like I said it doesn’t happen a lot.
The only thing in /all that used to bother me is the sports stuff, but by blocking a single community that’s mostly gone now.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 2 months ago:
Ah Lemmy, downvoting an honest question. Never change.
rule34.xxx is a website where users can post naughty drawings, renders, etc. of mostly anime or computer game characters. Think of your favourite character of your favourite anime, game, comic, etc. Chances are there’ll be images of them on there.
- Comment on Meta to ban political ads in EU due to bloc's 'unworkable' rules 2 months ago:
It sounds like a way to pressure the politicians who won’t let them have unbridled freedom to exploit people on their platforms. I hope it won’t work.

Say here’s a thought: can we sue ad companies for theft of electricity? They’re using my electricity to display their ads, without my consent.

- Comment on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database 2 months ago:
in which the service admitted to “a catastrophic error of judgement”
It’s fancy text completion - _it does not have judgement _.
The way he talks about it shows he still doesn’t understand that. It doesn’t matter that you tell it simmering in ALL CAPS because that is no different from any other text.
