There had been good writing before BG3.

Not surprising

Not in all jurisdictions.

They kinda do via taxes that are calculated based on the companies inventory value.

I don’t know if people realize how amazing this is.
Probably because they can’t wrap their heads around the kind of pushback something like a union gets in the US, it’s nuts.

That’s actually more than I thought. I thought about 80% fall into complete oblivion.

Thanks I’ll will try it eventually. It’s not the difficulty I’m worried about, it’s the sheer amount of combat.

I really want to experience the narrative but I really don’t want a JRPG. They burn me out.

the press was scolded for its frequent use of “Roman characters” under “Jewish influence”
makes sense for a rotten fascist brain
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 1 week ago:
It’s a social medium. It’s not the idea of it that’s shitty, it’s the prevalent platforms.

What’s Lemmy?

- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 1 week ago:
Let’s not push the myth here that over dependence on LLMs is the only source of bad code. In the past it’s almost always been management constraints, probably the case here, too.
- Comment on Evidence That Humans Now Speak in a Chatbot-Influenced Dialect Is Getting Stronger 1 week ago:
It’s a subreddit mentioned in the article that is mostly used to claim moral superiority by constructing ridiculous fake stories. Its mods claim that they are starting to have trouble to distinguish genuine from generated responses, but this sub always sounded like one giant moralistic hivemind.

If a development leads to the downfall of r/AmITheAsshole, I’m all for it.
- Comment on Asking the right questions... 1 week ago:
While the post might of course be generated, it’s a bit stupid that the use of dashes has become something of a (useless) shibboleth. It’s a valid typographical feature with distinct use cases and has been used for centuries. It’s fallen out of style lately, but it’s usage is quite in character for a 84 yo intellectual. The quote marks are also not weird, and if the post would have used bullet points instead of paragraphs for structure, you’d probably would have mentioned that, too.

Is the Rust backend mandatory?

There is also the advantage of an army of web devs who can build somewhat functional software for the desktop day one.
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 1 week ago:
Electron is fine for what it does. It’s just that every problem was turned into a nail and Electron is the hammer.

Except the cake will be good. It‘s more like making the entire cake out of fondant.
- Comment on Anyone a fan of Wizardry, or other first-person dungeon crawlers? 1 week ago:
Legend of Grimrock and Vaporum are supposedly pretty good. World of Horror looks sick and has a Junji Itō inspired spin. And there is a new release The Secret of Weepstone that’s very much inspired by the current resurgence of oldschool tabletop games.
- Comment on ROUTINE – Launch Trailer 2 weeks ago:
All the positive Steam reviews are from people who can’t believe the game has been finally released and say nothing about the actual game.

its clearly pr
Yes, as I said, plan B. Do you expect the studio to say “ok fuck it, let’s close up” when they projected a huge loss of sales after Steam denied their release?
- Comment on Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch 2 weeks ago:
It would be an extremely risky strategy. The studio’s whole portfolio are offbeat shortforms (indeed one of the higher profile indie devs) and I don’t think getting banned from Steam and losing sales there was something they anticipated. Using this for publicity is plan B for damage control.

please share your theory. also, why popularity matters.

- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 weeks ago:
It already is a unique art form. This is not defined by the commercial availability, and this game wouldn’t be the first art piece that understands controversy as part of its essence.
