I hoped so.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 5 months ago:
I can see that. But that wouldn’t be “negrophobic” either. Not everything negativ in the context of a group is phobia.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 5 months ago:
This whole exchange could be more productive if you could explain your opinions.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 5 months ago:
No.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 5 months ago:
Hmm okay. But the I still don’t understand how it is transphobic.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 5 months ago:
I don’t get it.
How is it undermining that and not affirming? I mean to fetishise a group is wrong, I get that and that is also my opinion but if they want to fuck a transwoman they want that because she is a woman which affirms the womanhood?
And the point is how is it transhate if you like the trans aspect specifically. Doesn’t make sense to me.
It is not a wordplay it is what those words mean. Phobic means something like hate or fear and phile means something like love or attraction.

- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 7 months ago:
i think you are right in your assessment but I would argue that consistency also is a crucial factor.
It may be harder because of the things you say but in the end the people who invest money (into everything but the games themselves) are just in to make money.
They will try to squeeze as much money out of the customers without losing them. Or at least without losing Profit. Losing customers and still making more money is a valid strategy it seems.
People will notice that. Some earlier then others but it will get noticed and then they leave. To the next thing.
You are right with the headstart etc. so as a Dev you should accept your limitations and instead focus on the things that you can control (to an extent) and that is planing the budget in a way that you can be consistent.
And when people are looking for the next thing, you will be there better then before. Then you got customers and an image that seperates you from the rest.
And people will remember.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 7 months ago:
I agree with you that they most likely needed the money to do what they wanted to do at that scale.
But I think my point still stands. Because it is a deal with the devil in the most literal sense that is possible. You get to your goal faster, easier or at all but in the end you have to ask yourself if the price you paid for that was worth it when the devil comes collecting. That is the moral of the fictional Storys, isn’t it?
But to add to this. I think we, as consumers, aren’t completely innocent either. Buying only the best looking, 1000 hours, other buzzword games. This undeniably sends a message to indie devs which can lead to people making self harming decisions.
One could argue that we got groomed to want that. And I do. All those blockbuster-games that were made under gruesome conditions are unsustainable. But we didn’t knew that. We thought that they were the new normal.
But now we know better. This is just normal if you walk over corpses to get to your goal. And if we want developers that value our time and mental health, then we should value developers time and mental health in return.
Which means showing them that we will buy games that are not those 10 million dollar productions. And that we will measure the quality of the game compared to the resources that went into that particular game and not compared to a game that had an unholy amount of resources to burn through.
In the end we need to find a way to cut out all the rich people who came into the gaming industry as it broke into mainstream, who are throwing their weight/money around and bully everybody into submission.
And that needs strength of character. It means not buying the new shiny thing that we have seen an add for the hundredth time today, no matter how much we want that. It means not taking that deal which will make that problem go away quicker.
If gaming has taught us anything, it is how to prevail against overwhelming forces. That it takes compassion, companionship, a bit of anger and sacrifices.
If we haven’t learned that, why the fuck are we even playing.

The lesson we learn here is that you don’t take money from the mob.
Don’t go public with youre company.
Don’t get involved with the devil.

A shit company who seemingly has ties to some Russian invaders: lr.n8pjl.ca/…/please_remove_references_to_a_russi…
And I think you are right that another game has to come around and just do tarkov without the mistakes.
Shouldn’t be that difficult for experienced devs to make a barebones version of it of which can be build upon.
- Comment on After promising free DLC forever to some players, Escape from Tarkov locks a new PvE mode behind $250 edition 8 months ago:
Yeah, the pain is real. Bought it not long ago because a friend was deep into it. It is fun. Has it’s problems but still a great experience so I played it solo too.
But then I found out my friend had a different version with, in my opinion, unfair advantages. Which was a bummer. And now this shit? I’m out!
A shame. The concept is great but in a hardcore game like this, every advantage weights even more because there is everything at stake so it makes no sense to play it with this kind of crap.
Hope that single player version will find a way to make public server possible so BSG can get fucked.
Completely tonedeaf decision on their part.
