And the Sony account requirement will be reimplemented in 3… 2… 1…

Hey man, sometimes you try a bunch of shit. None of it works. Then you try a fade out and it does.

Often times I find that songs sorta just write themselves. And sometimes the right ending is just a fade out.

Does miyamoto do business stuff? Always thought he was the creative guy.

Anyone know if and how this might affect Grayjay or revanced?

Yeah agreed.

It wouldn’t be the first time the first point has been brought up. If true it does sound pretty anti competition. But so far there’s been no proof valve is actually doing this and I’m skeptical that it’s happening at all. If it were happening I don’t think we would be getting free games on epic (at least not ones that are also sold on steam). Nor do I think we’d have games on gamepass that are also on steam. I also routinely see sales for games on Green Man Gaming, Humble Bundle, and epic that at the time at least make the games cheaper than they are on steam.

Maybe they have agreements with certain publishers to provide a lower platform fee than 30% in exchange for them not providing the games cheaper on other platforms?

To be honest I actually don’t think it sounds all that bad. If it were forced military service I’d think it was terrible. But it sounds like you can just do community service instead of the military training. And it’s just one weekend a month for twelve months. Given how much we’re disconnected from our communities these days I think making sure kids engage with their communities in this way could actually be really beneficial.

That’s just thinking about this one policy in a Vaccuum though. I know nothing about British politics so I have no clue what other awful and heinous shit this party may or may not be into.

Surprised anyone has even seen that. Was a really fun watch.

It’s real hard to find a purpose when your basic needs aren’t met. And finding a purpose doesn’t need to mean working a job that pays you money. You can find purpose in so many different ways and Id argue finding purpose in something not related to monetary gain is more fulfilling than a job. If your basic needs are met by UBI you’re free to find purpose outside of the rat race.

We really need UBI. If people just had enough money to live without NEEDING to work these people would be able to live relatively (compared to how they’re living now) comfortable lives without making public spaces awful.

I played a couple hours last night on game pass. I have a 3060 ti and a real cruddy cpu (ryzen 5 2600)

The game is absolutely gorgeous and I was surprised how well it ran on my machine. It’s a UE5 game though so obviously there were plenty of stutters. Definitely not the worst I’ve seen though. Much better than any frostbite game. So thats good. The audio design in headphones is also probably the best I’ve ever experienced in a game. Shit had me genuinely crawling in my skin when a random scary ass voice would start whispering at the back of my neck. Really cool stuff.

The gameplay though? Boring as fuck. I had assumed they would evolve the gameplay somewhat from the first game. I would have thought the devs would have realized that finding symbols hidden in a gray ass environment is about as engaging as a dollar store crossword book. But nope. It’s pretty much exactly the same as the first game. I don’t get it. Why devote so much money and resources into a game that just isn’t engaging to play? Sure, it’s gorgeous and sounds incredible. But if that’s all your game has going for it just make a CGI TV show or something.

Nice, a Lemmy post of a picture of a Tumblr post citing reddit for a completely bogus fact. We truly are using all of our brains these days.

Well I’m an idiot then. It looks just like the text boxes in Vagrant story. At least what the text boxes look like in my head lol. I stand by it being great though.

God, Vagrant Story was such a good game. And I typically don’t like JRPGs like at all. Just something about VS really hooked me.

Lol, guys it’s not acceleration it’s just the exact definition of acceleration. Which is definitely not acceleration.

Definitely the third option. They’re going to wait until Helldivers hype dies down then quietly reimplement the requirement when much less people are tuned in. Guaranteed.

Yeah that whole Dolphin thing was weird. Seemed like valve just didn’t want to deal with the legal headaches of fighting Nintendo in court over an application that didn’t really need to be on the steam store in the first place.

Can’t say I blame them really.

Personal opinion time: I don’t think emulators belong on a commercial store anyway. Keep them on their own websites or Github. Putting them on a store like steam is just asking for trouble.

And music streaming is only as good as it is because artists are getting completely shafted at every turn by both the streaming services and the record labels.

Damn. Hifi Rush was probably my favorite game last year. And that’s saying a lot for a year absolutely packed with crazy good releases.

Hopefully the devs maintained the rights to the IP, though I somehow doubt it, so they can still make the sequel under a different umbrella.

Is that Eric Andre doing his best Jet Set Radio cosplay? Because he’s kinda nailing it.
