These talking points sound like those of Thor from pirate software. I hope that’s not who you got this opinion from, because that man is just an industry shill.

An abusive partner accusing the other of cheating is very often a projection of the fact they themselves had been cheating. Since they know they would cheat, and were/are, they either assume the other person is the same way, or simply don’t want to draw attention to their affair. It’s an awful thing.

CDPR had originally announced a multiplayer mode, and then canned it after the launch disaster. Apparently there’s a mod being made to put it back in, though, that’s neat.

You can be interested in politics without having to engage with the media machine and all it’s biases.

Projection or wrong thread?

People say this every time it happens, and AAA game developers have been putting out unfinished broken crap for exorbitant prices for well over a decade, now. Don’t preorder after starfield, don’t preorder after cyberpunk, don’t preorder after fallout 76, don’t preorder after anthem, don’t preorder after…

Oh wait, there’s a new game coming out soon, I should preorder, can’t wait to play it!

I love CDDA and played it loads on desktop, but I could never get into the Android version. The touchscreen controls are painful, but of course they kind of can’t be anything but painful. I think most people play with Bluetooth keyboards, but I figure that if I have to use a Bluetooth keyboard, I might as well just be playing it at my desktop. Still have CDDA installed on my phone anyway though.

They can’t eat all types of peanut butter. If a brand of peanut butter that contains xylitol is fed to a dog, it will make them sick and potentially kill them. Xylitol is used as an artificial sweetener, and is very toxic to dogs. Don’t ever feed your pets human food without checking what’s in the ingredients label.

That’s rather defensive and hostile to what that other person said, but go off I guess?

And then when they do update the game, and add 20 more dollars of new dlc at the same time, if you’re someone who likes mods, well congratulations. Your installation is ruined and you can’t go back to your saved game(s) without there being some level of headache involved. At this point a high seas version of stellaris would probably be a relief, since there’s no auto updates and all dlcs. But here I am, a sucker who bought like three-quarters of the dlc over the years and can’t even play it because I’ll just be sad my last playthrough got ended prematurely with a dlc release… Fuck Paradox and all their games.

Oh wow, I could never put to words why I didn’t like the body type system either, but you nailed it. Yeah, I also wish that games could just give you sliders and/or more presets or something to have actual variety. If a game will only support curvy girls and buff dudes, but won’t also let people make, for instance, cute androgynous cat boys, or anything else a person might fancy, then what’s the point of it?

The android was named Ash

A way of thinking that, when granted power, criminalizes every other way of thinking and discards freedom 100% of the time… That countries don’t actively do something to prevent its prevalence works like a crack in the foundation of the freedoms they enforce. I’d not suggest legalized contextual murder like this op is asking about, but a clear outlawing of an ideology that brings nooses and book burnings with it, definitely.

No, the game this studio is developing is called “Once Human”. The studio itself is named Starry Studio.

Yeah? So give up on this frivolous stuff and do… what exactly? Spend 10 years redirecting everyone’s efforts into building mausoleums and tombs so we can all hop in in 2034? What are the NASA guys, or the European space agency people, meant to do in relation to the climate crisis and looming extinction event? Rocket science isn’t biology, isn’t climate science (though launched satellites and the like do help with researching it), isn’t geopolitics.

You give me the same vibe as gamers whining about a game’s art team making assets for cosmetic dlcs instead of adding story content or fixing game bugs or something, when they literally cannot do anything about those other things because it’s outside their jurisdiction.

Hmm, I’m a little surprised at how consistent the responses are, but I guess I shouldn’t be. I just know that if I did that spam until death and pass it all on to family thing that others here are about, well I wouldn’t trust my family to adequately handle big money after my death; they’d fuck it up, the greedy shitty ones would try and steal the will, keep some other family members from getting any; just anything to not just do what I wanted, and I wouldn’t be there to deal with it.

But regardless, since I found out I was trans, 1% death chance is too big for me. I want to live and experience my life approximately closer to how it always should have been, even though I lost a couple decades getting there. Hell, just the million dollars, even if we say it’s somehow still taxed and the fed takes a bunch, could resolve all my debts, pay for all my trans surgeries, and I’d still have more to help my family without them just fucking it all up. But I still wouldn’t want to risk the death for that.

The existence of an estrogen laser would imply the possibility of a testosterone laser, so if someone didn’t like getting estrogen lasered, they could just go get the t laser fired at them after. A hell of a game of laser tag, that.

The funny thing to me is, Dragon’s Dogma 1, in its original release on Xbox 360 and ps3, had microtransactions. You could buy rift crystals, lots of cosmetics, quests, etc. Then they released Dark Arisen as a complete collection sort of thing all dlc included, but I think you could still buy more for that too, mainly just the rift crystals.

Besides that, it seems like every single Capcom game in the last 10 years or something has had mountains of paid dlc, like buying proud souls and blue orbs in the DMC games (consumable upgrade materials), upgrades in resident evil games, all sorts of stuff. Not that I’m defending Capcom’s actions, I don’t like what they do here, but I just wonder why it was Dragon’s Dogma 2 that broke the camel’s back instead of any of their other games.

Some advice, just block the users posting the politics, if your Lemmy phone app or the desktop browser version support doing so. If they post stuff you don’t want to see now, they’ll post stuff you don’t want to see again in the future.

Me personally, that’s what I do. My mental health is in a tight spot and I don’t have the energy for the doomer shit any more, so I’d like to hang onto some of my essence, because I can just wait to go full doomer panic mode if Trump cucks his way into 2024 and starts banning trans people from life (which would affect me).

Also it’s worth considering, a lot of these people being “no I want the Dems to lose because some bullshit” might be fucking tankies/accelerationists sneaking in here again, not all of them but a bunch. That idea really clicked when a friend of mine pointed the possibility out.

I’m not that versed in politics because of my similar aversion to it as you seem to have, but I do know those idiots exist, are annoying and loud, and are just contrarion moron cowards who want democracy to end so they can con someone else into doing a whole revolution for them after it gets bad. Even though none of them would last through the getting bad part.

So just block people posting uncomfy memes, ignore Internet psychos, vote in November, including local elections wherever possible, and we’ll all hopefully come out of this without too much lasting trauma.

I’ll probably get whooshed like I always do in this fucking place, but. Andonuts says the f slur in Toby Fox’s earthbound halloween hack, that’s the “beef”. It was released back in 2008 by a teenaged Toby, and he regrets writing that and thinks it was very cringe today, so I’m sure the idea of there actually being a problem is exaggerated.
