I’m getting the vibe that it’s been developed with full knowledge that it’s going to be a commercial flop, and they’re just hoping to at least not lose money. Feels like the developer had a contract to make a live service game w/ the IP so they’re just chugging it out. Obviously not sure though.
Nobody is going to buy this I don’t get why they’re pushing it
I’m not sure who yet, but I will be voting for a third-party candidate.
I fundamentally draw the line at voting for any candidate that funds genocide like joe. The two party system is broken.
A lot of games increase difficulty by just turning up HP and attack numbers, and part of the fun of souls games is that that’s really not how they handled difficulty.
Final Fantasy VII. I was never able to beat the sephiroth boss fight. I enjoyed the story, but I don’t feel the need to play it again.
Why do you think people use a credit card to buy nice things they don’t need, per se?
Something like 62% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. It’s not that people “feel they deserve stuff before they can afford it”, it’s that in our current economic system, prices are going up and wages are staying low. Productivity is going up, but compensation is not keeping up with prices or productivity. People can at least dream of being able to pay off a credit card that they used to buy a new TV or maybe a new car, but something bigger like a house, or comfortably affording children, is off the table because of how expensive everything is right now.
But let’s be totally honest, people get into debt to do things like pay rent, or on car repairs, or hospital bills, or vet bills, etc. etc.
tell that to the cheapest apartment I could find being, quite literally, more than half my income.
The Ace Attorney Chronicles. It’s two ace attorney games bundled, and I’m playing it on switch. You play as a defense attorney and try to solve crimes and defend your client, and the cases are top notch.
More focus on the ability to maintain, repair, and perhaps even upgrade existing tech. So often people are pushed to upgrade constantly, and devices aren’t really built to last anymore. For example, those yearly trade in upgrade plans that cell phone providers do. It sucks knowing that, once the battery in my cell phone finally dies, the whole phone is essentially garbage and has to be replaced. I miss my older smartphones that still had replaceable batteries, because at least then it’s just the battery that’s garbage.
We’re throwing so much of our very limited amount of resources right into landfills because of planned obsolescence.
The game has it’s issues, don’t get me wrong. You need to build the teleporter for the main quest, which does require some materials, but so long as you’re picking stuff up as you’re looting, you’ll often just have what you need.
I don’t know that there’s a mod, but the building really can be mostly ignored outside of a small handful of quests. It’s mostly optional.
I’m really not convinced that even if linux, at some point, does become a better platform for gaming than windows, that windows users will swap over. Mainstream gamers probably have never installed an OS before, it’s intimidating for people.
It is, but most of their library is DRM free, so once you download it, those files are yours. Steam won’t let you launch a game without logging into your account, gog doesn’t even check.
A big part of why I use Jellyfin to self host is because I want local, offline access to media. I can host it on my PC, which only took like 30 minutes for me to set up, and use the app to Chromecast it to my tv. That’d be a lot harder if I was streaming off shady streaming sites.
I’m not going to argue the ethics of piracy, because the point is that a lot of people will do it if they otherwise cannot afford to buy games. Also, some games just never really go down in price, especially if you’re talking nintendo. To this day Breath of the Wild is still $60 if bought new or digitally.
The problem that they’re not considering is that if they raise the prices, more people are going to be priced out of buying the games, and will resort to piracy. The cost of living is absurd right now, and I can only afford a handful of $60 games a year.
Looks awesome! Glad to see quake getting more love.
I don’t know much about 1Password, but I’ve been using BitWarden for years.
The autofill feature is nice, but sometimes you’ll have to unlock the vault for it to continue to work, which can be a pain at times. It’s pretty flexible, you can save personal information and cards on top of logins, and it has a password generator built in that I pretty much always use now for making my passwords. It’s not fancy, but it’s really functional, and works on all my devices without issues.
Because to companies, labor is just a business expense, you’re a cost to be kept low so they can please investors/shareholders. Our system isn’t for your average worker, it’s for the people who own the businesses.
