The costs are much worse than the time imo.

not reading / watching a play by Beckett means you’re uncultured

Is there a community for Shit Lemmy Says?

Sometimes a market you don’t even know exists opens up when you do something, so I get the logic of trying to open a competitor… But what did Origin or UPlay even do? Epic has freebies and a better profit share for publishers, GoG has their commitment to support old games, itch.io has the best profit share, indie focus, and I believe free listing? You need to do something to stand out from the monster that is Steam, or you might as well just stop.

We desperately need to ban all forms of real money gambling in games, or at least prevent kids from accessing it.

I’ve been playing X-Wing. The mad lads who built XWVM have essentially modernized the game and got it working on and with modern hardware, while strictly preserving its feel. It’s amazing.

"Trump is good and therefore anything bad that happens isn’t his fault and there is no reason to look into it because Faith in Christ is all I need”

Reminds me of the old 4chan joke: “I’m straight so anything that makes my dick hard is a woman.”

Nature is healing.

Nah this game got covered by many of the indie gaming channels, the game dev channels, was all over Reddit and even 4chan… It was received pretty well. The difficulty filters out some people but besides that it’s pretty good.

I could barely get Minecraft to run 20fps on this old laptop I had given to me a few years ago. Loaded Ubuntu on it and Minecraft ran near 60fps. Blew my mind.

Game runs like shit so I’m not buying it.

A strawman is when you take someone else’s argument and you represent it as weaker than it really is. By definition their statement was not a strawman.

It also does not appear to be an implication that OSS is a Mossad backdoor, only that the possibility is present. I presume this is based on the fact that Mossad has done this kind of supply-chain attack before (see the Iranian nuclear program, or the Hezbollah pagers) and that there have been multiple recent controversies about code inserted into OSS packages.

OSS is still the way to go, but we need better governance and best practices in a lot of organizations to make that happen. In fact if the FOSS community would help provide training and certification in this realm, it would help deal with many of these concerns.

I know someone who retired early because our ticketing system changed.

They’re going to stay there making bank off of insider trading until they’re so ancient someone accidentally walks through and disperses the dust cloud known as Pelosi, and they finally decide they have enough money to reach supply-side Jesus.

Fatshark has a bad habit of half-baked releases that take a year or more to get right. When they finally do, they leave it that way for a bit and then swing back around and completely change everything again even if we liked it. They just keep doing this shit.

I will not be buying Fatshark games until at least 2 years after release at this point.

Last time someone told me a game wasn’t for me I never bought any of their titles again. It has been years since that happened. I’m in it to win it on this one too. Eat shit Nintendo.

Between my wife and I we own damn near every Nintendo console, including every game boy, most of the DS/3DS versions, and even the Wii U. We bought two Switches because we both wanted to play BotW so badly at the same time lol.

This is where I draw the line. Palworld is an imperfect but fun game that I really enjoyed, and PocketPair deserves their success. It’s entirely on Nintendo/Game Freak for utterly failing to innovate that they now have such strong competition. They had more than enough money to try something new, get fucked.

I know a neoliberal small business owner who was complaining that his minimum wage workers aren’t as invested as he is… I told him that was obvious: they don’t benefit from the work they do, they don’t own any of the business, and there is always more minimum wage work out there. By his own ideology, why should they care about something that gets them nothing but the bare minimum and has no intrinsic value?

nobody wants to work anymore

I just fire back with “nobody wants to pay us anymore” now.

GOG and Itch are both great services. Epic is run by a psychopath and working hard to create the walled garden they themselves have been railing against. That’s why EGS can go to hell but I’ll gladly buy from the others.

I’m not buying or spending money in any more games with a killswitch
