Oh my god, I totally forgot about this. People were even asking my advice to because I used to post so much at the time. This shit just fell off the face of the planet.

Stamets@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its gameEnglish171·2 days agoThis was not one of those situations though. Every reddit thread talking about this game has a ton of people who were playing at the time or after launch and all saying that it’s just a poorly done game.
I got it when it came out and tbh… it’s just not very good. I think a big reason games in the indie world become well sold is because of positive word of mouth (Balatro, slay the spire, vampire survivors etc) and this one was just… not good. I wouldnt recommend it personally. Source
That whole thread is filled with people talking about the state of the game before launch of 1.0 as well as the launch. Also some very good points about the weakness of their financial choices if they ended up broke at the launch of 1.0.
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its gameEnglish1554·3 days agoSaid this on /c/gaming as well but
I have no doubt that this bug played a part in their sales… However… The game was in early access for a decade before it actually released in 1.0. This was the 1.0 change log:
Changelog 1.0.0 - 12 december 2024
Adds:
- Guidance system: uses the completion tree to display objectives and help the player to progress. The guidance system can be disabled in Game options.
- Option to change the direction only when moving with the keyboard (player is not facing automatically the mouse)
Changes:
- Quests and dialogs with the crystal have been removed and replaced by the guidance system
- Worm transformation is always visible
Various bugs fixed
So to be honest, I’m not entirely sure that that launch was much of a launch to begin with… While the bug definitely had a part to play, I’m not sure this would have sold anything in the first place. It’s a terraria clone that was dragged through early access for a decade before launching in a way that doesn’t actually feel like a launch.
Stamets@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Trump boasts he ordered another lethal strike on a cartel boat in international watersEnglish42·6 days agoSo this is something that I’ve noticed recently, and honestly, it’s pissing me off. America has spent an absurd amount of its existence pushing its influence around the rest of the world, whether that be media or military. In all of it, American exceptionalism runs rampant, with Americans believing that they have the best country on the planet. Often comparing America to other countries as if America is the basic template of what something should be. Yet, when someone who is not an American decides to have an opinion on America, the Americans expect special treatment, saying that we do not know what it is like there. Yet they are the country that does not shut the fuck up about themselves.

Stamets@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Trump boasts he ordered another lethal strike on a cartel boat in international watersEnglish71·6 days agoIs it really that troublesome that people from a nation made up of dozens of states, reservations, islands, etc want the same?
Yup because you’re one country.
What you initially described is one country being annoyed of getting said they’re responsible for another country. You’re all the same voting block. Moreover, a voting block that overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump. He won in majority of votes and then something like 40% of your eligible electorate decided not to vote at all.
So, once again, I am not adding a disclaimer and caveat to every single comment just to spare the feelings of Americans. You’re either capable of going “Well clearly this doesn’t apply to people who aren’t bigots” or you need it literally spelled out for you. If you need it literally spelled out for you then you’re the type of American who the rest of the world is utterly sick of in the first place.
You said terrorist nation, not state.
American.
Here’s the definition of State:
a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.
Here’s the definition of Nation:
a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.
Glad I could help you with your civics lesson.
Stamets@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Trump boasts he ordered another lethal strike on a cartel boat in international watersEnglish55·6 days agoOkay, and what’s your solution supposed to be? To have everyone go, well the United States is a horrible country that is filled to the brim with bigots, but because there is a tiny, tiny margin of people who aren’t, we should be kind to the whole country, because we don’t want to hurt their feelings? Or do you expect me to add a disclaimer to every one of my comments saying, of course, this does not apply to those in this case or that case or this other case? Because if so, that’s also ridiculous. You might have ALSO noticed I said the country is a terrorist state and not every single person is culpable. But there’s this thing called the majority…
So no. I will not be adding a disclaimer to every comment saying something both of us are aware of. But way to go on disproving the stereotype of Americans and expecting special treatment.

Stamets@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•AP reporting calls into question why and how Israel attacked a Gaza hospitalEnglish171·17 days agoWhy? Because Israel is a terrorist state that has no reasonable right to exist at the BEST of times considering it boils down to “My god said this is mine” and was created after a world war by idiotic Europeans. They have been emboldened for decades by funding their war machine and espionage.
They’re fucking terrorists and Nazis and they DO NOT CARE about any country other than their own which is why they routinely have their cowardly bunch of spies go everywhere and illegal steal people away because mah morals.
Fuck the entire country and every Israelite who doesn’t actively condemn them. Because there’s one word for a person who stands by and doesn’t stop a Nazi and the word is fucking Nazi.
I had the same issue with steam. They requested the same things. A ton of hoops to jump through but worth it because, you know, security.
A lot of private information
Public nicknames, passwords and emails that could be fished from public dumps and retried, public crew names… Where’s the private and where is the a lot?
Also you’re not even paying attention. You called someone Aaron well after they’ve left the conversation.
Yeah I wouldn’t have let you in either with that hostility and level of vaguery
An instance of stochastic terrorists. Fantastic.
