Probably a good call since Bungie clearly plagiarized a lot of the art in this game from artist ANTIREAL.

It’s not like this game was going to be remarkable anyway.

Unless Piefed gets a database import ability to port Existing Lemmy databases to that I don’t think Switching to it would be such a great idea. It would mean starting our instance from scratch and losing everything we have content, user registrations, communities. If Sublinks hadn’t stalled it could be a promising alternative, and maybe will be in the future, since it’s built around that whole concept of database and API compatibility.

This is really shitty but it doesn’t surprise me at all. He’s trying to make a shift because he doesn’t want to face repercussions of being labeled transphobic, possibly being widely banned and ostracized.

It’s very different when someone actually realizes they were wrong and want to change and be better. Nutomic isn’t doing that here, he just wants people to give donations and to avoid fallout from him letting his opinions slip publicly.

I’m not sure if that picture is real but there are definitely Ammonite fossils that large. Just in case anyone had any doubts.

Oh yeah and there are ones bigger than the one shown is this post too. Like this one:

Old CRTs are probably the best thing for Retro gaming since they offer no input lag. Also Light guns (Yes I know you can use Light guns on LCDs by hacking the game to introduce delay but that doesn’t work on all light guns).

I don’t think anyone is arguing against their right to sell it, they’re being called out because people really shouldn’t buy it. It’s kind of a bad financial decision. If you still want to that’s your decision but people shouldn’t buy it without knowing they could get a better deal elsewhere. That’s why these things get called out for being too expensive, not because they aren’t or shouldn’t be allowed to, but because people deserve to know it’s a horrible deal.

I can’t fathom the idea of wanting to play that garbage, let alone spend money on micro-transactions in it, but maybe that’s just me, maybe my brain isn’t smooth enough to find games like that stimulating and entertaining.

Probably also the same reason all the people who have tried and to get me addicted to gambling have failed.

There are a handful of online games I do like to play, generally ones without competitive elements, and I limit online gaming to people I actually know. But yeah most of the games I do play are single-player.

You can play way more than just Aperture Desk Job for free, a lot of games on Steam these days are Free, and I’m not talking about free to play. I’m not sure but I don’t remember there being any full free games on the eshop, F2P yes but developers there never opted to make their games just free. Some devs on Steam absolutely have.

I’ve kind of given up on the idea of playing those types of competitive online games, not just because of people cheating in them but also because of how the community these days addresses cheating, by witch-hunting and accusing people of cheating for being too good, or for sucking at the game, or for having opinions on surveillance and security (sometimes just because for being queer). They also often harass these people they target. I have hundreds of toxic assholes on Steam blocked for this behavior alone because they came to my profile to harass me.

The term “artist” here is being used kind of loosely. They’re doing the bare minimum you need to turn a skeleton into a living creature. Good artistic representations require a lot more imagination, beyond what we scientifically know. You can get clues by looking at already existing animals and how they relate to their skeletons. Which gives an idea of how much not bone material those creatures might have. No you won’t know exactly how much they did, but that’s not really being represented by skin wrapping either is it. Better to try and go for something believable rather than the bare minimum.

A large majority of Physical games have secretly been made as one-time activation keys, and aren’t really a physical game in any meaningful sense since most of the game isn’t on the disc. Physical games at this point are more of a semantic argument to distract people from the real question, when will online DRM and activation completely take over?

I’ve seen this before, though back then they used the original Raspberry Pi Zero and that one was less powerful.

Shameful clickbait article which doesn’t even seem to mention the game that was supposedly shut down. This person should be ashamed for writing this and honestly you should be ashamed for posting it. This is an utterly useless article.

Yeah I wouldn’t say any of the controller or remote control typing implementations are quick or easy. Even on Kodi I use an external keyboard (built into the remote control I got for my libreElec media player).

I never actually bought an AMD card per say but I have been very disappointed with Nvidia and their laptop GPUs. It feels like those things put out more heat than work.

Recently got a laptop with an AMD GPU and CPU and it’s like night and day difference.

It was disgusting when I tried it. I don’t think it helped that it was wood fired so the broccoli and carrots were heavily singed. Was very gross. It also barely had any cheese on it.

Anyone ever seen or even tried broccoli and carrots on Pizza? It’s truly disgusting.

I wouldn’t entirely agree, it’s shit because Google and Apple enable the practice by providing app Advertising frameworks and fighting back against people working against those systems (i.e. mobile ad blocking and app firewalls, either through store policy or public discouragement).

Developers are incentivised because advertising both:

1. Gives reoccurring revenue, beyond what a purchase would give.
2. It makes people more likely to pick them up since people easily pick things up that are cheap or even free.

Advertising basically takes away the need to sell stuff and allows poaching revenue from people even if they don’t want to support the app. I’ve known many Devs who will try to eek out more revenue by click fraud (auto clicking their own ads).

So I’m not really a fan of implying this is our fault or “devs gotta eat too”. This practice is very much corporate greed.
