Played a bit of it. It works quite well on a gamepad. You control the characters (initially just one, but pretty sure you’ll get a crew later) directly with the analog stick. It’s nothing like a traditional RTS, more of a strategic stealth game.
I don’t really agree that gamers should be blamed for this. Especially when it comes to lootboxes, battlepasses, gatcha etc. Those mechanics are tailor-made to exploit common psychological weaknesses in humans. The companies using these tactics and the lawmakers not stopping them should be blamed, not the people being exploited.
Going back to simple price increases, it’s not true that these always work out well for the companies or result in record sales. Remember the 3DS Ambassador program? Nintendo has already faceplanted pretty hard with their pricing strategy before. Since the Switch 2 isn’t even released, we have no idea how well the more expensive games will sell.
Switch 2 isn’t even out yet. We have no idea how the raised game prices will affect sales numbers.
As expected the industry is following Nintendo lead thanks to gamers.
What do you mean by “thanks to gamers”?
theoldnet.com has some of that and also works on really old systems and browsers.
Yeah, but I don’t think the nutters make up the full quarter of the voting population currently willing to vote for them. Lots of them are protest voters who are just vaguely “against”. Besides, I don’t think it’d be the deportations making some people reconsider, but the sheer economic stupidity of the Trump government as well as their attitude towards Europe. I fully expect Americans to be far poorer and more miserable in 2-3 years and that might do wonders to dispel the myth that the far-right could “fix the economy”.
From my European perspective:
Could you give us an example of such a location please?
Russia, which is blocked from other international payment systems. Or any other authoritarian country where you might not necessarily want the government to know where you donate your money to.
Whataboutism fallacy.
We’re still throwing around fallacies like it’s 2010? Okay, I cast fallacy fallacy!
When talking about whether a dopnation button should have a specific payment option, it’s relevant if the alternatives it offers are better or worse. Otherwise, the argument might as well be to not have a donation option at all.
Depending on where users are located, it might be the only realistic option they have if they want to donate. Besides, traditional payment systems like PayPal, MasterCard, Visa etc are all problematic in their own right.
I don’t really get the need for a term like this. People are attracted or not attracted to all kinds of aspects of other people, so do we also need hyper-specific terms based on hair color, ethnicity, body size etc as well?
For me, as an individual, I don’t think the cultural relevancy of my generation matters at all when it comes to getting involved in society.
Nothing in particular? I don’t see how my cultural relevancy would affect my life in any way.

I see no practical reason to build one on earth. It would be prohibitively expensive to build and maintain and there isn’t really any point to it. On planets without a breathable atmosphere, maybe, but I don’t see it happening within our lifetimes.
I live in an old house, so sometimes mice find their way in. Never really a huge problem though. I catch them with live traps and let them out a few km away. Don’t think I’ve had any in the last couple months.
Yeah, this seems like an attempt to create a token leftist community to prove that they’re not right-wing (despite all active political communities on there being just that). I find it quite funny that they’re still looking for an actual leftist to run the community… Good luck with that!
No, I’d rather just have a decent search function. Lemmy should be about human interaction, not getting answers from an LLM.
It’s neither communist nor a site.
The little icon directly on the right next to the “leftist infighting” title.
That really sucks. I guess I can see why Valve is not so permissive when it comes to one of their major cash cows. But it seems like they handled this really poorly by initially signalling permission for the project and then deciding otherwise at the last minute and after years of work.
