  • I have nothing but respect for people risking their lifes to fend off Russia. It is probably more important than any individual life.

    That being said, I have nothing but sympathy for any draft-dodger. I couldn't imagine fighting in a war and I myself would hide as well. That may change if I'd have kids, but even still, I would never wish upon anyone to be forcefully drafted.

  • So far

  • No way, we haven't even found all of them yet! Based on estimations, about 50~95% of all species have not been identified. (I looked that up.) You can go out there right now and find the new tastiest vomit yourself!

  • For starters, they are by far the worlds largest video game company. They own shares for a good chunk of gaming companies worldwide, for some even a majority. They own WeeChat and are involved with Discord. If nothing else, they are just way too big and hold way too much influence - that's never a good thing.

    They are known for censorship and are involved with the chinese goverment. You won't find many games the chinese goverment disagrees with and since they have a majority share in most large esport titles, being overly critical of china could end your career.

    Some of their own games are known to be blatant rip offs, companies they invested in tend to get worse with mtx.

    TL;DR: They are too big, hold too much data and have a bad track record.

  • My most downvoted one should be about Nintendo and Yuzu, I think. I don't agree with some of their overly aggressive methods, but I argueed against emulation of the current gen and don't think it is wrong for them to try and stop it (which of course didn't work, that's a different topic). Sucks for Citra and Pizza though.

  • Self-promotion, same as most other platforms. There are already people on here doing so. If you post your e.g. comics for free, there's nothing wrong with linking your website or merch.

    However, ads or other forms of monetization within the fediverse will most likely ruin it.

  • Bug Fables

    It's a really well done RPG in the spirit of the original Paper Mario games. Charming and fun to play. Got some depth to the build choices using a similar badge system as Paper Mario or even Hollow Knight.

  • I don't know about this quote specificly, but Darwin spent almost 10 years working on barnacles to establish himself and came to hate them. It was supposed to be a quick detour before releasing 'On the Origin of Species'. During that time he made a lot of similar statements.

  • First party? Xenoblade. All of them.

    In general? Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, SMT V, both SMT Devil Survivor games, Magical Starsign, FF Tactics Advance and oddly enough Custom Robo Arena and Chibi Robo.

  • I know the 'I bought the games beforehand!' crowd will come out of of the woodwork real quick here, but they are of course trying to stop software that's mainly used for piracy. At least wait until their stuff is off the shelves before you emulate it to 'perserve' it. There is no need to be this salty about it.

  • Awfully presumptuous of you, I've played most major releases within the genres I like. Let me tell you, the Xenoblade series is among the best RPGs I've played - up there with Persona and everything Fromsoftware among others.

    Also, what's up with the 30h comment? A good chunk of their games are longer than that. But it doesn't matter anyway, or you're also arguing against the quality of every God of War, every The Last of Us, Bloodborne, every Portal, Hades, every BioShock, every Resident Evil - you get it. A good chunk of these is also below 20h, and all of them are beloved and once sold at full price. All of them worth it, if you like the genre.

  • Many of the most fun games I've played the past 5 years are made by Nintendo. You might not like them and that is okay, but tgey are by no means garbage.

    The next take is probably more controversial, but I don't think they are overcharging. Why drop the price after a year or two? Games don't get magically less fun and their games are usually polished enough to last for the entire gen without being overshadowed by later releases (expect for Pokemon, they are hot garbage - at least on the technical side). I'd even argue that not dropping their prices is one of the reasons Nintendo doesn't need the mtx bullshit most other developers pull with their games. Just look at how well Mario Kart sells despite being something like a decade old at this point.

  • You've ignored the wider picture with this. There are generally 4 categories in which all comments fall:

    1. Sarcasm read as sarcasm
    2. Sarcasm read as being serious
    3. Being serious read as sarcasm
    4. Being serious read as being serious

    If everyone used /s 2. and 3. would disappear. Yes, you can think it is cowardly to avoid 2., but I think it is much more important to also avoid 3. by tagging all sarcasm.

  • I disagree. I love both of them, but I gotta say P5 is only fun once. It is way too dialogue heavy for a 80h game to replay and literally every side activity is boring on a repeated playthrough, hence I'd never have gotten to the actual Royal story content if I had played all of P5 initially. Yes, I could skip through most of it, but at that point I'm only playing a worse SMT with way too many interruptions and would potentially skip some changed stuff. SMT V on the other hand I see myself replaying anyways, should there be enough new stuff I'll go for VV. It's just pure gameplay goodness.
