my first introduction to this mod

I wasn't excluding this type of mod when I asked my question. Small fixes definitely count!

Spoilers on Lemmy work like this:

I'd have to say thanks to SMAPI and Content Patcher for enabling so many Stardew Valley mods in the first place.

Also, Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack for allowing me to have a mostly bug-free experience playing Dragon Age: Origins. Mostly.

I've heard about Minami Lane being cool. I bought because that and the strike

"In case you missed it"

I ABSOLUTELY did not know about that until your comment, where do you find out about these things? I am always down for charity bundles but I do not always know about them till it is too late. Bought this one.

I may have lost the plot here.

And there is over a decae of discussion on how people even found that and lots of nonsense theories. And IW actually searched through a mixture of blog posts, press releases, youtube videos, and even message boards to paint a picture of what actually happened. And… it is very very different.

What is the "what actually happened" that is different? You do not need to explain the entire story to me, what I mean is what is this "what actually happened" concerning? Is it about how people found how to unlock the DLC? Were you commenting a commonly-believed DLC unlock path in your second paragraph but it is actually something different?

And for how this ties back to game preservation… would this be preservation of video game history?

Thanks for your replies, by the way

Although, people like Illusory Wall very much rely heavily on The Internet Archive when they are researching what the deal with the Dark Souls 1 DLC was. Which gets into the other side of “what actually IS games preservation?”

Based off this I'd imagine it might involve backing up the game's release announcement and some sale pages with its description online, proof the game existed, before the page gets changed because the game is no longer the hottest and newest thing or stores are no longer selling the game?

I get the feeling you know more about this topic than I do and probably have strong opinions about it.

Thanks for the namedrops of where to find articles, and what I assume are people who make long-form videos on video games!

Copyright/Trademark/IP Protection is very much a thing. It is the main reason so many museums have “no pictures” (barring the increasingly rare cases where it is genuine light concerns). And that applies a lot more when it comes to “modern” history, of which video games definitely count. But even for ancient manuscripts, the answer tends to be “if you fill out all this paperwork and can demonstrate a genuine need to our board, you can come by and read that manuscript in a clean room. Or… you can spend 20 bucks on a copy in our gift shop. Hell, if you stop bothering me I’ll spot you ten bucks toward that”

This is why I appreciate the Internet. Getting insight on how stuff I do not know about—I'm not a museum curator—works.

I do not know what Star Crusader is but I'm also in the audience for deep dives as opposed to overexaggerated YouTuber-who-wants-you-to-form-a-parasocial-relationship-with-them reactions. When I do drag my butt over to YouTube, I usually find myself watching some long-form informative gaming video. There are some people with a following who get mentioned in the comments of other informative gaming videos (Summoning Salt comes to mind) so you are definitely not alone in wanting deep dives. :)

Not sure where to find deep dive articles, but wish I knew. Someone over at !pokemon@lemm.ee provided one and it's stoking my appetite for them.

I used to fill surveys on r/samplesize for fun, it was a mild positive of my day to come across one on Lemmy!

I do have some issues with some of the questions, spoiled for those who have not taken the survey yet.

I'm not a football/soccer person, but I do feel bad for what happened here. I saw in the article a survey on your favorite management game with a Football Manager title as an option, how are these games if you look at them as management games instead of as sports game?

Every time I see a sequel I get curious about the first. KCD1 seems like something I have a 50/50 shot at either loving (roleplay!) or hating (QOL stuff, probably the combat), not sure which side I'll come out on.

I'm asexual, not aromantic, but thinking about this from an aromantic perspective I completely get wanting more close platonic relationships that don't turn romantic. That would actually be inclusive, a lot of people try to put romance everywhere, and I get it! It's fun to do! But aromantic people like to have representation too, and options to be friends but not romantic helps them feel represented.

Too bad this guy's "checkbox insert" means it's probably (I might be wrong) an "omg gay people exist in my game, gross" complaint and not a "hey platonic relationships are important too, don't make every significant relationship romantic" for all the aros (or even non-aromantic people who think friendship is important as well as romance) out there.

Given the "people online, especially gamers, are antisocial losers with no friends!" stereotype, the very real issue of how difficult it is for adults to make new friends in some parts of the world, and that online there is no tone of voice or body language, I can definitely see how it is being read as a genuine complaint. Plus you can always find people with wildly differing perspectives online, which tends to completely deaden the "nobody would ever believe/say this, definitely a joke" reaction.

Recognized the name from Skyrim modding, clicked, interesting read.

Description looks so cool. I'm probably going to have to watch some gameplay videos to see if this is something I want to follow.

From the description here I was thinking more Hitman but what is here sounds interesting.
