I mean, this is Lemmy. Not exactly a paragon of avoiding spreading misinformation. But I appreciate your integrity nonetheless.

Spez would have been notified still, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he disabled or turned off notifications, even deleting them without reading them or never reading them at all. Most high profile people do that, including CEOs that use their own service or product.

Well, to be fair, YU-NO is a Classic Japanese Adventure game, which has come to be known as Visual Novel these days. Its basically a book in comparison to other video games.

Its hard to get excited about your work if it is also your hobby, I get you there.

Thats a bit of a weird way of saying that, but I get what you mean.

For me, it has to be A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World YU-NO. The original PC-98 release.

Be warned, the game has very explicitly drawn and described sex scenes, some of which I found extremely disgusting, personally, but I understand it is a game from a totally different time and culture and I am not here to police any of that. Fortunately, I learned pretty early on that none of those scenes contain anything actually relevant to the story of the game, so I could just quickly click through them until the picture changed. Fair warning, if you aren't the kind of person that can overlook this, then you will probably only be focusing on the like, two parts that amount to maybe 5% of the whole game. But its pretty bad, at least in my opinion.

YU-NO took me no joke 80+ hours to beat, on a blind first playthrough. The story is about time travel, and features a very complex branching story, especially for the time the game came out. It has like 9 different endings. Basically the main character is trying to travel through time to find his father, who was a historian that disappeared one day. You get a device in a package from your father that basically acts like a Quick Save for the various timelines in the game that get created by the choices you make as a player. If you give or don't give a certain item to a certain character at a certain time, that could have consequences that put you onto a different timeline, and if you need to get to a different one then you can Quick Load back to a point you used a jewel at. As you go through each timeline, you pick up jewels that act as more Quick Save points in the story. You have to collect all the jewels to get the True Ending of the game, which literally is just a sequel game. The Epilogue of YU-NO is so fire I almost wish it was its own game, YU-NO 2. It was a twist I was not expecting, but loved.

Needless to say, that game had me hooked. And while there were a few parts that were beyond my own personal opinion of redemption, I am glad I could look past those parts to see the rest of the game. There was a remake in 2017 that IMO totally destroyed the art of the original game, which was unfortunate, but I also don't think it even censored or removed the sex scenes, so I couldn't even be happy about that. Its just an all around downgrade except that it is easier to get that in English since it is on Switch, Steam, and PS4.

For $100. No, $110. USD. Base game only (digital key only).

In my area, extremely common target for shoplifters. Like, if there isn't at least 5 attempts of shoplifting at a Ross store in a few hours, it's not a Ross store. They usually end up having to close up around here because the losses are so bad. We were down to just one, but it got turned into a TJ Maxx, which is basically the exact same thing.

They usually sell discount and cheap clothing, mostly. They ahve other stuff as well, but they mostly carry clothes.

Is this an apology for the bad performance issues of UE5?

Great game, but definitely pay attention to the warnings the game gives the player, not only in the game itself but also on its Steam/download page.

Again, amazing game. But not a game for recommendation without a warning of its extremely heavy and violent content.

My first Touhou game was on PC-9801, "The Highly Responsive to Prayers." I think its the first Touhou game ever made? Not sure. I am not really much of an Outbreak or Arkanoid fan though, so I didn't really care for it.

Then I tried "The Story of Eastern Wonderland," which was extremely different from the previous game. I liked it more, but danmaku Shmup style games aren't really my thing. They're fine for a 30 minute stint, but I usually don't play those kinds of games any longer than that.

I am sure Touhou has branched out since then, is there a Touhou game you might recommend that is different from those?

Oh my god. It actually was a Titanfall game.

I am fully convinced an exec at EA just has a personal hatred for Titanfall.

I have to hand it to Bethesda and Virtuos. I was never really much of a fan of Oblivion, only playing it for a few hours and never finishing it (average TES Player moment), but this is an excellently handled remaster that, although it makes less than stellar changes in some places (or in some cases, no changes and just the mechanics of the base game, such as the overly "slidey" feeling movement, that are eventually easily fixable thanks to mods), ultimately they have done an excellent job.

I kinda hate saying it, but credit where credit is due. You earned it this time, Todd.

I only hope Bethesda can learn the correct lessons from this (pipedream) and make their next works even better. Very well done and I look forward to seeing Morrowind get the same treatment (I am actually delusional and huffing massive quantities of Hopium lol).

Yes, of course. Because only a Nazi would be concerned with trying to be respectful of victims of the awful, inhumane treatment they had to endure under the rule of one of the worst, if not the worst, governments of all time. Thank you. I should have realized this sooner.

I mean, was not when I said "4th Reich" including Neo-Nazis? I thought that is what I included.

Just to be clear, I do not support Nazis or Neo-Nazis. But American Democrats and Republicans (or any other ideology that may be different from my own) are not Nazis or Neo-Nazis. I don't agree with either side of American politics, but that does not make me qualify them as Nazis.

IMO, calling anyone that is not an actual, real Nazi, such as an American Democrat or Republican (or whoever else thinks opposite from me), a "Nazi" or even "Neo-Nazi," de-values the real suffering that people who are actual Holocaust victims had to deal with. Quite frankly, is insulting to me that anyone would ever attempt to equate the two. Its like saying getting hit by a fly swatter and a train will be the same level of pain and suffering.

I might think someone who thinks opposite of me is stupid, but it is neither illegal or against any rules to be stupid (sadly). But I certainly would not call them a Nazi and de-value the suffering Holocaust victims had to go through.

• And also patching in their spyware they just got fined for, which will likely mean they have to patch the game again soon to remove it or add a disclaimer for it

I bet it was Titanfall 3.

Lemmy is absolutely not beating the political tribalism allegations, holy.

Got banned for telling a Nazi off.

I hate to be that guy, but when you say "Nazi," are you referring to a literal 1940s National Socialist German Workers Party 3rd/4th Reich "Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil" Nazi (aka a real actual Nazi), or someone with a different political/social opinion/ideology from you (ie, a Republican/Democrat/whatever is opposite of your political/social ideology)?

I was on Reddit for like 13 years and never got banned for less than positive interactions with people that said they supported real, actual Nazis.

IDK, the old Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Super Mario Brothers, and Silent Hill live action movies weren't extremely well received. To say it is only the result of the IP and nothing else is not exactly true IMO, there is more to it than that.

To be fair, I can see how it being "unauthorized" was necessary to collecting genuine data that isn't poisoned by people intentionally trying to soil the sample data.

Its not more complicated. I guarantee you some of the devs have beef with each other behind the scenes long before this, and this is just the scapegoat for it. That's always what happens with these FOSS projects with more than one person working on them.

And its almost always over the dumbest things like "they liked X tweet on Twitter I don't like" or "they didn't do something I wanted."

They were complicit in allowing the supposed shady code for a long time, what suddenly changed? Its not incredibly hard to imagine.

Stellaris is a great realtime 4x strategy game. They have a lot of paid DLC, but you can pick and choose which modules you want. Some are purely cosmetic options while others make gameplay changes, and they go on sale pretty often. Worst comes to worst, you can usually find the DLC on key sites as well for pretty cheap. Paradox also started a subscription based service that gives you access to the DLCs, maybe you can subscribe for a month and try out which DLCs you like.

Project Zomboid is an incredibly hard resource management survival game. It is also very detailed, meaning you need to maintain everything about your character from their hydration, to their weight and fitness. Its a slow burner type game, but when the action picks up, it gets tense. Its also a "forever" game, in that theoretically, if your character never dies, the game never ends. The map is huge, big enough to feel different pretty much every time you play. Its also multiplayer, which is pretty fun.

Farming Simulator can be a fun, chill game to play. Its not as resource management intensive as a game like Project Zomboid, but it can be a good game to relax with.

Ragnarok Online is an older (2003) MMORPG that I recently discovered, and while I am not much of an MMO Enjoyer (I hate the "Disneyland" or theme park feeling most have where I have to wait in line at NPCs and bosses), Ragnarok Online's player population is consistently low enough to not feel like that while also being high enough to feel like the game is not dead. Just don't play on the official servers from the Steam client. Use a client that connects to private servers, the economy is really bad in the official servers.

King Arthur: Knights Tale is a pretty fun Strategy RPG. I haven't been able to play that much of it, but what I have been able to play was pretty fun. Check it out, it might be interesting to you if you liked Divinity and games with combat like XCOM or Fire Emblem.
