  • Game seasons are not really the same thing as live service games though.

    I'm really not into Tekken but there are games I play that have setup. Of course probably the most famous of all been Foxhole.

    Anyway the point is that without "seasons" (simply called that because it harkens back to TV not because there are necessarily four in a year) there isn't really any natural conclusion to the game, so you have short tournaments and people rank up within those tournaments, but obviously you don't want the tournaments to go on for too long because otherwise there's no way in for new players as they'll start way down the rankings and not be able to compete. The solution for this is to reset everything every season, but then you've got the problem that people learn the meta and are able to rank up to high ranks almost immediately, whereas newer players don't stand a chance so you haven't really fixed the problem, the solution to that is to change the meta every season. That way everyone has an equal chance of working it out for themselves and ranking up.

    I'm pretty sure they even did this with OverWatch back in the day.

  • What? You find the 12 pixels that comprise this image to be suspicious?

    Given the low resolution I'm not sure how you can come to any real opinion about it at all but it certainly doesn't scream AI generated.

  • I've heard of nigging but I've never heard of this.

    That said when these idiots typically start hanging around a bar you know that it's a good indication that you need to to go to a better bar.

    Of course it's always a good idea to hang around for a little bit to see how long it is until one of them gets a drink thrown in their face. Always entertaining

  • It's why I've gone through all of my old media and transferred them to my media PC. But I have to admit it's more satisfying when it's in the form of physical media, when it's all computer files I hardly ever look at them.

  • When you make a game trailer steam recommends two trailers (I think you can only have two trailers at any one time). One of them can be edited but the other should probably include some gameplay. Because just from that trailer alone it kind of looks like an RTS, I'm not getting any city builder vibes from it.

  • I'm pretty sure it'll turn out to be illegal in the UK too, it's just that the UK isn't in Europe anymore so these things always end up having to get hashed out in the courts and then it always turns out that the UK basically just follows the EU standard anyway.

  • It was such an underwhelming product at least from my point of view. I mostly just kept it docked but really other than Zelda games there wasn't anything worth playing.

    I still own it, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you where it is.

  • It's not really about lowering birth rates directly it's about removing the perceived need for higher birth rates.

    There are quite a lot of studies that show that even in countries where infant mortality is now manageable it still takes several generations before that trickles down to the population and they stop having 15 kids as standard. Also lack of sexual education doesn't help.

  • Oh I know. My uncle was a big part of all of the work to make it a non-issue.

    I'm just saying it was hardly scarring, unlike the other things listed. Most people didn't really think it would be a big thing and it turned out, because of other people's hard work, not to be a big thing.

    Mostly it was just a giant waste of NASA's time trying to explain to people why it wouldn't result in toasters exploding no matter what anyone did or did not do, because toasters don't care about the date.
