I’ve had this on my wishlist for a few years now, so that’s nice. Might give it a try later today.

Not surprisingly, it didn’t gain much traction - I never got the impression Beths. was happy with FNV’s reception (good and bad).

Getting absolutely humiliated by Obisidian’s spin off game being miles better than their mainline games couldn’t possibly have been the reason, right? /s

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I wouldn’t describe FNV as being miles better than FO3.

I mean, you’re entitled to your opinion even if it’s absolutely wrong.

This one actually sounds real.

I’d be down for a remake.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I agree with you, they’re fine the way they are. But if they want to splurge on a new version, then why not, you know? I wouldn’t mind seeing the cast of the game rendered in full 3D. The one Falcom game (two really) that I think actually needs a remake is Ys 1 and 2, those games are just horribly dated by modern standards.

Because anything even vaguely related to Russia = satan for westerners now.

Honestly? Gamers deserve all the shit they get, I’m all for consumer rights but I have no sympathy for the people that buys these games and then later complains about it. You’re not part of the problem, you are the problem.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Wait, didn’t they say the character models weren’t part of the problem? I smell bullshit…

Oh the irony, up until now it was basically a bannable offense to be caught topless on stream even if you were a dude, now they’re allowing borderline camwhoring (on a website full of children mind you). Really, the only moral or ethics these companies believe in is money.

You seem to think I care whether children are exposed to porn on the internet. Congrats on completely and utterly missing my point.

Good riddance. The Game Awards next please.

To be honest, if it’s not a demanding game I don’t mind installing it on my HDD since it has way more memory than my SSD.

Boggles my mind people unironically watch this garbage. Then again, people watch the Oscars so what do I know…

I sincerely hate that shaking “donate” button though. It’s already annoying to have a button for that, but a shaking one? Come on…

Not sure if a hidden gem or not, but WingetUI is pretty handy. You can manage software in winget, scoop, chocolatey, pip, npm and .net with a graphics interface.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I believe WingetUI already runs in silent mode, it suppresses most windows in my experience. You can define parameters for individual packages, but not globally as far as I know, you’d have to check the documentation or their github to be sure.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Nah, it manages packages but that’s about it. It’s a very straightforward software.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes it will, it will come to PC a year or two later in a “special edition” to make all the suckers to double dip.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Ah yes, the sequel that is not really a sequel and just an update.

This has to be one of the worst marketing fads of the last few years.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

No thanks. Cut that price in half and maybe we can talk.

He’s sounding more and more desperate as the years pass.

This may seem kind of stupid but I am kind of stupid, is there a list somewhere of phrases that are stupid or insensitive racially or gender biased?

I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say....

@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Okay, but what if they like being called indian as opposed to native american? Now you’re being offensive to those people. It’s kind of like that ridiculous latinx term that some PC people have being pushing for a few years now, I’m yet to meet anyone thay likes being called that as opposed to just latino/latina.

If you’re in doubt what to call someone, just ask, don’t assume.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Eh, either you go full 3D or hand drawn, mixing the both just looks odd and cheap.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s the new trendy technology to hate, last year it was NFTs, now it’s AI, next year something else will come up.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Ah yes, because not wanting to look like an ogre means you have gender dysphoria or whatever the kids call it nowadays.

Brazil commemorates Thanksgiving? In what bizarro world? I’ve never met a single person here who ever did that, in fact the vast majority of people have absolutely no clue what Thanksgiving is or that it even exists.

The author is just pulling this shit out of their asses lol.

Caligvla, (edited )
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Maybe, but that’s like 0.1% of the population, there aren’t many American communities in Brazil. Maybe it’s a thing in Americana (a town founded by ex-confederates, I shit you not), but otherwise…

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

6000 to Brazil more especifically, somewhat insignificant number if you ask me considering the number of germans, italians, japanese and arabs that immigrated here.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I know, 6000 people mostly concetrated in the town of Americana with roughly 250k citizens (not all American descendants obviously), so if there’s a place that might celebrate Thanksgiving in Brazil, it’s there.

So unbelievably stupid that a game that originally was PC only isn’t receiving a PC version for the remake. The Type-Moon suits are completely brain dead.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I hate to say it, but getting rid of mosquitos would probably have bigger consequences than that. The females are the only ones sucking blood, the males on the other hand help pollinate plants, exterminating them could potentially affect our food production lines…

… But not gonna lie I’d still genocide the fuckers, ecological damage be damned.

@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

They only pulled the game off their stores because people were asking for refunds en masse, otherwise they would’ve happilly kept selling it like other platforms.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

🙄

Can’t stand this Miyamoto quote. Not only it’s contentious at best (think of all the terrible games the kept getting delayed), it’s factually untrue since the mid to late 2000s when online patching for games became common practice across the industry.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I agree with the first impression aspect and I believe it’s important to get the release right because of it, but the phrase deliberately implies a bad game will always be bad which just isn’t true. “Bad impressions are forever” would be more accurate.

Americans are explaining why they don't say 'you're welcome' in customer service settings after foreigners complained that 'mmhmm' comes off as rude (www.insider.com)

I was watching a video from two years ago about different social norms and this showed up. Found someone questioning the same eight years ago on reddit (when it seemed less normalized). It feels so weird not being aware of this shift, even as a foreigner.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Honestly, mmhmm is what seems alien to me.

It sounds absurdly rude if not sarcastic to me, I think I’d rather even a sarcastic “you’re welcome” than that because at least it sounds like the person acknowledged your gratitude. Really, if you’re gonna use “mmhmm” you might as well just stay silent.

Grim Dawn - Announcing Grim Dawn: Fangs of Asterkarn! - Steam News (store.steampowered.com)

I am not sure if this is meant to be a triple A title or not, but you cannot knock it imho. A game with no cash shops or loot boxes. The only DLC are expansions to the original game. One of the few games where I would say the expansion are worth the cash. Many games release pitiful expansions with very meagre content....

Seems like they’re missing the absolutely very important point that the target audience for The Sims doesn’t have NASA quantum computers to play their games. Sure it looks beautiful, but 99% of your audience won’t be able to play it unless you have Carmack himself doing arcane computer wizardry to make it run on a toaster.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

average gaming PC

That’s precisely my point. The vast majority of Sims players don’t have gaming PCs, hell the majority of them don’t even play any games besides The Sims. They’re primarily playing these games on crappy work laptops, most of them without any discrete GPU in fact.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Food for thought: if your audience can’t play your game and everyone else doesn’t care about it, how do you make money?

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Older, cheaper game with a vastly larger modding scene has more players? No shit, Sherlock!

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You’re expecting too much of them.
