This makes me realize that I can’t think of hardly any videogames with a black character at the forefront.

Sure, there are black playable characters in MOBAs and MMOs, but how many story-driven games have black characters at the forefront?

The most recent one I can think of is Alan Wake 2. And Spider-Man Miles Morales. But there really are so few compared to those with white main characters. Which is sad.

Probably everyone should avoid Alabama colleges in general.

Anything over a $500 million in asset value taxed at 100%.

Far above what anyone should own. And yet, you’ll get middle-class people defending the people with those riches, that they deserve to keep their billion dollars.

The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

It’s only a first version. I’m sure with time, it’ll get even better.

People are literally only asking for the same console, a few refinements, and with better performing internals.

The form factor is excellent, if a bit flimsy. But games like TOTK and whatever next 3D Mario game comes out deserve to have better graphical fidelity than what the current switch can put out. I stopped playing TOTK because I just kept getting framerate drops.

Please give the Switch 2 more powerful internals!

And she gave that excuse as if babies don’t fling themselves all over the place, where looking away for one second could mean they fall off a table or slip underwater.

What absolutely awful negligence.

Is like twice a week I see that sentiment on here. What’s OP complaining about? Their mirror?

Gonna sideload cocaine while I mainline heroin.

And there’s never been a worse time to be making them.

The industry keeps consolidating and there were a ton of layoffs, despite great profits.

This year was great, but sad.

It’s better than arguing with the customer.

Simple explanations like “we felt we were under X constraints” or “our engine didn’t handle the loading times as well as we had hoped” would be just fine.

Instead, they just seem to be telling the players they’re wrong for disagreeing with many of the design decisions made

It’s not going to matter to the voters. They can’t see part their TVs.

Seriously, Adobe is up there for having some of the most anti-consumer product policies ever.

They’re a shit company that deserves to die.

And if you’re down on a planet you can, but there is no magic to be found because it’s all procedurally generated emptiness between copy-pasted points of interest.

I think the perfect example of this are the caves that show up sometimes.

First time I found one, I thought “neat, I wonder what’s in there.” So I go exploring and find out that… nothing. Nothing is in there. It’s just an empty cave. So I find a second one, hoping that was a fluke and again… nothing.

The procedurally generated content is severely lacking in a reason for even existing.Nothing is worth exploring in Starfield because there’s just nothing there.

Oh gross. Yeah, that’s not okay.

Thanks for the clarification

So what’s the solution to this? Publicly funding journalism nearly no-strings attached so that they have guaranteed income and can better focus on actual news?

But then that creates a conflict in interest when the story involves the funder.

Why is someone using Outlook to sync a different email address?

Why not keep the apps separate? Or use the Mail app built into Windows?

Seriously, someone explain the use case here because I don’t understand. If you’re using an outlook account, MS already has all that stuff. And if you don’t have an Outlook account, why are you using Outlook?

I’ve noticed here in the US that all restaurants have been getting more expensive yet worse in quality. You can get a good anything anymore without paying insane prices.

And even for typically expensive prices, you get fairly mediocre food.

Well, I wish I had known about devdocs sooner. Thank you!

How do you learn programming on paper to be sufficiently effective when translating the skills to the computer?

I get that it’s the same stuff, but there are very useful tools and workflows, in addition to knowing what you’re doing wrong that you can’t learn on paper.

Or am I misinterpreting what you’re saying; that you just didn’t look for resources online to cut out distractions, but programmed like normal?

I see so many people excusing Bethesda’s poor design choices and lack of content by saying mods will fix them.

That may be true, but the publisher making hundreds of millions shouldn’t be offloading their work onto the free labor of the community.

Never realized I’d share so much in common with it.

Pretty sure that was Abraham Lincoln

Why wouldn’t 8bitdo buy a license? There are one 3 gaming consoles, so being 3rd really makes no difference. And MS/Xbox still has a huge impact on the gaming industry.

I’m not defending the walled-garden decision, but the Xbox market is not small and this is unlikely to prevent controller manufacturers from supplying controllers to Xbox customers.

It annoys me to no end when an article talks about images or a video and doesn’t post the images or video.

You have to go to Cuckr for that.

Like Tinder for married couples.

If Microsoft and Sony get into an acquisition war, Microsoft will beat Sony out each and every time.

Microsoft just has WAY more cash, they’re a much bigger company. Sony can’t afford to do that.

Man, it’s a real sign of living the privileged, easy life when someone thinks this way.

Those people try to revolt and they die. They don’t revolt and still die. What kind of choice is that?

Alphabet has half the market cap of Microsoft. Microsoft is so unbelievably big, it’s not even funny.

Microsoft would be the one buying all three of Alphabet, Bytedance, and Disney and barely scoff at it.

I would think just email. Who uses email for anything other than formal communication anymore where it would be inappropriate to use emoji reactions?

Reactions are fine for casual messaging, but email just isn’t that kind of social platform.

While I agree that we very much need to take care of domestic issues, it’s more complicated than that. It’s in the global best interest for us to help Ukraine steamroll Russia. We’re getting a bargain that way, rather than becoming directly involved in a conflict.

The AAA bubble burst a while ago. Complete AAA games rarely release anymore because studios keep trying to push the boundary on scope and size instead of focusing on quality.

The limited size of indie games means they’ll always have the capability to ship complete. They don’t always because the teams are much smaller and less experienced, but I’ve always found more enjoyment out of a passionate indie game than a corporatized AAA.

Thank fuck. My wife and I have two mortgages currently because I’m transitioning out of the military and these fuckwits were going to cause us problems.

Glad they can do the bare minimum of their jobs.

I’ve always thought it was weird that there hasn’t been a Hunger Games video game. Not to play out the teen movie storyline, but as the Battle Royale part.

Imagine creating a character using typical RPG elements (strength, endurance, speed, crafting, survival, etc.) with a limited number of points, the same number of points as everyone else. Then you’re placed inside different large arenas that have environmental hazards for a Battle Royale survival that could last up to 30 minutes per game if you’re good enough to make it to the end.

You have to survive against random encounters just like the gamemasters use in the books, dangerous animals, and you can get sponsorship drops like the COD kill streak rewards (healing items, tools, weapons). You could even make it through by not killing anyone if you’re good enough at surviving the environment, but you’d better hope you don’t end up in a fight.

I just think a game like that would be sick.

Because it’s still a mobile game and there’s no way it’s a great experience trying to play it on such a small screen.

I honestly don’t understand the smartphone gaming fad because of the screen size issue. Who actually plays games like this on their phone that wouldn’t rather buy a dedicated steam deck or other device?

“Your hands look weird in all your photos, what’s up with that?”

“…I have a condition.”

If only the Jan 6 protestors had rallied around a better cause, I’d bet a lot of people would have supported that.

Like had they gone to protest the fact that Congress is a bunch of corporate-bought, lazy, unproductive people who seize as much control for as long as possible, we might have gotten some real change.

But instead, they thought the election was fake and supported the worst president we’ve ever had. They basically wanted to install an authoritarian, which is worse than what we have now.
