While it's true you can't fully trust player opinions on balance for this reason, devs in charge of game tuning must also realize that data lies too.
Balance isnt real. Only the perception of balance is. It's all vibes. Balance isnt a viable OR desirable goal. You want fun, variety, and retention.
Just need a clean, fresh data source to keg stand into whatever AI feeds on it.
Silly that's where the code comes from!
Of course it's no AI. The beast requires new content to feast upon.
the game awards selected jury counts for 90% of the vote (yes, community votes only matter for 10%), that means 2XKO is gonna win, and SNK is gonna lose to a early access game twice now and thats a bit frustrating.
2xko is cool! but nominate it when its actually out
People out here just saying stuff. Kojima has always been interested in a combination of movie and games medium.
Touching grass and enjoying it? We all old now.

The Japan-only Cowboy Bebop game for PS2 has just been fan translated by SONICMAN69.
The absolute best way to learn here imo is when you get that brutal beat down, friend and straight up ask them about it. Lot of people love their main character and can tell you what makes them lose.
The disgraced politician to right wing pipeline is a trap door straight down.
I refuse to ever return to Tarkov because they never do anything about cheaters. At least they are trying something. Time will tell if it's effective, but I'm about ready to submit a blood sample if it breaks the hold cheating has on the online space.
We're excited and proud to announce that Digital Foundry is now fully independent, having parted ways amicably with IGN. In this DF Direct Special, we share our thoughts and aspirations for the future of the channel: youtu.be/tl7bIJ2yu4I
You are right, and I don't disagree. Bad point on my side.
Thinking about it more - Having proper policy vs these targeted campaigns which we would both agree are good strategy when telling companies to stop assisting war, but this same strat is also being used against Visa/MC right now to effect.
I think it's also worth noting that Microsoft didn't even ask me why I was cancelling, just immediately cancelled. I feel like they might not even know why people are cancelling?
I can't help but feel that Microsoft would drop their entire gaming division before they dropped any Government contracts to anyone when Azure is top billing.
That's not to say I haven't done my part, in cancelling gamepass. Why can't we organize voting with the same furor?
@charalanahzard.bsky.social Just listening to Play, Watch, Listen and you were talking about rom hacks, etc and I had to share this clip of playing SMZ3, or Super Metroid and Zelda Randomizer. I walk out the door in Metroid and end up in a space in Zelda. Random items between games!
I don't disagree, mostly. I was just providing one of many reasons why I'm not surprised to see this in TX. The Stars should be broken away from youth hockey, but I do not forsee that happening. Extremely frustrating and will likely kill hockey in the state for short turn benefit to the stars.
Who knows, nobody can see their books. All I can read here is the exploitation, and I suspect they are doing it here because nobody can tell them 'No'.
Just one example.
Shareholder Rights (Limitations): In Texas, unlike in some states like Delaware, regulations surrounding shareholder access to corporate books and records are more restrictive. This provides corporations with more protection from extensive investigations or "fishing expeditions" by shareholders.
Bad people exist everywhere. They do business in places that don't regulate their exploitation. It's like the whole allure of Texas.
The NHL's Dallas Stars bought up all the ice rinks in the Dallas metro area, in several cases got taxpayer money to build the rinks, and now control ice time for youth hockey, jacking up club fees and forcing leagues to play by their rules. Wild story.
That may be true, but there's good reasons they are operating in TX and not doing this back home.

Crossposting here but the first of our reveals for the Punk Workshop booth at EVO was yesterday! These will go fast judging by initial reception so if you're looking to get one, please don't wait when the event starts 😭
This is how I got $250 off my ev charger install. I'm calling it my annoyance tax.
"It's an unplayable and chaotic feature"
I believe this is just describing children. 😆
