Well, good thing we didn’t silo off a bunch of important game knowledge in individual discords instead of forums or wikis or gamefaqs for some reason

cheap third party controllers are now so good that they can easily match, if not surpass, first party options

don't mind me i'm just yelling into the void about my personal experiences with this

logically speaking i know the thread is correct

i am glad you have many people agreeing with you who will likely teach the newbies because 10 years of being the designated unwilling teacher for every fg under the sun in the local group made me want to put a gun to my head

not everyone wants to be an ambassador for the games they play

i always thought of the riot brand name as a debuff, i suppose league has a huge install base but that didn't exactly save some of their other projects

fun fact, recent hit release Expedition 33 contains a softlock that is extremely easy to encounter via casual playthrough that was patched in quite some time after release

anyone who waited is likely getting hit with the kind of issue that would've been fixed in a day 1 patch, somehow

my conclusion from current events is that I think it's time to start giving people actual shit for continuing to use Twitter lol. at this point if you're still there I actively think less of you, it is explicitly and proudly for right wingers, what the fuck are you doing man, get off.

This doesn't hold up after people labbed out the Saryuja lines, but before that? Oh man, these fellas are NOT playing Yu-Gi-Oh

I remember seeing these release bit by bit and just wondering "So which one of these is going to get Kaiser Colosseum banned?"

I think it was around Kozmo that it finally did, but it'd already annoyed people since Bujin by then

like bro you're doing music for the funny arabian sonic game for the wii, can you maybe chill??

first of all yes, but also whenever someone brings up drummer skill i'm always reminded that sonic and the secret rings randomly employs Soul Toul on the drums and he goes absolutely berserk

I ask it to do the only task it is notably designed for (scrape the internet) and even then it fails over half the time

Maintaining a spreadsheet of spare Steam keys and asking it to fetch the URLs for a list of games is a coin flip every time. How??? This is the one thing you do by design

fine, have a different take, i think the only way the technology can even approach a worthwhile future is to relentlessly hate its current iteration out of existence, the same way self driving cars are bottlenecked by elon not being publicly executed and tesla imploding

china tech might be ok

the argument you make assumes that all content in the datasets is obtained through legal means, which is blatantly false. hence the stance of both art having value and AI being a destructive parrot, it can reproduce works it doesn't even have the rights to, pushing those stolen from out of the space

News headline reading "A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It"

absurd overall take. the art has value and the slop machine is only profiting from that art through piracy and skirting any amount of licensing fees.

they're also profiting from child porn. oops! surely this would never come back to bite anyone who uses th- oh

not so relevant for bamco and fromsoft's series that is the real life equivalent of an infinite money exploit but especially for indies without a preexisting audience it's really important to help people find your stuff, don't take that shit for granted unless you enjoy your audience of 3 people

see it's funny because I like DQ and Zelda and I generally do not like Dark Souls so if someone described it to me like that I'd walk away very disappointed

also re: previous post, that only works if all recommendations happen organically between people but storefronts exist and need categories

that doesn't mean it's not a JRPG at all because clearly there are influences, but as a simple descriptor for the game it is not sufficient and must be supplemented with other descriptors to make sense

the curse with JRPGs as a genre at all is that it barely suffices as a descriptor for JRPGs

i do kinda think that undermines the most useful facet of the existence of genres in the modern day, which is to make sure that people who like things can more easily find other things that will suit their tastes

i don't think many people call DS a JRPG because the ARPG descriptor is right there

just casually perusing this thread and all it has taught me is that genres are useless when used like this

if you described dark souls as simply a jrpg you'd be less accurate than the dork who walks by and goes "kingdom hearts but berserk", even if they deserve a push down a flight of stairs

no? I hope not??

Heard my mother say she voted for one of them and said "but she's so eloquent"

Told her that Nazis can be eloquent too but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be punched in the face

But just goes to show old white folks are easily influenced

FvD +4 is an absolute travesty. they should be at 0 and chased out of the country ideally

if anything about your speedgame's rules impedes you from going to a friend's house, taking a copy of the game off the shelf, putting it into the console, and doing your run, then it is a bad speedgame rule

the gamecenter cx episode on derby stallion is the greatest of all time honestly

I'm actually pretty flexible on game prices, I think what's more important is that you identify your core audience and put a price on the game that makes those exact people go "yes, I will pay that amount"

I think there's a sweet spot for this idea and it is Hi-Fi Rush

The most confusing part to me is always the wording that implies that these companies are owed your money. They are not?? There are a bazillion competing forms of entertainment?? They could've upped the prices ages ago, they didn't for the longest time because it'd be dumb, hell it's a dumb move now

Followup to that one even, as a thought experiment you could argue that the cost of games should go down to compete with how the entertainment landscape has changed, since it now also includes free to play games and... well, social media. Logging on to laugh at people costs nothing.
