Aaaaand there it is, why they delisted the old games, they want us to buy the new version instead!

Gaben isn't going to last forever. But honestly the only other good games storefront is GoG. I'll continue using Steam for as long as it's still good.

I swear at this point they do this shit on purpose. Poorly implement vehicle models into the game, their suffering-oriented game design makes people mad enough to want the vehicles better represented, but they don't accept any other "secondary sources" so people resort to leaking classified documents.... It's too crazy not to think it's on purpose.

Open a ticket with support where an actual human will read it. The automated refund tool will always deny it.

Having Lemmy alts is not a bad thing. Using them to circumvent bans very much is, tho.

I have a pretty close Polish friend, and honestly most of waht I hear implies that Poland never was anything close to "based". Their government is on a whole new level of stupidity and cringe that other countries can only dream of. Always expect them to do the opposite of what is reasonable.

Does DOOM count? It's been officially open sourced recently, even though it was already treated as such for decades.Either way, I can't stop playing it, there's 30 years of user created content to go through.

This is how we know they really nailed it on AC6, this is exactly the experience. Well, whenever I didn't say FUCK IT, and equipped dual Zimmermans and the stun nail launcher.

FUCKING STOP. Pieces of shit gambled with several studios to get themselves bought and it blew in their faces ruining several of said studios losing many many people their jobs.

Until Google realizes normal.people would rather use this than take part in their AI search, and block usage of it outside of businesses.

Very much so! They add a ton of content to an already pretty content-rich game, and after you have them, you'll barely notice they weren't part of the base game before, except maybe the Castlevania one because of the obvious difference in theme. Still, lots of quality content that adds tons of variety to your runs!

Commendable intentions, but I don't think we can make a noticeable dent in... Best Buy, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and the US fucking Army. Sorry guys.

They lost the deal for it, after how badly received the end of GoT was. Then again, the new SW trilogy managed to be shit entirely without their help.

No no no no stop talking about it, quick before the Nintendo lawyers show up!!

Add ActiBlizz and Epic for me.

Can we go back to when every technology was just weaponized instead? No? This is somehow worse.

I used to think I'd move if old.reddit died, but I migrated here much sooner when the whole API debacle happened, and I don't know if many people who still care are still in there.

I play Assetto Corsa. I have downloaded 300GB worth of cars, and I'll do it again.

As an AC veteran greatly enjoying the new game after many years waiting, I feel vindicated.

And don't worry about sucking at this game! Even I had to spend 6 hours fighting Balteus to finally defeat it. Stick with the game, try different builds until something works for you.

Literally never heard of it. Also, yeah, when I see Paradox I can only think of their terrible DLC practices, which turn me away from most of their games.... except the ones made by Harebrained Schemes, Battletech was great. Guess there won't be a sequel.

That they put in, to force people to buy the MTX instead of modding the game.

I'm commenting on this kbin post from Lemmy. I also have a kbin account. We can make them all grow.

The golden days of Ultimate-Guitar uaer submitted tabs and pirated Guitar Pro 5 (which my guitar teacher gave to me on a burned CD) Good times.

Both, it's both.

Yo this article was fire. I love the way they write. And yeah I pretty much agree with everything. Cars are just getting bigger, uglier, and most importantly, more expensive and less reliable in the long term. Only made for short term profits and not for you to actually use for many years.

Ah yes we can't have an NCD community without posting Flight Highschool. It is tradition!

Why, it was THEIR idea in the first place.

I'd love a similar post with music production workspace setup tips.

Observing supernovas is always cool, being able to see it from multiple angles because of gravitational lensing is even cooler.

Damn, that was actually really good. I'm not as old as the writer here, but I did experience a lot of what they describe. And it's almost funny, that they perfectly describe, again, what's going on with Reddit and us coming here to places like this, even before it happened. Because it has happened before, and it will continue to happen again.

Yeah, and it sucks because of that. The amount of misinformation, propaganda and fake news that has been circulated through Whatsapp on the previous 4 years was astounding and almost ruined the country permanently.

Motherfucker! I just checked my profile, and they DID restore the posts I edited+deleted with PowerDeleteSuite. Thankfully it's just the posts from the past week or so, I had deleted my entire 8 year history before that, and that stayed deleted. I'm assuming they monitored other API access calls past the days where the blackout started to restore those.

I've read this article some time this week, don't remember in what instance it was posted now. But it really is excellent and describes what is happening to Reddit before it happened. It's a long read but I encourage it!

Shit, eMule still exists? The only thing I remember about using it centuries ago, was the high chance of downloading viruses, and getting shitty rips of single music tracks.

Don't. Use your own words or don't even respond to the thread.

It's not not called a "marketing black hole" for nothing. Even hotly awaited games come out on EGS and just vanish into obscurity until they're on other storefronts.

Speaking of the state of piracy, how is the state of piracy on Linux? I usually only do that stuff on Windows, I've never tried installing Repacks and such on my Linux machines.

I feel like I'm about to get into these android based emulators. Which of the Retroid's do you reckon I should go for? This new 2S seems really nice. I want mostly to play arcade games, PS1 and Saturn games. PS2 and Dreamcast would be a nice bonus.

Ah, so just like any other F1 sponsor then. Honestly can't wait to see them suddenly disappear without actually playing those sponsorship deals because it was a money laundering scheme 🤣

While not necessarily retro, I'd add that the modernly available Shadowrun games are VERY good, although they're more cyberpunk fantasy than reaaaaally urban fantasy.
