My partners dad loves to collect pins when he travels.

While on the trip, he keeps them in his hat. The hat amasses pins over the course of the trip

When he gets home, he has a shadow box picture frame with foam in it that he sticks them in

I continue to be a little perplexed by views like this. If the game is $15 on steam, why is $10 on mobile viewed as expensive?

I understand that mobile games typically are cheaper or freemium, but I feel mobile games would be higher quality overall if people actually wanted to spend money on them

Worth noting Google play store is having issues processing payments. So if you are unable to purchase it, this is why

I mean that's fine. Like you said you can continue to use your version that uses the steam files, that's the version you paid for. But the game sold on another store is cheaper than the other. I don't think that makes the game too expensive

Edit:

Also as far as I can tell from this, save transfer is supported on the side loaded version https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker

Yeah this looked dope. I legit thought this was death stranding 2 at first. Until they started swinging a weapon lol. Definitely keeping my eye on this one

The dread in my stomach I get from reading shit like this is too much to stand at times. I feel so much horror and doom over this and how much worse it could get. I am ok for now in WA state but like for how long.

Idk y'all. I consider myself quite left. I don't like Democrats. I hate their positions in Gaza. A part of me understands not wanting to support them over this. But another part of me questions how you can just look at this. This and the horrific stuff happening after abortion bans and not see how dire this shit is. I fear for my life if trump wins. This shit is only the beginning. Panic attacks whenever I see this shit and know how much worse it'll be if trump wins and project 2025 is allowed to happen.

Idk what I'll do if he wins. I feel so damn hopeless and afraid

breathes in

Hollow knight silk song will happen I am not on copium I believe it is real I will pop off so hard when the date is announced and when it comes out I love hornet maybe you could tell by my pfp you could say I am a little excited for the game and that I love the original and I'm so excited and ahhhHHhhhhhhhHHhhhhhhhhhhhh

SHAW

:3

I don't personally feel rdr2 was padded, but it was really damn long lol. I loved it but am not complaining at the idea of this being shorter

Awwww you're too kind. Also W take for your review in this thread as well 🙏

Oh that's an awesome sticker. Check out my cute hornet plush :)

Yooooo true!!!

I would just like to throw my voice out there as a mod on the instance.

I truly love beehaw, and will likely stay if this move happened. Beehaw was an amazing place to find after everything happened with reddit. And I love participating here and really like the community I've found here

All that being said. I would be extremely saddened and disappointed if beehaw decided to leave the fediverse. I am fully aware of how some off instance users can behave. It is definitely a problem, especially in some more vulnerable communities. However I also feel like the ability to federate has brought some life to the platform that would be sorely missed.

I would very much hope a white list would be considered before leaving the fediverse entirely.

Ultimately, I know this is not my project. And I have no decision making powers, but I think lemmy would be a much worse place without beehaw. I hope this decision does not come to pass, personally

I mean, the EEOC is literally suing them. Not sure what part you don't believe. If you don't believe that stuff actually happened there, did you read to the end of the article? It's not the first time they've been accused of this

I mean personally I wouldn't want to game like that on my phone, as it will almost certainly kill the battery and I need my phone for.... well phone things.

But I don't really see why it being $60 is at all weird. It's a $60 AAA game everywhere else too. Same game as it is there.

Edit: and it also unlocks the game on m1 or newer iPads and macOS devices... really not seeing why this is so egregious. It's $60 on steam too

Lol I was just about to post this. Yeah this is a decision for sure. Wouldn't be surprised if this causes another big spike in Lemmy usage

It's depressing how much progress has seemingly fallen apart before my eyes. I know some things are generally better than the have been. But these attacks are exhausting

Beehaw has already taken the stance to defederate from threads

While I agree having more options is always a better thing, I really can't see body type A and B with pronouns choosing anything other than more inclusive, a good thing, and not something that deserves getting up in arms about.

I don't really see how it could be seen as not more inclusive. Sure it's not more inclusive than having full blown sliders that let you change every bit of a character's body, but it's adding more pronouns and not forcing those pronouns on a certain body type. If we look at number of options, it is more than the previous "male and female" options. Thus including a broader set of people

I'm not a massive IGN hater but yikes. This is consolidation I don't want to see.... I like Eurogamer a lot, I hope they don't change much

Not sure which post you're talking about, but in general, yeah. Any kind of excusing of transphobia is 100% not tolerated here. I'm not a mod of this particular community, but please use the report button if you see anything like this happening.

Oh wow it's so much better. Really hope more wikis follow suit

I agree it shouldn't be the ESA's responsibility. However as it says in the article:

In 2023, the Video Game History Foundation revealed 87 percent of games released pre-2010 were currently not preserved in any capacity. Attempts previously made by the Library of Congress were halted by the ESA, which said it'd rely on publishers to take care of those efforts themselves.

So the ESA have made themselves the problem by halting such attempts

never targeted by harassment

Sweet Baby Inc found themselves at the center of attention at kiwi farms, a website known for harassment and driving people to suicide. I find it very far fetched to believe they received no harassment.

Ubisoft being in bed with SBI is also not a lie

Unless I totally missed it, I see nowhere in this article that said they didn't work with SBI?

Everything I have seen points to Yasuke being a samurai. Lots of reading on it sourced in this reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1css0ye/comment/l4bghbu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

How is the game disrespectful to Japanese people?

There are so many outlandish claims in this comment with basically nothing backing it up

Respectfully, you are in a gaming forum, and starfield is one of the biggest games that has come out this year.

This comment contributes nothing to the topic the thread is about, besides getting a rise out of people.

Please think about this before commenting in the future. Thank you

Am I wrong or is this article 3 years old?

Except the devs who aren't in unions yet :(

But, yes I hope the industry continues towards a unionized future!

Sync was my favorite reddit app personally, its not the most similar to RIF though. As far as I understand RIF was more like old.reddit.com. Sync utilizes a lot of modern UI choices but the layout has always been really nice and has had amazing customization

Aw :(

Good for him though. He's been doing this for a long time. All the best for him <3

Ive had a large amount of people lately telling me about reaching across the aisle and "killing them with kindness" etc.

It's like why. These people have no interest in listening or engaging with us in a good faith way. We have to advocate for ourselves

Keep up the great work y'all 🫶

I got the date!!!!!!! Officially confirmed!!!!!! Bottom surgery October 18th!!!!! 🥳

This sucks so much. Why'd epic even want them in the first place. This feels like it was so avoidable

If you are comfortable tinkering a bit, I'd recommend checking out the Decky loader This tool adds the ability to get a lot of different plugins for your steam deck, from changing the home theme, to editing fan controls. There are a lot of tools here.

If you want to emulate, emudeck is another great tool. It'll set up a bunch of stuff for you and download emulators and set them up with good configurations for steam deck. I also believe if you do this, it will set up decky loader for you (don't quote me on that, it's been a while since I set it up)

For epic game store games, id recommend checking out Heroic launcher. It's an open source launcher that connects to gog and epic games accounts and lets you download and play games you own on those stores. Another option is The non steam launcher tool on GitHub. This allows downloading a bunch of various launchers, including epic.

As for Xbox game pass, the situation is less ideal. If you have gamepass ultimate, you can utilize Xbox cloud gaming to play your gamepass games. This article is by Microsoft to set up cloud gaming on your deck. If you want to play then natively, you'll need to dual boot your steam deck to have a windows partition. I have personally never done this, but I have friends who have, and it works well for them.

I know Todd is kind of a silly guy and people have mixed opinions on him. But it will be pretty weird to be in a gaming industry without him. Like him or not dude is a legend

Oh sick!! I was already on the $10/month plan. This is great news!!!

I think it's supposed to become just normal element when it gets feature parity with current element

Ofc! I always really enjoyed these back on reddit too. Opencritic makes it pretty easy to export this into a nice format for Lemmy (if you use the reddit option for copying)

On the one hand, there is definitely a part of me that thinks it's kinda neat that a f2p game with not super predatory monetization has gotten so much support for so many years. I'm well aware that around Lemmy people think any monetization is bad but tbh fortnite really doesn't do it that bad. It's all cosmetic, you can earn most of the currency by playing and advancing the battle pass. It's not the worst example out there. The game is very accessible and can be totally free if you want it to be

At the same time I have 0 interest in fortnite or any other live service game. I hate that live service games have a tendency to remove old content over time. Give me a live service game that's fun, doesn't have fomo, and isn't predatory with micro transactions.... I guess that's kinda helldivers rn which I am enjoying but we'll see how it shapes up as time goes on.

Overall, it's bleh news because it just reinforces companies continuing down this path of a model that encourages lost media and nickel and diming you for everything...

Lmao, thank you for the nsfw tag 🙏

I'm happy you decided to repost this.

An article that discusses and re-examines if a game you like is good is not a personal attack.

I encourage anyone who thinks it is indeed a good game (hey I also enjoyed it back in the day) take the time to read the article and at least respond to the content posted.

It is absolutely fine to disagree with what the article is saying. And it's fine if you don't want to read it. But I don't think it's bee-ing nice to comment that you refused to read an innocent article because you disagree with the headline and it's source. The article was posted to discuss its contents (as the body of the post pointed out). Not whether or not polygon is worthwhile.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all ya know?
