...... What? No, if you need to edit poor wording you add a note establishing that the editor missed a section of poor wording, and that section has been revised.

You want to do stealth edits? We call those first drafts, and they arent published. Want to hide your edit history? Edit before you post.

Its crazy to me that a ban from the community page removes your contributed mods too.

Guess it must be pretty bad if your mod creators, the ones making you free content to keep your players around, are getting banned for being pro boycott.

Wonderful. Now we have two wars that just happen to rile up needless political grandstanding for the uninvolved to fight over, so we wont have to think about the millions of innocents killed in the fighting.

They are referring to the steam forums, and in one of their own comments in said forum they say that theyre required by steam to have those forums, in response to someone asking why they dont shutter the whole thing if they cant handle responding to bug fixes and the like.

So its not actually a privilege, its a requirement to sell the game.

And doubled down hard, since the boycott bans are killing off their more popular mod creators.

You want to challenge the study results? Then you gotta go record wild gator sex statistics.

They consistently put out well written, story driven, compelling narrative games. Unless they need the money to stay open, they can take their time doing what they like.

Ad blockers work fine, what do you mean? Youtube lost, their next big idea wont even try kicking in until next year.

Thats hilarious. Does a vpn get around this? Because if so, it wont stop botting

The last of us got turned into a tv show. A very successful tv show. That stayed mostly canon to the game.

Thats a damn successful and well written video game.

It was really cool to see the awards do an homage to big gaming trends by doing an any% speedrun of the actual awards in between the ad breaks

Or, like, half of the BDSM community who enjoy when this is roleplayed, like what everyone watching these videos thought it was.

Unless you think anyone who plays video games with guns only find it fun cause theyre murderers?

I think they like him cause he is a good actor, and usually people like watching good actors in good shows

Lots of people only experience empathy for other people when they are directly involved or confronted with those people.

Like all those stories of homophobes who reform after learning a loved one is gay. They need their nose shoved in it before they could even picture someone elses viewpoint, but if you do that then they do empathize.

A lot of these games are working off of an assumed learned collective memory.

Think of movies, and their tropes. How do you understand that when a movie cuts to black for a second, and then suddenly shows a new location, that we did not just teleport? That the black cut indicates the end of a scene, and the start of a new one?

Think of how many games assume you know which button pauses, which opens the menu, which buttons move the character and which ones make you jump. Now, add another layer of controls. And another.

BG3 is also working with an assumed collective memory from DnD. Assuming you already learned about class vs race, and cantrips vs lvl spells, and turn order, etc.

It sucks when you miss large games that establish these things, but its also how art forms evolve. Games just dont yet have a way to easily re-teach them.

Its funny how this headline keeps coming up every couple of weeks with a smaller number each time.

I dont know how they generate these evaluations, and honestly I dont even trust they are accurate. Or care, my life is fully uneffected by the success or failure of that site.

But it is always funny to read the new nearly identical headline with the number shifted down by 1-4 billion from last time.

Not that I dont support that, because I like miles more than parker, but good fucking luck

The reason you often cannot find smaller wikis is because this site killed them off.

That we allow religion to hold such massive sway is such a point of shame for our species, and out countries.

If you can fix it post-launch, you should probably launch it post-launch too.

Seriously sick of the bugged out release trend. Just finish the game

Its not actually good, and many actually good art programs far outshine it.

So its lost what made it unique, by being comedically bad, and become the death knell of most things in a capital focused system; mundane.

The best time to start dwarf fortress was 6 years ago.

The second best time is in a few weeks, I dunno, Im just kinda busy this weekend but Ill probably have free time after the holidays, surely.

thats like asking for someones fan fiction to be published under the original authors name so you can read it in the same folder on your kindle.

Its not gonna happen, for about 10 different reasons.

Its 4chan slang for jews

You had us in the first half, but anyone who thinks theres any part of meta thats trustworthy is either paid off or an idiot. Sorry bud, but thats fresh horseshit flavor thats rinsing the CA taste from your mouth.

Facebook isnt even actually dead yet, youre 4-6 decades too early to even entertain the thought that meta is safe to conditionally trust.

People arent kidding when they tell stories and tales of the warrior king who won his kingdom and squandered it from the throne.

Its a common myth premise for a reason

And if you do, you make the edit and add your edit note.

The turn coat nature of the US response to gaza shows that US politicians cannot be trusted when they say they believe in or support human rights.

Its crushing to see that saving ukraine from invasion was only for quick political gain, and that a nation who will not shut the fuck up about moral superiority lacks the spine or nuts to save lives when its even passingly inconvenient.

How is referring to the eastern part of a non european continent eurocentric? I dont get it

Its like saying western brazil. Youre taking asia, and looking at its eastern half.

The scam was likely on the investors who funded the game for 5 years.

It was only sold, presumably, so they couldnt be taken to court for failing to deliver. Technically they did publish. It was just a flop

Pirates who obtain games they did not intend to purchase become more likely to either buy that game later on, or buy one of its successors later on.

Pirates also tend to enjoy the games they pirate, and arent often quiet about it. So a pirate is still usually giving free word-of-mouth advertising to non pirates.

...... But it is, and they offer for people to pay them in order to function as such.

The FDA is not in the constitution.

It explicitly has authority from the government to regulate things.

A panel of judges assigned in duty by the constitution is not given its authority from the same body as the FDA.

If you do not understand why youre comparing apples and lemons, you should leave the conversations to the adults.

Damn, I finally found it. The one post thats convinced me linux isnt worth having to deal with its userbase.
