i know it’s not the important part of your comment, but I must point out that indies will be fine because indies do not have publishing deals. If your studio is beholden to a publisher, then you are by definition not independent.

its only the big publishers that are going to crash, so nothing of value will be lost.

fedora kinda sucks for people new to linux. I’ve used it a few times in the past and hated it each time.

Finally actually made the switch to linux permanently a couple years ago with mint and it’s a much nicer experience overall.

yeah, i know. Point is that Nintendo can do whatever they want with the flimsyest excuse.

Nintendo was able to sue palworld using a patent that didn’t exist before palworlds release. It’s not right, but they can do whatever they want regardless of what the law says.

if this happens to me I just won’t watch youtube anymore. It’s mostly garbage content anyway.

I wish I knew that 20 years ago.

sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. Different updates will break different things for different machines. Some people are blessed by Bill Gates himself, and never have to re-fix their shit. Others are cursed and have to fix random shit unrelated to the update every fucking update.

I can’t prove it, but I think microsoft does this on purpose so that some people will enthusiastically share their positive experiences with windows while everyone else gets shat on.

different people like different things, sounds like your friends like rougish games.

I enjoyed bastion, it was probably my favorite game of its year. I don’t care enough about hades to even give it the time of day, no matter how hot they made zagreus. With few exceptions, I don’t really like rougish games. The few that I do like I’d rather they be long form rpgs so that I can have a build long enough to enjoy it for a while.

That said, studios should be allowed to make the games they want to make. Forcing them to do art against their will results in bad art.

lots of projects get started but are shelved or killed without ever being announced, for all kinds of different reasons as well.

On the one hand, fuck GW, their plastic is too damn expensive for what it is.

On the other hand, respect for paying out profits to the employees. Mad respect, 100%. Wish more companies did that.

Imma try to add something that hasn’t been mentioned in the top comments.

Epic’s refund policy is shit, comparable to nintendo. I buy a game, it doesn’t work, I don’t want to waste my time trying to figure out why, so I ask for refund, Epic said no. I’ve never had this problem at a physical retailer, and I’ve never had this problem with Steam.

Nobody has been able to explain to me how this new game has fucking anything to do with Marathon.

if wasting a byte or seven matters to you, then then you need to be working in a lower level language.

Considering how many companies are forcing into their TOSs forced arbitration and waving the right to class action lawsuit, of course this kind of shit was going to happen.

so, custom tracks and racers when?

I do have a personal website, but i’m using github to host it. My current works makes heavy use of generative ai, so I haven’t shared it around lemmy due to overwhelming negative opinion regarding ai content.

btw, yours is super cool.

edit: the text on the tab is ANIMATED

Neocities? what even is…

Oh.

Such style. Such creativity. Personality in design! It’s like looking back into a lost age from when things were allowed to be fun. None of this ‘advertiser safe minimalism’.

This makes my brain do the happy chemicals.

Trying to comment in this thread and it tells me “Toastify is awesome”? wth?

edit: nevermind? whatever borked seems to have fixed itself? I don’t know.

This is the kind of shit that makes me want to pirate nintendo’s games purely for the principle of the matter.

I have several reasons for not buying nintendo’s games, from their piss-poor customer service, to threatening content creators with litigation, to actually litigating indie competitors, to cease-and-desisting fanmade mods and games, and generally treating their most dedicated fans like shit.

If it were possible to legally buy nintendo games and directly download them to my pc to play on whatever emulator I wanted, even if nintendo offered zero support for it, that might be enough to convince me to be a paying customer again. But no, nintendo has to do shit like this instead. fuck nintendo.

EDIT: I’d like to add on to the part about the cease and desisting of fanmade things, Nintendo likes to do that when they’re planning on announcing their own game that these fan projects would be competition for. Project M was killed shortly before Ultimate’s announcement. AM2R was killed shortly before nintendo’s own Metroid 2 remake was announced. Pokemon Uranium was killed shortly before, well, one of the pokemon games was announced, I couldn’t tell you which one since I stopped caring after gen 3. I’m sure there’s more that I don’t remember off the top of my head.
