Use pipepipe wooooooo

If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing

The best tutorials are ones that are fun to play both on your first time and subsequent playthroughs

Something like portal, hollow knight or hades

Okay, but slowing everybody down by five seconds doesn’t smooth anything at all. It just shifts the curve five seconds to the right

I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds

I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It’s an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution

Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don’t make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there’s a money sink somewhere

Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn’t a good sign

They’ll do anything but make a persona 6

I was expecting to disagree with the list at some point, but I’m finding it increasingly hard to find a reason to

This game was one of the games that defined my childhood. I was so surprised when I found out it was getting a sequel, let alone that sequel actually being good

I am once again recommending freetube

a deep dive

20 minutes long

Not very deep then huh

I just download my songs using freetube, load then onto my phone, and use a FOSS music player to make my playlists. That way, even when I drive out into areas with spotty connections I get my tunes coming through

Subnautica and Hollow Knight spring to mind

I feel like you shouldn’t release a date if the game isn’t in ready for release. After releasing the date, all that should come is polish and minor bug fixing

I second this. I’ve played it with three mates now and they all loved it

Make a big “uh oh” hole

I agree they’re partially at fault, but to deny the part the company played by creating artificial FOMO, sales, and gates is barbaric to say the least

It needs more regulation, I agree. Particularly for premium currencies (which thankfully the EU seems to be doing something about)

I had an argument with a guy who was in a shared friend’s discord server about this. He was adamant that, if somebody spent too much money on a game, then it was all their fault. Despite me going over several (clearly manipulative) tactics, all he said was that people who fell for these must be stupid and that they deserved it

Yeah later on he was kicked because of other (Similarly dickish) reasons
