It was just titled “star wars” back then though

Double fine and compulsion are no longer part of Xbox and double fine and compulsion will retain the IP of anything they made while at xbox

Well there’s different groups of folks. There’s a group who aren’t going to tolerate this and won’t give them another cent, and another group who will look past it until it destroys their favourite series completely, and I guess another, enormous group who are entirely oblivious to any of the goings on behind the scenes and just buy game play game

Oh you’re gross gross. I see. Pity cause you’re otherwise a quality leftie. I won’t be talking to you anymore, but have a wonderful life and I hope you’ll reconsider your stance on this issue!

Trees don’t exist “for” us. Animals don’t exist “for” us. We are a cosmic accident. The fact that they make our lives easier in a great variety of ways is incidental.

Trees, like all plants, exist as a similar cosmic accident and their “purpose” is to continue their spread and growth.

I’m not going to stop using wood any time soon, but the way you’re trying to paint humans as like, the one true species or some shit, is fucking gross

Feels weird as hell how everyone is replying to your “I know its not much but I’m proud of it!!” post by showing how much more they’ve done than you

Jvc made vhs but go off

Blu-Ray is pertinent here because it is a Sony product

But they could have mentioned other formats too - would it have made the argument any better? Absolutely not, but sure, go ahead and yell at clouds

Absolutely love the concept. Will you eventually release builds on f-droid or some other source?

Oh I see you’re being pedantic about the word digital

You perhaps need to read the post again

When were billionaires literally put against the wall and shot?

“Lol,” said toad. “Lmao even”

Something like Norway’s system is ideal imo

That thread was so ew

I’ll freely own the fact that I’m a western, white, woman and can never fully understand the cultural and greater context surrounding the choice as to why a Muslim woman, or a woman of any religion, creed, race, upbringing, etc would desire to wear a piece of clothing that would to me, with my cultural and greater context, be a symbol of my oppression.

The cool part is that I don’t have to understand why she would make such a choice, to support her right to make such a choice.

If you want to support womens rights, you can’t go around trying to restrict us. If you are concerned that women who are making these choices are doing so under indoctrination, coercion, etc, then instead channel your energy into making sure they, and all women, have safe places and resources to address those things.

I don’t think its fair to put the blame on stupid people when you have the best minds of the modern age finely tuning advertising and visual effects and psychological trickery to entice people into specific, addictive, behaviours

The only reason casinos try hard to keep people out is because of laws - there are no where near the same kinds of regulations about lootboxes

Anyway - we broadly agree with eachother and I think we both made our point :P

Making the game free was part of the model of the loot boxes - people are less likely to get invested in your moneymaker if they have to pay for entry to the casino

But yes. Despite being in many ways the first iteration of what cosmetic loot boxes are nowadays, they weren’t the most predatory about it

They effectively created the modern videogame lootbox, yes. However they haven’t been caught with their pants down specifically targeting children with them, unlike Epic.

Still, fuck valve for lootboxes

Their next engine has AI baked into its very core!

Why are people still using the r-slur in 2026 sigh
