I was a big American cheese hater until I had land o’ lakes American cheese. Shits actually pretty good

They’re selling a single quest as dlc? I mean if you going to do dlc then at least make a full expansion.

Have you tried photopea? It doesn’t have everything Photoshop has but it’s been able to fit my needs

I’m in the camp of: I love the first game and was so happy they made a second one that I bought it even knowing all the potential issues. I’m still having a blast in the second one but the issues it has are very real and not defensible imo. I don’t recommend anyone buy it because of the issues but damn the gameplay really has its moments and is super awesome at times.

The Williams distro of choice is a single windows 7 machine with an excel spreadsheet containing all of the companies data

The infuriating thing about dragons dogma has been all the simple things they could fix but didn’t. The gameplay and atmosphere is amazing but then Capcom have to shoot themselves in the foot constantly. A friend of mine just lost 8 hours of gameplay because they accidentally clicked “Load from last inn” instead of “load from last save” which apparently overwrites your singular save file and removes any progress you made after resting at that inn.

The singular save file BS was a problem in the first game, why the fuck did they reimplement it in the second game!?

How difficult did you find the process? Over here we basically just go to the store and buy it after a simple background check. Even the background check seems to be avoidable if you do a private gun sale. At least this is how it was described to me by friends who have firearms, I don’t own any myself.

I don’t blame you at all. I’ve worked at a place that have sucked my life force away like yours. The saying “no good deed goes unpunished” comes to mind. Patching servers and fixing infrastructure issues gets rewarded with getting blamed for any server or app issue going forward and then fixing said issues on top of your current workload. Getting out of that hell hole was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Yeah if a company relies on some underpaid person from Macedonia to do an entire IT departments worth of crap then they deserve to get hacked lmao

Microsoft did the same shit with 343 and it was a big reason infinite came out a total mess. They clearly have learned nothing.

It would be awesome if this game got traction after switching from f2p+micro transactions to p2p-micro transactions. I’ve only ever heard of games doing the opposite.

Wow I was completely unaware that this game had something so invasive. I’m definitely going to have to refund it. This sucks since the game is really fun but that’s a deal breaker for me.

He also tried to defend his liberal use of a non-compete clause even after acknowledging that they aren’t enforcable legaly. Afaik any of his employees cannot stream on twitch in their free time unless they use LMG for their sponsorships who then take a cut of the revenue.

This is how I felt until I played Valheim and BG3. I think my preferred genres have just shifted. I need something I can relax and play at my own pace. I use to only play competitive shooters, where I needed to be “on” the whole game. Now I can only play a shooter for about an hour before my mind starts to drift and I lose interest.

or search the web for some stupid ass reason

The reason was actually documented at the end of Halo 3; when Cortana got rampancy and subsequently infected all of our windows 10 start menus.

There’s almost no way you have played BG3 or you’re just being contrarian. I love the old bioware and black isle and crpgs, BG3 absolutely stacks up to 1/2.

To call it “decent” is so disrespectful to the complexity of BG3. Hardly anything else even comes close to the scale of BG3, let alone any game fully voiced, in terms of decisions, outcomes, dialogs, and campaign paths of BG3. I’m 70 hours into my first playthrough and still likely have another 10-20 hours left of act 3. And all of those hours have felt impactful and engaging; none of that filler garbage you see in other games this size like AC or starfield.

This isn’t exactly true as tencent has a 30% stake in Larian. I imagine it definitely helps to have an owner like Sven and his wife that are fully bought in though with 70% stake.

It’s also inherently capitalist. Maybe profiteering would’ve been a better word? As I stated above, I have no problem with people getting paid for their work. He can charge whatever the hell he wants.

Well so far everything on lemmy has run on the goodwill of instance owners, lemmy maintainers, and app developers working for free. Sync as far I can tell is the only thing so far to bring an openly capitalist approach to lemmy, and it depends on the free hosting that instance owners are providing. I don’t have any problems with people wanting paid for their work. However, I can see how it’s a little jarring to see an app charge such a subscription fee while some big instances are struggling with hosting costs and likely pulling in much less in donations.
