…Dead games, which means no one on Earth can currently play the game. It’s not possible…

…At-risk games, which means these games are currently working, but they’re designed in such a way that the second the publisher ends support, they will become dead games without some sort of intervention…

…Dev Preserved, which means the game would have died, but the publisher or developer implemented some sort of endof life plan, so now the game is safe…

…Fan Preserved, where the publisher did nothing or practically nothing to save the game, but fans managed to either hack it to remove dependencies or reverse engineer a server emulator so that the game was saved in spite of the publisher actions.

Survival horror is not my cuppa, but Alpha Beta Gamer recorded some gameplay from the demo(?) it for people who like that sort of thing:

[YouTube] Labyrinth of the Demon King - Crunchy Retro-Grim Survival Horror Set in Feudal Japan!

After blowing up the aid trucks.

We did not blow up an aid truck. We blew up terrorists.

After evidence comes out that, yes, it was an aid truck.

Well, they did not properly identify themselves as an aid truck.

Video evidence comes out that they identified themselves on the truck, with their uniforms, and during direct conversation with the soldiers who then killed them anyway.

One of the aid workers was totally a terrorist. He was hiding a bomb in his underpants, we swear!

Everyone knows this is an obvious lie.

And what are you going go do about it? Tweet at us?

I agree. “Exclamation point” sucks all the fun out of it.

Duckduckgo calls it “bang” for their special searchbar commands (like !gi makes it route the search through Google images), and I think more people should use that term instead.

I think our skill to process information has natural limits, which were overwhelmed decades ago by the social media firehose and a breakdown of information-filtering infrastructure.

an average edition of a newspaper the size of The Times already contains more information about the world than a person in the 17th Century was likely to come across in a lifetime. (Wurman, Information Anxiety)

That was back in 1989. We’re now 30 years later with an internet supercharged by predatory algorithms.

And we can’t filter all of it without either completely withdrawing from the world entirely or spending months learning why and how to filter it ourselves.

We have had information overload in some form or another since the 1500s. What is changing now is the filters we use for the most of the 1500 period are breaking, and designing new filters doesn’t mean simply updating the old filters. They have broken for structural reasons, not for service reasons. (Shirky, It’s Not Information Overload. It’s Filter Failure)

I think you’ve got to start with the bang to make it a community link.

Like this: !stick@sh.itjust.works

Serbian prosecutors on May 14 announced that the cultural official in charge of the site’s historic designation had forged a key document and had been arrested. Goran Vasic, the acting director of the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, admitted he had fabricated an expert’s opinion.

“Vasic forged a proposal for a decision to revoke the status of cultural property,” prosecutors said in a statement.

So they forged a document in order to un-protect the building site?

Thank you! I now understand the joke.

I was with you until the last step. How did it all get sorted, instead of having two “peaks”?

Shame on Harvey Randall for platforming executive bullshit:

The problem, he puts it, is inflation. Which is an unerringly boring but also correct answer: “We live in contrasting times, where inflation is real and significant, but people expect games that are ever more ambitious and therefore expensive to develop to cost the same. It’s an impossible equation.”

They’re not responding to the expectations of the people; they’re responding to the expectations of their investors.

Agreed. A pox on every bank that charges a monthly service fee a low balance fee a poverty tax.

It’s like first vs second degree murder. It soundsless intense to the jury, but if you’re the victim… you’re still dead.

What does it actually mean?

Edit: Nevermind, @jerkface already answered.

Well, I downvoted them twice and upvoted them three times.

Why not combine a good image storage service with a easy-to-search database?

I don’t need this kind of thing, so I can’t give great suggestions, but I’ve been told catbox.me is a good provider and a lot of people use Notion.

Edit: Replied to the wrong comment.

I’ve always liked threadiverse, since it describes what’s unique about this aspect of the Fediverse.

Something like a removable “mobile chip” for a laptop could address this problem. Framework could probably pull it off, but I don’t know if the market incentives it.
