This makes me realize that I can’t think of hardly any videogames with a black character at the forefront.

Sure, there are black playable characters in MOBAs and MMOs, but how many story-driven games have black characters at the forefront?

The most recent one I can think of is Alan Wake 2. And Spider-Man Miles Morales. But there really are so few compared to those with white main characters. Which is sad.

The movie is about a fortress made out of little people because the producers don’t play video games. They just heard that kids these days are into Dwarf Fortress.

“We shall truly be the Dwarf Fortress.”

Don’t forget in the middle of the night, being woken up by your cat hacking something up onto your only rug… right next to your hardwood floor.

“Suh Yuh”

They joke, but it would likely work. Become a defense contractor and the US government will let you do anything

They’ve sold 117 million PS4s and 59 million PS5s.

They take a 30% cut on each game sold on the PlayStation store. That’s $18 for every $60 game sold.

If every one of those people bought just one game per year, Sony brings in $3,006,000,000 every year. Even if only half of gamers buy one game per year, that’s still an insane amount of money.

Corporate greed on full display. And don’t tell me it’s because of game development costs. Because:

The next game, which is a fan-favourite is Uncharted 4. This game needed $40 million to be completed, and after its release, it made around $1 billion.

And the best of them all, Marvel Spider-Man. This game cost $100 million to be developed, and when it was released, it made a whopping $6.8 billion.

Sony-funded games are wildly profitable.

The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

Feels like The Onion is on their game today, between this and the Trump $399 furry tail.

They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

What’s the last game Ubisoft came out with that had any real success in the public gaming consciousness?

The Fractured But Whole?

They just don’t make great games.

They’re both so overrated.

Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy are where it’s at.

It’s only a first version. I’m sure with time, it’ll get even better.

People are literally only asking for the same console, a few refinements, and with better performing internals.

The form factor is excellent, if a bit flimsy. But games like TOTK and whatever next 3D Mario game comes out deserve to have better graphical fidelity than what the current switch can put out. I stopped playing TOTK because I just kept getting framerate drops.

Please give the Switch 2 more powerful internals!

I always thought the “no man can kill me” not including women was a dumb loophole.

The Nazgul should have written his rule as “no gender identity can kill me.”

Gonna sideload cocaine while I mainline heroin.

And there’s never been a worse time to be making them.

The industry keeps consolidating and there were a ton of layoffs, despite great profits.

This year was great, but sad.

It’s better than arguing with the customer.

Simple explanations like “we felt we were under X constraints” or “our engine didn’t handle the loading times as well as we had hoped” would be just fine.

Instead, they just seem to be telling the players they’re wrong for disagreeing with many of the design decisions made

Yeah, I remember this game being pretty good and seemingly getting little attention.

I’ll probably look into getting this remake to experience it again.

I’m realizing now that this would have been super useful when I worked in Loss Prevention way back when. Wish I had known…
