For a single piece sure.

I presume the idea here is that you have access to their full library. Personally, I fail to see why I would change my wallpaper enough to warrant even a free app to change it, let alone 50 bucks.

It’s for posterity. He ‘asks’ the same of FFXIV players and yet it’s modding scene is one of the most degenerate places in gaming.

I remember seeing something that a pool filled with liquids thicker than water wouldn’t really affect your ability to swim in it, it doesn’t even affect the speed at which you swim in it. You would need a liquid that’s several times more viscous than something like a syrup to see any real difference from just swimming in water.

Some people like instant, some people like fancy, single-origin, anointed with holy water, picked bean by bean, winner of 50 awards you’ve never heard of coffee and other people like crap coffee.

No one really doubts that coffee pods aren’t coffee, they hate pods because they’re literal garbage for the environment.

this looks like a shittier, less comfortable version of those handheld trackballs from the early 2000s.

What an incredibly superficial comparison.

“BotW/TotK is the same because it’s an open world anime game with action combat.”

“Tales of Arise is a seemingly open world anime game with action combat.”

“Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an open world anime (realistic style but still anime AF) game with action combat.”

Blue Protocol is an MMO, with MMO gameplay and design philosophy that just happens to have a cel shaded anime aesthetic which has existed loooooooong before Genshin somehow ‘monopolised’ the style. Meanwhile Genshin is a mostly single player experience with some online elements. Look at your apples before you start calling them oranges.

If anything, the article talks about the developers being surprised at how much of a casual audience the game attracted and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the exact same people that are comparing it to Genshin somehow thought they’d get the same experience out of a grindy MMO.

iTs AnImE.

Here’s another one, Solace Dreams https://youtu.be/IcrYfmkPl-E also really impressive, though the game didn’t seem all that balanced when this video was posted, not sure if it’s been improved since or if the creators moved on to another project.

Doom wads and hacks in recent years have been doing some absolutely insane things, and it’s only been getting better as more and more people are realising the things they can do with it. I’m not surprised in the slightest.

Total Chaos has got to be the most mind-blowing to me, it’s a total conversion mod built of GZDoom. https://youtu.be/L7IITZDBvqE

25 years too late, downtown is a fucking ghost town now, no idea what the hell they’re thinking.

“Don’t be evil”

Shit writes itself.

I remember it being convenient for getting screenshots off it to pc quickly, but I don’t know if there’s a better method of doing so. I rarely, if ever, use the share function to begin with.

the problem is companies have weaponised complacency, there’s too many people that don’t care and that’s why they keep getting away with it. do it enough times and people will begin to think it’s inevitable and just put up with it.

is this not SEGA being cheeky about Ubisoft claiming that Skull & Bones is a quadruple A game?

or are they being serious that they’re dumping that much into Crazy Taxi?

A lot of folks are sleeping on mobile games either because they’re mobile games or because of gacha, when a small amount of research (in the right places) will inform you on what the quality of the games are as well as how much gacha is required to enjoy the game. A lot of which don’t “require” it or give you more than enough to obtain enough out of it to progress (usually the gear based ones). Though if you outright don’t like the blatant waifu/husbando nature a lot of them have you’re free to avoid those, no point in forcing yourself to do something you don’t like.

Genshin Impact for example, might have a massive number of players, but I have found the game itself and the storytelling to be very underrated because folks either expect far too much out of it or just don’t care. Even out of my friend group there’s a few that only play to collect characters, that’s their prerogative. It’s also technically not a mobile game since it is available on just about everything, but it does have a gacha and therefore gets lumped in with other mobile games.

I can understand why some folks were put off by the first act back when the game was new and there wasn’t much else to do, but it’s grown considerably and there’s a lot more available to new players to keep them occupied during downtime. Like an entire TCG mode that gets updated regularly and even has its own competitive scene.

A lot of these games have more effort put into them than full releases on consoles and it amuses me how many players are quick to shit on mobile games when the games they play on whatever other devices are either worse, equally if not more “predatory”, or similar enough that they would enjoy it if they actually gave it a chance.
