idle dice 2

I wonder if they changed the url or the edit didn’t federate to me yet. https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/the-biggest-gaming-controversies-of-2024/

It’s generally implemented in a way that takes away fun. If a game had fun fights that were always intended to be strategic, it’d be ok, but when you have to kill identical mob after identical mob to progress in the plot, i don’t see the point.

i remember getting bored and annoyed near the end of oblivion.

Mario looks so depressed in that first screenshot for some reason

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. The genres I like keep getting new games, but if most games now were precision platformers or MMORPGs, I’d read more lol.

Just try to hold back the good ol days mentality, try new stuff if it catches your interest, and let yourself enjoy your 10000th replay of your favorites? You aren’t against new things entirely, after all. You just don’t make yourself play games you don’t like. Somewhere out there is an indie developer with similar taste, also frustrated they can’t find a game they want to play, and I hope you find them and add a new game to your list.

I think that having a choice about what instance you join and whether it’s liberal or conserative about defederating is the beauty of federation. someone might want to be on an instance that’s quick on the trigger about banning for transphobia, racism, etc, because they’re going through some shit in their lives, and later want to experience the greater variety of an instance where banning takes more consideration.

Like, I think you’re right about what you want for you, but people wanting different things and being able to get it is pretty great.

Nope! It’s what I’d hope. I guess I was a bit confused why there was an article, since I thought erasing hate speech was normal practice. When I was half awake this morning reading it, I wondered if I missed something.

The impression i got from the article is you can say “this game is the worst zero stars” and you’re fine but “this game is for degenerate f******” is a no.

Whenever I’m reminded it exists, I go over there and find some people to follow. So, thanks!

That’s a shame, because it really doesn’t seem to benefit a game like Alan Wake 2 at all, atmosphere or story-wise, while turning lots of people away.

enjoying jumpscares is probably like enjoying rollercoasters (which i do). the adrenaline burst feels great for some people, and other people hate it. It seems a shame to have lots of them in games where that sort of feeling isn’t the point.

This is one game that makes me wish I enjoyed playing horror games more.

I watched someone play a bunch of these and her theory is they were inspired by that pt silent hills demo

Played it and loved it. I know I should hold off and wait until it’s complete before I play again, bit it’s going to be tough not loading it up the second there’s another update.

The guy in charge was having medical and personal issues. And doesn’t seem to have access to everything at the moment. It’s a bummer, and I hope things get better for him, but that’s how projects like this go sometimes.
