Underrated burn. Hot damn.

The Apple filing criticized what it called an attempt by Epic to make Apple’s “tools and technologies available to developers for free.”

Wouldn’t that be fucking great. Man, if only.

Added toggle for ‘Reduced Motion’, removing the swirly background and gyrating card motion

Judging by other comments online people seem to love the aesthetic, but I IMMEDIATELY turned off the CRT, scanlines, and screen shaking settings. It was just too much for me. I’m so happy they’re letting me take out the last thing that is fucking with my vision after a long play session.

Changed the first shop in every run to always include a normal Buffoon pack as one of the pack options

I think this is a good change too. Might still be a little RNG reliant, but this definitely helps when more often than not, I restart the run after taking a look at the first couple of shops.

Upcoming blinds/tags can now be seen in the shop immediately after defeating a boss blind/cashing out

Also a worthy change.

Changed Fibonacci - costs $8 instead of $7, because Fibonacci

lol

Changed Seance - Now uncommon and $6, was rare and $7

Awww, I’m disappointed that the Magic TCG reference is now a little less on the nose.

Overall there’s a LOT of balance changes in here. I’m a little concerned that LocalThunk might have bitten off more than he could chew. Especially given that the blinds’ base values have been reduced to make the game easier. Though, is it to make it “easier” or “less RNG heavy?” I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

So they just have to make good enough games to avoid two complete flops in a row. Which is impossible

BG3 made a lot of committed repeat customers for Larian, I don’t think it’s impossible their next game will sell very well based on name recognition and good will alone. A guarantee? No. But a safe bet.

It’s the equivalent of the rich billionaires saying if you want a house just work hard and buy one. It’s not hard! Why are the poor people complaining?

If this is the source of your rage posting, that’s a lot of misguided anger to point it toward Larian. Are we gonna complain about the one-man developer who quit his job to develop Balatro? Yes he was privileged enough to have savings to dig into, but neither him nor Larian are anywhere in the same ballpark as EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft, etc. They’re just the wrong people to get mad at.

Your other comments which are the same comment repeated to everyone. I also don’t see any logic, just ragebait.

Blocked by OP, lol

Ever since reading about the challenge of deleting an image from your profile, a GUI for that. It should not only be an API call, not should you have to contact your instance admin to do it. It should be completely self-service from your profile page.

Jakey’s production value has skyrocketed, just by shooting the rodeo that is NYC. lmao

Balatro also has a game speed setting that greatly shortens the animations. The game basically moves as fast as you can click.

Easiest block of my life.

This is effectively how Kakao argued against Tachiyomi: they provided extensions to websites where pirated manga could be hosted, even if they weren’t running the sites themselves. They facilitated piracy, even if they didn’t host any pirated content.

I have a profound respect for how RPCS3 has been able to stay above water. They police the community heavily, AND they have a list of games that are persona non grata to even talk about, let alone ask how to get them to work.

@mapache I don’t recognize the orange square…

Gonna shill for kbin’s UI just a bit. I like how it handles cross-posted threads.

Locked out of hotel rooms

How does that happen? Concierge assumes you’re not the person on the booking?

Yeah that’s the guy. Hilarious to see he thinks his garbage biased opinion is worth any amount of money.

I’m hardly a Sony Stan, but you can call me one if it makes you feel better when I say… I have no idea what you’re talking about.

hardware component shortages that were notably specific

What was specific to the PS5 that wasn’t shared by the XSX? The specs of are almost identical. Same AMD processor, same generation and architecture, same amount and type of memory. Any supply chain woes that affected one almost certainly affected the other.

Except for that insane proprietary memory expansion card that Xbox uses that cost $200 per TB. It took them 3 years to come up with cheaper options. Meanwhile Sony just uses off the shelf NVME drives whose price has been slowly decreasing ever since the pandemic.

The PS3 was underpowered

It is well documented that the PS3’s weakness was the complexity of it’s design not necessarily how powerful it was.

the PS5 enabled and enriched scalpers

This is such a confusing statement, it’s Not Even Wrong. You make it sound like Sony built scalpability into the PS5. You’re angry at the inanimate object? Not what the awful people did with it? People scalped the PS5 because it was in higher demand, not because it was made of gold.

News to me, what’s up with the hardware?

Edit: ITT: a dude so defiantly wrong he uses edits to imply he’s the only person making any sense.

Let’s not confuse ourselves here. The opposite of one evil is not necessarily a good. Police reviewing their own footage, investigating themselves: bad. Unreliable AI beholden to corporate interests and shareholders: also bad.

I’ve seen the headline “Denuvo removed from Game” so many times that I can only imagine that the publisher just doesn’t see the point of paying for it after sales drop below a certain point.

You know what, hot take? Shout out to Denuvo, they made a DRM scheme so easy to remove that every publisher inevitably does it at some point or another.

To put my own skin in the game, I quite like the microblogging side of kbin. I like that I can swap between the thread and blog sides, I like that I can combine them into one view if I choose, and I like that I don’t need a separate account to use either service. Using kbin’s microblog was the first time I ever blogged, period. I’d hate to see that stream be overwhelmed by Threads users.

If Threads puts out so much more content as to effectively make other federated entities irrelevant, the character of the Fediverse changes such that it is no longer what it is today.

A fun time to bring up the concept of Eternal September.
