My partner and I just played through this together in co-op and had a great time. We thought it was a good game.

I read the whole discord drama stuff, and I'm more on Crema's side. I think they've made the mistake of trying to talk to a fanbase like they are just a group of reasonable people that will understand and empathize if you just lay out the facts. But they aren't. They're just going to pick apart anything you say and relentlessly shit on you because they are, collectively, not able to be reasoned with.

They released an MMO in its final state, minus some Kickstarter promised stuff, that they have said they will deliver. They tried to monetize the game how they felt was best, it didn't work out, so they've moved on and left a functioning, small-scope MMO. You can argue the quality of it or whether you agree with their decisions, but they made what they said they were going to make.

And they are still releasing small updates to a community that is, frankly, awful. The subreddit is just a hivemind of asshole armchair developers.

My husband is 30 and can't understand this. And not every pot is meant to be stored in one, large, precariously balanced stack. There's a whole cabinet there. You can spread them out...

You keep saying "it doesn't hurt anyone". But, I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out who this mod would help? Like, what kind of person is so put out by this that they would seek outside help to have it removed? It's very difficult to imagine a version of this that doesn't involve some pretty hurtful stuff.

Nexusmods is very clear that they will not platform mods that promote any sort of hatred. You may say this doesn't do that, but I think it's pretty clear that this would do nothing except foster hateful discussion. It's a harmless disclaimer that can already be disabled without a mod. The only reason to host a mod for this is to promote the idea that it's wrong and encourage the types of people that think that to do what they always do, be hateful. It's inevitable, and it breaks Nexusmods ToS pretty obviously.

On the topic of making them "look weak": I think it's very clear that if you're the type of person that wants this content, then they do not care about your opinion and do not want you to use their platform.

In this case, Carroll can start taking possession of his assets herself. She does not seem particularly sheepish about that. For some of these people, they can hide their assets, but Trump's are publicly known. I can't say what will happen, but there's some teeth to this one. And Trump couldn't argue with the damages amount because he'd risk losing one of his other cases that hinges on his assets' worth.

I mean, who was searching for that before the game released? I imagine you'd see the same trend with basically every game immediately following release. Not to downplay the issues the game has having, but this is like a "duh" kind of thing.

On the flip side, I've never used the touchpads in a game outside of Aperture Desk Job.

You can do some really cool stuff with emulation. I'm playing Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia (3DS) emulated at 4x native resolution with a HD texture pack at the moment, and it makes that game really enjoyable. 3DS games in general benefit a lot from increased resolution you can do while emulating.

Plus these things like widescreen on games that didn't have it, cheat codes, 60fps patches, fan translations, increased resolution, mods (Luminescent Platinum is so cool). It's just such a neat world on top of just playing older games that you can't purchase legally or conveniently anymore.

Idk that I would call it a Metroidvania. It has no map and it's completely linear.

But, it is a super well made game. I loved it.

Trying to finish Final Fantasy 16 this week. I'm about to start the final quests after I finish up some side stuff. It's kind of crazy how different the side quests at the end are compared to the beginning. They're so much better with a ton of character development.

Also working my way through Pikmin 4. Loving every second of that one. It's just kind pure joy in game form. So colorful and fun.

Will probably try to max out my season pass in Destiny 2 as well, if I have time. The game is about as boring as it's ever been, but I'm too deep to stop now. May as well play until Final Shape then hopefully call it a day on that one.

They're going to be rumored to show it off at every trade event ever. But, really, they'll just have their own presentation whenever they want, like they always do.

Either snes9x standalone app or the snes9x core in RetroArch. Dealers choice. If you just want to play SNES, go for the standalone app. If you're looking to get more into emulation as a whole or you want RetroAchievements, get RetroArch.

I don't think they'll ever manage to top the Yoshi's Island track from the last wave. That was one of the coolest MK tracks ever. The music and visuals were amazing. Looking forward to this wave anyways though.
