Typically speaking in the aesthetic sense, _punk means taking a certain look to its extreme. Cyberpunk of course infusing everything with computer technology, steampunk infusing everything with the looks of a steam powered machine, etc.

Starfield was described once as having its aesthetic "NASApunk," which sounded really cool to me when I heard it. I expected white and black, gold foil, etc. Which isn't really how the end product ended which was a bit disappointing, but the point remained that calling it "NASApunk" had me immediately expecting a certain aesthetic.

In the case of Frostpunk, I am not sure. It takes place in a frozen world, but it doesn't have an aesthetic to fit that name so it may just be a title.

Never

I didn't say anything about how it started, I said what it means as it pertains to aesthetics, which was what I felt was the primary root of the question.

Man accused of attempted murder in hammer attack over online gaming argument ( www.nbcnews.com )

Edward Kang, 20, flew from Newark, New Jersey, to Jacksonville, Florida, to confront someone he had an online dispute with, Nassau County, New Jersey, Sheriff Bill Leeper said. Court records show he was charged Monday with second-degree attempted murder and attempted burglary....

Better headline:

"Florida Man has an Online Argument, Lives."

Publishers when a game specifically designed for consoles does not sell like Candy Crush on mobile: :shocked_pikachu_face:

Its only Reddit, it doesn't really matter. Real life doesn't care about Reddit.

Im pretty sure none of Jupiters moons would survive. But I suppose if they did perhaps they would change classification from moon to planet, but I think planet classification now also depends on size, so depending on size they still may not qualify. I don't know if any of Jupiter's moons are larger thaan Pluto, Ceres, etc.

Always start with the simple stuff first. Even if you think you just checked it, it doesn't hurt to check something that takes less than 10 seconds to check again. And that check could save you from wasting 3 hours.

Sony needs to be punished for this trash. No chance that this wasn't the result of Sony paying money to prevent this from dropping on Xbox.

It's anti-consumer and needs to stop.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

It’s the most impressive video game to come out of china, the first that seems poised to generate significant buzz internationally.

Uh, Genshin Impact? Massive global buzz around that game, and makes a huge amount in revenue yearly.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

That may be true. I don't play many games from China, not because of any reason its just the games that come from China usually don't appeal to me. I mean sure, I am concerned about Chinese government spyware, but also I am not anyone that is important so them having my data is completely valueless. I have a lot of fun with Super Mecha Champions, but when I tried out Genshin I just stopped playing after the big controversy of Rosarias bust size getting nerfed and the ice area was added to the game. I just didn't find the game much fun anymore, but it has made a massive amount of money.

Wukong looks like a fun game though, I look forward to its release.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

The problem is if Sony has a monopoly on the premium console market, they can charge any number they want and consumers have no other option. Less competition always means prices go up.

Sony's practice of paying money not for exclusivity for their platform, just to stop developers from developing for Xbox for a period of time, is anti-consumer and needs to stop.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Yeah, defend the mega corporation more. Good job lickin' them boots.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Lemmy is very hostile to people that don't have views or thinking that aligns with most of its users. More hostile than Reddit, I would go to say. Whether you were earnest or not never mattered in this situation, you were getting downvoted regardless. Unfortunate, but the quicker you understand that maybe the less this stuff happens. Lemmy is a big echo chamber just like Reddit or Facebook.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Less tolerance, that's for sure.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Is it going to be packaged with UPlay malware/bloatware?

There are some forks of Dolphin that support VR.

Kotaku - "Unscored"

Were they too busy with their other garbage to do a proper game review or what? Don't they have something like Black Myth Wukong to complain about?

EDIT: "By Alyssa Mercante" -- So its totally ignorable, got it.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Alyssa Mercante wrote it, so I don't care to bother reading it.

The only thing she does properly is attack other people and say the absolute dumbest crap imaginable.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Outside of the Lands Between and the Shadow Realm, I have spent nearly four months as the subject of a near-endless harassment campaign. It feels, at times, like logging on for a day of work is akin to walking through a boss door over and over again.

Alyssa is a narcissistic "Professional Twitter Victim." Its not even past the second paragraph and she is already playing the classic narcissist card of making it all about how she's a "victim," despite it being her that is creating the problem by going out of her way to attack, harass, and insult other people.

She is an awful person and I don't have any empathy for awful people. I don't need to read anything from her to know I can ignore it and be better off for it.

If I provided sources, would you believe it or would you try to move goal posts/ make excuses? Under normal circumstances I would have provided sources, but in this kind of conversation I have found 99% of people that demand sources do so without intent of actually wanting to see sources and simply to continue bad faith arguments.

If you actually want sources, Google is there. DMs sent to Jeff of SmashJT and his wife, remarks to Mark Kern, its easily findable. I don't care who you are, you don't have beef with someone online and then find their wife to harass in DMs. That is too far.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

This lawsuit build on a false premise. Steam doesnt have a price parity clause for other stores. What this lawsuit alleges applies to Steam keys that the developer generates through Steam. If the developer lists those keys for sale at a price lower than what the game is listed for on Steam, then the price of the Steam Store purchase price must match it, so that people visiting the store page on Steam get the same discount. It doesn't matter if you list your game on GOG and discount it there.

Its literally helping players.

Mozilla is bending the knee to Russia? Is this real life? Have we stepped into an alternate timeline? Whats going to happen to all the psycho FireFox users when they find out this happened, will they stop screaming at everyone to use FireFox?

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Starfield is popular to hate on, anything Bethesda does with it will "draw player ire."

RightHandOfIkaros ,

This game looks better every time they show it. Initially I was very worried when they talked about the dreaded project killing words "made for a modern audience," but it appears this is going to be alright.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

This looked interesting visually, and they probably blew their entire budget on the soundtrack, but as a marketing video it was pretty bad. It didn't clearly communicate what kind of game it is, or how I play it. Is it an RPG? A point and click adventure? A free roam story game? I don't know because this trailer didn't tell me.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

It looks like theyre not only using elements from the N64 original, but elements from Perfect Dark Zero as well, which wasn't the worst game ever but it wasn't a masterpiece.

Perfect Dark was always like the woman-led version of James Bond with a high science fiction flavoring. It doesn't seem to stray too far IMO.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Only from the parkour though. Literally nothing else felt like ME.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

I hate that it looks so good without Kojimas involvment. Then again, its a remake and everything needed is already there.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

It does, and I am happy for that. I wish more remakes would be close to remasters like this.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

I loved Starfield, and I am happy to see theyre still working on it.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

I look forward to playing this, the only thing I wasn't a fan of in the original.is that saving needed a consumable potion.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

What's weird is I liked when Resident Evil still needed Ink Ribbons to save your game. But something about it in Kingdom Come just doesn't jive with me.

Report: Warner Bros. Execs Thought Suicide Squad Would Make A Ton Of Money Despite Development Woes ( kotaku.com )

Anyone who played Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could probably guess that something went terribly wrong during development. Bloomberg now reports that the multiplayer bomb from a studio beloved for its single-player Batman: Arkham games was plagued by several issues leading up to its repeatedly delayed launch....

RightHandOfIkaros ,

It is amazing how out of touch someone can be with reality.

Also, classic blaming the guy that just left. Maybe he contributed to some of the issues, but I guarantee there was a mountain of other issues unrelated to this guy.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Why is the "a burned out disappointment" section so small? This isn't accurate at all.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

I am assuming this is some sort of vegan talking point that since some human teeth are mostly flat, ignoring canines and some particularly sharp front incisors, humans are supposed to eat only plants? Aren't humans omnivores though?

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Humans have teeth suitable for both meat and plant foods. So I would say humans are omnivores.

I may be wrong, but a 100% vegan only diet I think requires supplements to be taken for certain things like proteins that humans need in order to live. Of course, those certain proteins are found in meats.

However, I think saying humans are carnovires would also be incorrect, and a 100% meat only diet would be I think equally as unhealthy as a 100% plant only diet.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for AI Haters, but if something is accessible on the internet, it absolutely is being used to train an AI somewhere.

Yes, even here.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

The only way this would have been funnier is if OP had posted this.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

No, it won't have any effect unless he tries to go through a legal system that recognizes that flair as a legally binding agreement.

And by that point, it is not financially worth it for that person compared to a company with enough money to bankrupt him.

RightHandOfIkaros , (edited )

No, because then information is locked behind walled gardens, plus the AI training material is still siphoned from them anyway. All it takes is one AI training user being added or one account being compromised.

If you don't want AI to use it, don't post it online. And don't let people post it online.

Basically my point is there is literally nothing you can do.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

School does exactly what it is supposed to do: prepare people for the real world.

Imagine thinking someone could be successful, ha.

Cockaroaches is obviously the correcta spelling.

It inspired like, every Japanese game ever made, not only those listed.

And if Wizardry didn't inspire it, then Ultima did.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

And then he was killed, probably.

No way anyone got away with selling fake anything to the empress.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

It is actually unreal to be downvoted for saying this. What a place to be.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

I don't care about the number. The frustration comes from people that act exactly as Redditors do. Lemmy users in this thread insulting and name calling, etc. I don't care about the insults themselves (which are against communit rules), the fact that Lemmy was supposed to be "a better place" and yet the exact same crap is happening is what is disappointing.

Reddit is equally as fixable as Lemmy. Just because the primary owner of Reddit is a shareholder and the primary developer of Lemmy is a communist doesn't make it easier for either to do anything. The fundamental problem is the users, the people hiding behind anonymity. They can be the absolute worst garbage being because they're anonymous, instead of just being a decent human. Changing that people isntantly go to that rather than a kind human is the only real way to fix it, and in that regard Lemmy can never be fixed just like Reddit can never be fixed.

Lemmy was not always like this. But since about 7 or 8 months ago, it became this way. And there is no going back.
