Death Stranding’s environment was directly inspired by Iceland, after all

It’s a joke about writing slurs and censoring them with an asterisk, implying Gamer is a slur

They have some new IPs but they’re purely game publishers nowadays, primarily more indie and AA titles afaik Edit: write this without looking, looks like they do also sell old consoles and some controllers and such as well.

Peanut butter?

You pulled this point out of your ass, they never once implied that they expected men to be more polite.

If a guy was talking about a date like the guy in this comic I’d assume he was a douche. This also goes for both genders btw, used to work with a lady who talked about how a guy she hooked up with had stretch marks on his stomach and how gross it was. I have stretch marks from puberty, didn’t feel great to hear someone talk about it. Seems more like the comic is partially about people being shallow assholes in that regard.

That’s all well and good but this is talking about gay marriage which is a topic with completely different context and importance than building roads or schools

You’d be fuckin surprised actually, some of these people will support their own family while condemning others for doing the same thing. Dick Cheney has a daughter who he is supposedly very close to who is publicly lesbian, married to a woman and he himself supported their marriage and attended. He then turns around and supports banning gay marriage. I may be under informed on this situation but it’s baffling to me.

A lot of games were significantly more expensive bc back then too

Well the new Tekken games launch with more and more characters, besides 7 which did launch with less than 6, and if you consider that the price of games has gotten cheaper due to inflation since the first Tekken it starts to make sense that they’re trying to make more money off them. Games have been costing more to make while costing less to buy for decades now and the industry is reaching a point where that’s become unsustainable but people just won’t accept a larger sticker price and longer development cycles so studios are finding new ways to make money. Personally I think selling characters as they come out for a few bucks is actually not a bad thing in fighting games, it keeps the games alive and interesting for much longer so long as it’s done well.

There was plenty of terrible, buggy games you just didn’t see because stores would drop them. PC had it far worse than console did back in the day. I think it’s also that games are just way fucking cheaper now, adjusted for inflation a SNES game was around 120 bucks and a PS2 game was around 75 bucks.

But it did mean they would ship them broken with no chance of fixing them, tbf.

Nah it’s everywhere, Lemmy is not special in that regard. Gaming culture in general has a large amount of people who just hate shit, regardless of whether it deserves it or not. Just ask anyone who plays an MMORPG

They did tho? Not being able to make a new save was one of those issues

I want this but the audiobook equivalent. Ive had such bad luck getting them.

I’m glad to hear that it seems to be doing better. I really wanted Konami to not fuck these ports up

Have they fixed a lot of the issues I heard about when these ports launched? I was really disappointed to hear about them and haven’t grabbed it yet because of it.

Oh, seems so. I always thought they just had the same art style through a coincidence or something. IDK where I got that

Idk I think the new art style is good. They probably didn’t want it looking like Rimworld anymore and wanted to have 3D for the verticality that was lacking in the original.

Investing into your reputation should be a business decision tbh. More companies should pay attention to what people actually think of their practices.
