That’s a basic admissibility criteria, you are not allowed to just dump a pile of evidence onto the judge’s lap, you have to make a case for each item as to why they’re relevant to the case.
That said, the idea that the president acting in an official capacity wouldn’t be prosecutable for his behaviour is a scary thought in its own right.
Almost done with Persona 3 Reload, still the best story out of the 3D personas, and I’m starting on Manifold Garden, which is very interesting and quite trippy.
It hasn’t been. It’s just as clunky as it’s ever been.
It’s Ubisoft, they’ve been allergic to finishing shit for decades now.
Yep, if you being pissed off or not makes no difference why would anyone care.
Well then why would anyone cater to your interests lol
I love that this comes out of Dragon age’s dev team, as if they weren’t part of the reason why people started being so aware of reuse and just general laziness.
Also, nobody cares about reuse, we care about reuse that makes the game worse.
The fact that dragon age 2 had 6 dungeon tilesets they reused super lazily with a very mediocre random generation algorithm and they got shat on for it doesn’t mean all reuse is bad, it means the ratio of content to playtime has to be higher than whatever that fucking was.
But most of all, going from a completely bespoke, no repetitive side quests, all killer no filler CRPG to whatever the fuck DA2 thought it was going to be? Step down, no matter how much of it would have been original assets, it was just worse design and a lower overall level of craftsmanship. I could throw that gameplay loop together in a day of work, it’s just not interesting.
This isn’t like, basic necessities food. This fast food.
The cost is the manpower and prep involved in being able to deliver food, fast.
The deals are there to make you check the rest of the website and be acquainted with their products, in exchange you get a price reduction.
There is no ripping off, you’re just not doing an additional bit of trading. If you don’t want food at the price Domino’s offers nobody says you must purchase from them.
The words change, the business stays the same. Been that way since mass effect 3 and dragon age 2, at least.
Hidetaka Miyazaki has eyes and ears, more at 11.
Game journalism is a marketing tool. When pieces come out preemptively defending a product (any product) from some specific criticism, it’s because the company is both confident that those criticisms will be levied, and that they won’t shake out favourably.
That’s it, that’s the whole reasoning.
They know they won’t come out looking in any way comparable in terms of scope, quality, etc, and they’re putting their hands forward through their connections with the press, hoping at least some people will buy this obvious attempt at ass covering and refrain from publicly criticising their product.
Every console they release is so locked down you can’t even install their own os on it, I think you’re wrong.
For my money? It won’t allow that without jailbreaking.
I fucking hate tankies, but.
The problem i have, every time this conversation happens, is that cutting them out doesn’t solve anything, and that I don’t want to be coddled.
The 2 main issues we have, as lemmy at large, is that there are some wildly uneven standards enforced across instances and that we have no say about that. There was that hugbox instance that would ban people for being rude and yeeted itself into the void, there was hexbear that got de-federated for its mods actively encouraging being subversive (despite its users receiving intolerable psychic damage after 5 minutes in any lib space where people are free to call them names, or was that lemmygrad?) and now we’re talking about removing lemmy.ml for the fact that its mods are somehow sentient pieces of actual shit.
And while I agree to all of those reasons, I don’t think defederating is the answer.
Every time we fragment the fediverse we make it overall worse.
Average users don’t even understand what they’re looking at when it comes to decentralized networks, let alone can they understand that there’s politicking between instances and such. If I were told “you can make an account on instance x or y, but they don’t talk to eachother so if you want to see stuff on instance y you can’t make an account on instance x” as a rando, I would go back to reddit, the only reason I didn’t is that i really hate the app and I am tech/net savvy enough to handle this.
I am a tad more radical when it comes to speech than most, and I accept that, but I do believe that these people have no power so long as they can’t abuse moderation, so the answer to the question “how do we handle open propagandists”, to me, is to create perhaps a “moderation neutrality charter” and making it very clear which instances subscribe to it, having each instance’s moderation team maybe be required to weigh in on appeals to bans from other instances to ensure a certain amount of balance.
That would take care of that real quick. They can subscribe to the charter and start abiding by neutral moderation standards agreed to across the board by some democratic standard, or they can defederate themselves.
That’s actually something twitter does right with the idea of community notes, that for the note to be published it needs to be agreed on by multiple parties that don’t usually agree in those votes, to ensure there is a bipartisan agreement.
I know this is perhaps too lofty for a ragtag group of essentially microblogging self-hosters, but a man can dream.
Then don’t act coy about wanting to make games as if that’s the driving force behind you being CEO of a studio.
Be honest and say "yeah, we have contractual obligations and this is one of them, sucks that they are mismanaging it but we have to abide by it because they gave us a bajillion dollars, and we gotta keep the lights on. Hopefully they’ll change their minds.”
The reality is that they mismanaged this severely, they should have either held off the launch or made it abundantly clear that this was temporary and it would have been mandatory in a few months, not whatever the fuck this was.
And it should have never been possible for people in non-psn countries to buy the game in the first place.
Are we pretending that the instance whose name is a play on Leningrad is not extremists?
Would you be equally charitable to an instance called “Nacht der lemmy messen” or “Credere Obbedire Postare”?
They’re tankies and proud to be, which is no less extremist from a liberal point of view
Must have been the bass player.
