He’s polling higher than that. Closer to like 5-6 percent in quite a few states. It’s certainly enough to swing the election.

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.

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

Emudeck also installs EmulationStation. You can choose to access your games and not by integrating then into Steam. Just like Retrodeck.

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.

Well, I’m on my ROG Ally at the moment because of Game Pass, but I just finished up Cocoon. Can’t recommend it enough. If it has a story, I couldn’t tell you what it is, but as a puzzle game, it’s fantastic. I think it strikes that balance where you feel smart without it being frustrating. Portal does that too. This was my favorite puzzle game of the year, easily.

Just finished up Sea of Stars. Enjoyed it, but didn’t love it. The visuals and music were spectacular. The story was kind of weak, and didn’t too much time tying into the Messenger without resolving plots in a satisfying way. Some of the characters were good, but the actual plot felt kind of pointless. Gameplay was also fun, but took awhile to get going. I think it was really fun after some more options and characters were available, but the start felt too slow. Would still recommend it though. It is a very solid game. It’s just not perfect.

Going back to finish Pikmin 4 next and start up Cocoon on PC too.

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.

It’s running Android and they don’t have a streaming app for Android. I guess they could make an exclusive app for it, but seems like a lot of work for a super tiny audience.

I don’t really understand this. It’s like streaming PS5 games but exclusively from a PS5? If you’re internet is good enough for streaming, why wouldn’t you just download? Seems like such a niche thing. Always better to have the option than not, just seems like a strange addition.

I’m on an Ally, but similar stuff.

• Planet of Lana - It’s Limbo but less depressing.
• Tinykin - A platformer with a dash of Pikmin. Like, a very small dash. Some reviews way overplay the Pikmin aspect. It’s more of a collectathon platformer, and the Tinykin are more or less just abilities you need to collect in every level. There’s no strategy and you’re not at risk of losing them unnecessarily. There’s enough to collect everything in every level. I loved the game, but it’s not Pikmin.
• Pokemon Luminescent Platinum - It’s a BDSP (specifically BD) mod that makes the games Platinum with some additional QoL stuff like a built in level cap so you don’t get overpowered, additional moves and Pokemon, and just a ton of stuff. It’s very good.

Lemmy is never going to compete with Reddit regardless. It’s way too complicated for the average user. I think it’s a neat experience, but with the way it works, I don’t think there’s any world where it gets really big. I don’t think it’s even clear what Lemmy actually is.
