it takes like 6 months of mild observation of the game industry to realize that reaching #1 on amazon means fucking nothing

games hit that the day after their trailer drops and then later you find out they sold less than a million units

Banning weed, a substance banned in the vast majority of the world and banned by an international committee is 'stupid', so it shouldn't even count as rule breaking
But it is stupid no matter how many countries jump off a cliff. And the rule it's breaking is "performance enhancing" drug use, which... what kind of operation are they running?

The game has been in the top 10 list on Amazon for a few months at least, IIRC- plus it's Zelda-- it's way more popular than Metroid and that Wikipedia list has the 3DS Zelda games, including ports, selling millions of units.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/do-examples-of-evidence-based-intellectual-conservatism-exist.451909/

thread is cracking me up, conservative foundational texts like Ayn Rand and the Austrian School, Kowloon being a "functional ultra conservative society bordering on anarchism", saying Toryism came about because "of the French Revolution", etc.

speaking of the French Revolution, Edmund Burke gets mentioned only as a book title and it's as "From Edmund Burke to Donald Trump"!

ironic that a conservative reactionary forum is so out of touch with the roots of its philosophy :teehee

A lot of squawking about Richardson is overlooking the fact that she immediately took responsibility and faced up to the consequences without whining or making excuses. That’s some boss shit. I’m rooting for her to take a WR and Gold in 2025 now.

Edit: heh, I just saw the Pres himself pointed it out, so maybe I’m just slow off the blocks.

The thing he linked to that started the whole thing is from a well known white supremacist leader indicating his support for everything that person has said on every topic. Also, he's Eastern European aka Polish aka basically a Russian who are ethnically white supremacists.

The fact that you didn't know this is quite sus for someone claiming to be an ally.

July 4th. USA.

What do I do. This is my partners family. Her siblings are chill, similar in age and beliefs. Her parents, in spite of them being dyed in the wool Reagan-Republicans are fine (they have to be. I can only fight so much if I want to continue this relationship) but beyond that it's just so many old fogeys, I can hardly keep their names straight. It's like, uncles, second-sisters, step-siblings. It's a big family. One of the uncles always mentions how the vaccine is a hoax, p sure he's Qanon. I try to engage him as little as possible.

Another situation is that one of the dudes, (not related by blood) who is rich as fuck (higher-up in tech company), scoffs at all my service-industry friends (or any industry) who ever collected unemployment. He's super republican in spite of himself lacking citizenship in the US (all of which sucks because my heritage and his aren't that different, disregarding class). His wife believes she can communicate with the undead, and they sold their home and bought a bigger, nicer mansion, all because of her "visions" (apparently their old house was haunted). She is also anti-vax. Me and her have had more than a couple big blowouts that were initiated by me questioning the validity/point of her spreading some dangerous ideas on social media. My partner is their kids' God Mother. I guess this is the hardest part... My partner keeps these certain people in her life and guards them with unquestioning loyalty, seemingly for the sake of their past relationship, all while being blind to the warning signs that I'm seeing. Their kids are cool though, so I need to act fine around them...

So tomorrow I'm not sure how to handle this. There are multiple people that I either I need to avoid, or spit fire at. And while I know where I stand on the political spectrum, I don't know how good I am at spitting facts...

What do I do. Just avoid conversation? Drink by myself at the pool all day? I don't know. I need to know how to traverse this terrain. I love my partner, but these situations are obviously complicated. How do people deal with going to shitty parties like this? How do YOU astrally project yourself somewhere else in situations of discomfort?

First off, I'm going to be talking about Cyberpunk in this thread alongside The Witcher 3. As such, given the proper decision to ban 2077 threads, mods feel free to lock this thread if you feel it goes against this rule.

With that out of the way, I want to talk about games (typically RPGs) that tout the fact that their story has multiple endings. This is almost a given for any Western RPG to sell the idea that your "choice has consequences." But in actuality, the "multiple" endings is really just three separate cutscenes (usually not even that different) that play after the same final level that every player experiences. And that's your "multiple" ending, a completely passive cutscene which requires far less effort on the part of the developer than a whole separate gameplay segment.

On the other hand, for two games now (three if you count TW2) CDPR has produced titles which actually have multiple endings, like full on totally separate ending sequences complete with gameplay. In TW3, you don't have any singular choice that provides you with an ending. Rather, the ending you receive is the culmination of several choices throughout the game. But regardless, the ending you get is totally unique than any of the other endings possible. And each ending has a quite lengthy ending quest, including one with a full-on boss fight. This actually really impressed me when the game initially released as that's usually uncommon, especially in the AAA space. The endings are all different and provide about 15-30 minutes of extra content.

Then we get to Cyberpunk 2077, now this game is far less RPG than TW3 and your ending result really is just predicated on your big choice before the final mission. Still, despite all that, the game has several completely separate epilogue sequences with their own unique gameplay and varying lengths. You actually feel like the ending you get is unique and not just some copy and paste slideshow with a different voice over.

In comparison, most other games just do not offer this, even if I find them superior overall games. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout: NV, Fallout: 4, Deus Ex, hell even smaller titles like Disco Elysium, or Pillars of Eternity. They all just tend to end with slightly different cutscenes or some sort of slide show where the game recaps all the choices you made and their consequences, which TW3 also does AFTER providing you a completely unique epilogue. Outside of CDPR I can think of only games like Until Dawn or David Cage games that provide a similar experience of actually unique epilogues complete with gameplay.

Am I right here? And why aren't more developers following this?

At least pre-covid Ubisoft has such a massive workforce that they don't need to crunch to make the massive games they create. Like there's normalized crunch, in which shit gets real, all hands are on deck, and the game needs to be shipped. And then there's kind of crunch where that happens for an extended period of time at the direct expense of everyone involved, the kind that results in a Jason S. article.
Finds it in his heart to even defend Ubisoft when it comes to good workplace practices.

The Greta events are a level of insanity beyond Trump rallies.
A bunch of world leaders fly to a "climate" summit.
Greta dramatically reads a prepared remark to roast the politicans attending and then they all clap and cheer.

The idea that less crunch means you'll end up with soulless ubisoft games is the strongest pro-crunch argument I've ever seen.

People are so infatuated with celebrity and "takedowns" and twitter virality... maybe empty publicity like this is the only thing that will actually get people to make changes in their life for the environment. If it works, it works?
But it doesn’t.

Not for everyone and not instantly, but you gotta start somewhere.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Making stealth Cyberpunk 2077 thread and deliberately bypassing staff instructions

First line in the OP in giant letters

First off, I'm going to be talking about Cyberpunk in this thread alongside The Witcher 3. As such, given the proper decision to ban 2077 threads, mods feel free to lock this thread if you feel it goes against this rule.

"Making stealth Cyberpunk 2077 thread"

"stealth"

Imagine thinking negotiating with terrorists is "how things should be done". And yes, holding software captive to have demands met is terrorism.

What do you think holding software hostage in order to have demands met is, exactly? Just trying to "raise awareness"? Or are they trying to send a message?

I can't imagine the folks at Respawn are thinking "thank goodness for these kind, reasonable people taking control of our game! They're doing good things for us and this in no way means anything more serious at all! Titanfall not working for awhile IS a serious problem that needs this kind of action. You know, we really deserve this!"

Terrorism means any act designed to incite fear in a specific target, for a desired goal.

I knew that thread and the OP was deadmeat. It was a thread about CDPR that wasn't negative about them. Any threads about Cyberpunk or CDPR that isn't shitting on them isn't allowed, as this banning and thread closure illustrates. Hell, they just banned someone for saying out loud only negative CDPR threads are allowed. And then they pull stuff like this that just proves that (now banned) poster was right.

At this point, the moderation on ResetERA is worse that NeoGAF's was at its worst.

Shoe string dev ops and cybersecurity budgets, contractors writing the net code - the he/him jr devs trying to untangle their own spaghetti code bolted onto the Source engine. I'm sure the Apex hackers have no access to any personal player data :trumps

Anyone going to check in on the blue check who was saying the FBI were gearing up for attacks on all 50 state capitals, the likes of which has not been seen since 1/6, because Flynn was executing secret orders on parler 2 or some shit.

No?
