Ah Paradox is finding their model of releasing unfinished games and getting around to solving it later less appealing!
That is a little disappointing, actually, as Paradox made some damn good games this way. Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris were all made like that.
Looks rather similar to Shapez 2.
Thank goodness the program told me I have value after Tyler stopped replying once I showed him my asshole.
… did someone mess up the AI prompt to generate the thumbnail? Maybe I didn’t read carefully enough but why is it Stargate instead of Star Wars?
Buddy if I buy Panther Marten lures off Ali Express or from Dicks they come from the same factory in the same packaging at the same quality, but one costs $1.12 and the other $7.99.
It’s being manufactured in China anyway, I’m just avoiding the beak wetting Dicks and Walmart do to pay their shareholders.
Plus it ain’t like the US actually has any qualms with slave labor, just look at all the industries that take advantage of prison labor in the States.
Bullshit! I wanna buy cheap fishing gear for a tenth of the cost at Dicks.
Better get some rods and reels en route before this goes into effect.
I’ve got a flagship Samsung device from 2020. The screen has cracked in an unimportant way on the front and over one of the camera housings on the back, but I can’t even tell which camera is affected by it, so I guess I didn’t need that one anyway.
Hate the camera bumps. Sucks that those became standard.
I was looking into getting a new phone but it just seems like a waste of money.
The Huawei devices look good and for a fair price, but I can’t even get them in the USA. So… I guess I keep this?
The foldable looks kinda useful for reading and in use with a stylus, but they’re so much money… and I bet that thing gets dust in it and scratches easily.
Have phones gotten any new exciting features in a while?
I remember enjoying upgrading my phone in the aughts and early tens, but it seems like most devices have plateaued and they’re all pretty much the same now.
The exception being foldables, but I’m not really sure that’s something I want or would use fully.
We talkin’ DS9 post-TNG Trek, Disco or SNW here?
Star Trek The Next Generation Final Unity is one of the best Star Trek games made to date. It’s a point and click adventure game that essentially has you going through a long episode of Star Trek with a few different set pieces and plots.
I think many video games miss the point of Star Trek and fail to capture the spirit of the show, but this one tells a story that could have been a handful of episodes.
What a bizarre article…
Framing a game release as a political soft power move is pretty bonkers stuff.
Do people say these kinds of things when big games come out of other countries? Was Disco Elysium an Estonian attempt at exerting subtle global dominance?
What do you fear are the tangible consequences for US elections of tankie takeover of leftwing spaces on reddit?
There’s some dedicated KSP2 fans and a modding scene of sorts there, but I personally prefer 1 and I would never recommend someone pay for 2. Tho they could try and play it anyhow. It’s a shame the development stopped, I think it had the bones to be better than KSP1.
When I wanna play KSP, I boot up CKAN and play KSP1, for what that’s worth
Fuck Take-Two, after what they did to KSP2 they should crumble to dust. Ain’t buying shit from them ever again and neither should anyone else until they learn a lesson.
Bit dramatic but hey fair enough!
I dunno I think that’s a tad conspiratorial… lemmy is a pretty small audience upon which to launch state sponsored disinformation campaigns. It’s a far simpler explanation that it’s just some dork annoyed at bot comments, which makes sense tbh, it’s just easy to solve by blocking the bot.
I get it’s annoying to see a comment on almost every news article shared that contributes nothing to a conversation, but you can also just block the bot and be done with it.
I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.
I keep thinking “They killed Battleborn for this??”
Baffling that they canceled the project when the target audience for such a game is so hungry for something other than an EA product.
I woulda thought that Paradox would have the right stuff to do a Sims-esque game considering their experience with character driven emergent storytelling in Crusader Kings.
Truly a watershed moment for the enshittification of microtransactions
