in a shocking twist, cultures who believe themselves to be a part of nature tend to be much better at preserving it then cultures who see themselves as the owners of nature

the problem is the payment processors, not itch

unless you’re fine with crypto, sending cheques by mail or having everything be free, your new platform is gonna get the same problems once it’s big enough to be noticed

i wonder why they don’t just do it like they do subtitles, letting you change the audio track (between original and a few translated ones)

i know they can (or could?) do this for videos with manual translations, why not the automatic ones as well?

the point you are making is extremely valid but could you make it without using ableism please

except at least the commie blocks were affordable lol

“cheap to build” meant “cheap to rent”, not “our housing company is making record-breaking profits! 😃”

microsoft: we just fired entire studios that we bought recently. we are building a master collection of IPs to do nothing with other than passively profit off of them forever using game pass. part of this master plan is to cause large instability in the video game industry through aforementioned mass layoffs. also we are quite literally helping a genocide.

lemmy: oh. that’s kinda shitty but I liked oblivion remastered :)

nintendo: we made our game 80$

lemmy: if anyone even thinks about liking some of your stuff they should be burned at the stake.

<srs> obviously im exaggerating to make a point, and no if you ask I don’t like nintendo. fuck them. but I think the reaction here is a bit disproportionate. a company could do all the evil in the world but as long as they don’t touch the sacrosanct consumer, it’s all good in the eyes of a gamer! </srs>

that, or they teach that it’s over, it’s in the past, we must turn the page now; nothing we can do, after all!

or they’ll say that it was someone else’s fault. this is very popular in canada: the anglos blame the french and the francos blame the english

in case you (the reader) weren’t aware, the amount of Palestinians shot dead by the IDF while waiting for food has surpassed the amount of israelis who died on October 7th

think about this the next time someone’s like “but what about Hamas!!!”

GOG and itch’s approach to preservation is always gonna be limited by legality, you can’t keep a game on your platform if the publisher requests its delisting; ofc piracy isn’t constrained by this, so it’s inherently better at preservation

at least, since the games on there don’t have DRM, once you have them you keep them (and with GOG, you can also download offline installers that you can reuse on any computer you want). they make piracy (and therefore preservation) way easier in that way, because pirates don’t even need to repack the game!

i just use a debit card lol

commie blocks, but… they look good???

because the picture was taken during a sunny summer day instead of a cloudy russian winter like usual???

impossible!!!

the stats exist, you can check them instead of making shit up; the Latine vote was pretty close, but they still voted more for harris globally, tho i believe Latino men in particular voted ever so slightly more for trump

the only racial group who overwhelmingly voted trump, across men and women, and this is gonna SHOCK you!!, are whites.

whites voted for this; when are we rounding them up in concentration camps? when are we deporting them to europe?

thank you, I will!

thank you for your posts, it’s always a great time to read them!

i love that you share cool fan projects too! it’s inspiring me to make a physical collection for my GOG games, including actual DVDs with the games installers on them. most of the physical collection projects i see seem to only do the box, but i want to go all in!

take care 🧡

only Hypixel Studios, the dev studio behind Hytale that was bought by Riot, is shutting down

the Hypixel server isn’t going anywhere (for now, at least)
