I couldn’t read any further, so thanks for more context. I would really love it if we’d share more open articles here so there is the full context to digest and discuss

I didn’t see anything in the article and the X embeds are just text to me, so here’s a video: https://youtu.be/cu9OnPo5IIE

If you like to stay in good spirits, don’t read the comments.

When I initially clicked on the article, it had related articles at the bottom, one of which explaining that the account is a satire account. It’s not there when I click the link again, but I did find it online

Yeah, Poe’s law also applies I suppose. Anything satirical is taken for truth by people that already believe or want to believe the thing being satirized. Or it already exists but worse, like you mention.

It’s satire

• this is a member only article so people are going to mention the (pay) wall
• this is about a tweet from 2020
• what does expressing overthrowing a country in 2020 have to do with c/technology?

It’s telling how you get downvoted, but someone saying the same shit about Apple in this thread gets upvoted.

I hate shitty practices like everybody else, but please keep them to the same standard.

Which is what everyone with some sense predicted, except Xitter exploded into drama from faking proof that it was directly copying Pokémon to claiming wild things like using gen AI to create the models.

These things are easily verified (or rather, debunked), but it was already too late. I lost a lot of faith in some gaming journalists as they kept perpetuating the wild takes and claims.

We’ll do this all again soon with another game and we will not learn from it.

As someone who found elementor the only thing that was working at the time - any suggestions to do better? I have no coding experience fyi

Is the porpoising caused by regulations? I’ve understood it as teams not wanting to make alterations to prevent loss of aero, but they are able to fix it if they wanted to (like other teams).

I had it on the gamecube, but to play multiplayer you each needed a gameboy with link cable, still.

This could be explained by the use of the GBA screen when in caves and buildings, but it’s a very easy method to fleece the fans while the general public will go “never mind, not worth”.

Yuengling is a type of beer. I had to look it up. Funny pun if you’re in the know

There has been no delaying, only TotK itself was delayed by a year.

That sounds pretty good. Kinda like Terra Nil but you’re tasked with “cleaning up” cities by rezoning them and stuff. Could be educational, a simulation, or both.

Maybe we should organise a game jam that’s about finding alternative transport solutions

I see the problem, it looks like Amazon. Stop shopping there

Yup, perfect time to clear some stock

Don’t worry, we’ll all be able to purchase the game on Switch 2, eventually. And anyone who missed it or wants to play it again will pick it up. Everybody wins, except our wallets!

Yep, I was only summarizing their angle. Here are the specifics for anyone who wants to read the source documentation: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3

The only thing that doesn’t sit right with me is developers stating Steam threatened to delist the game when they expressed wanting to sell elsewhere. I haven’t seen any proof except just the statements, but it would be weird for a developer to lie about that stuff. If anyone has any more sources on that, it would be appreciated

That’s exactly what they’re trying to say. It could have been cheaper if Valve didn’t have pricing clauses that doesn’t allow developers to price things cheaper elsewhere.

Great list, pretty much my childhood. I’ll add some more:

• Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1/2
• Empire Earth 1/2
• Civilization II
• Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
• Theme Park (World?)
• Populous: The Beginning
