I beat Kingdom Hearts 1 last week, so this week I’m doing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories! I think I’m about halfway through now, just finishing floor 12 I think, but the battle’s been rough on me to say the least. I think I’m gonna need to grind up some cards and levels today to get past it.

Unity: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! YOU DON’T KNOW THE FULL STORY
Devs: You’re charging us based on how many times a game gets installed and reinstalled, or opened in streaming services?
Unity: Oh so you do have the full story. What’s wrong with that?

Plainly, whoever’s at the head of this doesn’t understand developers or the industry, and is likely refusing to listen to their subordinates.

X/Tweet/thing from Stephen Totilo

NEW - I got a major update from Unity about their new fees

• Unity “regrouped” and now says ONLY the initial installation of a game triggers a fee
• Demos mostly won’t trigger fees
• Devs not on the hook for Game Pass

This is a truly pathetic attempt to save face. Fuck Unity, its now proven definitively that they cannot be trusted for current and future projects. The only thing they’ll learn from this is to not be so loud about these sorts of changes.

Housing should be a human right, but now it’s not even a utility; it’s a luxury good for the wealthy that even the poor must find a way to afford.

This is a Lemmy instance, I’d recommend posting Lemmy-formatted links (!game@instance.xyz) here, and kbin-formatted (@instance.xyz@game) links in a kbin-hosted instance.

When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.

I know about the following and will be adding to this list with links people comment with:

I did edit it out, I didn’t realize they’d deadnamed her and while I’m fine with relaying drivel, I’m not fine with perpetuating deadnaming

It’s too funny, I can’t stop laughing at it.

• Majora’s Mask: a 3-day timeloop where everything resets when you go back

• Katamari: A giant ball gets rolled around and collects stuff forever

• Baba Is You: Movable text is rules to the game

• Untitled Goose Game: You have to piss people off the right way

• Billie Bust Up^[unreleased]: Musicals tell you upcoming platforming challenges

• Celeste: every time you die you quickly reset on the same “page”/small tile of map

• Splatoon: you shoot at the ground to go faster, hide, and/or win

• Odama: real-time tactical wargame pinball

• Golf Story: Golf-based fetch quests

It’s available on github too https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android/releases/tag/v0.1.6

I’m aware, but it’s still supported, and that’s enough for me to vomit over a garbage product.

They say they won’t implement Google’s DRM but words alone do not matter. If they continue to use Chromium, they’ll be forced to adopt that and manifest v3.

I’ve not played enough of the other FF games since 7 to say with certainty, but FF7,12,14, and 15 were extremely explicit political dramas. That was their entire plots

It doesn’t, unfortunately. Programmers, animators, concept artists, designers, each need to unionize in order to leverage collective action grants at the bargaining table. With last week’s decision by the NLRB though, it’s certain to be easier than ever to get unionized. Still, the amount of coordination it gets to even petition the NLRB to have your union recognized is no small feat. Just now it’ll be that much more difficult to bust a union election

Dropout.tv (formerly CollegeHumour) is also an unstruck company.

Brave fucks with crypto. Never fuck with crypto. It’s also Chromium, which means they’re complicit in Google’s efforts to DRM the internet.

Fair! The og was about Square “shooting themselves” in the foot over releasing FFXIII on the 360. It’s one of my favs

It’s a 15 year old copypasta lol

Sony just shot themselves in the foot.

I don’t know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I’m an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It’s not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want PlayStation+, nor will they purchase any of Sony’s games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move. Sony, publicly apologize and cancel your 30% price hike for PS+ or you can kiss your business goodbye.
