I don’t know if this has anything to do with the ddos. It’s just the controversy I came across before the release. It might be connected, but it also might not.

They forced unusual guidelines in the second half to influencers and streamers who have received a key from them.

That was so much fun!

It historically stands for computer RPG. Because back in the days of the first role playing games transferred to computers calculating the dice roles, damages and other attributes. It was the distinction to tabletop games. Nowadays there are so many RPGs that I find the distinction lacking. The better term now would be classic RPG, because there are many computer action adventure RPGs, whereas the tabletop approach digitalised, like bg3, RPGs refer to the initial or, in better terms, classical RPGs.

In game science studies it is taught as classic RPG, in contrast to the more “modern” RPGs like Mass Effect or The Witcher.

Oh my god! I adored Jade Cocoon! I need another dark, exciting, hopeful, sad story driven monster merging game like Jade Cocoon! Alone the catching mechanic with the various music being played to calm the souls of the beasts … Oh man, I already forgot I need a game like this, now I feel lost again. Unsure of how to fill this void.

This game however seems to use merging more like the fusion games of Yu-Gi-Oh or Persona. In Jade Cocoon I enjoyed the transferring of body parts, shape and colour of each creature. It made it more personal.

Well, to be more precise, vegan stands for the lack of an animal’s influence in a product. This distinction is important as mushrooms/fungi are not categorised as simple plants, vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts and so on.

Who needs a map?

Yes, Sona. :)

Only you can hear me, Summoner. Which masterpiece shall we play today?

It ends at wave 20 with

It takes quite a lot of time to repeat all the wrong doings of Epic and it’s CEO Tim.

Thus, I can only relay to the collected information of bad old Reddit, if you want to (I’m intentionally not linking, you can search it up easily). r/fuckepic has a lot of collected information on their side page.

In short, biggest issue for me exclusivity contracts with games advertised on Steam, then as a bait and switch removed from the store page and their physical copies getting a sticker on top of the Steam logo, so a last minute deal, for Metro Exodus. And then they continued their exclusivity hunt for games, they didn’t even helped to develop. Nothing against self-made or published games to be limited time exclusive in my perspective, but not second hand bought (out).

The other about their CEO, r/timcritizisestim He’s… a douche. Using kids with the free games to bait them to his store, using them against Apple’s store rules like a little army… he is a bad person with too much money and luck to have build the Epic engine with Fortnite…

I just learned you can create an account to track this! I am always a bit sad to see my progress being lost on cookie refreshes or whatever happens. Will change this as soon as possible. Thanks for highlighting that!

I don’t know where you live, but if you have these thoughts, please look for the various general helplines telephone numbers, where you can talk with people trying to help and support you and giving you access to a better life. It might not be easy to see for you right now, but it is out there.

I seem to have issues trying to convey my intention when I am highlighting why these industries use the term climate change now. I try it once more.

‘Climate is changing. It is something that has always happened. It’s natural. Climate change is completely normal.’ That is the implied meaning, especially by fossil fuel industries, which more than often try to shift the blame away from them by either making it a personal issue (carbon footprint) or describing it as a natural occurance. Intentionally ignoring their influence by burning resources and releasing damaging gases, raising temperatures, melting ice, damaging the saline conveyor belt.

I agree. Global warming is one aspect of many of our current climate crisis. And it will become worse when politics won’t restrict the reign of fossil fuel industries.

Calling it climate change implies it is of natural change. It belittles the criticality of the human induced influence. The fossil fuel industry knows exactly why they are calling it climate change and not climate crisis. Global warming is also, as much as climate change, scientifically correct, but let’s be honest. Since when does the industry care about scientifical facts? They use that in ill faith.

It’s not simply a climate change. It’s a coined term by the fossil fuel industry. Like BP introduced the individual carbon footprint, this one should also be ignored. It’s a climate crisis.

Sorry, btw. Just after I wrote the answer I saw that I had necro’ed the post. I’m not yet familiar with Lemmy and didn’t see it had been posted 2 years ago. Just saw it on ‘hot’ sorting and assumed it was recent.

NieR: Automata is pure love, joy, and sadness, mixed with action and philosophically induced emptyness.

And this quote is just the perfect example of how strong it starts.
