There’s not for me but it’s probably the app formatting, using Summit rn, I’ll check with Thunder

I would love a dungeon that connects to the back of someone’s house in a town. Or one part in town that is kind of more Outside-like, like a little forest in there. Or maybe something that’s like 50% dungeon, 50% town.

I want the borders of these places to be a little blurrier

Play Minish Cap!

Be aware of this comment by user Aggressive_Rope_420:

"I am automatically suspicious of articles by lesser-known publications that have an explosive title but very little sourcing.

This entire thing is based on a tweet by “vx-underground”.

I am not saying he is lying, but IMO this is a “grain of sault” situation until more sources confirm (or disprove).

Edit: The article is also full of deceptive links that look like sourcing but if you check - aren’t. For example:

Ubisoft has expressed gratitude for the patience shown by the player base while they deal with these unprecedented challenges (…)

“Ubisoft” is a hyperlink which one would assume leads to some form of statement by the company about the incident. But it doesn’t. It leads to an unrelated article: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/nintendo-switch-2-vrr-breakthrough-ubisoft-targets-stutter-gamers-hate-1765538

The entire thing looks sketchy."

From the About page:

"No Games For Genocide is a group of game workers, activists, union organisers, and journalists who care about the games industry, Palestine, and all people living under the violence of colonialism and imperialism. We want to expose and work to end the material and commercial ties between the games industry and the military industrial complex, with a particular focus on Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The games industry’s complicity in normalising the presence of the military, and even in the development of military technology, has gone on for too long. Whether it be through the racist, militaristic content of the games themselves, having military recruiters at eSports events, or games being developed as military training simulators, there is a deep connection between games and genocide that needs to be broken. There are even games companies that work with businesses that directly benefit from or support Israel and its military.

We not only need to actually have conversations about how these games studios profit from financial links to genocide, but to take action against them. There is no place for genocide in the games industry, and we are committed to pushing against this complicity."

In the case of Mario it’s a smart way of handling the limited data available, its not a duplicate texture like Helldivers, its the same cloud copy pasted just with a different color.

From what I understand Helldivers had the same files duplicated multiple times so that HDD could find them easily (somehow)

Hey my name is Sam too

Yeah bad wording on my part, sorry for the confusion !

Blame your users instead of your business partners

Their initial switch from a pve only game was motivated by data and metrics that showed them it was a better choice to make an extraction shooter (they said themselves somewhere that the game just wasn’t fun). I trust they made the right call, so I would say a pve only mode in Arc Raiders would dillute the tension of each round played.

That being said, I’m also very risk averse, so I dislike the pvp part of the game. While I think its a necessary part of the gameplay, and that it brings awesome uncertainty and adrenaline, I think Embark should try and create incentives for more cooperation between players, encourage pvp as a conscious, intended, risky choice rather than a reasonable option when encountering other players.

From Tech Test 2 to the current Server Slam, they’ve apparently buffed the robots/arc enemies strength, I think that’s a step in the right direction, even if I haven’t personally noticed a change 🤷‍♀️

Roll for initiative

Its probably the one I’m looking forward to the most, I wonder how it compares to Jusant

“We can’t put a date on Doomsday, but by looking at the 5,000 years of [civilisation], we can understand the trajectories we face today – and self-termination is most likely,” says Dr Luke Kemp at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge.

“I’m pessimistic about the future,” he says. “But I’m optimistic about people.” Kemp’s new book covers the rise and collapse of more than 400 societies over 5,000 years and took seven years to write. The lessons he has drawn are often striking: people are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites, while past collapses often improved the lives of ordinary citizens.

Today’s global civilisation, however, is deeply interconnected and unequal and could lead to the worst societal collapse yet, he says. The threat is from leaders who are “walking versions of the dark triad” – narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism – in a world menaced by the climate crisis, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence and killer robots.

Had the same situation as you, yet to be resolved, thankfully I’m still logged in the ea desktop app, but I basically gave up on ever taking back full control of my account.

Google doesnt allow that, I believe
