right, the characters are amazing, the first cinematic they released brought people to tears

#

it's universes apart

queen vale
#

Yep

queen vale
#

They've also (Sensibly) locked down their discord so you have to have an account and I think verify before you can get in, as I imagine people were flooding it

lofty wind
#

they still have a discord?

small berry
#

smh

queen vale
#

Yep, they're planning on keeping it up despite the game going down to keep the community engaged and something else, I can't remember

peak folio
#

The discord is probably a disaster

queen vale
#

Not sure, you can only post once every 6 hours on the "open" channels you get when joining and have to go through accepting rules, etc before getting to the "community" side, and their bot moderation's killing things like people spamming emojis, repeating messages and such

small berry
#

They will Re-release Concord, that's why it's open

#

If anyone doubts they will Re-Release it, you should think about it

queen vale
#

If they do they are going to have to practically re-build it from scratch :/
It'll have to be F2P and have one hell of a hook to draw people in, especially after such a public disaster

peak folio
#

It would be stupid for them to not at least try relaunching it at some point, since it’s reportedly a perfectly fine game.

small berry
#

some characters will be removed, flashy new ones will take front, they'll make microtransactions and release it f2p

#

easy

#

But it probably needs a slightly different art direction.

A bunch of heroes with furry style color schemes… yeah idk

The nice thing about indie games is investors often come in knowing it may take four or five games before one of them takes off.

small berry
#

The problem is that these games try to market for everyone, casuals and competitive people, that will be a titanic task to pull

And they all look like this

I don’t think those take too much investment.

#

Palworld "worked" cause they knew what their public is and knew what it wanted, Concord saw a "public" and said, "Chabuduo"

#

as in "Good enough" "almost"

peak folio
#

You never know where the next hit will come from.

small berry
#

Concord is the essence where the expression Chabuduo comes from

olive seal
#

Idk , I imagined a more action game with Pokemon but instead got ark reskinned (which surpringly was amazing)

queen vale
#

Chabuduo

Depending on its context, 差不多 “Chabuduo” can be translated as “close-enough, almost, just about, approximately, etc.” Literally, it means, “Difference not much.”

small berry
#

Just close enough to resemble something, but lacking everything that makes it that

queen vale
#

For those of us who don't know the fancy words

That actor acts like a kid and it is said he will outlive all of us

That he is immortal or something like that

small berry

Secretly the entire country thinks he's a Vampire

#

"The fact that he has been for so long on television without having aged significantly has given rise to all sorts of jokes and memes about him being immortal, a robot, a hologram[2] or even a Zombie as seen in Fox TV ad for The Walking Dead."

If they were to release crossplay they would likely be testing it closer to full release, given that single and single platform multiplayer need to be smoothed out first

even if the game wasn't a 10/10 I think every publication has an incentive to say 10/10

#

Concord got a 7 from IGN 😂

small berry
#

that too

olive seal
small berry
#

The logic is that past scores affect future scores

#

so they can't give a game a 6, cause a 6 is reserved for mediocre games

#

if they give a game a lower score than 5 then they're basically making a hitpiece and ruining the reputation of the game, in theory

humble parrot
#

The game ruined itself.

#

They just made themselves look like they got paid by Sony

small berry
#

right, but the game journalism industry still has these weird norms

small berry
#

TIL that there's this thing in china with license plates, apparently in Chinese most number letter combinations like that can mean actual things

#

Apparently the combination 2B means something like stoopid, and 9 is something like "really" so 2B92B means something like, stoopid, really stoopid

#

or another one, 2B458 which means something like stoopid fool is my father

#

That's quite interesting

humble parrot
#

2B didn't like that

small berry
#

oof

#

I bet that didn't translate well to china, apparently it's a very rude way of calling someone stoopid

#

but it is kinda cool that you can practically type in code in chinese sorta effortlessly

#

to anyone that doesnt know chinese it looks like license plates, to someone that knows chinese it can mean something

Why are football managers so confusing

So many things to take care of

I wanna focus on team dynamics and boosting aspects of players and the team, why is everything about the club also simulated and practically minimum simulation happens with players progression

# small berry Why are football managers so confusing

what my football manager playing friend said:

It's a good question. The most you can do for player development is to play them basically.
He needs to go into individual development training
And speak with the coaches. There you can kinda focus on what they're actually developing on.
But the chat stuff is awful and they're removing that the next game

small berry
#

there's so few metrics that are actually useful short term, that you should be aware of, it's really too slow paced

#

you need to lose a lot before you start winning, seeing numbers go up and mean something, I want to like it, but I can't enjoy it

#

I'd like to see more personality in the characters to be honest, positive traits and negative traits that are not common and have actual ramifications

#

like ronaldo having a big ego and causing issues with the team cohesion if not handled well

#

I guess I'd like more realistic drama

Humanity has more than enough with weed and alcohol, I don't even count caffeine

Xanax kinda ruined drugs for me cuz none of the legal ones felt “strong enough “

olive seal
#

Not anymore but it still takes a large dosage of anything for me to feel anything

small berry
#

don't normalize such things, you won't have that problem

#

if you find a group of friends and you party every weekend, you wont last very long doing certain things

olive seal
#

Which kinda sucks

small berry
#

that's probably cause you're doing it on a monthly basis and not giving time for your body to fully withdraw

olive seal
#

No no I swear I take wayy longer than that 😭, like my last time with weed was at least three months ago

small berry
#

I think it should be back to normal in a couple years

#

as far as I understand tolerance goes down with every single drug if you don't take it for long enough

olive seal
#

Only for social gatherings

small berry
#

I think that's cheating, I try so hard to not make social gatherings that sort of things tbh

unless we're talking about something planned, without driving and all sleeping together ( in the same house) for safety

#

Well it’s hard not to when everyone there smoking weed, doing shots, taking edibles and having energy drinks with alcohol 😭

#

small berry
#

that's why I don't do social stuff for the most part anymore, to me, social gatherings has become something that I only enjoy if we're talking transcendental stuff like history or politics or pretty much anything that helps you grow intellectually, I freaking "choke" wih small talk and tribalist dynamics

We can be cooking some food and talking about life and stuff, that's way more than enough

struggling with waking up I'd call it a separate thing

I think that's something that is way more subjective

ive always found it hard to both get to sleep and wake up

#

caffeine at least helps with shifting the brain fog in the morning

#

and im not sure it actually makes it harder to get to sleep as it calms my mind

#

the real answer would probably to be go and get actual medication but that would require a level of organisation, energy, and persistence i am not capable of atm

small berry
#

brains are really a complicated thing, the cocktail of chemistry and routine makes every individual a puzzle hard to dechypher

#

my way of understanding things is trying to lower the amount of things that are most probably having a negative effect long term, I drink a lot of caffeine, but I also have days of low caffeine, I barely feel a difference when I drink one coffee to when I'm drinking 5

#

but I know I shouldn't be drinking 5 everyday

#

I don't try to do the same things when I'm on a low or high caffeine dosage, both have a "purpose"

humble parrot

I drink a maximum of 2 cups per day

Of coffee

I bought an indie game that’s like a Doom-inspired mix, but harder. It combines Doom’s style with RPG elements and a Resident Evil 5-style campaign, where you have to repeat previous missions or you’ll be in trouble. Plus, you need to find hidden chests or you’ll face penalties. For 8 bucks not bad ig , plus has amazing apocalyptic industry punk style.

I know no one cares but I want to tell someone and don’t have anyone apart from my cat and even she get annoyed that I talk too much

Pretty much any mid-range rig should be able to handle Ark right?

humble parrot

No, ASA is the scam version and runs like shit on everything

small berry
#

Why is that acronym a thing

#

the point of using them so people will understand it anyway

humble parrot
#

Stands for Ark Survival Ascended

#

It's basically the same game but with microtransactions, pay2win and worse performance

small berry
#

they pulled an Epic and made a battle royale spinoff from their base game

humble parrot

A graphical upgrade is in there somewhere, but it runs so bad you don't really get it

Just rereleased the game again. A remake in early access

It still hasn't caught up in content to the old version

So a pseudo Ark UE5 and Ark UE4?

why type, equally, 3 letters but instead use a combination that 80% of people wont understand

aight, maybe just ark+

Because first of all, it’s not Ark+. Ark survival ascended is different and much worse than Ark survival evolved.

In other news, have you considered that when animals hunt prey they get both a meal and a blood juice bag, they get a whole menu, I've been trying to figure out what people mean when cats get most of their water in nature from what they eat and people feed domestic cats "wet" food, but there's no blood in it, it's not really wet, so, what do

#

is a chicken wing "wet" as in it will "hydrate" the cat, or is it bollocks

humble parrot
#

Cats just drink water, man

small berry
#

I've heard it's a considerable amount of their daily intake, last I checked it was attributed to what they eat

#

that's why domestic cats tend to be dehydrated and have kidney issues, they're not "wired" to drink so much water

#

thus they tend to forget

humble parrot
#

Maybe it's the climate here, but they just drink water

#

There isn't enough prey for 20 or so cats in a block

small berry
#

how much blood do you think an animal gets from their prey when they "consume" it?

#

I'm guessing it's not small amounts of blood

#

and logically blood is mostly water

humble parrot
#

So is water

small berry
#

right

humble parrot
#

Their tongues are particularly effective for lapping up liquids

small berry
#

they don't really think about hydration when eating a meal I'm pretty sure, but they do get hydrated

humble parrot
#

It has to be live prey to begin with

small berry
#

exactly

humble parrot
#

There simply isn't enough

small berry
#

thus why a cat more often than not will always want your water

My cat just tells me when he wants me to go with him to drink water. He has this pot with water in the sink, but he prefers company

Personally, everything looks great except for Windows 11. I would've prefered if you went for Windows 10. Not to be a contrarian, but it's because Windows 11 is notorious for having a lot of problems with GPU drivers in general.

It sounds like they wants to find a way to make it where those on Xbox have a way to also get them. Based on how they have done things so far, I think they will try to keep things exclusive that are meant to be as such. If they can't, Xbox may just have a grab shop

right, it's only a digital good if it's on the steam marketplace

These skins were never meant to be a big deal

When there's not enough trust between the issuer of anything and the holders, users, then maybe a digital contract would help, like it did in the physical world

[CRYPTO CHECK FAILED] Yeah so hate to break it to you guy but adding 2kb of unnecessary code promising extra super duper that this skin won't be made available for free doesn't change anything, pocketpair can just make it available for free anyway, the contract is meaningless
Technically there is already a "contract" on the steam item, the "not tradeable/not marketable" tags. This does not--and a crypto contract will not--stop pocketpair from giving it away for free by any number of methods
