Thank you, but again, do the research if you feel its besmirching. Make you're own educated opinion as I have. All I know is I'll be watch closely at RoA2 going forwards.
getting back on topic, im sure offbrand will survive and RoA2 will certainly be fine
even if OBG goes under, RoA2 makes a ton of profit from the in-game store that Aether Studios could go indie, at least in the interim before finding a new publisher, if they want to
is Rivals of Aether 2 playing more like smash64? or what could I expect if I would play the game?
RoA2 is indie and a proven team at that so might not have difficulties finding a new publisher if that happened. Since money is tight in the world, whoever is above the CEO will just get someone else to keep productivity going. No one wants to scrap their hard work.
yeah i highly doubt RoA2 would get shut down even if the publisher got shot down, they likely already recieved funding and are only gietting more money from the store. they could easily make the transition to go solo
its not like when a publisher shuts down they are forced to discontinue all projects, esp since the devs still own the Aether brand IP
I bought rivals of aether 1 and didn't like it, because it was too much like melee, so I'm hesitant to even put Rivals of Aether 2 onto my wishlist.
@full mountain Let us hope the game publishers don't amass more power than they already have. Some are endeavoring to make this a reality while having millions of dollars seep through their greasy fingers from short-term gains. 😩
@solid sun RoA2 is akin to Melee whereas RoA1 is a 2D version of the SSB. A bit more refined though Zetterburn is annoying to fight. Even against a bad player.
ye
thanks, I will skip it.
Its not a one-to-one like Brawlhalla. There are a lot of differences so that the mechanics are more dependent on the fighter and their toolkit than the systems. I'd say its more challenging to play than RoA1.
I have a love-hate relationship with brawlhalla
but it's still better controlling than most platform fighters on pc.
I don't need challenging, I need good controlling over anything else
melee isn't challenging to control, it's controls are ass compared to smash 64
Whatever you do, don't go KB&M like I stupidly did. I treated the game like MUGEN and got whipped even when I tried to mimic the control scheme.
It does.
I main Orion
and I hate almost every new weapon except bow.
sphere is okay, but they overdid the signatures for most heroes, they are way too automatic and grabby.
I only have surface knowledge of Brawlhalla. No play experience so I can't relate unless there is a general fighting style the character has. Orion is a bow user?
no spear and lance
Not many of those in fighting games. Sounds fun if they use it as a movement tool too. 👀
The cloest example I can give is like Mai Natsume from Blazblue.
I usually hover around high gold, because I can't be bothered to suffer through the slop that is all of the Mordex spammers.
Scythe and Gauntlets, two of the most boring weapons to play against.
So many easy strings to rake in damage.
you're comparing an anime fighter with a platform fighter
I hate anime fighters, worst controls ever.
I mean her fighting style with a spear not game types.
Faust from Guilty Gear might have been better...
I prefer Tekken-likes when it comes to fighters, 3D fighters all the way.
I played Dragonball Z Budokdai 3 a lot, my favorite 3D fighter tbh.
jumping is best in Smash64, no 3D or 2D fighter has come close to how good jumping feels in that game.
jumping in those games feel so terrible.
Well, it is a party game too, there should be some fun in the fighters' movement including jumps. I agree.
Lately, I've been getting a feel for the workshop fighters in RoA1 and a good portion of them are well thought-out.
This one is particularly creative but sadly didn't make the cut to be official like Olympia. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3117219382
This year, Mother Nature decided to celebrate the 4th of July above my house. Two storms of decent strength crashed into one another above my neighborhood, and the result was rain coming down by the bucketloads, a tree in my yard snapping halfway up the trunk and falling, and the lightning gone berserk. It has now cleared off. With everything all wet, there will be no restrictions placed on fireworks in my county this year.

Kinda amusing how one ex-Blizzard person has boosted the initiative by accident (intentionally lol.), must be funny it backfired at him.
Sorry to hear she decided to ruin a day of celebration for you. At least you have the holiday weekend to make up for it. 🫂

I mean that's american television in particular
while there is crossover to what was shown here, I feel like I could come up with a much more varied list.
According to the Seattle Times, Microsoft laid off 15,000+ employees in 2025 to free up spending for AI.
"Investing heavily in AI infrastructure and products at the cost of everything else is proving popular amongst shareholders"
Feel bad for Xbox devs.

but... you spend less on AI unless you're getting scammed by snake-oil people
YEAH ELFILIN
YAY
WOO
And then one of the heads of Microsoft recommended using Chat GPT to the fired people for career and emotional guidance 🤦♂️
which is then going to tell the human that it is no longer needed and worthless as AI will replace everything.

When did memes become off topic memes
When the memes were not on the topic
That’s a funny looking Fuddler
When we're they ever lol
It’s usually a good idea to have a bucket for that nonsense 
Palworld memes not being in the Palworld section interesting but eh
I guess no one would check for it there so maybe this is better.
they are topic adjacent
there's a Bucky for everything

Bucky probably did it so people would post palworld memes in #palworld-memes but, it seems it did not work

John Cena first human confirmed, huh? 
Why does he look like John cena but constipated?
Because the fellow who tweeted that felt like posting it there.

sega/sqenix why 
Not surprised to find Nintendo there...
So much for the family friendly developer. 
I misread that and somehow thought it said "for" and was very shocked by what I was reading and wondering how it was supposed to be no surprise to anyone.
Had to re-read xD
How do you know what John Cena looks like can you actually see him?

Please seek mental health if FF9R doesn't get announced :(
Well they missed the July 7th window so it’s really just hopium for an October announcement
I saw what you sent in memes about FF9R
Haha that was just a meme from Reddit
What is there in October?
sorry, I'm like the worst person to ping for memes. I don't get them
Some game event. I don’t track all the big game conventions
I saw others mention October but I honestly don’t know
I’m in my 30s and just played FFIX with some really sweet mods recently. No fear of mental health issues on that front haha. I know a lot of people were really upset by this though
Basically it's a representation of how the EU's Stop Killing Games movement would force those companies to comply with what we want for that initiative
25 years and all they got was a month of art releases, a video montage, expensive figurines and a soundtrack vinyl
MTG set didn’t even have an FF9 commander
At least you're safe :)
FF6 commander set failing to sell hurts my soul though lol it’s the only one in stock at any store I go to
it would change gaming for the better as we know it.
Like just compared to physical board games, you buy them once, and then they are yours, if a piece goes missing, you like either take one from your other game, or you make the friend you don't like use that colour.
And, if you have some idea how to House Rule a game or make custom additional material for it, you're allowed and free to do so.
Toaster, real talk, what kind of toaster do you have? Do you even eat toasted bread?
What bread do you toast?
I use my oven to toast bread o.o
I don't have the counter space for a toaster o.o
Embed fail, ignore that
Is this also a metaphor for modding in games?
I guess that could be considered modding a game yeah, didn't think of that.
I am the toaster
I mainly toast bread cut in those traditional slices we see in a stereotypical looking piece of bread
But I can also toast a whole sandwich 
Hell yeah!
It's nice when a company doesn't hate us for modding a game we already paid for 
😔
I'm sorry to hear that
If I buy a console or a game, I want to be able to do whatever I want to it. It belongs to me now.
But, if I do something stupid to it and break it, I fully understand I gave up right to the company fixing it bc what I did was outside the scope of normal use.
I should also be aware that if I alter what I've purchased in certain ways, I may not be able to access certain multiplayer functions.
Imo, that should be understood between the consumer and the seller o.o
Being told I can't do what I want with something I bought in any capacity by the seller sounds insane to me.
See that's because you're not buying the game anymore
I don't think we have been buying the game for actually a very long time
We don't own things anymore
Even on discs I'm pretty sure you only own the physical object
Legally
The data on it isn't yours the same way your table is yours
I've taken many games back when I've placed the disc in the console and it has said I've had to download the entire game >.>
That's like every console game now lol
Yeah discs that store 50 70 80 90 gigabytes of data are unreasonably expensive when you have to download the day 1 patch anyway
Gaming is fckin ridiculous now lol
You're just like buying permission to use their servers
I'm very outdated on consoles bc I didn't have the internet to buy new ones :p
Heck, half my PS3 games didn't work bc my internet connection wasn't good enough to connect to the PS thingy so it wouldn't let me play them bc of some verification thing
Why even bother with that formality of reading inevitably outdated unusuable data off an expensive disk when we can read the licensing data (the only part that matters) and download the actual up to date software
And make the disc cheaper
The Switch 1 was the last console where the physical games were actually truly physical (not counting patches/updates and DLC, of course)
I have a bunch of GameCube, N64, SNES and GBA games, I know I own those, but that's basically it
I think my PS3 is the newest console I own 🤔 and I bought that refurbished
No you don't!
You own a disc or cartridge, which contains a copy (you don't own that data) and a license to use that copy as is defined under some legal rules nobody on earth reads
For example you aren't allowed to copy the data, because it isn't yours
I could play the definitive edition of those games, out in the woods on a backup generator, or a GBA with AA batteries, to me that's close enough
No servers, no patches
The change is that instead of shipping the entire game (expensive, and the data would be out of date even by the time it arrives as a preorder) they ship you the important part, the license to download and play it
Of course a lot of companies know that they now have closer access to kill switches and think that this entitles them to treat customers like crap, and games like disposable cups
But like a lot of digital platforms (except Xbox) are basically like "yeah we have no reason to believe you're lying so we'll run the game even though we can't authenticate with our network"
However if someone spills coffee at Microsoft no one is allowed to play Xbox games that aren't on disc until it's fixed
Sometimes even physical copies won't work because the Xbox console is hopelessly dependant on daddy Microsoft telling it how to breathe
Why is everyone saying this?
I don't get it
John Cenas catchphrase is "You can't see me!"

I mean, on one hand, I as an aspiring game dev, am conflicted with the Consumer doing whatever they want with my game, because like, You don't rewrite a book, you don't rewrite/cut a movie.
I guess it depends on the nature of the game too, if it's some sandbox experience, sure I can see that, but if it's some Narative experience with carefully placed items to progress the power level not too hard, like say Ocarina of Time as example, you still have a lot of choice in there in what order to progress, modifying the game to give yourself a Jedi Lightsaber or some heatseeking missiles, I dunno it just is not the experience intended by the creator.
So I'm a but torn how I stand to modding as a whole, I personally would 100% make a debug tool that tells me if someone had modded the game to not try to bother with trying to fix their issue they created, because I personally can't be bothered, as many of you said, "your game your problems you created", I don't want to be held responsible to fix modding related issues.
Have a hard enough time wrangling my own code.
But games that support modding are fun, Rimworld, 300+ mods every time, but it's honestly the only game I play modded that's in my memory right now.
I generally play vanilla as they come, unless you need something to make the game work or fix some other performance issues.

Modifying the game is like, headcanoning a book or movie
The way we interact with games as a media is different from how we interact with books or movies
for books and movies, the interaction (besides physically reading/watching) is all in our head
MOvies kinda blur it, but there's still a lot of abstraction going in the viewer's mind
But with video games, well, you play the game
Sometimes you'll read a book and think about the implied lore and be like "I don't like that" or there just won't be much clarity and you fill in the gaps yourself
Same with a movie
Sometimes we do this as a very serious like, headcanon
Other times it's just a funny joke like haha what if guy and other guy were like this between these two scenes
In order to do that with a video game, you may have to directly alter the runtime program, since a lot of what WAS abstract is now moving pixels and actions from you
I will personally just put a disclaimer into the game somewhere, that I can not help with any issues that happen if you modded the game.
And more importantly it is WAY easier
Modding most games is basically making more computer data to go with the existing computer data
Rewriting a book with headcanon is...where are you gonna fit that on the page?
And a movie? How many people even have a decent camera, much less special effects and sound mixing equipment?
We can inject our own headcanons, memes, and ideas directly into a video game without having the professional tools that would be needed to this for a movie, and it will mean more than putting a sticky note in a book
Anyway that's the philosophical part
For the logistics part, it is usually very easy to tell
I feel like it runs into the territory of "hey I'm fixing this persons art", which is a really huge iffy thing.
I think a lot of game engines will automatically log this kind of data
art as in paintings
Well most programmers I know would be reluctant to call their code "art"
And that's usually what people change when they call it a "fix"
I'm thinking of people replacing models and characters because they found them unappealing or wrong
Well if you used art as your profile picture or desktop wallpaper, would you choose art that you didn't like?
The game as whole, being art, is of course the sum of its parts, but it's not really important what those parts are, nor is it important that the sum be a specific result
When we engage with art like this, we abstract, process the source material
You may not do anything to a painting physically, when you look at it, but your brain does a lot to it, it takes all those tiny bits of paint on the canvas and transforms it into the image it wants to see
the scene it wants to see
In a lot of ways, modifying a game is very similar
What the developer envisions and what brings me joy are not ever going to be equal
To assume that either party must change their expectations, their goals, is absurd
The developer cannot rationally accomodate me, and if they did, what about literally anyone else?
Modding is the solution to this conundrum
I can play as Lunaris, people who want to play as a human (we call these people "lame") can do so
For me, it's always "I love this so much, I want it to be ✨perfect✨"
Some people just think it's funny, and there's no real valid reason to not let them have their fun, so long as it isn't hurting anyone else
Others see technical problems with how the game is programmed and do not want to wait for the developer to fix it (which can take years!)
It's a very diverse field but the general mentality is usually one of devotion and respect to the original game
After all, would I really spend 3 months learning 3d modelling and unreal engine modding if I didn't absolutely love palworld?
the answer is no, I would've just modded lunaris as the player character and moved on
Hello again 👋
sometimes, some games are not made for you, if I had a say, I would 'fix' jumping in every Anime Fighter, but that would probably upset everyone who has no issue with it.
So I just don't play those games.
I use one mod in Craftopia, a mod to make the inventory bigger, and I feel like I'm cheating by using that one mod 🥲
How big is the inventory
Very huge bro, it extends the Equipment, Consumable, Building, and Material inventories by like 3x or 4x
Which is good because my main is kind of a diva & needs lots of stuff
Completely dependant on that mod now NGL
Yeah let me just get a few thousand dollars and a professional team so I can make a game nearly identical to palworld but with lunaris as the main character
It'll take like 5 years and I will be sued for copyright infringement because I stole all the characters, but I didn't tread on a fragile notion that art can only be enjoyed in its original format
I should not be expected to simply not be fully satisfied simply because I'm an outlier
I mean yeah, changing the game entirely is like....maybe you should play a different game?
But maybe no other game is nearly as close to being perfect for the person?
What are they supposed to do, then?
Modding is a strange thing
As a user, you become addicted, like it's some kind of drug, you talk about vanilla as something boring and inferior
I think we just have different philosophies about this.
But as a creator, you become obsessed, like an artist who cannot stop drawing the same character in a mad hyperfixation,
the game is a masterpiece, the pinnacle of art, but that's not even good enough anymore, it must be without flaw
But at the end of the day, Modding is a way to bridge what I want in a game, with what actually exists
not everyone can write a whole book and connected worldbuilding, not everyone can film a movie that's tolerable to watch, and not everyone can make a video game on their own
we headcanon, remix, and mod to compensate, but in all of those cases we're engaging with the original media in a deeper, more profound way than someone who just turns on the game, plays to the end, and turns it off
While I do that for some things, sure, there are other books which are just so bad, they can just get a negative response and critique and I would never recommend anyone to read them.
same for some video games.
There's a gray area between not feeling any desire or interest in modifying a game and the point at which you should probably just play a different one
"Technical problems". A bit of a tangent I'm doing here, but lets be honest, 11/11/2011, Vanilla Skyrim Day 1, it had WAY more bugs and glitches than Vanilla Palworld. 😭 And Bethesda had like 300X the budget.
Is it more chill over here rn?
It pretty much always is
Duly noted
cute
when palworld will realized on switch 2 ?
Nothing was announced. Pocketpair already has at least one game on the Switch, though.
lmao
Nintendo would hire assassins if they could get away with it
imagine an alternate timeline where the Switch 2 was released in 2022 and palworld was developed for it
0 fps, the game crashes
Yeah the temperature went down after a small heatwave.

For me, the depression about games started with MMO games, I just suddenly noticed how shitty & MXT they were
To fully understand how different of a time 1983 was: two years prior in 1981 Galaga and Donkey Kong released in Arcades. In 1985 the NES released in the U.S.
And looking for MMO games with none of that, leads you to absolute dead garbage, or WoW Classic
I do like WoW Classic tho NGL
Ye
very fitting, 1984 must have been such a dark era for games
why can't they be non MTX-heavy, we already pay for subscription...
ikr?
Games now have macro-transactions, quick little buys that cost more than the game itself
i've been noticing more content in RS3 (whether it's good or bad is a different story, lmao)
I'm still flabbergasted that folks are still paying thousands for Star Citizen and see no issue with that. The devotion or stupidity is strong.
Yup, the devs are just using it to their advantage
But to what end? I know some creators in the past almost got away with using crowdfunding to sustain solely themselves instead of their product.
Until it all crashes down

Companies wanting people to actually destroy their stuff is wild, and it's like one of those biblical apocalypse signs, except for a game industry crash.
Also, I'd say Jagex/Runescape even considering placing customer support behind a layered membership/subscription model is another sign that the dark times be upon us.
melted smiling face emoji
Ubisoft went in record about what gamers should be comfortable with.
Runescape people are very irrational people, they shouldn't be pulling these stunts on them
The sad part is me and a few other folks who looked at Dragonwilds and were considering to make an account to play. Now dissuaded because of the baggage its accumulated.
I've played it, it's pretty good, but I know what you mean
Jagex doing the early access thing is scary
EA for...?
Dragonwilds
😕
I bet they do something scummy while in EA & get in legal trouble for it
But I'll stop being so peccemistic now 🫠
Sadly, the gaming industry has earned its pessimistic customer base. Folks don't like being fleeced.
You cannot be serious... There is barely anything offensive in this movie of all 90s comedy films. There had better not be Ace Ventura on their list.
I wonder how they’ll have to label a movie like Blazing Saddles.
pls be an ironic use of waifu
i have a folder on my desktop full of braixen art
its not
you find interesting people online

i mean i don't really see an issue, if you don't care about content warnings, you can just ignore it.
if that kinda humor makes you uncomfortable, then the warning did its job in warning you of its content
its a win-win
Less so it being a bother to me and more so the steady rise in oversensitivity towards [old] media. Hollywood does share a lot of the blame for this but its US culture on display unabashedly. For good and for ill. Alien (the first film) was starting to be associated with a certain 'w' word that thankfully got squashed. These were a product of their time...
I think you're overthinking things. When people go back to old media and point out some off-color things in them, they don't do so with the intent to brand such media as intolerable and unfit for anyone to watch and for them to be censored, its to more so examine how far we've come into understanding why certain depictions, themes, tropes, and jokes are exactly products of their times. There's nothing wrong with enjoying them still, its just important to know why certain movies can have elements that now-a-days would be a bit shaky
like in Rush Hour, the movie wasn't that bad or offensive but did have some funny depictions of certain types of people, the one that comes to mind is the "I am yu" scene
One of the scenes that made me crack up mostly because I've been in a similar situation before involving someone named Mi lol
That scene was in the third installment but, my argument still stands, a product of their time. There is no overthinking here.
This scene is top tier writing, btw, lmao
yeah exactly, i agree with you they're products of their time! my point was that i think pointing it out and providing a warning on said media doesn't harm anything, just lets those that are made uncomfortable with those kinda topics (by trauma or whatever have you) be aware and to avoid them if it sets them off so much
Well, I exclaimed my statement, I have no issue with the warnings if these are truly being changed/added.
yea
Lawd, if someone finds Rush Hour offensive, they might "die" from watching Black Lagoon (anime).
Ah, the better anime of the early 2000s.
The manga is still being worked on (volume 13 released last year), so there could theoretically be a new Black Lagoon anime season in the future.
😍
its silly, i'll agree, but its a "better safe than sorry" kinda thing
but iz ok
A shame that other early 2000s anime with similiar themes didn't even last for a season... I can't remember the name of it just that it had two guys as the MCs. One had white hair in a manbun and eyepatch I think and the other was a mute but kicked major ass. A bit of a sadist.
Found it: GANGSTA.
Sure. But like, Black Lagoon, I can't even quote the stuff from it, I would get banned from here. 💀
i get what you were saying
91 Days was another great anime. It got a little Sweeny Todd in one episode.
Yeah, I've watched Gangsta, was pretty good. But that is a different situation, the studio Manglobe Inc went bankrupt. While Black Lagoon had always just needed more manga volumes produced.
Tierlist of bears that acctually matter, based on strength
- Codiac Bear
- Polar Bear
- Brown Bear/Grizzy bear
- Black bear
I didn't hear of the situation until later in life which sucks because I was waiting for more. 😢
That tier list is going to change when scientists figure out how to revive a megafauna bear species.
I need to watch Baccano, and Darker than Black. Honorable mention for Hitman Reborn, but its nothing special.
Start with the funny albeit gruesome one: Baccano.
Hitman Reborn is good but starts to flounder in the later seasons. Darker than Black just made me depress.
Pfft, there is no greater depression than Akame Ga Kill.
I'm still hurting a solid 6 or 7 Years later. 
After finishing Edgerunners... I don't think I can watch another sad tale but its true to the TTRPG its based on. Very few get a happy ending.
Yeah, with Hitman, I heard that only eps 1 through 75 or so are worth watching. I've only seen about 25 eps.
Nah, nah, Edgerunners had a "Disney happy ending" compared to Akame Ga Kill. 💀
Same company, same expectations. I'm either going to be hit in the feels or too stunned to correlate a thought for about 30 mins.
Akame Ga Kill is so horrific, that after watching it, you could go turn on the news, hear that 5 people got shot and killed, and that would make you happy since it was "only 5".
To this day I somewhat regret watching Evangelion to completion as a pre-teen. It got me into studying Gnosticism, but my god, I think there is still some mental scarring.
Evangelion certainly has its melancholy to it.
Possibly the gentlest apocalypse depicted.
Though, I think Cowboy Bebop is actually more "bleak" than Evangelion is, if a person is old enough to truly understand everything in Cowboy Bebop.
It and OG Trigun were up there in being media you studied. It took me my second viewing to understand why Spike is a little too comfortable kissing death. I must have been under 18 at the time. Trigun took me a bit longer to get it. The new iteration added more from the manga to better explain the premise. Folks may crap on his design but its adorable in my eyes.
Cowboy Bebop is special in that, there's stuff for children, teens, and 25+ yo adults.
Gotta go through some difficult times as an adult, to fully.... grasp the show.
Life to be exact. Each of the crew gets their own episode that shows their background or fleshes out their characters. I felt pity for Edward though showed she isn't hapless through her knowledge of tech.
Even the dog is more fleshed out than a normal pet.
Its nice when an anime doesn't relegate a token animal/pet to a minor role such as product placement.
hey does anybody know why servers are missing

Totally off topic, but has anyone else noticed the wave of preaching about god on tiktok? I turned it into a game of blocking the accounts that comment on tiktok vids about god since tiktok is not a church 
I would have to have or look at that app to know o.o I am in ignorant bliss.
"totally off topic" they say, in the off-topic chat, where there is literally no active conversation

A pizza place called Cicis, they are a pizza buffet, serves chicken and waffles pizza :p
Funny enough, the waffle and chicken were terrible, but the tiny bit of syrup wasn't bad on the pizza xD
I think the syrup just blended well with their type of sauce. Definetly would not recommend with just any kind of pizza sauce and mozzarella.
Downloaded the horsegirl game, its impossible to take seriously

One of the reasons users get wrong answers is how it is trained. The AIs are trained to do what they can to get a positive response from the user.
This caused them to simulate lying in a way. If it couldn't figure out the answer by the algorithm, it made it up to satisfy the condition.
So, I can see it seemingly have self preservation bc it is probably told different backups in case of issues and deemed that threat as one of the issues.
What game is that?
It's basically a boomer shooter with a hyperfocus on mobility and being cool.
UltraSkill
It literally has an ability where you flip a coin and shoot the coin with your pistol to reflect the bullet off of the coin towards an enemy.
UltraPeak, u name it
Still its good news that there is momentum.
it's slowed down a bit recently, after breaching the 1million.
Because that’s the primary goal.
yeah, and I assume people didn't hear of potential Illegal activity of spoofing signatures.
this I could see would have hurt the initiative the most.
Soon the publishers will protest that the production of new games will be suspended
They just won’t release in the EU
🎂
They already are in a recent response (or the lobbyist response).
Not to mention there is bleating rn about Gamepass being detrimental. Whether true or not, the gaming industry is under heavy fire this year. Karma has caught up.
It will soon be the case that players will buy games blindly, but Game Pass saves them from scams
In the past, pre-release games were released as demo versions on discs, but now there is Early Access subscriptions or even Game Pass subscriptions.
They already do and, sadly, are pointing at Nintendo's playerbase as an example of "mindless consumers, not customers". I get the frustration but a lot of folks are uneducated/uncaring fans so long as they are or their kid is entertained.
I remember when Microsoft from Windows 10 to older games stopped working, there are supposedly patches but some are bugged like controls in the game.

So... a certain Donkey Kong record holder is beefing with PS... Likely someone hacked his account.
Year-over-year spending on games has declined almost 25% among 18-24 year-olds

The crash is imminent
Brace for impact
Seems like it/I hope so
I really do
Xbox just axed
people
I don’t expect this to suddenly stop.
Ngl there’s a lot of bloat
But that drop in spending with the younger audience… could have implications
While steam does a great job filtering slop via it's own search system. I think steam it's self is going to start getting more selective as a storefront soon if there is a crash. Customers are getting picky now.
Can you really blame them? Less hours, less pay, job-seeking for a second or third, lack of sleep, more stress, etc.
Year over year, that’s a big change
Quality matters too. I decided to stop chasing games my friends play for a month and drop for the next thing and focus on my backlog.
Turns out when you ignore friendslop and meme games you have time to check out some real honest to god good AA games.
There is always humble bundle if random games are wanted anyways o.o
As for the Steam store, I would like the sale page to remember my settings xD
I could see that happen, and would be super annoyed, and that would yet be another reason to move to Japan, despite it's also insane game prices.
You mean the guiness world record holder whose record is under Asterisk listed on Twin Galaxies?
As Raider had already mentioned, I believe it has way more to do with people struggling to pay rent and buy food, than with the quality of games coming out.
The thing is it isn’t a general difference between demographics, this is the difference this demographic has seen between Q1 2024 and Q1 2025.

Real Poogie energy
Sounds he’s gonna upgrade his gaming PC.
Everyone hold onto your socks, Amazon is gonna have a rocky ride!
Well, a rep of his came to PA where I live and is investing in some sort of Amazon project here. He might be readying to make a buisness shift into AI. We got a big power plant though the nuclear one is by Lake Erie. Its kind of an odd endeavor.
Meanwhile amazon is offering a $250 gift card when you get their prime visa.

That’s pretty good as far as initial incentives go but then… you know you’re stuck with that card. 
I love Koraidon so much, always thought it was cooler than Miraidon
Cause his wheels don’t spin. 
They were supposed to get lectured how to actually optimize games, or they wanted to tell others how to not optimize games and instead shoehorn bloated proprietary technology into a game instead of just delivering a good optimized experience
Harassment and personal threats are pretty unhinged, tho
@long shard
that yes.
Keep in mind, this is in Japan. The fans there were livid. We all heard the infamous things they are willing to do to bend the devs arm.
Buy something small.
Pay it off that month.
Cut the card up once it comes in the mail.
Don't use it.
Let them cancel it from inactivity.
(Call and have them cancel it after 6 months would be the better option, but they will probably fight and argue it. I normally just let them expire from inactivity and then redo the promo the next year >.>)
I completely forgot that JP also has a sizable PC playerbase there too. I thought it was just the US.
That hits your credit report.
But I don’t know if 6mo of not using this card will close it. I think most just stay open.
I use my primary credit card often enough that my doing this twice a year doesn't affect it enough to notice >.>
Call to cancel after 6 months or wait the year for them to cancel (unless they are one of the 2 year cards, I hate those >.<)
Usually accounts stay open if you forget to even activate the replacement that automatically comes when the old one expires.
But just keeping an account open for several years builds history and probably helps your usage ratio, so idk
This is how I buy new clothes. I open the stupid department store cards, get their promos along with the deals of that season, usually get about $200 to $500 worth of clothes for about $100.
Tear up the card once it comes in the mail, keep any paperwork that comes in, and do it again a year and a half later for the other season clothes bc those type cards cancel from inactivity after about 9 to 12 months
It is a double edged sword tbh.
As long as you aren’t opening and closing accounts like a madman it probably wouldn’t do too much damage, so hmm…
I think the only time I see a negative hit is when I pay them off tbh xD
Lmao
That’ll bounce back quickly though
The hard inquiries take a while to fall off, though.
Wish I pressed charges when a car dealership pinged my credit half a dozen times.
The manager did something shady, so I decided not to buy the vehicle from them and went elsewhere. The salesman was amazing, it was his manager that lost him the sale.
But, as "payback" for not buying, the manager ran my credit half a dozen more times -.-"
Yeah, that’s not okay
But usually multiple inquiries at one time, even by different entities, doesn’t hit the same way as if it were spread out.
Why did the tag fail?

Latest #off-topic-memes message

They spread it out through a single month.
Okay yeah should have went nuclear
Press charges, complain to BBB, etc
Too late now, was saying I wish I did it at the time xD
There was one dealer I was at with an interest in a used vehicle, but they wouldn’t even tell me what they wanted for it unless I put it in writing that I will buy it if they tell me. Like bitch, that is not how this works.
I remember when we got my brother's truck, the manager and financial guy kept getting mad at me bc I READ
EVERY
SINGLE
DOCUMENT.
They kept rushing me and I flat out told them, "I will read everything and if you hurry me one more time I will walk out that door with this paperwork."
I didn't sign half the paperwork and they argued I had to and I told them I'll sign it if they explain and show me where it is needed for the purchase.
They wanted me to just sign without reading so I would "lease" the truck from them at full price. Once the lease was up they take the vehicle back.
Used car salesmen really be like that. 
The salesman who sold the truck to us was fired soon after.
Sounds like he deserved it.
I to this day believe he was fired bc he didn't try to scam us like the manager and financial guy.
How does one force you to buy something before even discussing the price? That is even WORSE
Needless to say I was never at that dealer again.
Oh, wait, I read that wrong.... Sounds like he is the one guy who DIDN'T deserve it.
huh
Some people are in need of a vehicle so badly that they fear they will lose the opportunity to buy.
They go in, are in need, the snake dangles it and gives them an ultimatum, and the desperate person bites bc they have been turned down by more reoutable places.
My cousin fell for one after my granny and I tried to explain to him he was being scammed. Granny and I follow my cousin in his brand new used car that starts pouring water out of the trunk >.> The car had been in water and was flooded. He put a bunch of money into it and then had to get a new one after a couple months.
He did not deserve it. But, bc he accomodated my want for a paper trail, he sealed his fate.
i replied to Koraidon art for you to see
yea, i saw when i looked at older messages
Describing this squig-show you went through plus what happened to your cousin, this adds one more reason to hold onto my 20-year-old Jeep Liberty.
I personally think of uou can hold onto anreliable vehicle, hold it until it can't go anymore. If you have to buy a new vehicle, ask around a lot to get info on dealerships.
Last month it reached the 180,000 mile mark, but it is still going strong! The car I had before that was a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, and it lasted me 17 years and 360,000 miles before the transmission finally gave out. Don't really know if my Jeep will ever get that far, but it helps that the area I live in is both rather dry in climate and sands the roads instead of salting them during winter.
I miss my first car. I had an impala (not the fancy one). I traded it in bc it was having issues leaking oil and it was cheaper to do a monthly payment than what I could find to just get the inspection :/
We found that the oil pan either had a crack or the seal went bad, either way, only 1 place could look at it and I couldn't afford the inspection.
Lol my first ever car was a 2000 Cavalier & that thing was reliable af
The funny thing is my parents bought the Cavalier new at a dealership in Phoenix not far from my grandparent's place. I remember toddling around inside of it as a very little kid, and that is about all I remember before it became part of the family. Since then, it had been with us through 6 different houses, was involved in a fender bender, somehow got sand in the motor, and had a rough encounter with an elk, and even came really close to losing its engine out on the road before we realized one of the bolts mounting it broke, but even after all this it still lasted 360K miles, and it was the transmission that broke. I don't know what GM did to make this car, but they did something right with it!
I bought mine for $2000 and I got six good years out of it haha
I hope this Jeep will last just as long, if not longer. I like its small wheelbase and the lack of electronics (less distractions that way).
Also, now that I think about it, I hope the Y2K38 bug will not affect my Jeep. Maybe I should see if there is a date-keeping function in its simplistic computer and push it back a few years?
Back when things were made to take a beating and keep on going o.o
Lol the vehicle I got after the Cavalier was a Jeep Wrangler
That was a long time ago
I'm watching Squid Game season 3
I love the games where one team has to kill the other
Maybe I'm just crazy but I think would excel in the first season 3 game 
That just tricks the handler.
Not something you really want to make a habit of.
Tbf, what YA can buy a game worth $80? Which could get worse next month for Japanese games.
Meanwhile, we gonna be shown GTA/Saints Row anime before GTA 6 released.
The highly anticipated urban open-world RPG *Ananta* returns!
︀︀
︀︀It will be showcased at Tokyo Game Show 2025.
The article mentions $80 games but they weren’t a thing for the period that data was relevant to.
It will be now. 
We’ll see if that hits older demographics. 
Anime GTA
If they pull it off that would be amazing.
With a hint of Saints Row because of all the extra wacky stuff like sentient cars.
Forgot about that series.
it's a gacha. not a video game
Games now are no different with almost every aspect having mtx. Birds of a feather at this point.
Hi

I remember the Mythbusters conducting this experiment and coming to a similar conclusion, although the jam in their experiment was deliberate.
Has been done several times in several countries, and the conclusion is always too many vehicles too close together, if everyone would go at the same speed, they would never interact with one another, because they would never catch up until a street light interrupts the flow.
its a gacha
so you can forget it
unless ur willing to spend 400$ in a single caracter
not including their weapon
😔
What was it like some $600?

this looks like something outta Wind Waker
i think the dots around it are more likely to be intake or exhaust

Isn't the screen an LCD, it should be replaceable at a fair price if you don't mind voiding the warranty.
There’s a serious issue with the principle.
For just replacing a screen? How? Do they have that bugged too?
You buy a brand new $500 device from a retailer who gashes the screen by stapling a receipt to it, you don’t make that your own problem.
Take it back and make them swap it.
Sorry, you went to a 3rd party who didn't use a certified Nintendo part and isn't a certified Nintendo repair shop.
Use customer support next time.
I wouldn’t put it past Nintendo to do what Apple does and serialize the parts.
Please do not take selfies of bear cubs
I'm aware of that being an option though I'm a person who just DIY a lot of the time.
Nintendo is Apple's cousin. Walled garden and all.
After that selfie, the mother bear saw him
Mama bear is 800lb of muscle than can run at 30mph and will go mental if anything is near it's cubs
Mother Bear, on the phone with the local ranger: "Uh, yes, he took a unsolicited picture of my child. Male. White. Biker attire with protective gear--"
It dragged him into a ravine and killed him
is there a real bear on the left?
Just out of focus
Probably the realest bear I've ever seen TBH
I think that came from an old ad, I don’t remember.
They’ll bust in your car and take your change.
Square Enix please get your head on straight. Whoever is telling you to make FF into GoT or the latest western trend needs to go.

Who on earth needs to finance paying a DLC?
I don't think these people learned anything from making a business of debt collection...
I just want to finance my $1.50 Costco hot dogs.
Actually, now that I remember it, LoL has some wild prices for skins. More than the top shooter games.
I pretty much never buy DLC unless it’s something akin to a traditional expansion pack.
Same. It has to be a one-time purchase like an MMO expac and I keep the content. It doesn't disappear when my sub lapse or after a period of time.
but I need to see my favorite character in a Bikini
What happens if the game is like Concord and ends up closing before you finish making the payments
Lmao
Probably still indebted.
In game purchases of $50 or MORE
You get refunded for the payments.

like d.n angel, yu yu hakusho, ruoni kenshin, sailor moon, "Go"
They warmed up in the 90’s
Having anime mainstream in west was a mistake bro
Now everyone has an opinion and wants shit to change from this to that since that happened
What the fuck happened to just.....idk.....enjoying anime for what the creator did and not being a snob fuck?
Sigh 😔
Well for some they do not as for me i do
But i guess this comes from nostalgia really on my part
guys serious question. Yall familiar with ashbringer in wow? How was forge with demon ore and was purified to make a weapon?. Well if demons were once angels but once fallen they cant go back. Can you purified a demon to be a good form of that race?
This is random
Thanks is on brand
Off topic be like that
This will be a topic that goes in deep
I like random just it came out of left field like that haha
But I haven’t touched Warcraft in like 20 years
I did, but he touches back.
Anyways. Can you purifed demons to make them good? If soo do we have name?
Is this a game question or a biblical question?
If biblical i am out
Is not biblical is more of a dnd type question. Like..let said vampire..or splatterina for example
if you infuse them or purified them would gain a good version?
🤷♂️
Well gonna be honest this is coming into the realm of speculation so no hard evidence on that for anyone to say for sure
Is okat fam, sorry i interrupt. Gonna go draw splatterina being holy type or something. Carry on
Sweet

Why does the server have 3 British flag emotes? Wouldn't one suffice? xD
theyre used for the language roles for each game
also, nitpicking, but thats the UK flag not the british flag
3-4 years ago before discord had onboarding you had to pick roles by reacting to a post basically.
Since we’re a trilingual server we had 3 versions of the “react for a role” post but discord doesn’t allow multiple emojis that are the same on a post so we had to have 3 of each haha
Server lore…
Thanks for explaining.
Man, if I had any reason to despise Krafton it's this right here.
The devs got royally shafted.
ROARRRR I AM THE FUCKING FAT WHITE DRAGON QUIVERN AND I AM GOING BREATH MY FIRE ON YOU AAAA 🤮
What a bunch of shady mfers
"We are going to give you a huge bonus if you help us hit these sales targets"
"We are delaying to make sure you can't hit the sales targets for the bonus, haha nah nah nah naaaah naaaah, "blows raspberries"

Oof! Aren't those guy(Krafton) also working on Palworld mobile?
Yes. Krafton are making Palworld Mobile.
Man i'm worried they'll screw you guys too 😦
?
Krafton don't own Palworld
Krafton do own Subnautica
These are very different situations
Yeah im sorry, i guess i'm being paranoid again
So is Palworld mobile going to be F2P?
Good morning
Hello Redacted
I think so
And InZOI game
I hated inzoi. I even made my wallpaper look like Mac and cheese and somehow still hated it lol
good good, great you didn't enjoy it.
It's nice to know that there's people out there that do fault games for their shortcomings and over ambition.
That don't improve on the predecessors they tried to outdo.
I've been playing Sims 3 still to this day on and off every once in a while and it's just fun.
Has anyone else seen the selfie a romanian took before he died?
Hi Arze
If true then dang....i gladly double dip if it was paid.

"Japan internet speed hits a record high of 1.02 petabit per second. Enough to download the entire Netflix catalog in one second." according to news, lucky for those lives in Japan 😄
Is that practical
Sounds like a cost nightmare
you can't download a netflix, it's only available on their servers.
Milotic 
Find me a server with an upload speed that can match that 😂

Who wants to play with me
maybe they don't want to play palworld
Sus
Maybe they don’t want to play a video game at all
I wonder what the next collab will be/have
trader joe's
Err, OG anime Gary Oak, but Stan Hart was OG anime Professor Oak? I'm guessing based on the photo that it was the recent years Professor Oak?
Still...
I was wondering if he was in the 4kids version or…
Yeah, RIP for him of course. Was just wondering which iteration he had performed.
no fucking way james voice is...
iirc Jessie's VA passed away not so long ago as well
How do you get the Regular role in the server?
Become a presence in the server & don't be a rule breaker
This + Time = Regular Role
#pocketpair-announcements message
Hm ok, i tought it was some xp role or something
But i was in doubt because some of my brazilian bro's like Skairipa that is in the chat every day and almost every hour responding everyone don't have this role, so i was like "what?" lol
But thank you so much
Tysm too, apreciate that 
lol
Spoiler free Goose Movie Review: Superman
Lowkey mid
Figured
It’s killin’ it on Rotten Tomatoes
Thats honestly cuz its just a new superman movie and the start of the new DCU, and that's all most care about
why does it suck
I’m not sure that scenario has helped DC movies in the past…
I mean it helps that everyone just generally loves James Gunn
So they dun goofed again
At least zack knew how to write
I can't believe how crappy justice league cinematic cut is up against zack's
It doesn't suck, it's just mid. Nothing that grand. Nothing that bad.
The movie feels like a watered down, less edgy batman V Superman, without batman obviously.
Shredded like duck for the theatrical release then
Have you watched zack snyder's justice league?
Truly a reasonable price.
I can't think of anyone who hasn't. But it was also pretty mid.
Hello there
Personally not a huge dc fan in general, so that's probably why I didn't enjoy it as much but the movie wasn't all that great. It genuinely felt like it didn't know where to go till the very end, and even then it was like meh
Well, that's assuming we're talking about the Snyder Cut and not just the basic one
Got to see darkseid, martian manhunter, granny goodness, desaad
I've only seen basic
It was like a completely different movie
Thats cool and all but like, they were lowkey just eye candy.
The snyder cut was 4 hours long, regular justice league 2 hours
Regular one really was awful
Snyder cut is much better
I can't believe they sliced over 2 hours off it
Oh I don't doubt it. Nothing from the basic was memorable at all. I just remember the super vague gist of it

We're definitely not mindlessly killing each other while hunting for super credits on like the second lowest difficulty because trying to get it on higher difficulties is actually significantly harder despite the general game design of high-risk = high reward
