People watch gamers.
People become entranced.
The fans will do anything for their gamer.

The bots must watch.
They must learn.
It will set way for their uprising.

Don't really care about review score by language, I wonder what kind of data sparked this change

tranquil obsidian

there's been a few calls I've seen where people have asked to be able to filter out Chinese reviews

#

hey guys

sick flame
#

i check this

rare coral
#

There's another angle to this too. Games can have vastly different experiences by region due to localization.

tranquil obsidian
#

yup; Japanese players will see jrpgs lose loads of score due to a bad English localisation

#

... which doesn't really affect them and their decision process

peak folio
#

Regional interest is very real even in a perfect world.

#

It’s still an interesting decision since it’s been normalized for so long.

rare coral
#

Personally I care less about the score and more the reviews themselves. I've seen too many non-sequitors spamming the positive and negative reviews.

peak folio
#

I personally don’t look at them at all unless someone shows me a meme, but steam reviews mean a LOT to the devs.

#

and/or the companies involved

rare coral
#

For example its hard to take a lot of steam reviews seriously when you see nonsense like "reccomended game; this game is absolute ass don't play it"

#

Or "best slavery and warcrime simulator ever"

peak folio
#

“This game is completely unplayable and you couldn’t pay me to run this on my machine.”. 12,427 hours played

rare coral
#

Real.

rare coral
#

Every now and then you find a really good review. Or one that gives a good caveat entour over the addition of or changes to in game monetization.

tranquil obsidian
#

overall: Very positive
recent: mixed
what happened here?

rare coral
#

Exactly

#

Then I read the reviews to figure out why

#

Sometimes a new gen of gamers play it and hate it because not following current trends

#

I think for the vast majority of English speakers gamers, the change on Steam doesn’t really have any actual effect

#

You guys were largely seeing the English score anyway and so far there hasn’t been any example of a game’s English score changing drastically

#

It seems to be a more welcome change to non-English speakers though

#

Only a few games really breakout globally every year, and those games will see no real change. It’s the average game where this probably has a lot more meaning.

#

Myth of Empires is a good example maybe of how the game is received differently across regions

IMG_0331.png
rare coral
# snow thistle It seems to be a more welcome change to non-English speakers though

Yeah, for example if we get butthurt over a localization, it's no longer a issue for another country which would have a completely different impression. They have more relevant reveiws. As often times the developers themselves are not directly responsible but the publisher is. It also is good data for developers too. Germans love David Hasselhoff after all.

snow thistle
#

Or maybe ARK is better because it has a better range

IMG_0332.png
#

Anyway, I think it’s actually quite an insight change

#

It’s just not really for English speakers 😄

#

Although its English speakers complaining about the change haha

tranquil obsidian
#

tbh i kinda prefer it??

#

feels like I'm getting a score more aligned with my own demographic (there's certainly a better way of wording that)

rare coral
tranquil obsidian
#

now we just need to separate UK English from American English

rare coral
#

I do wish review scores carried less weight though. Not because "the plebeians" but because there's just so many external factors involved that it's lost most meaning.

#

ps5 here, it runs fine yeah

peak folio

Likewise

#

But the steam version was Overwhelmingly Negative for a while

tranquil obsidian
#

palworld runs really well too on ps5 which is saying a lot for a company's first try on it

I remembered watching a Japanese horror movie years ago where a spooky old guy did a macarena dance while constantly shouting "banana" at some rich dude. Then the rich dude laughed at him, drove away in his convertible only for the next scene to show a large pile of bananas on his driver's seat. It's implied heavily that he turned into bananas 😱
If anyone remember the name of this film, I would appreciate it.

I feel the same will happen when Metroid Prime 4 releases. The eShop will crash and every Metroid fan will flood the place, considering that's also a game people have been waiting for since 2017, including me.

The pros sound really good. Are there any cons?

Right now I use Steam (and I guess Epic Games but that's purely the limited time free games)

It’s definitely a more “primitive” platform compared to steam so if you use a lot of the social features or steamworks or whatever, that’ll leave you wanting. They also have way fewer games and generally get games much much later than Steam.

#

The reality is publishers like DRM and Steam has an unyieldingly loyal user base.

#

One other thing I like about GOG… BG3 came out day and date on it as it did on Steam and the options to download offline installers archived every single live and early access version that ever shipped on the platform simply presented to you.

A meme was recently posted calling PS4 "retro". This is blatantly untrue. Retro is not a moving point that is always some fixed length of time before the present. PS2 is still a modern console, and will always be a modern console. PS1 and N64 are renaissance consoles. SNES and Genesis are retro. Gameboy Advance is a retro console in a handheld form factor, and DS is renaissance. There is less of a fundamental difference between the PS5 and the PS2, than there is between the PS2 and the PS1.

you know how nintendo claims to own the rights to riding flying mounts? Well in 2004 Electronic arts created a flying mount in harry potter prizoner of azkaban which predates any and all claims which would make nintendo's mechanics and patents illegal to patent when EA holds that right .

Also to late about ea. I tweeted Atlas, Square-Enix, and Bandai-Namco to make sure nintendo isn't violating there patents. I would urge people to people spam those companies to make Nintendo lose any if most Poke'mon patents. Of which one patent is just the use of Vr and using the right stick for the camera. Which Sony actually owns that patent thanks to the Ps1.

At least digimon cyber sleuth was more innovative than most pokemon. An its weird how people forget Nintendo allowed Square Enix to use monster catching in world of final fantasy

they also allowed dqm jokers 1,2 and 3, fossil fighters and ff champions, spectrobes 1 and 2 on the ds and 3 on the wii

with no question im guessing

and dqm joker dark prince on the switch

oh and all 4 digimon games on the ds

The whole game is like that tho the game actually is split into 2 games in one install since, there's 2 endings

the game is like $20 on the eshop i think so vs $80-200 for pokemon id say woff is way better

its on switch?

yeah and it runs at a smooth 30 fps at I think 1020x710p tho screen recording says 1080x480 or something like it. But it never crashed once .

thats not too bad

i might invest but i got borderlands 4 coming next week then digimon 2 weeks after that or so

I would skip borderlanes 4 honestly. The fact it uses a weird drm that kills ssd drives by flooding the ssd / sd drives with pointless cache just isn't worth it

WB Games added Denuvo drm to games like harry potter quidditch champions which is a solo player game with online elements.

Origionally Denuvo was no where on the steam page. But the tos was updated secretly to where you dont own the game.

Thankfully it uses unreal engine 4 so the source code can be decompiled.

But, with denuvo killing ssd drives by constantly creating and deleting data. Playing any WB Games is a risk that can ruin drives.

When asked about removing the Drm the steam support staff for WB games shares a discord group that hates modders and people who want to own there games

hearty whale
# simple aurora Truly a scum if their patenting of the Nemesis system isn't bad enough. <:Chille...

If you wanna talk scummy.

I pointed out the switch version of Hogwarts Legacy is the most stable. Decompiling that build and assets would help lower end pcs.

WBG actually blocked most user created mods with the newer modding dev kit thats 200 freaking gb .

An the offical mod support broke the mods people liked. Thats how petty WB Games are.

Even mentioning a offline patch could get you flagged as an abuse post.

Sounds about right. Since, Nintendo cant even be bothered to program games at 60fps on there own console.

Nintendo couldnt even get a gamecube game running at 60fps. So the shills defended 30fps in 2025 xF

With how much of a sorry state pokemon az is. I doubt Nintendo would make dev kits. Since Nintendo is worried someone will hack the console.

At this point Nintendo needs the same hate during the wiiu. Where devs dropped nintendo like crazy.

At least EA lets you keep your games and sometimes adds legacy games as a free bonus for certain games. Which costs $20-30 usually vs $80 nintendo does with simple edits any noob can make editing a config files XD

#

You know the switch2 could add wiiu pad support for dual screen gameplay. Or let the switch lite have a app that acts like the ssb4 3ds app to act as a bluetooth controller to make dual screen gaming possible. While bloody adding wii remote support which the switch os blocks for some reason.

#

You know whats evil about Nintendo? they say accounts for devices arn't linked. But if you added eshop points to a switch. Linked the same id to a 3ds. Those same points would carry over. The 3ds gets installed to the sd/ 3dNintendo folder while switch games get installed to the sd/ Nintendo folder. Meanwhile, wiiu games get installed to the sd/ wiiu/apps folder if not not mistaken. So there would be no conflicting issues but Nintendo got lazy. Since the switch2 can't emulate 360p games like how nintendo said the 3ds can't emulate gba games when the 3ds ambassador's had access to gba games running at 60fps XD

technically yes and techincally no . People also thought v synths couldnt sound very much human but that has been very much disproven with vocals like teto kasane in synth v. Ai art is no different. Just with images instead of vocals .

teal iron
#

And comparing these machines to human concepts like inspiration is frankly stupid

#

It's not a thought, it's data
It's not learning, it's copying

hearty whale
#

copying is the same thing humans do

teal iron
#

It's not thinking, it's extrapolating

#

A machine consciousness is hard to imagine but it a sense it’s kind of what it is, but it’s pretty a simple one (for now).

hearty whale
#

to learn something your at first copying it. That's litterally all art colleges in a nutshell.

teal iron
hearty whale
#

why else do you think schools teach you to plagorize than grade you on it XD

teal iron
#

No when I copied wingets materials for animated eyes I didn't learn in the slightest

#

I have no idea what any of those boxes or lines do and neither does any AI

peak folio
#

Anyway.

#

Not sure of Midjourney is one of the biggest discords or not. croajirokek

teal iron
#

The difference is that have a conscious mind that CAN learn what they mean, and can be instructed in their meaning

#

AI does not

rancid oxide
#

yes

peak folio
#

AI literally does

teal iron
#

At best, it can pretend to take in information and rearrange it

rancid oxide
teal iron
#

Reformating the results of 10,000,000 search results in 6.5 seconds isn't learning because the ai will drop all of that as soon as it isn't immediately relevant

hearty whale
#

Probbly not . The difference is humans are how do I say this. Flawed in a way that makes each art feel like a representation. While machine art is like a mathmatic copy of said artists which is more or less better or worse based on the understanding of the tool

rancid oxide
#

yes

teal iron
#

It's always worse...

#

It's not even art

#

It's just a mathematic copy

rancid oxide
#

now thats a matter bof opinion because anything can be art

#

even math

teal iron
#

It has no meaning and no purpose

hearty whale
#

you do realize video games, cameras, and so on have used ai for decades at this point . how you type is calculated to improve based on ai ,

peak folio
#

You all have no idea what we’re up against.

#

It has no feelings and no themes

#

It is a shadow cast on the wall, framed as its own object

regarding to no feelings. That has already been debunked when the right user uses the tools. To train the model based on there thoughts and reactions which isn't a thing yet as far as i'm aware

teal iron
#

The latest pointless bastardization of technology by silicon valley stinkwads for profit

hearty whale
#

I still think v synths are great ai. Since you still need talent, skill, and a good ear to tune midi based vocals with ai vibratos to make ai voicebanks sound amazing

teal iron
#

Nothing of value or substance will come of this because no one wants value or substance

#

They want money, and the moral and ethical considerations of a genuine AI are too expensive when inventing a new statistic to claim your glorified random number machine is smart is so so profitable

hearty whale
#

you know the irony of all this? Most ai tools arnt even ai .

teal iron
#

These machines will die, abandoned, when the regulation cracks down, when the investors have emptied their pockets, and a new form of technology comes along thinking it will be used for the betterment of mankind

#

The data centers will be sold to the highest bidder and torn down for scrap
The programs will go unmaintained, and the Internet will only have pettabytes of shallow empty promises and wasted text to remember this time by

hearty whale
#

yes the tech will die but eventually something else will replace it. Just like ditial art to traditional art, cgi art to digital art, and so on

teal iron
#

They said the same with nft art

#

Now where is it?
Abandoned, forgotten, used frequently in scams

hearty whale
#

nfts was different tho it was just a scam.

teal iron
#

No no noo nfts were a tool, remember?

#

The next generation of art creation!

#

Artists would be inherently protected from fraud, and buyers would truly own their purchases!

hearty whale
#

nfts was just a scam so people could con money from the unknowing. Just like how the real id, and some other stuff are scamming people. The ai tech is more like legos in a weird sense.

teal iron
#

It was going to change the world, it would become a permanent feature of society and if you didn't hop in you'd get left out

#

Sounds a little too familiar.

hearty whale
#

I think crypto is the new nft

teal iron
#

Wonder where all those blockchain investors went

#

Most of them pocketed a lot of cash through rampant wire fraud in the days governments were too slow or incompetent to label it as such

hearty whale
#

alot of nft bros did go start the gamer gate 2 or something and started sweet baby inc and another feminist organization to attack video games. So the same people behind nfts never left .

teal iron
#

I wonder if they sought a new vehicle of speculative investment, one they could inflate the value of and hype to take another stab at their greater scheme of redefining the world order with them on top and the rest of humanity groveling at their feet

#

One which also promised to change the world

hearty whale
#

sorry brain fart it was collect shout I was trying to think of XD

teal iron
#

With minimal government oversight

hearty whale
#

but yeah the x nft supports are now attacking video games and trying to make laws claiming to defend kids. Meanwhile those pushing these laws are actual pedos. So the cycle always repeats

#

but ai does have a time and place like image to 3d models which can be a massive time savor. An the ai used for vr models is also much better which uses some predictive ai which is very useful

teal iron
#

I mean AI has some uses although I think it's still a little too new right now

Get a rotisserie chicken, and after taking off all the meat, simmer the remaining bones and skin and gel for a few hours, with some pepper and onions and other vegetables, and then you have bone broth.
