Why does everyone just lie and pretend Toby Fox makes deltarune by himself? Every single chapter has a long ass credits sequence with dozens of people who contribute to the game. Translation by itself has like 10+ people...

Cho Aniki: Seinaru Protein Densetsu (Psikyo - PS2 - 2003)

i’ve watched this like 50 times it’s just such a perfect execution of a ragdoll animation. the sheer commitment to the fall even though it definitely hurt. the way his feet shuffle up and to the side slightly after the killbind as his body transitions from being animated to simulated physics, because they are now colliding with the ground mesh. the mistake people usually make when doing this gag is that they only drop their legs and don’t relax their upper body until they’re on the ground, but all his limbs and even his neck go limp and drop with the same gravity and at the exact same time, fully committing to it. this is oscar worthy

Apolitically killing bandits and savages in my video game with no messages

[diet-poison]

asked the skyrim bandits why they were living in a cave and they explained the war effort has buried the economy so they can't find work and lost their homes. I use my shout to blast them across the cave and find a preeeetty nice sword among their belongings

[orthusisintheforest]

Hi this reminds me of the skyrim quest I always think about constantly.

It happens during the whole vampire questline. It's not related to vampires. I may misremember details so forgive me for that. But you have to go through old dwemer ruins and you meet the last living snow elf in Skyrim. You know, the snow elves. Who were enslaved by the dwemer and went blind and feral and still live in the ruins long after the dwemer are gone. The falmer is what they're called now. Here's the last one who's in their original form.

And oh hey, to get to where you need to go you have to take a path that's an old snow elf coming of age rite of passage. And he's going to take you through it and you're going to learn about this dead culture, this culture that was killed.

And now you've got what you came for and there's one way out. Now that you've learned what the falmer used to be, where they came from, what was lost because of the dwemer enslaving them, you have to go through a falmer village.

It's a narrow canyon lined with huts. There's no way to avoid it, in order to get through you have to kill them. They attack you because that's what they do to people invading their territory. You're invading their village. You have to kill them or they'll kill you. It's the only way out. You feel terrible.

If you stop to loot one of the huts on your way out you'll find a book full of unreadable text. Take it to the winterhold college and give it to the librarian and he'll tell you that it's a remarkable find because it's evidence that falmer have retained intelligence. They're not just mindless feral monsters. They have this book, they've kept this book even though they can't see. They have a culture. Maybe they still remember what happened to them. Maybe that's why they're so mad.

You just killed so many of them. You're going to have to kill many more.

Anyway.

Video game with no messages.

The term Micro-transaction such is bullshit.

If I go spend 20 dollars at a restaurant we wouldn’t call it a micro-transaction, but if I spent the same amount of money in a video game then it is a micro-transaction?

It’s a bullshit term to try and normalize nickel and dimming people

[ohnoitstbskyen]

It's such a weird relic, that term. If I recall correctly, it originated with independent creators attempting to figure out monetization schemes that would work for small websites. Scott McCloud used to propose this idea as a way to fund webcomics outside of the old systems of syndication or advertising revenue. Webcomic artists could sell each page of their comic for a fee as low as a couple of cents, and make a profit on sheer volume.

Then they made their way to video games. And it used to be that they presented a reasonably comprehensible bargain:

You get to play a full-featured videogame for free, in return for which the game will occasionally advertise a premium cosmetic or unlock of some kind, for prices like $.99 or a couple of dollars. This was considered slightly annoying, especially in the mobile gaming space, but the trade-off was clear. Free game, paid optional content for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

The absolute maximal price you'd pay for a League of Legends skin was about $30, and those skins were considered an absolutely outrageous expense for totally dedicated League of Legends lifers, and were expected to be the absolute peak of technical possible quality. And those were still mocked as ridiculous expenses for weirdos, the sort of thing that no normal or average player should ever be expected to blow money on.

Bethesda was mocked for MONTHS for trying to sell $2.50 horse armor cosmetics in Oblivion. Microtransactions? In a premium product? In a sixty dollar game? Absolutely unacceptable! That was a breaking of the bargain!

But Bethesda's transgression was the thin end of a wedge. More and more of those post-launch monetizations started creeping into premium products, and by sheer erosion, by sheer slow grinding normalization, they started to multiply and the prices started to creep up and up and up, and day 1 DLC became normal, and ultimate and premium editions and super ultimate exclusive digital deluxe collector's editions and battle passes and lootboxes and... yeah.

It used to be a... not amazing, but at least a reasonably fair bargain. A transparent bargain. You get to play a game for free, and the price you pay instead is the soft pressure of microtransactions—actually micro transactions—being advertised to you.

But the line has to go up. The number needs to get bigger. The center could not hold.

what they dont tell you about strategy based games is that its hard if you’re stupid

[the-quasar-hero]

I downloaded Terminull Brigade and it’s Overwatch and Marvel Rivals mutant baby with a horrendous case of Same Face syndrome and even greedier than it’s predecessors

[the-quasar-hero]

This could not be more obviously be Solider 76

[the-quasar-hero]

I’ve installed and promptly uninstalled many games in my life. Never before have I also went out of the way to delete my save data as well. I could easily articulate all that’s wrong with the game but suffice to say I will not be playing again

[txttletale]

crash bandicoot is another game that the entire games industry and usamerican gamers will talk of with rhapsodic love constantly and then you see one (1) frame of it and its 1930s racist

[iraffiruse]

[tim-official]

see every time i see this status i get angry because i’ve played through literally every scenario in rct1 and there is no place where this is a thing. there is never more than one park per map. and in rct2 you can’t make that happen i the scenario editor either. it is not remotely within the game’s functionality to simulate two discrete parks and these games were coded in assembly for christ sake so it’s not like someone modded it in by adding the line “int const TOTAL_NUM_POSSIBLE_PARKS = 2;”. there is no conceivable way this post is anything close to true and even though i know how writing all this out reflects upon me as a person and even though i know exactly how meaningless and trifling of a takedown attempt this is on some random facebook screencap with hundreds of thousands of notes im going to post it anyway because i’m too petty to have any say in the matter

[confirmedgoblin]

I’m playing Inquisition again

[confirmedgoblin]

My favorite thing so far about this post, is the people who are adding genuine headcanons about using magic sensing and so 

when i 100% was just imagining the inquisitor running around screaming

[pissvortex]

overwatch had the right idea when they made every sniper in the game weak to a gorilla that could leap to your position and beat you to death. i think this should be a more common game design choice for multiplayer games

Magic Arena developers say they were told to relocate or effectively lose their jobs

It's one of many reasons that workers tell Polygon they are eager to unionize.

Employees and developers working on Magic: The Gathering Arena say they were hired with promises of remote flexibility, so they bought homes and built lives around those assurances. But they say they are now being told they may need to relocate to Washington state — or effectively lose their jobs.

Those concerns are a major reason why a supermajority of workers on the Arena team are attempting to unionize with the Communications Workers of America, under the banner United Wizards of the Coast. The group publicly launched its campaign on April 27, calling on Wizards of the Coast and parent company Hasbro to voluntarily recognize the union by May 1.

[apricops]

These employees are doing important and laudable work in response to being forced into a bad situation but I’m glad they still took the opportunity to call themselves “United Wizards”

[basic-bamboo]

WotC has still refused to recognize the union and has escalated to sending organizers letters directly to their homes about how unionizing is a bad idea. Luckily, our United Wizards are educated, organized, and agitated and the form letter from Hasbro was as laughable as it was threatening.

If you want to help out the United Wizards you can sign this petition
