Source Filmmaker - basically the tech used in Valve's games (IE Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Gmod) but repurposed into an easy to use animation tool. Valve used it quite a bit for their content but it was also popular among amateur animators since it was easy to use and had bunch of ready-to-use resources from Valve's games.

Skibidi Toilet is a serious of SFM shorts that became popular with young kids. Think in the same vein as the weird flash videos or early SFM videos that were popular with young kids 10-15 years ago. "Skibidi" doesn't mean anything and is just taken from that.

I know in previous posts, you've talked about leaderboards and comparing stats to friends. For those who might be embarrassed by their stats or who would be anxious comparing stats, is ir possible to hide these menus and/or play the game without them? In particular, is it possible to play with other social features still enabled?

Does GOG allow it? I expect theres a clause for that in their TOS too.

Edit:

Regarding accounts, from their TOS:

(h) Don’t share, ‘buy’, ‘sell’, transfer, gift, lend, steal, misappropriate or misuse GOG accounts.

That said, I'm looking for details for individual games, but odds are, the rules are the same. Yes, you can still do it, but you can on Steam as well and if you're disregarding legality, theres always other options.

Edit 2:

3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else.

I really wouldn't say the genre is oversaturated. TF2, Overwatch 2, Smite, and Paladins (if thats even still around) are the only ones that really come to mind.

TF2 is obviously outdated, largely abandoned by the devs, as well as being very much on the shooter side rather than the Moba side.

Overwatch 2 is a microtransaction filled mess that locks heros behind paywalls and grind.

Paladins, I thought was pay to win, although I admittedly haven't looked at it in years.

Smite, I can't personally play because my account got locked halfway through account creation so I can't comment on that, although its probably the closest.

If you want a game thats based on skill rather than your wallet, it seems like its just a very old fps, or Smite.

Currently two:

War Thunder - It has so many issues from the grind, to unadressed design issues (IE 10kg HE shells doing no damage on a direct hit), to balance issues including p2w vehicles. That said, under all the shit, theres a solid foundation, and no other game comes close to replicating it.

Super Auto Pets - Its an autobattler streamlined to the point where its the perfect casual game when I don't feel like anything else. It also doesn't have any of the normal f2p traps, and is monitized purely on cosmetics that can also be earned for free.

Edit: I guess Dota 2 counts too. I put a ton of time into that. I'm not a particularly good player, but its one of the best team-based games out there, so I enjoy playing it with friends.

Ain't no way they investigated themselves and found nothing wrong? Shocking.

They hired a 3rd party company to investigate them. They did not investigate themselves. Its not perfect, but what else are they supposed to do?

Scumbags are trying to sue Madison for defamation.

They are not suing her, and have explicitly stated as such.

I mean, they're still failing to hide it even in what they did publish. According to the article, of like 3000 banned accounts, only 16 were from China.

I'm more just shocked that they'd even make an announcement for only blocking 15 campaigns. You'd think they'd at least try and inflate the number so it seems like they're doing something.

Nah, if they were driven to this by the CCP they would have disrupted more than 15.

I woundn't say this is suprising news. Most of the big companies and triple-a studios have been in a race to the bottom in recent years, and these are the main companies marketing and selling to console and mobile users. PC on the other hand, has always been less ruled by the big players and thus hasn't been as impacted.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah. Pretty much boils down to, "There is fewer good triple A games coming out, and less significant hardware advancements." This doesn't mean its getting worse, just means its getting better slower. Even if you read it as "getting worse as compared to other platforms" it doesn't really work seeing as all these issues affect other platforms just as much, and often more.

I'm hoping to find more general, less nerdy content or infuriating American news. 99% of what I see and is recommended to me is just that.

I know Technology Connections has an account. I'm thinking people roughly along those lines in terms of popularity/scale but I'm open to any topic from gardening to gaming.

The universe today is happy and healthy, with exciting things going on – but at some point the night will turn dark. Everything that once was, will peacefully sleep forever.

But what is the last thing that will ever happen? Let's travel to the end of the universe…
