Unlike earth—more specifically Europe—most solid planets feature almost no oceans, shit tons of mountains, uneven terrain, chasms, and dog shit weather that stretches for kilometres and kilometres. Imagine how toxic a no man’s sky mod would be if you had to deal with a guy probably camping on one of mars’ mountains 2km away from you.

The screenshot I took is very much related given that this is what most fights would look like on a good day.

How come some nintendo fans got so defensive around people criticizing switch hardware but now they're fine with it now that Switch 2 is powerful? I saw it happen once online so I got the perception that they didn't like hearing about the Switch's relatively weak performance compared to PS5 and other consoles.

>not backwards compatible
Why? I held off on buying a Switch 1 and everything…

So why buy a switch 2? Bigger screen, a chat button, and the opportunity to buy the games I already own again? zzzzzz

That's 'cause they'll buy Nintendo games no matter what. They value Nintendo games so much that they are willing to put up with actual anti-consumer practices. The only reason why Western AAA is so hated is because their brand of anti-consumer practices makes the games themselves worse, Nintendo's anti-consumer practices are outside of their actual games (pricing, DRM, digital-only distribution, copyright abuse, deliberately underpowered hardware) so they look more respectable. Western AAA fucks up at every stage: budget, development, distribution, marketting, treatment of workers, microtransactions, DRM, everything.

>>41112
nintards are the most brandcucked people ever. its harrowing

>>41139
It's selectively not backwards compatible so they can force you to buy the "upgrade" version if you want to play the game on switch 2. Other switch 1 games are playable.

From my understanding people who can't afford to pay a game and pirate it would still not buy it when locked behind denuvo. They would just not play it at all through piracy

>boohoo you won't pay up for my shitty aaa goyslop so I'll just lock it up behind a horrible server based DRM making life miserable even for my paid audience

Two piracy threads? Anyway, basically yes. Most studies point towards what you're saying and also that piracy can actually help a game's popularity, in a word-of-mouth type of way.
The suits, of course, cannot admit to this or bring this up ever, lest it kill their narrative that one pirate copy = one lost sale.
DENUVO is specially egregious because of the online verification and the bloated encryption that throttles the game's performance. This was true when it first came out and it's still true today, it's tested repeatedly, no amount of company brouhaha will change that fact. It's equal parts hilarious and offensive how the paying customer is the one that gets fucked.
I refuse to buy DENUVO games. I'm big into rallying and I've yet to play the latest WRC release by EA. Came out a year and half ago, still not cracked.
I refuse. I'll stay on Dirt Rally and Richard Burns forever if I have to, motherfucker

>>40918
I hate denuvo but it seems to work considering few people can crack and its spread everywhere. I'm still playing the busted ass smt v vengeance in switch emus that only have in-game compatibility because nobody could crack it. Suits dont gaf about their paid audience and theyll happily pay the very high fees that denuvo charges them

>why do companies want to make sure their IP doesn't get stolen at any cost
Good question.

Bullshit corpo propaganda. You can see what processes on your computer. I'm from the era where real malware and viruses would install on your computer. Regular windows defender will keep you safe from whatever. In fact it gives you false positives on game cracks.

>>40385
>Rutracker. Been using for years with no issue.
This for me as well.

they only crack normieslop
actually good games are essentially impossible to find on crack sites

>>40383
only malware problem ive got is windows defender thinking game cracks are malware when theyre not

>>40383
>9/10 times they laced your shit with malware
Ok fed. Just use a sandbox if it's so scary.

Why don't chuds just stop consuming shitty mass produced culture? They only play AAA videogames and watch capeshit and then complain about how woke and DEI it is.

Why not play indie videogames and watch art films instead where the creators have total creative freedom?

I'm 100% sure they're just casuals who only play what's popular and swoon over realistic graphics.

>>39069
I think they are mad that they are not being pandered to, I used to be like this and thought that the slop generator meant that people liked slop, supply and demand, everyone is dumb but me, normies have shit taste, etc. I missed gamergate cause I was busy hating other peoples music. The simple answer is that corporations publish the lowest common denominator for the largest market share, but also that advertising drives demand and monopolies stifle alternatives. Its not that people necessarily like the slop, its that nothing else is supplied except that which generates the greatest margins.

>>39613
>Taking steam posts seriously
After that retarded update where they added the points shop and allowed people to award each other smart trolls realized they could say the dumbest bullshit and rack up infinite points to spend on profiles or whatever. 90% of comments lile this are just ragebait to get free points. Vakve is so dumb they killed their forums with this garbage incentive system.

>>39067
They dont want their preferred media to exist, they want other things to not exist also. They want to be the only accepted culture.

>>39067
a subset of chuds are genuinely mentally ill and will watch something and yell at the screen. These people need a new war or something

Am I biased and have a strange perception of history, or did games really have a separate subculture and identity around it 15 years ago? Now it's been completely subsumed and merged into the major culture if that time was real. Sure, games were popular then but never to this degree. Same thing with anime. Sometimes I feel this sense of pride and superiority because it's like "I was here first, I've been doing this longer than some other people, so therefore I'm more actual than them when it comes to gaming" or something. Sometimes it's less about a superiority and more like having an in group, an identity, a people I belong to. Everybody wants that, right? I just chose gaming as my group I belong to, and I'm really attached to that. But the thing is if the group has everyone in it, then the concept of the identity disappears. It's hard to explain.

It makes me resentful that one Tumblr post that said that gamer should never have been an identity in the first place, like an outsider who identifies as one personally attacking me.

Everybody's against gamers. Not saying that self identified gamers are oppressed, but serious, we're like the laughing stock of the entire internet.

>if the things you like are now mainstream it means now you have a vehicle for conversation with most people
you seriously said this right before mentioning that you like moe anime?
being into a specific subculture before a bastardized, lowest common denominator form of it goes mainstream is a wretched experience. if I was really into Planescape Torment and STALKER and Pathologic what the fuck does it benefit me if now my coworkers play Angry Birds and Candy Crush? you consider that common ground that will lead to a beautiful lifelong friendship? how many people did you have to listen to tell you they "like anime too" before you realized 100% of them just meant dragon ball z and whatever shonen shit is the most popular one in CURRENT_YEAR

>>40472
>Am I biased and have a strange perception of history, or did games really have a separate subculture and identity around it 15 years ago?
Absolutely, gaming used to be a very nerdy thing until those "cinematic" AAA games came along. Games weren't taken seriously until they became like movies, ironic.
>>40473
>it feels the same with music related subcultures
This. Electronic music used to be a smaller and geekier thing to be interested in, especially techno/D'n'B/gabber. Now you walk into Tomorrowland and it's a giant mass of people dancing to manufactured sugary synths. Electronic music was clearly dumbed down to attract more people.

>>40668
>Electronic music used to be a smaller and geekier thing
During the 90s, Techno music was absolutely mainstream in Germany. But perhaps Germany was a geekier thing back then…

>>40475
>now it is like calling yourself "reader"
There are literally more gamers than readers now.

I wouldnt put it there, think it was the rise of gta 3 and halo and other bro games, and the aging of the audience into college.

The whole design philosophy of Pokemon for the last decade and over is basically modeling every decision about the direction of the games catering to the whim of the least well adjusted immature 30 somethings and their nostalgia while also making sure eight year olds buying their shit.

Hello reddit.

I'm starting to think you're a 4chinlet clogging the website with lazy insults again.

my guess if they think reddit invented "irony" and now pull that card when someone invokes the word.

So far I have not seen any short Rouge, you sure you can tweak height that low in the game?

>>41243
pick the one made by jetmedia and make her even smaller if you want,and yes,there are a ton of shortstacks/l*lis on the booru,they just get fucky with the animation (especially in honey select) because the skeleton are made to be the same size

>>41243
from the cards you wont notice their actual size, you need to test and edit in the game if they are not the right size.

>>41244
>they just get fucky with the animation (especially in honey select) because the skeleton are made to be the same size
How did this get past the QA department?

>>41246
because you can adjust the scene anyway to move them in place.
the animations are correct,they're just displaced if you make someone very tall with a hmm "short person".
it's also the fault of unlocking the sliders with mods most of the time (in CM3D2 for exemple)

the staircase I am in goes on for 467 blocks deep or almost half a kilometer down. It takes minutes to get to the surface from bedrock level.

Cool fact, build a wall three blocks tall and break the middle wall blocks but leave the edges in tact, then place slabs on the roof of the hole you created. If you shoot at skeletons and witches through it, they won’t be able to shoot back at you despite getting aggro every time you shoot at them.

here is what this design should look like

I am Steve
Chicken Jokey
This is a crafting table

>>41213
Ah nice. If the roof is shorter than an enderman you can probably use that at the enderman whacking chamber too.

>>41218
Probably. Besides, my design isn’t that great. A better one would be to just dig out a little bunker in a mountain and create the same slit to shoot out of like what arab fighters living in mountainous places tend to do.

People are going to hate this because expectations are that planes and tanks will shrek infantry, but instead everyone's going to have their dogfights and tank battles interrupted by RPGs and Stingers.

>>41190
>NOOOO WE GET INTERRUPTED BY PLANES AND SOLDIERS IN A GAME WITH PLANES AND SOLDIERS!!!!!
It's like CoD players trying out Battlefield and getting butthurt that it has helis and tanks. Like, bruh, it's not CoD, the point is that all these different units interact with each other instead of fighting in isolation.

>>41190
Honestly, the artillery and fortifications are going to be a bigger headache than the vehicles

>>41108
>grind
just play ww2 stuff
honestly I grinded into jets by pure inertia and it's not an enjoyable experience. it is really weird because the maps aren't big enough to accommodate for post-vietnam bvr engagements but they added them anyway and it feels like a botched and dumbed down dcs, including simulator mode

>>41190
I don't think the manpads will affect planes, helicopters sure, but the plane meta on high tier (like the trailer) is to never spend more than a couple seconds around the tank area
the real problem is going to be that tank battles are 95% camping and stealth, which the infantry will significantly disrupt. the rewards for killing infantry as a tank are going to be low so it won't be worth revealing your position, but if the infantry spots you you are fucked anyways. it will make the high tier tank grind even less entertaining
