Maybe it’s confirmation bias of my part, but last time I played it, it was still very amazing to go through all the puzzles, not just the story, mechanically it was very well rounded, plus the ai feels really smart and all the details for the creatures’ ai makes them feel like real living beings if you’re able to notice them.

Compatibility, though it’s usually forced, like the Xbox controller with a drm chip that you need a workaround for

I generally just avoid it, otherwise I use it on windows, I still use dual boot with windows and Linux, will probably stop after w10 stops getting security updates since I don’t really care all that much about windows specific stuff

It’s not windows.

Any bonus points for a concise answer?

I’m loving “night of the dead” so much, it feels so much like pubg lite modded into a single player game (to the point I suspect it’s that or something similar), it’s got a pretty big open world with buildings that for the most part make sense, you can tell the devs put a lot of effort into making it feel cohesive even if the inside layout of some buildings doesn’t make that much sense. I’m not big on the tower defense aspect of it but it’s growing on me.

If you have a reason to and/or interest in introducing your littlest ones to video games, “king boo” is really good, mind you it’s for really small children, great as a self rewarding teaching time to learn about controlling their frustrations and it also works as a reward for good behavior. I call it the dark souls of 3 yearolds (no combat, only vibes).

Just to cover all bases since it wasn’t mentioned, dark souls, that’s pretty much the defining feature that made me want to try it despite the shitty “git gud” attitude of the community.

Morbid: seven acolytes is really good, though it’s a souls like, a 2d isometric one.

Blade of darkness. A bit old, really good, runs on anything.

Nah, because no alternative can be a complete replacement and if it’s not the exact same experience, people aren’t willing to put that tiniest bit of effort.

Again, look at Reddit as an example, alternatives exist, yet none of them are the exact same because there’s not a comparable size, and because of that people will just pull down their pants and begrudgingly accept reddit’s problems.

And they’re not losing us any time soon, for years I’ve seen people saying that YouTube is going down because they do shit the users don’t like and yet everyone keeps using them and in general making no effort in changing that.

It’s just like Reddit, a few of us left but that didn’t change anything, everyone’s still using it and they’re not stopping any time soon.

Even if not abandoning the platform, it would only take a decent portion of the users reducing their use of the platform for them to feel a punishment of some sort, but nobody’s really willing to do anything other than complain and automatically dismiss any suggestion of an alternative.

And does Linux ever do that? “wellllll yeah sometimes it can but only if you’re using it wrong.”

Linux community is like the dark souls of computers

Eh, you only notice it when it’s bad, most of the time for most users it’s okay, though I generally argue they just make an unconscious decision to ignore most issues, even before trying out Linux I was flabbergasted at how people literally lose time and get flustered at a problem but then refuse to accept it as such.

Isometric is a perspective, I never said anything about it not being isometric, I said it’s 3d. Again, if you want to not consider it 3d for the sake of your head canon that’s fine, but it’s factually 3d regardless.

Argument? Dafuq? It’s a measurable fact, no argument to be had, if you want to deny it in your head cannon because of the lack of verticality that’s completely fine, but that doesn’t change what it is.

Previous to the souls games were the king’s field games of from soft, there’s an indie that came out last year (so not much of a patient gamer thing, but it’s criminally cheap) called “lunacid”. I was skeptic at first but it got me hooked, really fun game.

Yes, yes it is 3d.

That’s 3d tho

So when discussing something like the title of this post, we could talk all day about what we personally believe the answer is, but the legality really is the only objective answer here.

I agree, we can enjoy a long insightful conversation if we talk about morals… Why do you sound like that shouldn’t be the default?

Edit: wait, how in the duck do you expect a single monolithic legal answer in a question that did not provide a legal jurisdiction?

I’m curious, if not from the people discussing, what kind of answer were you expecting?

Lmao why is almost everyone talking about the law? Morals can exist regardless of the law

Do those valleys correspond to surges in small startups?

In the past few years I’ve seen “turns out printer ink is a scam” videos trending at least three times on YouTube, so I’m assuming printer ink.
