I think a friend of mine would be delighted to have his children play video games.

They are only consuming [tiktock, yt, other social media].

I think he rather wants his children beating Red Alert campaign, than cpnsum 10s tiktocks.

Modding your first game, opening condigs ans inis, because key-remapping wasn’t a thing…all the gateways to interact with file system.

Resident Evil series? Survival Horror games… Boomer Shooters… Pathfinder games… Everything from Larian studios… Totalwar Games…

I am superficial. I care for the interface, instead of the core…aka KDE and Windows.

Hedon would be an option. It has actually calm moments, is cut scene free and gives you time to explore, whil still having cool combat moments.

It although has a pretty good difficulty mode.

Push Notifications, Mediacontrol with locker screen…

Holding forward during the loading screen is not better than being free to do anything.

Noone is against background loading. This is a given. People are against pseudo interaction.

Guys like you see privacy as a monolith, that it never is. Unusable privacy is meanigless as email had shown. Privacy of communications does not mean privacy of communicators and usable authentication can be more important then anonymity.

And all this has to be realised on real-world servers, that are always in reach of real world goverment.

Maybe look out for single player games?

Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.

Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.

Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.

My current focus:

• hall effect sensor to avoid stick drift
• i prefer the xbox layout for sticks
• abxy button layout, because not all pc games support ps buttons
• cabel, cuz lighter and no sudden loss of input

Isnt Icefrog one of the lead devs? I guess he likes this style of game. How many Total Wars, 4x and CoDs were released while Valve made one more Dota-like. Valve has some cool people working, vut O don’t see a Suda51, a Raphael, Swery or Co, who has the focus to develope such a single player experience. If the flat structure with ‘at will’ project focus is still a thing, than sp games have probably a problem getting devs.

Why would you punish high apm? Thats punishing people for being better.

If you free up actions, good players will use the free space for other options.

If it only taked 50% skill to defend an expandion, people will double expand or expand and attack at the same time.

I feel like people dont understand, that the RT part in rts will always be the important part.

If you free up macro work, people will micro harder. WC3 got rid of most of the macro demand of SC and in consequence you will lose if you dont micro your units ik battle.

SC1 had build pipe lines and it wad still better to issue commands seperatley, because the player is more flexible.

A strategy is worthless if it csn be executed and the limits of execution create strategy.

Extraordinary pathing and all-select created the a-click deathball, that is one of the most boring ways to see, play and lose to.

Just black list people like a normal company - whoever i suspect they did this to revoke access during EA.

But are they? The amount must be minuscle as searching and selecting costs time. What impact can thoughtful selected images have?

Ay one point Deutsche POST even had a sms-service for stamps. Probably thr easiest way to get a stamp.

The design is Moriarty lvls of complex. State actor might be too specific, but everything but a group of people would be highly unlikely.

Having tab groups is not identical to using 30 tabs simultaneously.

It’s more like 2D bookmark layout, group by content, group by identity (cookies and co) and all with a website screenshot. It’s faster, more visual bookmarks.

wc3remake is ass, but thanks to the community the game is in a pretty good state.

It’s kind of good, that blizzard is not to invested. The stuff w3champion and co do for map pool and variety is above blizzards abilities.

Project L will not use LoL but Valorant as base.

Riot is a fan of fomo and high pricess.
