“unnamed source”

It's capitalism. Nobody wants to take risks anymore because game development is a huge industry now with many investors who demand their developers play it safe and make sure it has mass appeal. Then even the indies (those who view game dev primarily as a business) see that what the big guys are doing "works" so now they strive to do the same because otherwise there would be no way for them to stay competitive. Only game devs who view making games as a fun thing to do and don't even really think about the industry or the current market can make good games. Which are a small minority at this point, because capitalism favors the former.

I feel the same. I only play very few games anymore for this reason. Most of the games I play are very niche because they at least try to be unique. Like Fates of Ort or Dust Riser for example. I also tend to play a lot of open source re-implementations like OpenRCT2, OpenMW or Augustus (Caesar III).

Game stores are flooded with crap that tries to appeal to the widest possible audience, which makes it really difficult to find actually good games. Even most Indies only produce slop. Nintendo used to make really interesting games back in the day. Still have my GameBoy and 3DS with some of my favorite games, so at least I can still enjoy those.

Bummer, I thought he put up a 24/7 livestream. Anyone know a good stream of KCTV? kctv_elufa got banned on twitch. I know of chuo_tv but after a few days their stream just showed "NO SIGNAL", went offline and hasn't come back since.

That's just juche necromancy

The only thing that's disturbing here is how people actually seem to believe obvious bullshit like this. I wouldn't be surprised if these people also think that there is nuance to flat earth.

Debian is still the better distro overall compared to Ubuntu imo. and it's much more lightweight too. Canonical has become more and more like Microsoft in recent years.

specifically calls out enemies of the US

Seems like a normal human to me 🤖

Is there a specific date of when they will federate with us that I'm not aware of? Because I don't see anything other than "soon(tm)".

Also there are a lot of people in that thread who don't seem to understand what lemmy/federation even is or how it works. Despite how worrisome some of their users and rules can be (CW on meat and milk products? That has to be ironic, right?) I'll still welcome all Hexbears if they follow the rules. I look forward to the day where our communities can finally interact with each other

Of course 2 of them have a K-On profile pic.

I agree with this. It should be mandatory to link to sources. Too many times have I seen screenshots like this that turned out to be a fake/edit/shitpost.
