I don't play Terraria and don't follow its updates, but the only situation I could assume might justify crunch is if the devs confirmed a date for an update, and they were in danger of failing to meet it. Not justify as in "it would be right for them to crunch". More like "I could imagine a company would expect the workers to crunch for this"

People share photos to seek validation that they are interesting and are doing interesting things. Is this very classy? Not really, but it's true. It'll always be true. I don't really think there's much point in judging people too heavily for it. We're all just apes enslaved to whatever acts cause our body to release good chemicals.

I think there is a point at which it may be unhealthy if someone is only doing things for validation without taking any personal satisfaction at all, and tourism especially should be done respectfully and after a certain amount of tourists are in an area I do think it defeats the beauty, but I think deep down we all know why tourists are a thing, and why sharing pictures online is a thing.

I mean, they could solve both problems by adding a button to compile shaders in the menu, that way the people are anal enough about shader stuttering have a way to fix it without lengthening the time it takes to get into a game for the masses

They posted three different AskReddit threads within a ten minute span, once each in the lemmy.world and lemmy.ml communities.

I don't really see a huge problem with that except that there's not a lot of room for the threads to breathe and get more responses, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's spamming or anything worth putting OP on blast for.

Tacking Pentiment onto that. The premise may not seem super badass, but goddamn if it didn't suck me in and make me feel like I was a part of that town, extremely good game

Hmph, speak for yourself. I dunno how you sleep at night, what with all your illegitimate Rick rolls 'n such

Working in food service, or being a manager. Both gave me very strong perspective for people in those situations and it would be impossible for me to go back to who I was before I understood these circumstances.

Aren't orange females more rare? I'm glad she's there for you! Hope you feel better soon!

No commercials was a bonus for a bit, but I think most people actually went to streaming services because it was both cheaper than cable, and you could watch on demand instead of according to TV scheduling

I believe it still exists, it's called "Save the World" mode, but it's extremely background for the game, to the point where the switch port doesn't have it, or I would've tried the mode by now, it appeals to me, but the Battle Royale doesn't, so I guess I just won't play Fortnite.

It's almost created this double underdog scenario for CDPR. First, they released Witcher 2 and then 3, where their game quality jumped incredibly drastically from the first game.

Then they brought their reputation crashing down to earth on Cyberpunk's release, but fixed the game well enough that it now feels like an underdog overcoming odds in the public memory. They've basically fully recovered their public image, which I'm unsure if they deserve. People can like how it turned out now, but they shouldn't forget.

 

I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.

I also feel like it's strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's not like Futurama didn't already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it's just something I'll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.

Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I'll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.
