Hi, my name is Khan and I am the person behind Devabhumi. I am of Indian origin, and I have always been interested in non-European rpg settings. There is such a treasure trove of untapped stories, monsters, and legends in Indian Culture, which can provide fresh and unique content for your campaigns. Devabhumi is a high fantasy...
Non-european settings are always nice to see. Heck, I’m European and I’m tired of how little variation there is in fantasy. It’s always a copy-paste of tired tropes and familiar landscapes. People should be allowed to go nuts with their fantasy setting.
Built during the XV century over a pre-existing keep dating back to the X century, the castle saw a lot of conflicts, as it lies on the historical border between Milan and Venice. Restoration works began during the 1800s and went on for over a century. Today, this lovely castle can be visited for a very low sum of money (€5,...
Maybe you’re thinking of Xbox All-access, which allowed users to buy Xbox + Game Pass Ultimate and pay them all over one year (or three, can’t remember).
In just four months, they have lost Toys for Bob (developer of Spyro Reignited and Crash 4), Arkane Austin (Prey 2017), and Tango (Evil Within, Hi-Fi Rush). I wish I had the money to casually buy some great dev studios, including the makers of a GOTY contender, and casually kill them off a few years later.
I know they are in panic mode right now, but I honestly don’t know what their plan is at this point. I doubt even they know. Watching the situation from the outside, it’s almost comical how MS has mismanaged everything for years. I live in Europe and I’ve never seen Xbox marketed anywhere. GamePass is supposedly their priority, and barely anyone I know who is interested in gaming knows that it even exists. The whole deal with the service was delivering first party games day one, yet failed to deliver anything worth buying four years into the new generation, while most of what they actually released was already in the works prior the acquisition. They bought dozens of studios, and mismanaged every single one of them. Fuck, they couldn’t even settle on the cover for their game cases for half a year after their new box released.
The only good thing out of this debacle is that people have finally realized how utterly incompetent Phil Spencer is. I remember the days when fanboys were parroting his lies and kept talking about how “Phil is a gamer just like us”, just because he showed on the stage in a shitty t-shirt. Too bad it took xbox fucking dying for them to realize, but I guess it’s better later than never.
I’ve spent far more time than I’m willing to admit on this thing. It goes much deeper than I thought at first.
I don’t get why this is a free browser game - I wouldn’t mind buying it on Steam or GoG. It truly is a wonderful experience, it reminds me of the time when I used to play flash games, but done better.
Inside Out is my favourite Pixar film of the last decade so I’m cautiously optimistic about the sequel. I’m really hoping Pixar knocks it out of the park especially considering their last 2 films were pretty disappointing in my opinion.
Sequels are made when creators don’t have faith in new ideas and want to attract customers using existing IPs. This is especially true for sequels to stories that are already complete: there was no need for a sequel, they are just making it because the IP is popular.
Exceptions to the rule exist (Toy Story 2) but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Looking at the list of upcoming Disney/Pixar movies and seeing just a bunch of sequels (Inside Out 2, Zootopia 2, Frozen 3) just speaks of corporates choosing the “safe” route of betting on popular pre-existing IPs instead of new stories and original settings.
I once tried to read F.A.T.A.L.'s rulebook. Not because I wanted to play it, of course. I just thought it would be fun.
I was wrong. It was fun for, like, ten seconds. When literally the first page of the book throws you into a scenario where you have three or four different reasons to have sex/sexually assault a woman, the book loses its charm pretty fast.
It then quickly spirals into a gross, demeaning, disgusting pile of misogyny, gore and ignorance, all in the name of “historical accuracy”, hiding their distasteful opinions behind “prominent philosophers” and hand-picked statistics.
I applaud anyone who is able to read more than ten pages of that abomination and survive long enough to write a review. Had I continued reading past that point, my brain would have liquefied.
SE releases have been all over the place recently. Sometimes it’s PS exclusives, sometimes Nintendo exclusives, sometimes console exclusives, sometimes they release on PS and Nintendo but not Xbox…
I was an XOne user a few years back and it was exhausting. PC side it’s a bit better, except that their flagship series is locked on PS for who knows how long, and then locked on Epic Store for one more year.
As a potential customer, I didn’t feel exactly welcomed. I was interested in FFXVI, but didn’t have a PS5 (I still don’t). Now I don’t have the time to play long-ass games anymore, which means that by the time it will finally be released on PC, I won’t probably buy it.
I was someone who was willing to give them money, and they refused it time and time again. I’m sorry for their difficult situation, as Square has created some great games from my childhood that I will forever cherish (both as Square Soft and Square Enix), but let’s be honest, this is their fault.
I hope they follow through with this decision, though. I doubt I’ll be a customer, but maybe they’ll make some kids as happy as I was when I was their age and playing those old FF titles. People deserve to play those games without being told to buy two different consoles and/or wait an eternity and a half for exclusive deals to expire.
I’m seeing a lot of former flash games coming to steam lately - I even grabbed a few, such as the Epic Battle Fantasy collection.
The Flashpoint Collection is great to relieve my childhood one flash game at a time, but it’s nice seeing that some of those devs are still around, and having the option to support them for the fun times I had for free as a teenager.
Just thought of an idea at 4:52 am. What if you could long tap a post you don’t like to see, tap something like “snooze posts like this for a week”, and then all posts related to the subject would be hidden for a week but the filter will self destruct after the time limit....
It depends on how thorough the blacklist is, but I usually avoid using those, because I fear I may be losing interesting discussions that only tangentially mention the topic I’m blacklisting. Or maybe they are discussing that topic from a different perspective that I may find interesting.
It’s not like Lemmy has so many discussions to choose from, anyway. Among the communities I’m subscribed to, the most active ones only have three or four discussions per day, at most. I don’t feel like a (albeit temporary) blacklist is useful when there’s so little content to parse through. If there were a hundred posts per day, and I was interested in hiding half of them to better highlight the ones I’m interested at - but with so few posts, I can ignore them just fine without the help of an automatic blacklist.
