Guntrigger,

It’s true it does cost to keep things running. But like you say there are ways around this to push server costs onto players, or simply allow offline play with online features disabled.

I think if there were legislation in place then design decisions would adapt. If it were costly to just shut a game down abruptly, there would be player hosted options in place from the start and ideally less spurious “always online” requirements woven into the fabric of every game.

Guntrigger,

About as tender as some beef jerky that’s been left out for over a century

Guntrigger,

What an awful article really. Cato “hated Carthage”? C’mon. And only maybe it came from him?

Sure Zuck is an idiot for wearing this in PR shots. But at the same time, I don’t believe he truly has a hatred for modern Tunisia specifically.

Guntrigger,

When someone comissions a painting, they choose the subject and that’s about it. Sure if they didn’t like it they might not pay, but that’s probably already more hands off than any publisher in the games industry.

Guntrigger,

I mean, I can see why she’s upset. But at the same time, it hasn’t made her look worse.

Guntrigger,

Sounds more like an Australian trait

Guntrigger,

I keep wondering how “Corbyn’s Antisemitism” would look today, now that more people are aware Anti-Zionism ≠ Anti-Semitism

Guntrigger,

Nobody could possibly predict that. It’s impossible to see past [current quarter].

Guntrigger,

She wouldn’t understand a complexity like that.

Guntrigger,

Can you stop posting this microscopic comic everywhere, or maybe post a version where the words are legible.

Guntrigger,

Those are some pixels alright

Guntrigger,

Nice range of colours!

I’m so annoyed at the timing of this, I’m in a place far enough north to get decent views of it in winter (but it is always cloudy). Right now we don’t get full night so at 1am, the peak of darkness, it wasn’t super visible.

Guntrigger,

In life you either cry, laugh, love or succumb to raging nationalism.

Guntrigger,

Always has been. The whole introduction of the public vote really highlights (what has always been) the political voting of the judges. All the scandi countries voting for each other, border buddy voting, no-one voting for the UK etc.

It was only a few years ago that Iceland got in trouble for briefly showing a Palestine flag in the finals because the rules state “no politics”, but half the songs are making political statements.

Guntrigger,

It’s interesting how many of the psychopath suits seem to watch cautionary tales turning into hellscapes and think “yeah, that’s a great idea, let’s make that”.

Guntrigger,

Why does it insist on accompanying dinner with a glass of milk?

Guntrigger,

Well, sure. But Mr. Non-Woke apparently needs cow’s milk in all three meals of the day anyway, so it didn’t need to have milk with dinner specifically.

Guntrigger,

Are people still playing DayZ standalone? How is it these days?

I never could get into it (despite buying it the moment it was available and going back to it a few times years apart). I had played thousands of hours of the mod before and it felt like it never lived up to that.

Guntrigger,

This site is an awful source. Seems to be a mouthpiece for the Gamergate 2.0 shit.

Guntrigger,

Well he does have Junior in his name

Guntrigger,

They don’t even get absorbed these days. They get bought and then laid off.

Petition to allow local announcers to call playoff games (www.change.org)

Petitions are annoying, but I’m hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Guntrigger,

You put them on the speaker, or they just happen spontaneously?

Guntrigger,

Being a Pens fan, the crying sounds don’t even continue to post-season these days.

Guntrigger,

I agree, it’s all stemming from the “need” for everything to be a games as a service model now. What was previously expected only in free-to-play games has bled into the “one time purchase” market and is unfortunately becoming the norm for both things that require online and those that probably don’t.

I kind of get that for ongoing development there needs to be some ongoing income, but there are many ways to do that without shady backend stuff. Pinball FX is a particularly weird one, as they are constantly releasing new tables as a way to make income. I guess the always online thing is license checking? Not cool in any case.

Tarkov is kind of a different beast. It’s basically an early access title that has been in EA for 7 years and there’s no clear road roadmap on where it is going to end. The current discussion is all about how certain versions should contain all DLC and what constitutes a DLC. Personally, I find the whole DLC argument odd. I would argue any of these features and game modes added before leaving “Closed Beta” are just base game features. They should be available to even the lowest tier of purchase as they are being added to the game before “release”.

But then Battlestate have been shady from the start.

Guntrigger,

They’ve really pulled a Cities: Skylines with the timing of their release. I wonder if it would have been so popular if Tarkov hadn’t decided to machine-gun its own foot right before.

I’m still following the game with much interest, but the amount of mixed reviews and talk of poor performance has given me pause so far.
