When I read Rayman I can immediately hear the song of the first level. Insane to replace the ost.

What about the 120 bonus levels? Do those make it worth it? I never heard of bonus levels for Rayman

I would play Eve if running multiple accounts wasn’t the norm… It stifles the MMO part so much when a lot of players just run their own group.

The clues for Bruce are tough but its correct

Sounds like nonsense hyperbole

Reading old game reviews or game development blogs and books where AI was just pathfinding and decision trees is something special.

Some things in the game definitely piss me off. But I avoid ranting about it because then the game would only be about the bad parts. It can still be a lot of fun if you take it slowly.

Big tip for boss fights: turn off the music and it becomes 10x easier. For me the music is way too overdramatic and distracting during a boss fight.

Also it does really get easier when you have more movement abilities.

I’m confused, what dlc? This is a year old trailer for the pristine cut which was a free update.

Moss is great. And I agree that it’s a breath of fresh air from first person VR games. As much as I loved Alyx and Elite Dangerous.

Welp I’m cooked. Back to getting tracked on stock Android it is :/

Not on gog or itch sadly. The official balatro website only links to Steam. So it’s either Steam or get it on a console :/

Why is “bots on Reddit” on the list

My bad, thanks for the headsup. Missed that because of the negation. So yeah my original reply is a mess but that doesn’t change that this is existential and the community opposing itch doesn’t make any sense.

Why are you assuming they are grinning about it? They were hosting this all before in a very laissez fair approach. Unbelievable. It’s not “bearing” the payment processors, it’s existential. Either they do as they say or they go offline, how hard is this to understand?

Itch players and devs turning against the itch staff instead of the payment processors is like the friggin ouroboros of activism.

Except an ouroboros can keep going round and round. What these people want would just implode the site in a day.

It’s nice to see a more reasonable response in the comments on Fediverse. On the itch discussion board people are frothing at the mouth posting death threats and the like against itch staff.

The anger is completely misdirected. I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide to just let itch drop dead after this abuse from two sides simultaneously. Mega corps and rights groups at one side, and their very own users on the other.

Once this review is complete, we will introduce new compliance measures. For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account.

Itch is even willing to go for partial filtering, what more do you want. The only thing that will please these people is when itch waves their magic wand and keeps everything as is. Like folks here have said, accepting crypto payments might help, but who knows how soon that is going to get regulated.

The amount of money Valve rakes in with Steam is insane. If itch had even 0.1% of that it would be a much bigger website. Itch had to limit dynamic filtering (like searching for Arcade + Fantasy) to just a few preset tags because of the server load. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number compared to Steam is less than 0.01%. People who want DRM free games generally go to GOG. Hell a lot of DRM free indie/AAA/retro games don’t even get listed on itch, so they get only the tiniest portion of the pie.

Itch’s general discussion board is insane to read right now. Filled with death threats and threats of lawsuits against itch. Who knows what kind of instant action the payment processors were demanding, do you really think they had a choice in this?

Instead of supporting the staff and showing some patience the nsfw players and devs turned on themselves. I wouldn’t blame itch for permanently kicking all nsfw content off the platform after this lack of support from the community. The naivety is stunning. Like itch staff can just wave a magic wand to keep paid nsfw games as an option.

What we need is collective action against these mega corporations, instead of kicking down at a barely profitable game reseller that allows you to set revenue share to 0%.

All this not too long after the Funko domain takedown too, the itch staff really can’t catch a break. I hope this isn’t the end of itch just yet.

Yeah it makes sense from their point of view. I turned it around on them for the hell of it.

I use a degoogled CalyxOS phone so all those apps that load ads via Google services don’t even work, or they work and the ads don’t load haha. One caveat is that I can’t use paid apps either though, I’m not against those.

But yeah system wide blocking is definitely the most thorough method!

They got it the wrong way around. Visitors who use adblock are not “dark traffic”, the bullshit scripts and tracking they use are dark. The adblock users are actually the only clean traffic. The adblockers aren’t “brutal”, the people without blockers are being brutalized.
