Sir that’s called sexual assault.

Honestly, I think the market is so saturated with superhero media (movies, games, tv shows) that anything that’s not at the top is at the bottom. I kinda know that Green Arrow is a superhero just from what I’ve heard and seen in other superhero stuff, but that’s about it. Most people that aren’t really into the superhero genre won’t bat an eye unless they market it as the next best AAA game, and then if it falls short of that it’s a bust.

Edit: it may be better off as an indie-style, lower budget game that the fans can get into without the producers having to risk a whole lot, but with the whole Marvel/DC stuff they seem to have huge budgets and bigger profit expectations.

I thought it was a really nice change. They kept the ATB system all the older games had, and it didn’t break between overworld and battle screens constantly, making for a seamless transition between the two.

Risk vs reward. I could see reddit swinging either way depending on which they think smells like more money.

Probably because OF gets a lot of their business through promoting on Reddit.

I’m sorry, what?! For RuneScape? I don’t know any other MMORPGs that charge that much, let alone for the simple game that RuneScape is.

Uh oh I have 517 hours in Planetside 2. That’s only counting Steam game time, and not using the standalone client before I played on Steam or time spent in the closed beta.

I have almost 1,000 hours in Final Fantasy XIV and I have only finished the main game and first expansion. Although I mainly played before the first expansion came out and got back into it in 2023.

Other games include: World of Tanks Blitz with 755 hours on Steam, not counting mobile; Lord of the Rings Online with 714 on Steam, not counting standalone client before it was on Steam; Elite Dangerous with 687 hours; Star Wars The Old Republic with 572 hours on Steam, not counting the standalone client before it was on Steam; Elden Ring with 360 hours; Mount & Blade Bannerlord with 180 hours.

Honorable mention: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on original XBox. I don’t know how many hours I sunk into that, but it was a favorite of mine.

CEO probably cheated when he played Monopoly too.

Probably remasters or remakes. They don’t want to compete with themselves.

Yeah, there’s lots of places with rampant toxicity. I was just comparing reddit and lemmy, and I consider the Federated nature of lemmy to help prevent (not necessarily stop) toxicity from growing.

I’m not an expert on this whole Federated thing, but to me, it sounds like if one community is having problems with another, they can just disassociate and not have to deal with it anymore.

True, but Reddit had the right conditions for toxicity to grow and begin to run rampant. Lemmy, with its decentralized nature, should limit the spread of any toxic communities.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

I got grandfathered into YouTube Music since I was using Google Music when it got shut down. While not as good as Google Music, YT Music works well for me and has been building playlists suited to what I want to listen to. Plus, some lesser known local artists that only have their music on YouTube as video uploads will still show up on YouTube Music. I haven’t really tried any other serious streaming platforms, and only YT Music and Spotify natively sync to my car with maps.

I’m pretty sure that has been able to be emulated and run through most emulation software now. These Star Wars games had specific code and drivers that, when I looked up why it wouldn’t emulate years ago, had not been cracked open to get the source code to enable people to program it into emulation software.

The keyboard controls are very janky. You’d have to do custom button mapping with a controller, and there’s no analog input. At least not without some mods that I’m not sure exist.

IIRC, the original cartridge had an extra chip in it that emulation hasn’t been able to use. I’m not sure if any progress has been made on this and a few other games that used these.
