“Troll logic” is one of my favorite memes.

Exactly like being hit by lightning at any instant has a 50% risk because either it happens or it doesn’t.

I already don’t trust any Google result that has “AI” anywhere near it, and barely even the rest anymore.

Yes, but was this specific one a result, or was it a 5 second fake because haha meme?

I’m already pretty skeptical of “AI” in the LLM-algorithm-hell sense, but that doesn’t mean people don’t make things up for shits and giggles.

Please tell me this is fake. I need to hear these words.

I distinctly remember this joke when 2000 or ME was the most recent one.

Five… four… three…

So they’re ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don’t think it’s required. I could be wrong…

Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what’d they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys…

It shows you the passage too. Albeit for maybe one second, which was just not terribly smart design. But it does show you or mention it somewhere - a lot of OoT is like that.

Imagining that line spoken by Joe Lycett.

N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right… prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was… still pretty awkward.

I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.

So don’t?

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

Yes, they are tankies. Arguably tankies are No True Leftist or they wouldn’t be fellating right-wing regimes, but at least purportedly and self-identified…ly… they are not only “leftist” but “Communist”, ML is Marxism-Leninism after all.

This place is noticeably more anticorporate - which makes sense because corporations tend to be dicks - and leftist. Enshittification is a fairly apt term for what goes on.

What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.

Oh, no no, capitalism welcomes competition, don’t’y’know.
Just as long as it doesn’t mess with the profit margins.

Maybe they could start using an engine that is more recent than the Cretaceous.

“You’re welcome” was always taught to me as the proper thing, but sounds slightly stilted. They express the same sentiment, roughly, but “[it was] no problem” is arguably clearer about it. I personally just think it’s a slightly “nicer” nuance.

Of course, sometimes maybe it actually was a problem, and then I’d only say it if going out of my way to be nice about it.
