@CH4R10T_TV But these grifters are way worse as they suck up any passion to fuel their culture war made in their heads. Seriously I despise these little worms. I prefer an opinion of Radom game journalist then the best these grifters can offer.

@CH4R10T_TV Funnily I think the issue with gaming journalism is that it's way too close to gaming companies - all these preview copies, embargoes, bans etc create situation when journalists have interest in being nice to corpos.
English
None of the troglodytes who actually believe this shit do so because they understand games journalism -- although Luke is just a liar and grifter -- so they have yet to develop the self-awareness about how games journos make fun of themselves with stuff like that Cuphead review.

@LegacyKillaHD I predicted after the preview that this is one that game journalists will loathe. There is zero hand holding and even at the preview event I witnessed several journalists from big outlets getting stuck in the tutorial puzzle for 45 plus minutes...

Periodic reminder that there is no "crime gene" and, to the extent that criminality is a highly polygenic heritable trait, it cannot be "bred out".

@therealESGOO I assume it's the way to balance the game without directly touching IDs

Okay, Ardor Faust not dying is cool and all but what is with otherwise good Burn IDs that are held back by one thing getting their drawback solved with an EGO?
MB Outis and now ABS Faust...makes me wish she just didn't die by default, but at least this *is* a way to bypass it.

@skyrise77 State funding games is nothing weird or unusual: 80.lv/articles/cd-pr…
English
As an Italian game dev studio, this is basically wrong and needs A LOT of context:
- Tax Credits, government, nationwide and regional grants, government guaranteed loans are a staple to support video game projects and strong incentives all over the world. In Italy we actually have very limited support (basically only a 12Mil€ Tax Credit per year): compared to other countries (UK, Canada, Germany, France etc...), it's basically peanuts.
- Governments all over the world adopt this kind of incentives to both foster local talents and to attract external teams and investors: Canada for example basically built the local game industry around strong incentives, and is now a powerhouse.
- A Tax Credit is not direct 'funding'. It helps you lower costs, but you have to have and spend the money first to get it. You use your credit to compensate taxes, but you have to spend money first. In this case, it's a 25% Tax Credit: you spend 1Mln€, you can now compensate 250k€ of taxes. Basically: you already need to have money.
- Funding from the project came 100% from Dear Villagers: the Tax Credit is a nice bonus since it substantially lower your costs or can help getting a publisher on board but... yeah, you need to be already funded.
- This is in NO WAY tied to 'DEI' or any kind of propaganda: any kind of video game made in Italy get access to the Tax Credit. The project list is public, it's very transparent and everyone can take a look: racing games from Milestone, the new Carmageddon from 34BigThings, Enotria, Soulstice, Star Wars and Mario + Rabbids from Ubi, Terminator from Nacon... just to give you some examples. On our own, we got it with On Your Tail, that you can define as a 'furry game', and with a 'very hot' upcoming visual novel for example...
So yeah... while it may sound like a huge conspiracy it's just pretty much standard game industry practice (government support to strengthen the local industry), common all over the world and not tied to any kind of propaganda, DEI or agenda: it's just business.

🚨BREAKING SMASH JT EXCLUSIVE🚨 I've discovered where the funding for 1348: Ex Voto actually came from… and it’s WAY worse than we thought. After digging into Italian public financial records, I found out that the developer Sedleo SRL received €650,131 in government tax credits plus another €6,000 in grants from the Italian Ministry of Culture between 2021 and 2024. That's $745,563.07 in USD for those counting. Yes. This game was heavily funded w/taxpayer money to once again, push propaganda for the state. The justification? The Italian government’s cultural commission officially classified the game as a “work of cultural value.” Let that sink in. Medieval Lesbians to push an LGBTQ+ Agenda once again. So this project wasn’t just a private studio making a risky or stupid 'creative' bet... It was subsidized by the state, using a MASSIVE cultural grant program designed to promote media that supposedly represents Italian heritage and culture. And the receipts exist. The funding appears in Italy’s Registro Nazionale degli Aiuti di Stato, the national transparency database where every government subsidy to companies HAVE TO BE legally be recorded. In total the public support tied to this project is €656,131 (around $750k USD). WTAF!? That number is important because the program only covers about 25% of eligible development costs, meaning the total production budget for the game was likely several million euros. Which means taxpayers helped bankroll the development of this game under the justification that it contributes to “culture.” I want to thank an anonymous tipster who pointed me right direction and find the registry records. Everything referenced here is public information. My tipster is in Italy, and many of these Italian websites have some... hurtles to jump through for foreigners to view. This is a pretty wild discovery because it shows that the project didn’t just 'appear' out of nowhere. It was approved, subsidized, and backed by a government cultural funding program. And if this is where the funding trail leads… there most likely will be EVEN MORE behind the scenes.

One thing that i do not understand is anarchists looking up to MLs. Like why do you even expect solidarity from their cult orgs? Why do you care whatever they made statement or not? You want solidarity from them? Like, you are setting up yourself for disappointment.

@SimplyShae13 NGL, I always felt that 30k and Primarchs drama is the biggest nothingburger. Like, it's a nostalgic story about Imperium but there is nothing to be nostalgic about
English
I will never, never ever, never ever never not ever understand people's fascination with 30k
It's not that interesting of a prequel story. Hell, it's not even the most interesting 40k prequel story for the Imperium

It sucks that every really cool and interesting survival horror protagonist that's a woman just gets reduced to this.
Like yea, sometimes its fun and sex appeal can be a power fantasy. But like its always just a reduction of character to sell jar ornaments for gooners.

@CH4R10T_TV I mean, not to sounds too harsh but a philosophy of "what even is a life of queer person in the face of common good" have visible results in for example currently UK.

@CH4R10T_TV The other makes you grapple will all the choices you have made, feeling their consequences, regrets. But it feels like the choice that makes you come to terms with who you (Max) are and what you did.
English
"An objective appraisal seems to suggest that the only really positive choice you can make is to allow Max to save the town--" I'm sorry, what the fuck?
IGN@IGN
Life Is Strange: Reunion's premise of bringing Max and Chloe back together again goes against the message of the original game, which said we cannot ever go home again. bit.ly/4uvOteu

@bhangbhangducx The way leftists often talk about China-Taiwan feels kinda similar to the way they talk about Yugoslav War
English
This is the correct China policy. Strategic ambiguity increases the risk of war in East Asia. Taiwanese people deserve to live free of the specter of war.
English
@TheSpaceSoviet Ah, the same type of discourse as with Berling's army.
Yea
Even my dad who did not like PRL disliked the way right wingers talk about both soldier and volunteers from International Brigades.
English
@Andtheirva I was just scrolling through twitter and saw some people talking about the commemoration of Polish volunteers in the international brigades (a topic of some controversy). Some of the "history" profiles were posting absolute coal in the QTs and replies.
English
Seeing Polish twitter "historians" discussing the Spanish Civil War is enough to send anyone into an omnicidal rage. I just saw someone compare the Republican government to the 3rd Reich. It's baffling how people this stupid can exist in the world.
