@CaponeToneTony I saw the reveal, went "who is that for" and then fell into the rabbit hole that is this game upon release. This game is such a delight and a perfect cozy game for me lol

@SaffronOlive @Metallix87 I just want them to go back to print on demand because it would solve a lot of the scalping issues here. Also, I certainly think this product in particular should have been print to demand because it is a specialty product like their decks when they do them
English
@Metallix87 Sure, but I'm saying that I don't think a precon for a casual fan made format should be a limited print run exclusive.
English
I find the idea that the problem with the DanDan Secret Lair drop was that it was too cheap hilarious. The issue is players not being able to get the cards are a reasonable price, increasing the cost quite literally does the opposite.
English
@Paco_Scarso I will instead take this chance to point out these same people are the people who don't care if the female character has a huge chest or giant butt. Also, the "I'm not sexist, but..." line gets me eberytime because you are in fact sexist man lol
English
Still referring to this tweet… I've been getting comments like this for years just because I chose a female protagonist for Pokémon Odyssey.
Here are just a few unbelievable examples.
Honestly, these people should go touch some grass

“Oh hey, a new YT comment, let’s see what-“ 🥱💤
English
@Paco_Scarso I mean...cause the game has a story where the gender matters? If they played long enough they would realize that. Caring about a character's gender in video games in the way that man does just locks you out of so many good games

@MTGO_Economics @DavidLeavitt Official wotc events do not allow proxys unless they changed that over the last year? (This is outside of the judges creating proxys for foil curled cards during events when an alternative is not available)
English
@DavidLeavitt You are allowed to proxy this at events. I think that is a reasonable compromise between wanting to keep the condition and being able to play it.
English
@thomashobohm But where would we even get the processing power to run this the entire time? They don't want to sell regular consumers the big ram anymore cause "We can't have you running AI models at home." Seriously though, this looks like garbage

the whole time i was playing resident evil, i was thinking: wow, i wish AI was re-rendering every frame

@DrNeilStone My favorite thing to tell people is the exact same people who told them not to get vaccinated at the time got the vaccine and then made up some other health reason they needed it lol

@knowsworthy Listen, I think that the writing is in the wall when you consider Sony flat out canned a live service games for poor reception last year in the fastest shut down ever. This is not the same Bungie that made Destiny and Destiny 2 that are fully reliant on hosting.
English
Players have no idea the dev team size, cost per head, margin targets or any other strategic goals the developer or publisher might have, and certainly can’t triangulate any of those looking at player counts (to say nothing of SteamDB not even being a comprehensive view). 1/
Jacob Navok@JNavok
I think it does a disservice to the players to ridicule player count watching. We have seen countless examples in the last few years of player count drops leading to game service stops. If you're going to put $40 into a game, you need to believe the game will continue for X amount of years. Asking people for blind faith treats them like sheep. Players are not dumb: they know that Bungie's acquisition was costly, their staff are costly, and that cost/sales requirements are likely substantially higher than ARC Raiders given a large, Seattle-area workforce who needs to cover not just their burn but the equity Sony spent on the acquisition of the studio. So when the game fails to reach ARC numbers, an elementary schooler can do the math showing that the number may be on the wall. It may be a year away. Possibly two! But it also could be sooner. Businesses have to be cut throat; if Sony doesn't see a path to burn rate profitability with Marathon, and has no plan to increase player count in the next six months, they would be smarter to cut their losses. I'm not suggesting they don't, I'm only saying that this is a reasonable, logical train. Warframe has very different cost requirements than Marathon. That doesn't mean Marathon is bad. By all accounts, it is very good. The problem with the industry is that you can spend way too much for a good game that can't make back it's money. This has been Square Enix's issue on Final Fantasy games for years.

@eurogamer Fortnite literally swindled people at the start, pitching their Save the World mode as the whole experience, people bought into it, and then they went "Nah, we are battle Royale now" and left the mode dormant for years. Even Sony gave refunds after that shit lol

Fortnite is making its original Save the World mode free-to-play as Epic readjusts prices and tries to deal with dwindling engagement

@rainygay1 @Tinder I get this from @hinge all of the time and I just think "Aren't you the app that is supposed to be deleted?" And it isn't like I am getting attention on there anyway to be checking the app

@scully1888 English is realistically one of the harder languages to learn. But not directly for its structure and more for how many words we have that sound the same. What he should have said is that the DQ series uses cultural relevance and losses that in translation
English
Someone's already referred to this as "ragebait".
He's explaining the difference between how English and Japanese language works. Calling English a "simple language" isn't invoking rage – he's right.
I even added that extra line in the tweet to clarify it before the click.
VGC@VGC_News
Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations of Japanese games lose "flavour" because it's a more "simple language". The intricacies of Japanese dialogue are lost when translating to English, Horii says. vgc.news/news/dragon-qu…

@Iateyourp1e I have been working on lossing weight myself and down 25lbs in 7 months. I have felt much better overall for doing this
English
I made it a goal of 2026 to be a year I focus on the things I can change about myself and that I had control over.
Almost 25 pounds later, I've hit my first portion of that goal. Still a lot of work to do, physically, mentally, and spiritually, but celebrating wins is key!
English
@ChrisRGun I also want to clarify that I don't make this post in support of her placement. I believe she mainly got it because of her current social status and not these qualifications. Also, the administration needs another distraction 🙄
English
@ChrisRGun I wonder if her actual degrees are why she got it? She has degrees in political science, international relations, a masters in American Legal Studies, and working on a doctorate in biblical studies. None of this feels like she is qualified to comment on military training to me.
English
@Selphares1 @TheMG3D I am not saying there are no good uses of AI. There is research into training an AI model to detect cancer early. Commercial use AI, and programs like Claude to just generate AI- slop videos, doesn't need to be a thing. It diminishes critical thinking and problem solving.

@Selphares1 @TheMG3D Ummm, how about the horrid resource waste that current day AI models use up? Or let's take the fact that YouTube is currently a platform filled with primarily user created content. Tools like this will turn the platform into a wasteland of slop.

@nickjcal Most live service games and the audience for them is on PC though? I understand there are games that transcend that, such as Genshin Impact, but I would argue that its performance on Steam is where most of its players are coming from. People are simply skeptical about Marathon.
English
@Bris_pit I mean that's fine. Everyone's just focusing on Steam player counts when it's also on consoles too. No point in hyper focusing on these things. Either it works or it doesn't.
English
They’ll move the goalposts to wherever they need to be right.
Everyone else just goes on with their day and enjoys the games (or not, maybe it’s not your thing and that’s cool).
Relaxed@Relaxed008
First it was Marathon is gonna be “dead on arrival”. Now because they have a healthy player base so far, it’s a “failure for a triple A game”. How much are we gonna keep moving the goal posts to discredit a good game? Just enjoy it or leave it alone sheesh.
