@idonotexistelol The biggest reason why I play on PC is modding. Player made skins, textures, entire game overhauls that change or add features etc. Steam sales are a close second.

Tbh, if I spend 3K on a pc then the slightest most smallest inconvenience I am selling that shit. If I'm paying that much I expect ZERO problems personally lol idk if that's a hot take but that's just me.

@Bucky_cm You should own it and be proud you're a part of such a fun and amazing game. Knowledge is invaluable and it'd be awesome to learn about how different cultures do things!

Over the last few years I’ve learned a ton about the Japanese games industry, its inner-workings, politics, habits&trends. Really want to be able to share with you but when I try, people lash out and use Palworld/Pocketpair as a way to discredit it 😔 Is there a better way?

@JoshStrifeHayes Bruh there are content creators that have sponsors in every video they put out. Every single one. You can and should take as many sponsorship deals as necessary. Displate, Ridge Wallet, Raycons. Whatever. Who cares. Watching YouTube is free. Your payment is ads. Sponsors=ads.

I need to be honest. 1/🧵 I've spent 5+ years making content on the MMO genre, and that has been supported by ad revenue, viewer support and VERY few sponsorships. I took the WoW x Pinterest campaign to make 5 shorts, less than 3 minutes of video, as I like irl treasure hunts...

@GiusCaminiti If the game isn't at full release yet then take it with a grain of salt, but it feels bad as a player when things like difficulty keep getting changed, especially if you're still in the middle of a playthrough or want to replay the game.

@GiusCaminiti Hot take, but if it's not a live service game, there shouldn't be this constant stream of balance patches. Fixing bugs is one thing, but changing difficulty or game mechanics after release kind of invalidates the experience people had before the change.

Player feedback is one of the most valuable things you can have as an indie gamedev, but it is also one of the hardest things to interpret. How and when do you know whether you should listen to it and when you should not? For a long time now, one of the main complaints about my game has been the difficulty. I have adjusted it a lot over the past year, and it can probably still be adjusted further. Still, my vision for the game, and the design behind many of its systems, is for it to be challenging. Now I have reached the hard part: some players complain that it is too difficult, others say it is too easy, and even in posts where people ask me to make it easier, there are many others asking me not to change it because they like the current difficulty and feel it is part of what makes the game stand out in the genre. So the real challenge is... where do you go from here? It is definitely part of the job as a developer, but it is not always easy to know when to say “the game is fine like this” and ignore the few negative reviews and comments that are hard to deal with. So yes, player feedback is incredibly valuable, but having judgment, knowing how to interpret it, and deciding how to act on it is just as important!

@justxavierisunc Bro how is switching party members in a video game something to glaze over? You've been able to do this instantly since like Dragona Age Origins. Probably before that.

Am I crazy or didn’t GTAV do this 13 years ago or am I missing something

@MarkChangizi Man you're raising so many good points stop convincing me to not die for Israel.

“I’m not dying for Israel” is even worse than it sounds. (1) It buys into the “Jews control the world” mental illness. (2) It implies that Israel is not worth fighting for. (3) It accuses those supporting the war of being traitors to the U.S. (4) It suggests that true patriotism is showing contempt for a nation fighting shoulder to shoulder with us, a nation whose civilians are uniquely under constant attack from our enemy. (5) It is cowardly, pretending that you’re at risk when you’re actually sipping a latte 6000 miles away while Israelis huddle in bomb shelters. Am I missing anything?

@vxunderground Strawberries are my favorite fruit.

Dawg, like, 8 months ago this dude randomly knocks on my door and he's like, "are you John Strawberry?" (not the actual name he said). I'm like, "....No?" and he's like, "Well, do you know where he is or how to find him?" I reply, "I have no idea who that is, sorry." and then I go on about my business and I forget about it. Bro shows up again a few months later knocking on my door asking for John Strawberry. This time my wife answered the door and he's yapping about how he has to return something really important to him. My wife is like "??? Who the FUCK is John Strawberry ???" Fast forward, this whacko shows up AGAIN. This time he parks outside my house. He knocks on the door. He says his car broke down and he needs help. I'm like, "weren't you the dude asking for John Strawberry?" and he's like, "Oh, do you know John Strawberry? How can I contact him?" I'm like ??? This dude drives by my house now AT LEAST once a week. He rolls by real slow and takes a look and then leaves. Then the police show up asking for John Strawberry. They say they have a warrant out for his arrest and my home was listed as last known good address. DAMN YOU JOHN STRAWBERRY

@vxunderground So smelly is an autismo, got it

tl;dr normie to big stinky nerd translator I'm going to share something embarrassing, but this is true. I have found a good usage of AI (for me, at least). I'm a big stinky nerd and I have a hard time understanding what people are saying to me. I am an extremely explicit communicator. I usually say exactly what I mean (for better or worse). I get very confused when people imply something, or lean heavily on emotional phrasing, to implicitly communicate. I have been unironically using AI to explain what people are saying to me. I'll detail the conversation to the best of my ability if it was communicated verbally, if it was online I copy-paste my message and the persons response (or comment). The silly AI slop robot then translates what the person says into explicit communication for me so I understand better. Basically, the dumb ass slop machine robot is better at understanding humans than me. Sometimes I have zero idea what someone is talking about or trying to convey. pic related: machine deciphering human language and explaining to my dumb nerd brain

@Bucky_cm Nobody is stopping you from making a YouTube channel and posting reviews there 🤔

Maybe I should hang up the Palworld towel and become a journalist? I want to play games early too 😇

I did not get a Crimson Desert review key, because I’m not a journo, but all signs point to it being a game Bucky falls in love with 😌

@HikariTaiyo_ch The first game my girlfriend and I played together was Baldur's Gate 3. It was quite the journey.

My husband was giggling and calling me cute because I was playing World of Warcraft with him and being all like "okay, I gotta go here and turn in this quest and then go here!!~" He said he's never seen someone play WoW for the first time with that much whimsy.
