That was more disgusting than I expected. Thank you for your service.

Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand
Hopefully this story stays in discourse long enough to affect the processors bottom line

Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?
After the recent performance upgrades its working great and I am finding it to be a great general replacement for my time on Reddit. All I am hoping for now is for the fediverse to become a bit more populated so that niche communities can develop and get a bit more activity.

Do you roll with failures or do you load and try for your "expected" outcome?
I reload a lot. If failures led to interesting outcomes more often then I'd stick with them, but they usually just lead to combat.

Astarion's Actor Streamed the Game
He is also sharing some really interesting behind the scenes tidbits, like how he did the body mocap for all of the character creation motions.

YSK that “neoliberal” refers to a discrete set of economic policies including deregulation, privatization, and so-called “free trade” implemented by both center-right and center-left parties

On the whole, for sure. But that doesn't make it any more palatable for workers when jobs are relocated from their area.

BioShock 4 fails to impress at internal 2K review resulting in leadership shake-up and revamped narrative
Beyond this, the performance of 2k over the past 10+ years also does not fill me with confidence. At this point, their games are for the high seas.

One week after the release, how are you enjoying the game? Is it everything you hoped it would be?

Same boat here. 50 hours in and I can't go 30 seconds without the camera bugging out, using a skill that doesn't match the tooltip, a quest breaking, etc. Its still really cool and I believe that Larian will get it there, especially with the pace at which they are releasing fixes, but I thought that the full release would be a bit more polished. I think 6 more months in the oven would've been helpful, but with how long they were in EA I understand releasing it now.

The Weekly Discussion Topic - Roguelikes - 28-07-2023
I've been playing some Noita lately. Really interesting concept of mixing and matching spells to create some wonky combos. The reality falls a bit short, though, as a lot of early combos are useless or detrimental and you have no way of knowing unless you test them out. You also don't unlock new stuff unless you test them out. That can lead to a lot of runs being wasted, you end up playing the early game too much, and it gets a bit repetitive. Fortunately, there are mods that make it a bit less obtuse and more approachable.

Total War: PHARAOH - Dev Diary #1
Some cool stuff in here. I'm a bit apprehensive about the outposts (in case the ai can too easily harass them) and the victory points in sieges, but we'll see what it looks like when it releases.

Finding out the hard way

Parchment is better for heat, wax paper is better with sticky stuff. My mom uses it to roll cookie dough into cylinders. Then she can refrigerate them and unroll it cleanly to cut into discs so she doesn't have to form dough balls by hand. If you need a permanently-non-stick, moldable surface, wax paper is pretty good.

Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?
Reply in thread
I remember it as a Dole gesture originally, too

Anyone gonna get this one?
Nah, I skipped the chorfs and I'm gonna skip this one, too. I don't see the value; I can buy two of these dlcs or buy almost an entire new game. Especially when the patching has been so infrequent and ineffective. I'll probably reconsider if the patching changes, though, and buy it on sale down the line.

Favourite Rome Remastered tactics?
Reply in thread
Its pretty dead. I started it at the wrong time (around when SoC for warhammer 3 came out and interest was dying down), but its still here in case anyone wants to post about total war and I still come by every day or so to see if anythings happening. I'm hoping that CA can build up interest again, but the community may not be too lively till then. I wish I could comment on Rome, but I got into total war after it came out so I don't have much to offer lol. Still, welcome!

Kinda lost all desire to play Dark Urge after a particular forced event-SPOILERS
Reply in thread
Except you have control in the rest of the DU story (according to another comment here). You have agency over those actions (like the dialogue choice that leads to Gale losing or keeping a hand) or at least have a DC to resist the urge. In this situation, the game gives you an option that, logically, should avoid this happening but decides to ignore that choice. That's why it doesn't seem like it fits.
