Nor does it mean that the hate towards Epic doesn’t have any basis. They did a lot of shit that caused them to have a bad reputation.

Yeah. I can play Thrill of the Fight with no nausea after several matches. I also didn’t get sick from Vader Immortal or other games like Beat Saber or Crisis VRigade. Games where you move in-game but stay still in real life though, I feel like throwing up after a short time.

For PC, game optimization is very inconsitent. When I’m in a smaller space like a dungeon or the Constellation Lodge, it’s actually pretty great and runs smoothly. When I go into the city though, the framerate is terrible. The graphics also become significantly worse. So yeah, wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of those negative reviews are from PC players having to deal with Bethesda jank again.

A lot of these people who love defending Epic also treat them as if they didn’t do anything to earn their reputation for being shitty back then.

From what I remember, some of the content was already on the disk.

Ah, looked more into it and yes, it appears I was mistaken. What got Bowser though is that it appears that they also set up access to roms though I don’t know if this was included in the purchase of the device.

This was from one of his e-mails:

“I [am] going to be busy setting up the ‘underground’ stuff (rompacks, coverarts, emulators) on maxconsole forums, that will also help on ‘grey side’ of the device for those wishing to play more than original snes cartridges,” Bowser wrote in an email quoted in the indictment against him.

“We have a plan in the works to have secure links to these retro rompacks on a protected server, so it will not be a problem,” Bowser said in another quoted email.

Here’s an article that has more details on what happened.

Didn’t they monetize the website through subscriptions?

Isn’t Cyberpunk 2077 also based on the RPG system with the same name?

Based on what I read, they mitigated the situation by shooting the guy outside which resulted in zero injuries inside the school, rather than doing an Uvalde where the shooter was given free reign to continue shooting.

Unreal World is probably one of the more interesting roguelikes I’ve ever seen but never played. Also, a lot of people talk about Dwarf Fortress, but don’t mention the adventure mode which is a more standard roguelike adventure, but still very interesting because of the stuff that can happen and how powerful you can get.

First impressions matter and Epic fucked up big time when they launched the store. There were a lot of missing features that were available on other storefronts and it was a pain to use. Another thing that really pissed people off was when they made exclusivity deals for games that were crowdfunded. A lot of people did not like that they lost the ability to play on a platform that they preferred when they directly contributed to a game being made. It was also scummy to make deals for games that were already announced on Steam (i.e. Metro: Exodus, Darq) While the store is better now and they’re funding games instead of making exclusivity deals, there is a reason why a lot of people do not trust Epic or continue to dislike them despite the free games.

Epic Games hasn’t done it much lately, but when they first launched they paid a few big games to be Epic Games Store exclusives which is obviously anti-consumer behaviour.

Exclusivity deals on their own were pretty bad, but what really pissed people off was that some of the games that were made exclusive were crowdfunded.

I think they’re funding games now so that there’s less backlash to exclusivity.

They decided to go John Oliver only too, except people are now posting normal content and just putting a small John Oliver somewhere in the original picture.

This is also why I don’t mind the John Oliver stuff. It’s interesting for now, but it will get boring. I just hope it doesn’t get stupid like what happened on r/aww

This isn’t possible long term because infinite growth isn’t possible.

I could never grasp why the growth needs to be constantly growing instead of the business just consistently being able to generate profits. It’s not sustainable.

Yeah, I think this was the add-on that allowed me to remove those cards near the end of the video. I hated those.

It’s not an official guide but CyricZ’s guides to the Yakuza series. Very informative and easy to follow.

Comer spent hours that day carpet bombing the Does with racist text and voice messages. Not satisfied, he decided to show the Does that he knew where they lived and could assault them there. Comer used an anonymous number to place a cash on delivery order with Domino’s Pizza for a virtually inedible, odiferous pizza. Comer instructed the delivery driver to “knock at least five times” on the Does’ door because he would purportedly be wearing headphones and so would need loud, insistent banging to learn of the pizza’s arrival. And he sent the order cash-on-delivery, to increase the chances of conflict between the Does and the delivery driver. Id. Comer again used the alias “Clay Bramston,” the same name he used on his voice and text messages. The order was dispatched to the Does’ home as a form of threat. Comer used Domino’s online order tracking system to confirm that the Does had received his pizza-shaped threat. Comer then left K. Doe another voicemail, telling her to “enjoy the pizza.”

That harasser is insane. There is no doubt that Bungie should have won.
