Read the issue. It’s in there.

I fear those that are going down the path love sycophants and AI is perfect for that. When your ego gets in the way with building any real equal connection.

I cannot use Reddit on my phpme since they blocked Slide. Lemmy is enough for me.

They have in Windows and Linux, just not MacOS. That is if you actually read what you posted. Or was that point not conducive to you looking for a stick to hit Mozilla with? (And there are plenty available)

I… like this joke and haven’t heard it before!

Is this allowed or do I have to shit on it to be cool?

I haven’t seen this one. Enjoyed it.

There is a relevant xkcd for this, but I’ll mark it as a lazy load.

Dungeon Keeper didn’t need one. Best game made IMHO. Bullfrog were excellent, but what happened to this guy later in his career, I have no idea.

Missed this comment. Appreciate the info, thanks.

A 4chaner has friends? Fake nerd copium.

No, they just don’t have the same principles as us. I love Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the same level of smaller active communities. There is more work for us to do.

As someone who never played it, how do you power wash for 60 hours?

I’m quite impressed you’ve been running Windows 10 on a HDD. It was dog slow for me, especially starting up and how I started using Linux.

This is why you have requirements which are agreed upon and affect payment if not upheld. If you start being firmer, they might move quicker. 24 month lead team is bullshit.

Do they do testing? Is there no SLA on bug fixes and availability? That should be essential come renewal time.

I was glad when crypto hype died down and folk could buy graphics cards again.

Now this. They can fuck off.

Everyone turn your AI off in your search engine. Avoid AI, don’t encourage this shit. Bubble will pop quicker.

So he’s capable enough to add new islands and content, but not change a trigger on how to save. One button. Same logic…

A buggy mod by someone who didn’t write it doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Many mods are of poor standard and don’t have access to the same code or the facilitate a way to change something, so they often have to work around whatever APIs are exposed.

It is a dark pattern. You can like a game and someone and still be able to be critical of a game design decision they make. Not everyone is good or bad. A hero or villain. No one is perfect.

I guess so, you just cannot quit midway through a day without losing progress or sleeping early and losing a day. There is a negative cost that forces to play to when the dev chooses rather than you.

Great game, great developer, but it is a dark pattern.

This one is a fair point.

Some games do create a need to depend on some. For example, in Old School Runescape, you make a decision in a quest and rely on someone who made a different decision. You cannot change it and you do depend on them. So they may feel obliged to reciprocate. The obligation is created due to a game design decision rather than because of an intrinsic decision of players.

Some games are set in such a way where you cannot of progress without assistance. New players can get locked out of progression. Maybe this could be relevent in those cases.

The years are on the first few, but not after? It would help with context to have years on each.

I’m curious. Which of those do you think aren’t a dark pattern?

Are they really not dark, or are they so common now that it has become accepted.

For example, I love Stardew Valley but the inability to pause, and instead complete the day is a dark pattern.
