Every Minecraft update changing one or two classic textures slowly remaking the game into something different and uglier. Like each day you wake up and see your favorite painting dabbed with a new brushstroke or your favorite statue with random chisel marks in it. Sad, disrespectful, offensive, etc

Plenty of people were effectively forced to obtain smartphones. I was young enough to be given one for "safety reasons" so I would always be reachable. But many were forced to adopt them for their jobs. Just a less visible gun at your head.

What is up with the texture changes? New feature is awesome I love it but please stop changing the classic textures for no reason. Can whoever on the team does this just make their own texture pack instead of forcing it on everyone?

I found this file inside Control Resonant while reverse engineering the game. It's from a test district called "outside area". It seems the devs wanted to delete this but couldn't for one reason or another. Fascinating look behind the game dev curtain! Thanks to @remedygames.com for the great game!

I think a lot of this comes right from Christianity. I mean 80% of America believes in a book that says Animals were created as souless meat machines for our benefit. Not surprising that leads to a lot of people who don't care about animals.

I just released a new mod for Dark Souls Remastered that restores the game's three Unused/Cut Content Rings! This is the first time these rings have been restored with their original functionality fully recreated. Download here: www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsrem... #darksouls #gaming #modding #mods

Cut Content Rings Restored

Restores the three cut content rings: Ring of Displacement, Ring of Condemnation, and Ring of Blind Ghosts. The original intended effect for each ring has been recreated.

Mojang's update philosophy for Bedrock is so onerous for mod devs. Updates randomly modify internal data with no notice, sending devs like me on a wild goose chase to fix it. A package like "2.6.0-beta" might randomly change to "2.7.0-beta" with no notice and break mods. It's killing the ecosystem.

It is true. It’s in the TOS. They never said they had a machine that would detect hacked switches and break them. Just that they have the right to if they want to. Go read the TOS, it’s in there. OP is talking about the system being automatically bricked from tampering which was never claimed.

Nick’s Computer @nsar.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

They claim to have the Right to do it but that never meant they had a system in place to do it automatically all the time. Please correct this tweet specifically because folks are already getting misinformed in your replies. Nintendo only claimed the right to do so which is still a problem.

Yeah this was a tough read. It’s like the opposite of the truth. Anyone can go look at replies on X and see how much meaner they are there. With X’s link deboosting it’s much more of a closed system than here. It is true that Bsky has a lot of leftist pouters but they’re nicer than the ones on X.

Everyone who buys into nativism thinks that. If you asked an Israeli what the problem was he would say Palestinians. If you want to totally eschew the concept of nativism you need to acknowledge the very popular nativist positions within the US toward Native Americans.

Nick’s Computer @nsar.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Native Americans aren’t natives? Or are you just saying this because you don’t like the idea of “nativism” but support things like reservations? That conflict of opinion is why I brought it up.

Same picture. Privilege is just about recognizing that you’re better off than others. People are telling their kids to wait until Christmas for the Switch 2, they can only afford a $500 splurge once/yr. It’s a blessing to not be in that situation or worse. Nothing shameful about doing good right now

It doesn’t seem to matter. I went to Twitter because Tumblr mgmt made bad choices. I came here because Twitter got sold to Elon. Regardless of Bsky’s performance I will be displaced onto another platform eventually for some reason. It’s like a big party and when one ends we go to the next one.

Same here. I wouldn’t be surprised if higher prices lead to lower revenues as people decide not to buy or wait for the price to go down over time.

Got blocked for saying that games are expensive and a lot of the people buying them are poor. From two guys who work in video games. Gaming has become so toxic toward its own customers. Many of the people who make games hate themselves and the people who buy their stuff. What a pathetic existence.

Nick’s Computer @nsar.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Worst part of game price discourse is it’s not even clear that raising prices will lead to higher revenues. The main reason I don’t support raising prices is because I suspect it will lead to LOWER revenues as fewer people buy the game, a large enough reduction to wipe away the gains from pricing.

It’s honestly insane to go online and tell people that their complaints about the price of something are not valid. If you’re lucky enough to be financially stable then good for you. But fuck off if you’re coming on here to act like what you can afford is what everyone else should pay.

The USA has the most progressive set of human rights in the world, allowing its people to speak freely about difficult topics without fear of government suppression. If that bothers you there are plenty of beautiful countries that will gladly arrest you for unacceptable speech you can move to.
