Been following the development of this game since before the kickstarter began and imo the demo is so good, I hope more attention on it will help it with funding.

I met my partner of several years by chance through lfg-ing in D2, so I can never bring myself to hate the game, but as much as I loved it from time to time and stuck with it for so long, it is without a doubt one of the messiest and most mismanaged major titles I have ever seen.

Old design is cute, but I think I'm already past any resistance to a change and I have to say that I like the new design more

I feel like feathers-as-fingers for anthro bird characters works with more cartoony styles, but I am not a fan of how it looks at this level of detail.

We've somehow backslid from "I don't know how to explain that you should care about other people" to "I don't know how to explain that you should care about the world you yourself live in"

Glad artists post here and not twitter anymore, but also sending refs for commissions is an extra pain here without being able to send them directly

All that talk to announce at the end that he's an incurious little child uninterested in even hearing anyone he's already deemed bad in his mind. What a pathetic loser this guy is.

Got that vibe from the demo. Seemed interesting, but immediately a lot of awkwardness in the animations and the combat just did not feel good.

What's more wild to me is that Destiny 2's current seasonal activity is effectively an extraction shooter lite mode, and it *does* let the player opt in or out of PvP enabled instances. Somehow, Destiny 2 got the feature I heard so many people hoping Marathon would have.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die.

Trans people are my allies and if my government chooses to see them as an enemy than the government is my enemy as well. Fuck the state. Fuck the creep pedophiles that run shit. We will win and we will make a better world with them not in it, and some day we will laugh and dance on their graves.

He's definitely seemed to be part of the "edgy" (i.e. usually just racist) era of the Newgrounds crowd, and unfortunately from what I have heard, has since only doubled down on all of that while pushing away anyone remotely critical of his behavior.

Starting a thought with "we are the best" and ending it with the goal of looking "very different" would be hilarious if I wasn't sure that turning the entire company into another right-wing mouthpiece or killing it in the process weren't absolutely their goals from the start.

"What radicalized you" I dunno, empathy? Being aware that other people are thinking, feeling beings with their own lives?

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

The only reason they are even capable of their scale of violence is because of how much the government has equipped them for it. Any time they are not overwhelming people with gas or equipment, they show themselves as the weak cowards that they are.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers Remembered spending almost every day of a summer break years ago hanging out at a friend's house and playing this, but did not even recall the title of the game until very recently

America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor
In a telephone interview this morning with The Atlantic, President Donald J. Trump issued a threat against Venezuela’s Interim President Delcy Rodríguez, saying that, “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro,” adding that he would not stand for Rodríguez’s “defiant rejection” of military intervention by the United States. 

Additionally, during the interview, President Trump reaffirmed that Venezuela may not be the last country subject to American intervention, or even that it would remain isolated to Latin America, clearly stating, “We do need Greenland, absolutely,” while describing the island which is a part of Denmark, a close-ally and member of NATO, as “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.”

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets. Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

Like I'm fascinating with the Larian thing mostly because I'm sure Vincke genuinely believed he and his team are using AI 'responsibly' - they're not releasing AI slop, everything released is "done by artists", etc. There's simply no interrogation with the philosophy the tool represents.

I am not sure CEOs (who mostly talk to moneymen and hang out on LinkedIn) fully understand how much the AI technology they and everyone in their circle agrees is the Next Big Thing is utterly loathed by the rest of the world. These are people resistant to the idea that tech can have an ideology.

Like, they're even just ignoring what words mean. The "final product" is what the process *produces*. Even if they remove or replace the things directly produced by ai before release, it has definitively affected the final product.
