Would it help if she was 400 pounds? Then it’s body positivity, and we’re allowed to like that!
Shalakushka@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Fallout 76 Is More Popular Than Ever On Steam, Thanks To The TV Show267·1 year agoSo, apparently you can make as shitty a game as you like, as long as there’s a streaming tie in people will eat that shit up. - the lesson publishers will get from this whole thing
I guess it worked for Cyberpunk.
Shalakushka@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Mass Effect 5 is in good hands, as its director confirms the long-awaited RPG sequel is being led by four BioWare veterans7·1 year agoPlease don’t continue to beat this dead horse. What made Mass Effect great was Drew Karpyshyn’s ideas and world building, a solid cast of characters, along with a lot of superb visual design. Mass Effect had such an interesting, detailed, lived-in universe. The quality of writing in the games after the first is perfectly proportional to the amount of Drew Karpyshyn’s involvement, and it sharply declines after the first. A fifth game made purely out of a corporate desire for profit and not to tell a story is unlikely to yield better results, in my mind - see Mass Effect: Andromeda for evidence on that.
Shalakushka@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Mass Effect 5 is in good hands, as its director confirms the long-awaited RPG sequel is being led by four BioWare veterans4·1 year agoIt’s probably the fact that the writing was god awful. The gameplay was OK if repetitive, but Mass Effect with bad writing is just Binary Domain.

Just kidding, Nomura and his enablers are the worst thing to happen to JRPGs
Shalakushka@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Final Fantasy music legend Nobuo Uematsu thinks modern ‘movie-like’ game music is uninteresting | VGC135·1 year agoIronic that he basically kick-started the trend he criticizes with One Winged Angel, but maybe that’s why it gets to him.
Shalakushka@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Chrono Trigger Director Asks What Fans Would Want In A Remake11·1 year agoNo thank you, the VII remake feels like they are making the rest of the game in the next room. “No, you can’t do the next part, you have to collect flowers for orphans and have a motorcycle chase.” Constantly buying time with stupid crap.
The original was well paced and fun, they would undoubtedly fuck it up and have Tetsuya Nomura write it.
Shalakushka@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•How does FromSoftware release AAA games so frequently? Elden Ring boss says "we are just blessed with a great staff" that the studio empowers and retains4·1 year agoMetal Wolf Chaos should factor into all discussion, even those that have nothing to do with FromSoft.
LET’S PARTYYYYY!
Shalakushka@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Everything is explained away in Evolution by Natural Selection. Natural Selection makes sense if there is a Supreme Creator but in the absence of one why does it exist?1·1 year agoYou have a lot of terms conflated in a way that tells me you would benefit from learning more about these ideas.
Natural selection is the opposite of a motivation. All it really is this: Traits that help an organism live to reproduce or do not adversely affect its opportunity or ability to reproduce will continue to propagate in a population of organisms. Traits that hinder an organism in reproducing or adversely affect its opportunity or ability to reproduce will gradually be expressed less. There isn’t a motivation for that, it’s a self-selecting process. If an organism can’t reproduce, it can’t pass its traits on to the next generation. If it can reproduce, it can pass its traits on to the next generation.
Life isn’t motivated to survive because an omnipotent superintelligence wants it to be. All the life that didn’t give a shit about surviving didn’t live long enough to propagate.
Natural selection does not provide an origin for life or the universe. I agree with the other poster who mentions that organic matter - and life - is a result of the basic nature of matter in the universe. I wouldn’t say I know much about the origin of the universe, but inserting a god into it just kicks the can down the road. Every issue you might have with the big bang is just moved one completely unverifiable step away by throwing a god into the equation. Who made god? And, if god can exist without being created, why could not the universe?

And if you think this is a just India thing, that Twitter is not trying to tip the scales toward fascists in your country’s elections, you should think again. This is important to consider wherever you are.

If you’re going to post something long, why oh why use Twitter/bluesky/similar?
