  • I work with multiple languages and I haven't heard of LLMs being used instead of Deeply/Google translate.

    Don't really see the reason to switch to LLMs.

  • Arguably as far a small minority of fanboys are concerned, it already has cult-like properties.

  • Chris Roberts is the person behind the star citizen scheme.

  • One would almost think they are having a laugh, but no it's for real (I don't think are intentionally trying to come up with such comically stupid naming policies).

  • I've been putting in a lot effort into !tycoon@lemmy.world for more than a year now (I enjoy the tycoon game genre). Recently I started modding/curating !crpg@lemmy.world and it's almost surprising how much faster the community is growing (MAUs, but also engagement).

    It makes sense, RPG games are far more popular than business sim games, just funny to see this dynamic firsthand.

  • Half-Life 1 (and expansions)

    SimCity 3000, SimCity 4

    Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

    Deus Ex

    Zoo Tycoon

    Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail

    Morrowind

    Industry Giant 2

    Fallout 1/2

    Arcanum

    SimTower

  • The fallout CRT retro-arcade is awesome!

  • Crosswind looks promising, will need to add it to my tracking list.

    Those PC88 screenshots! So damn beautiful, they ooze style.

    Thanks for this!

  • It's claimed that in addition to exploiting its dominant position, Sony bans other potential app stores from having access to the PlayStation platform.

    It would be fascinating if this lawsuit forces Sony to open their platform to 3rd party stores. I am assuming they would be far more opposed to this than even any multi-hundred million euro fines.

  • That's a compelling review. I will have to check it out.

    I am surprised I've never heard of the game before, it's been out since 2019.

  • ML is trash. It's a septic tank of degenerates, "communist" role players and the mentally ill (e.g. Dessalines who claims that North Korea is a great place to live and that there is massive conspiracy to discredit them).

    When I first encountered Dessalines, I assumed he was a demagogue and he was knowingly lying, but it seems his word salad is actually genuine.

    I do hope that one day all ML tankies end up in a russian internment camp; it's only fair for them to experience what they wish upon Ukrainians. The funny thing is russia is a hyper-capitalist, authoritarian, plutocratic shithole.

  • Nah ML is trash. Moving off the remaining non-tankie communities would be a good thing for Lenny as whole.

  • I wasn't aware. He is stepping down, but only after the company will be split into 3 parts.

    Funny stuff!

  • Except for the fact that the CEO wasn't fired even though he made a comically lazy and incompetent mistake (going on a buying spree before confirming that the investment would go through).

  • Never heard about this one. Thanks for sharing!

  • Sopuli is Finnish, some Euro community are on there, although there are many generic communities as well.

  • From the Risks and challenges section of their Kickstarter:

    We understand that backing a Kickstarter campaign carries a certain level of risk for our backers. With our seasoned team at the helm, we've meticulously planned every aspect of the game's development to adhere to strict budgets and timelines, all while prioritizing the best player experience possible.

    Our extensive network of trusted studios and partners further fortifies our ability to deliver on our promises and ensure the utmost quality for our project. Your support means the world to us, and we're dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction throughout this journey.

    Why didn't they include the point about needing additional investment beyond their Kickstarter target for the project to be viable?

  • Volunteer PR work (including knowingly spreading misinformation) is extremely common for all fanboys, it's a Nintendo specific thing.

    EDIT: I meant to say it's not a Nintendo only/specific thing. It's true of all hardcore fanboys, even outside of game.

  • Diablo 1 and 2 were totally fine. There was no trash monetiziation around them (haven't played the remaster of D2, so can't speak for it).
