  • Well, there is the candid footage captured of her saying there are "thousands of videos, all little kids". And I have no reason to believe that particular statement was a lie. We know there was a ton of porn on there, and a ton of CSAM. Videos take up a lot of space.

    As I said, there is also going to be a ton of material that's withheld because it's incriminating. That's pretty much confirmed. But not all 14 TB are going to be proof of Trump's crimes in black and white, a lot of it is just going to be CSAM.

  • Yes. Last update was two years ago. Ljdawson is busy on other projects. I don't think Lemmy ever took off enough to be worthwhile for him to work on. To me it seems Sync was always a business rather than a passion project and the user base around here is not big enough to be profitable the way it was on Reddit.

    It's a shame because I used to be a Sync user and liked it a lot. I am fully converted to Summit now, though. idunnololz is a great developer who has close communication with the community.

  • I haven't played myself because I don't have friends to play with but maybe something like PEAK or Abiotic Factor?

  • They are obviously withholding incriminating documents too, but a lot of the sheer file size of what hasn't been released is going to be many many terabytes of CSAM.

  • Sync was never really fully operational before it got abandoned. It's still got several pretty severe bugs. I love it, but it is what it is.

    I recommend Summit instead, personally.

  • I've heard similar stories before. It seems like one of those games that either clicks with you and becomes your favourite thing ever, or you just bounce off. I don't think I've ever heard a single person say "eh, I finished it and it was alright". I am somewhat scared I'd react like you, which is why I haven't given it a shot yet. Also because of all the stuff about anxiety and existential dread I've heard people say it induces and... Well I have enough of that as it is.

  • I like this a lot.

  • I had no idea either tbh, I Googled it after making the initial comment because I was curious.

  • I was moreso talking about the future of gaming monetisation.

  • Paying for a game you don't own, only to have to rent the gameplay inside the thing you don't even own to begin with. Presumably all content also being locked on company servers meaning it will get EOL'd and inaccessible at some point in the future.

    Immaculate.

  • Yeah that tracks.

  • I have no idea why it's been prioritised for the iOS app store, but either it's a case of its creator being an iPhone user, or American I guess (I believe iPhone still has a majority market share in the US).

  • It's available, but I don't know about ready. You can register freely, you can download a phone app (through apk) and you can scroll. When I tried it the other week it still failed to deliver any worthwhile content in a quick enough time. I don't think the recommendation algorithm is good enough (although there also just isn't a ton of stuff on there in general).

    It does also lack a lot of features, I think the biggest one is a built-in editor. Right now every video must be single take and that's going to be in the way of mass adoption.

  • It's the best game of all time, I think. Nothing else in gaming has ever moved me like the awful phonecall or the final dream.

  • I am so excited for this, I really hope it delivers.

  • That was my interpretation as well.

  • I've also run into this, and it can drive me up the walls some times too. Where Winds Meet was another one of those examples that I heard some people call a Soulslike. It's possible we are heading towards a branching of the genre into Soulslike and Souls-lite, much like Roguelikes did once.

    To me there are two fundamental aspects of the genre - one concerning the general structure and one concerning the combat.

    Structure

    A true Soulslike has progression currency you can temporarily lose if you die, and can permanently lose if you fail to do something (typically recover your corpse). Combined with this, a true Soulslike has levels whose enemies are respawned and reset every time you die.

    Combat

    Soulslike combat is defined by stamina management, animation lock, limited healing and iframing (either though dodge rolls, parries or both). The flow of Soulslike combat is a balance between all four of these factors. They are all equally important to the feel of combat. I could also be persuaded to add a fifth element of "pattern recognition", as the games tend to want you to solve the combat equation by memorising specific boss attack patterns to know where you can punish.

    I could see a world where a game with a structure that is Soulslike but a combat that isn't (for example, having no stamina) could be called Souls-lite.

  • After seeing that image I'm sold: we need an official crossover O&S skin for Mo & Krill whenever Deadlock releases.
