Trying to get people to abandon zero utility lawns that require constant mowing and fertilizer is an uphill battle

its weird too, you’d think “stop doing that activity universally seen as annoying and boring and nature will be better because of it” would be a seller

(ofc there’s more to it than just stop mowing a lawn, a carefully planned garden takes a lot of effort, but an unmowed lawn is still better than a mowed lawn)

ooooh, well that makes a bit more sense, thank you!

Ooh, that looks polished, I’ll have to look into i- why is hiccup from how to train your dragon there

yea i just found out, but thank you still!

i wish it synced with GOG but, oh well that’ll do

FYI, clicking the “Claim now!” button under a game will still claim the whole bundle

i now own a bunch of porn games cuz i wanted to try Postal 2 -_-

Nintendo Forced to Raise Price of Console due to Thinking of Bigger Number

do you have the same energy towards steam, who capitulated earlier, harder, and hasn’t seemed to be interested in negotiating, despite being much much more powerful and influent than itch?

breasts aren’t inherently sexual. what she’s wearing is just clothing

the problem is the payment processors, not itch

unless you’re fine with crypto, sending cheques by mail or having everything be free, your new platform is gonna get the same problems once it’s big enough to be noticed

microsoft: we just fired entire studios that we bought recently. we are building a master collection of IPs to do nothing with other than passively profit off of them forever using game pass. part of this master plan is to cause large instability in the video game industry through aforementioned licensing. also we are quite literally helping a genocide.

lemmy: oh. that’s kinda shitty but I liked oblivion remastered :)

nintendo: we made our game 80$

lemmy: if anyone even thinks about liking some of your stuff they should be burned at the stake.

<srs> obviously im exaggerating to make a point, and no if you ask I don’t like nintendo. fuck them. but I think the reaction here is a bit disproportionate. a company could do all the evil in the world but as long as they don’t touch the sacrosanct consumer, it’s all good in the eyes of a gamer! </srs>

GOG and itch’s approach to preservation is always gonna be limited by legality, you can’t keep a game on your platform if the publisher requests its delisting; ofc piracy isn’t constrained by this, so it’s inherently better at preservation

at least, since the games on there don’t have DRM, once you have them you keep them (and with GOG, you can also download offline installers that you can reuse on any computer you want). they make piracy (and therefore preservation) way easier in that way, because pirates don’t even need to repack the game!
