Lol imagine being so late to the discussion that it’s already over, and your thoughts are little more than hindsight, that your newborn child is an unforseen consequence

Edit; incumbent idiots don’t make the rest of us responsible for their mistakes. They fucking on they own, fucking simpasses.

Lol wondering the same thing myself now

That’s not a reason, that’s a question that, in this context, or means the same thing. So someone’s asking a reason for a thing, and you’re saying that reason is “just cause.”

You’re the child that literally nobody wants to talk to, with shit answers like “WHY YOU ASKING WHY?!” 🙄😒

Even if it’s not an MMO, player count can be a very strong indicator of enjoyment/income at a given time. Even if it’s a single player game, player count can show how popular a game is on whole. If a 5yo game still has engagement numbers above newly released games, it’s strongly correlated with studio income/gamer trends.

They can base future decisions on what they did correctly/incorrectly, and develop their next game/dlc/etc with those lessons learned.

Release a game that has nobody playing after a month? Crapbasket. Release a game that has well into a million players despite the age? Fucking masterpiece.

Over here in 'murica, the only news that makes headlines is about either Biden, Trump, Musk, or mass shootings. 🙄

Somebody got called ‘psycho’ a lot in high school and is still salty about it.

Even the non political .ml communities are full of power-tripping, ban-happy, thread-nuking tyrants in my experience.

I’ve been censored/shadowbanned in a couple .ml instances for calling out their overzealous comment-nuking mods. Not even political in nature, just seeing threads where 80-90% of the comments are ‘removed by moderator’ and commenting how suspicious it was.

Then they removed that comment, and after taking a screenshot of the new comment calling out that, I got shadowbanned and can’t even vote there anymore.

Must be because I’m on Voyager then. I can’t find a way to access mod logs through the app.

And now I’ve been shadowbanned. I can’t vote on topics there anymore. I know which user it is too, since there’s only 2 mods and one hasn’t done anything in 3yrs. Hint: it’s OP of the post. Is there a way to report unfavorably run communities to the .ml server owners?

Now they’ve removed my comment that was calling them out, and I didn’t even get a message on why (like I don’t anyway know the answer is ‘mod abuse’).

Yeah my post there got removed and in my inbox it was cited as ‘Spam,’ even though I was commenting on how that post had (as I said previously) most of the comments removed by moderator(s).

Tbh .ml is feeling less and less hospitable every time I interact with the instance, which sucks cause when reddit fell, .ml was my go-to. I don’t even want to use my .ml account anymore on principle.

New Edit: they removed my comment calling them out and I didn’t even get a message saying why (as if I don’t already know). I’ve also updated the link to go to the main thread, since my comments there get deleted by whatever fascist mod is doing it.

Idk if it’s actually a lemmy.ml thing or what, but coming from lemmy.world, every time I see a post from .ml, like half of the comments have been deleted by moderator(s). In general, .ml seems to have really heavy handed censorship and it gives me a really bad perception of .ml overall.

Really good game if you’re into modern Civilization games. It’s like if you crossed Civ 5 with Dungeons and Dragons.

Lol you sweet summer child

Eggman is his actual name though. When it was brought to America it was localized as ‘Robotnik’ without the creators consent.

As far as the creator/developers are concerned, Robotnik is the ‘stupid moniker,’ as you put it.

My Chihuahua mix is a very eager lapdog, couch potato, and bedbug. However if she is in any of those places and I say, ‘excuse me,’ or, ‘I gotta get up,’ then she knows it’s time for her to move and gets out of the way for me.

Likely less of a hardware thing and more of a, “made with a ten year old engine that was discontinued seven years ago.”

Originally I was gonna say Unreal Engine 5 only has a smallish performance hit when Lumen Global Illumination is enabled, but when I looked up the helldivers engine, they outright cite its discontinuing for, “not being able to compete against UE and Unity.”

Edit: the engine is Autodesk Stingray, since I failed to name it.

Edit 2: apparently Helldivers 2 was in production since before Stingray was discontinued, but still, why’d they try to put GI in such an old engine? Did nobody consider the stress a new lighting model would apply to an engine that barely existed before the idea of GI?

Man I been hyped for this update! I never played Helldivers, but as an ST fan, I loved that it parodied ST. I still remember when Helldivers 2 came out and the servers shat the bed, so everyone came to check out Extermination, then the population died once Helldivers fixed the servers.

Hopefully this update brings people back, I grinded max level during those two weeks, and I can’t wait to saddle my SAW extended mag with me to other classes! Aaaaauuuugh patch had to come out on my cousins birthday didn’t it?!
