Don’t make dying harder than it has to. I really hate the mechanic in Hollow Knight where you had to go back to the place you died and battle your shade. It’s extremely punishing and unfun (for me). Compare that with Ori where, when you die, there is no extra penalty and the reload is almost instant, so you immediately get to go again. It keeps me in the flow.
For that same reason, bosses should only have a grand entrance, cut scene, etc once. When I die and go again I want to immediately fight him, I don’t want to have to sit through the same scene 30 times just because I suck. Not even if it’s just 5 seconds long. So, second time make sure the boss is spawned and waiting.
It’s not a crazy idea. But it’s also perfectly reasonable for the game publisher to not involve themselves with mods.
2·20 days agoYup, so they know how to fix this! Makes me wonder why they didn’t. Not enough time? Or does the base decay mechanic also have downsides that would work poorly with Dune?
Why would it be in-game or a steam announcement? The malware was in a mod, not the base game. Mod authors can’t post game announcements. So, at best you get a comment of the workshop or on nexus.

Enshittification is not driven by the founders (mostly, fuck Zuckerberg). It’s driven by greedy investors who want their billion dollar unicorn payout and who who will risk a hundred company failures to get it.
A lot of tech companies that manage to resist outside investors are doing just fine.
2·22 days agoThis is really cool. Thank you!
I’d wager that a lot of these could be profitable, just not profitable enough. Investors don’t want solid slow and steady business. They want billion dollar unicorns.
Do they integrate with Home Assistant?
Another fun fact: the music for that ad was also stolen
All public websites need SSL.
Nothing. They should do exactly that. As usual the US government has proven that it cannot be trusted or relied on.

After the OGL debacle, nobody should trust WotC or Hasbro
My personal pet theory is that these weirdo’s are just afraid of dying. Christianity is fundamentally a death cult. Die now and get rewarded in heaven. But these extreme evangelicals found a loophole: the rapture. During the end times god saves all the true believers. Boom, a one way ticket to heaven without having to die. So these lunatics are actively trying to make the end times happen so they don’t miss out and they don’t have to die.
Get a Roborock. I love my S7 vac + mop. I have two long haired cats and a kid. It’s awesome!
Why hasn’t RocketWerkz not switched away from Unity for their upcoming projects? It should have been clear after the install fee debacle that Unity cannot be trusted.
