Can we talk about how cancerous PCGamer is, for a second? I want to read an article, and the screen is like 80% advertising.

There shouldn’t be any problem in using AI to translate something, translation is more or less static. Its no different than someone using a calculator for mathematics equations.

Localizers will still need to check the AI output for contextual accuracy, but they will be able to complete this faster as they can essentially skip a step.

My only issue with translation currently is that localizers often go too far with the liberties they take. Its necessary to ensure people from another culture can understand what is happening. For example, in a language that has no word for “rye bread” or a saying like “you are what you eat” specifically, the localizer may substitute the closest word or phrase that conveys a meaning as close as possible to the original. What is not okay is completely altering large portions of the work because of the localizer’s personal opinion. And unfortunately, because this is entirely on the localizer, no amount of AI can help prevent that. Unless translation AI can be so good that it can even understand context from the various bits of text needing to be translated. Then the developers can just use it themselves. But AI has a while to go before it gets to that point.

Sony started the $70 game increase. Nintendo is just following Sony, really.

Why didn’t you include Sony in this image? They increased prices even before Nintendo.

Dead By Daylight is kinda a fighting game, in a way, and Capcom had a crossover with it to add Rebecca Chambers into the game as a playable character in one of the two Resident Evil DLCs.

FromSoftware is not a multi-billion dollar company that has major influence on games pricing in the gaming industry, and when game prices jumped to $70 USD, Armored Core 6 released at $60 and Elden Ring Nightreign will release at $40.

Nintendo is not even close.

This was going to happen whether Trump became president or not, because Trump isn’t the problem causing this, it is a way simpler problem: greed.

They’re both going to be dead in less than like 2 years because they are both PvEvP Extraction Looter Shooters. Combining the top 10 playercounts on Steam in this genre adds up to only like 10k more than the peak player count of Helldivers 2, which is a PvE Extraction Shooter. This genre of game, without a PvE only mode, is dead. Its only good for streamers and content creators, because it is fun to watch someone crash out after losing gear they grinded to get for 50+ hours, but the viewers don’t want to play the game because feeling that themselves is not fun.

This genre of games is basically a wet dream for toxic people. Because the PvP players know that the PvE players dont want to fight them, and take advantage of that to camp, grief, etc. What other genre of game rewards a player intentionally ruining someone else’s gaming experience?

I am grateful the toxic sponge exists so I dont have to deal with those players in other games, but these development studios keeps trying to make this genre popular, and it literally can never be popular.

I’ll still buy FromSoft games at full price. But only because I know they won’t disappoint. And Yoko Taro’s games.

But in general, it would be beneficial for more people to spend less on games.

I mean, this is Lemmy. Not exactly a paragon of avoiding spreading misinformation. But I appreciate your integrity nonetheless.

Spez would have been notified still, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he disabled or turned off notifications, even deleting them without reading them or never reading them at all. Most high profile people do that, including CEOs that use their own service or product.

Dude. Save some Goth Girls for the rest of us.

In my area, extremely common target for shoplifters. Like, if there isn’t at least 5 attempts of shoplifting at a Ross store in a few hours, it’s not a Ross store. They usually end up having to close up around here because the losses are so bad. We were down to just one, but it got turned into a TJ Maxx, which is basically the exact same thing.

They usually sell discount and cheap clothing, mostly. They ahve other stuff as well, but they mostly carry clothes.

Great game, but definitely pay attention to the warnings the game gives the player, not only in the game itself but also on its Steam/download page.

Again, amazing game. But not a game for recommendation without a warning of its extremely heavy and violent content.

My first Touhou game was on PC-9801, “The Highly Responsive to Prayers.” I think its the first Touhou game ever made? Not sure. I am not really much of an Outbreak or Arkanoid fan though, so I didn’t really care for it.

Then I tried “The Story of Eastern Wonderland,” which was extremely different from the previous game. I liked it more, but danmaku Shmup style games aren’t really my thing. They’re fine for a 30 minute stint, but I usually don’t play those kinds of games any longer than that.

I am sure Touhou has branched out since then, is there a Touhou game you might recommend that is different from those?

Danganronpa v3 really did Kirumi Tojo dirty.

Yes, of course. Because only a Nazi would be concerned with trying to be respectful of victims of the awful, inhumane treatment they had to endure under the rule of one of the worst, if not the worst, governments of all time. Thank you. I should have realized this sooner.

I mean, was not when I said “4th Reich” including Neo-Nazis? I thought that is what I included.

Just to be clear, I do not support Nazis or Neo-Nazis. But American Democrats and Republicans (or any other ideology that may be different from my own) are not Nazis or Neo-Nazis. I don’t agree with either side of American politics, but that does not make me qualify them as Nazis.

IMO, calling anyone that is not an actual, real Nazi, such as an American Democrat or Republican (or whoever else thinks opposite from me), a “Nazi” or even “Neo-Nazi,” de-values the real suffering that people who are actual Holocaust victims had to deal with. Quite frankly, is insulting to me that anyone would ever attempt to equate the two. Its like saying getting hit by a fly swatter and a train will be the same level of pain and suffering.

I might think someone who thinks opposite of me is stupid, but it is neither illegal or against any rules to be stupid (sadly). But I certainly would not call them a Nazi and de-value the suffering Holocaust victims had to go through.

• And also patching in their spyware they just got fined for, which will likely mean they have to patch the game again soon to remove it or add a disclaimer for it

I bet it was Titanfall 3.
