Makes sense to be on that site, since a lot of Lemmy users are probably interested at least in part due to the FOSS nature of it. Maybe it doesn't need to be phrased as a "warning" though, more just as an FYI. Seems like it could scare people away thinking it's a data harvesting tool, but such is life.

Haven't they also had some wild hot takes on certain albums? Maybe it should come down on the specific reviewer but I think Pitchfork took the reputation of being kinda off its rocker.

Yeah that's kinda strange. Hardware shouldn't be included in top game sales...

I think it's that but also a lot of stuff about the culture in Blizzard itself has come to light, maybe as a result of the extra optics the Activision merger had on the company. Activision can certainly take some heat here but let's not pretend Blizzard itself is a golden child.

The fuck does the title mean with XXXX? A joke on their AAAA Skull and Bones claim? The article does not elaborate.

I think it's just a matter of trends and design theory. For a long time you couldn't escape the orange/blue combo like in the Battlefield series artwork. Plus I don't think all these titles really released at the "same" time.

What a nothing title for your game.

Seems to be the way. I assume it's for investor hype but I don't know.

There are 3rd party tools you can use (you'll have to figure that out yourself tho, I haven't used them myself) but AFAIK there's no legit way to get a trade-evolved mon without trading, and unfortunately there are no wild Machamp in Sun/Moon.

I don't really have a good answer for you, but I mean you yourself used the word "resistant" to exploits, not impervious. Nothing is bulletproof, so if a user has any concern, rational or not, what's the harm in covering it?

Maybe your question really doesn't have to do with the webcam question, it's more about the level of trust you should or should not have in your software. And that, to me, depends largely on the individual.

Not sure on that but I remember Dark Souls 2 had that problem. Weapon durability I think was tied to framerate, so when people played it at 60fps instead of 30, you had to have repair powder on you at all times or your weapons were going to break mid-fight.

It's definitely not made to be Dark Souls/Nioh/Sekiro in terms of combat, it's closer to being Assassins Creed or Far Cry, though much more grounded and a little more thoughtful than those two. For me, the combat was not the thing keeping me interested, and that's fine. I was more than happy to just travel from POI to POI since the world was so beautiful, and the little samurai challenges were neat (bamboo cutting for example) and the duels were super cool and cinematic, even if the combat wasn't particularly deep.
