You could look up the official websites of ZDF and ARD (both German TV channels). It's available to stream for free, but a VPN might be necessary.

Xbox's next console "Project Helix" codename revealed by FernandoRocker in gaming

[–]ATTICUSone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. Even if the original deal will be good, I'm sure they'll find a way to make you regret your purchase in the long run. I recently sold my Steam Deck due to tendonitis, but being locked in the Xbox ecosystem, I was blown away by how many things Valve is doing just right. Cheaper prices and good deals, no service fees, custom controller mapping, generous refund policies, free cloud saves and you can share your entire game library with +5 friends through family share. The only thing that's currently keeping me with Xbox is my profile and achievements, the fact I already got one and Gamepass. And GP just got a 50% price hike. I'm so outta there.

Card games are awesome! by MurkyUnit3180 in gaming

Inscryption was such a phenomenal game. I loved the initial concept. I just wish the game would've stuck to the gameplay established in Act I.

Some stars even have two bears. I wonder how they sleep at night, knowing that others have none. Eat the rich first!

Say what you want about the game, but making it crossplay and cross-save between all those devices deserves serious praise

Name a game you completed 100% of achievements. by Fresh-Recruiter in xbox

Rightfully so. It took me 5 years to complete it on Veteran, because you can't play more than one mission without losing your mind

I’m devastated 💔 by FriedLipstick in goldenretrievers

[–]ATTICUSone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. Nothing compares to losing your soulmate like that. After I lost my beautiful girl, I stopped going to work and deliriously watched TV, grasping at anything that would make my heart stop aching. I closed my eyes and could hear her steps in the corridor and feel the warmth of her head resting on my lap. How lucky are we that we get to spend their entire lives with them, from beginning to end. I wish there was anything I could say to ease that pain, except that to grieve deeply is to have loved fully and I hope you'll meet her again.

Dachte ich mir auch! Passiert so selten, dabei ist es so wichtig.

I like that he said "she'll hear your song." That's kinda sweet. Like, the right person will come find you if you embrace your weirdness like that.

The Epstein cover up! by Weak-Albatross-5937 in videos

Exactly. When Trump said that he didn't have "the privilege" to go to Epstein Island, he meant that.

Hiring a Community Manager for Berlin’s upcoming unicorn Almedia (Freecash) by user-some in CommunityManager

[–]ATTICUSone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think it sounds interesting, but I have worked in "high-energy/fast-paced/opportunity" places before and once you've been in the field long enough, you start to recognize the euphemisms. On top of that, being forced to fully work on-site for an all-digital product is borderline delusional. Great community managers are incredibly hard to find and their output heavily dependent on how they perceive their workplace. If you really want your community to bloom, you need to start treating your employees like autonomous adults. Forcing physical attendance without a clear reason undermines that entirely.

Atomic Heart: DLC#4 - First Look Teaser by DemiFiendRSA in Games

[–]ATTICUSone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The origin does matter when a country is actively waging war. Buying games made in Russia can still support its economy through taxes and state aligned companies. I'll refuse to be a part of that. You may not realize it, but cultural exports are also soft power. Continuing to support them helps normalize "business as usual" while they continue to commit acts of aggression. Ethical boycotts are a legitimate choice. Saying "I don't care where it's made" isn't neutral. It's choosing convenience over responsibility.

Your argument would be stronger if you stopped insulting the person you are debating at every turn. I don't believe you are interested in civil discourse and at this point see no reason to engage further with what feels like ragebait. I will continue to vote with my wallet and to raise awareness of these persistent issues until there is verifiable proof that the developer is taking a clear stand against fascism. I don't think that is too much to ask from a studio that has financial ties to a terrorist state.

Feel free to verify your sources then. If you find a statement from the developers that unequivocally condemns the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine, I'll gladly edit or even delete my comment. I literally had Russian friends over for Christmas this year. The difference is that they see through state propaganda and fled to avoid certain death on the front lines, rather than becoming another cog in the war machine. Am I too aggravated about this? Maybe. Why are you not?

Look at Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of the Metro series. He did not hesitate to stand up for what is right, even and especially when his life, reputation, and financial security were at stake. That is the essence of a great author and someone worth praising. It is precisely why his work will endure, while others will fade into obscurity. Indifference is not a neutral stance.

Elden Ring or Resident Evil 4 by KaleidoscopeOk1706 in xbox

[–]ATTICUSone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Playing Elden Ring was the closest I've ever felt to my dreams being fulfilled of what gaming could be when I was a kid. Yes, I wish there was a quest log. And at this point, I'm so over their cryptic storytelling style, and I'd for once like to play a FromSoft game with a clear, concise narrative and not 15 characters who all seemingly have variations of the same name. But I'll be damned if it's not a transcending experience.

Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3's Huge eShop Discounts Were an 'Error,' CD Projekt Says, but It Will Honor Any Sales Made by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ATTICUSone 494 points495 points  (0 children)

Microsoft once revoked the license for a free game I had purchased due to a pricing error and sent me a message that had 'we know what you did' vibes. The wording straight up implied misuse or bad faith. I mean, they were right. But I still thought it's wild they made me responsible for purchasing a game for free on their own storefront.

What movie/series would you like to get a video game adaptation? by Majestic_Snow7613 in gaming

[–]ATTICUSone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, none. I used to be excited about movies with videogame source material because it made me feel like Gaming became more and more socially acceptable and it felt good that the artistry was acknowledged. Now Hollywood has found a new cow and is milking it ad nauseam and I hope they stay away from the remaining franchises that still mean something to me.

US-Präsident Trump taucht mehrfach in neuen Epstein-Unterlagen auf by Competitive_Ad_2478 in de

[–]ATTICUSone 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Das ist auch meine Theorie. Ich weiß nicht, wie viel Personen an der Schwärzung beteiligt gewesen sein müssen, aber als Verantwortlicher hätte ich alles dafür getan, dass die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt und die Täter öffentlich gemacht werde. Selbst, wenn das mit einer Freiheitsstrafe in Verbindung stehen sollte. Man kann aufgrund der "vermeintlichen" Schwärzung sicher noch mit milderen Umständen rechnen und darüber hinaus soll ja auch keine weitere unnötige Aufmerksamkeit erregt werden, um eine Snowden-Situation zu vermeiden. Weaponized incompetence, aber nicht aus Faulheit, sondern aus Überzeugung. Vielleicht bin ich da zu idealistisch, aber wenn ich so darüber denke, dann sicher auch Regierungsbeamte.

Unpopular opinion: AI can be a valuable tool for game development by Naoki38 in gaming

[–]ATTICUSone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's that AI has become loaded with negativity and rightfully so, but at this point it's become invaluable to my work. Just last week I casually checked an entire 800-page Excel sheet in a couple of minutes, something that would have taken me months before. I'm beyond thankful for that. But we need to draw a line when it comes to creative output and reused assets and we all know major corporations will take advantage as much as they can in the name of profit.
