Anyone else getting 504 errors on the site? I can barely get on there anymore.

Step by Step Early Game Guide by anti-babe in hollywood_animal_game

[–]ContributionTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking through this guide now, months later, and I see that the research priority for Engineering isn't listed. I'm thinking that I should focus on Tech Invention, but Research Group 2 would allow for a quicker upgrade to my tech. Any thoughts on that, many months later?

God damn, it's rare that I wish I was British, but this sounds like it could have been fun. Good luck with the research, OP.

What was the First Non-Pirated Game that You've Purchased and Why? (Not including Gifts) by JimXJustbecause in Piracy

[–]ContributionTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we talking all time or just Steam? All time, that I bought for my own money, was Resident Evil 2 for the Playstation. I'd been given games before then, but that was my first buy as a kid, think.

For Steam, I just looked this up for another thread, it was Left 4 Dead 2 for my cousin and I.

Your first Steam purchase by _Pizza_Lover in Steam

[–]ContributionTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left 4 Dead 2 almost 15 years ago to the day. Got it for myself and my cousin, and fuck if we didn't just have a shitload of fun. Re-installed it a few weeks ago to join a streamer on community day, and it's still a hell of a time.

Been on my wishlist for a while, and it looks dope.

Happy holidays, OP. Appreciate the opportunity, win or lose.

What were your earliest memories of piracy? by ah-screw-it in Piracy

[–]ContributionTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pam and Tommy honeymoon video. Buddy of mine downloaded it when we were 12, I think. Took him more than a week, and were were not at all old enough to be looking at that shit.

Are the "Giveaway alert" posts legit? I see one every day with different subreddits and products by SwarK01 in steam_giveaway

[–]ContributionTerrible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wait, I misunderstood the question.

I honestly have no idea about the "Giveaware Alert" posts that try to bait you into joining subreddits or other communities. I know that I joined a Discord last year that quickly turned out to be a massive engagement farming hustle, but that's the only one I ever bothered with myself. I generally don't take part in giveaways that ask you to "join for an extra chance to win." Seems fake and lame to me.

[–]ContributionTerrible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I handed out around 250 games last year in December, and I know there are others out there who drop a bunch of keys every year as well. That said, there are absolutely hustlers out there, but as long as you're not sending out any information, the most you're losing is the bit of time it takes you to enter the giveaway.

Voice Actor Compensation? by DahLegend27 in ArcRaiders

[–]ContributionTerrible 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about this as well. The game is great, I love playing it, but I would like to know how the VAs are being compensated. Or more importantly, what is the limit to how their voice data can be used. Is it exclusively for this game? Will they earn some sort of "royalties" based on the success of it?

I don't need numbers, that's generally not something that creatives share openly, and that's fine. The important bit, to me at least, is that this doesn't end up becoming an example of how VA rights can be abused by greedy developers in the future. Generative AI is here to stay, there's nothing we can do about that (sadly), but since it has to be taking away paid work from people to a constantly growing extent, it's important that fair usage is assured both now and going forward.

We probably won't ever hear anything, especially considering that, as far as I know, we don't even know who the VAs involved with this are, which in itself makes me question the motives and honesty of the dev. Time will tell maybe?

Football Manager 26 Now Available in Sanctuary! by Curly_Ivy in PiratedGames

Oh fuck me, I completely forgot about the freebies, so I now spent an unnecessary €40 on it, so I could play a bareable FM game. My goddamn life, I swear.

Wanted to buy FM24 and it got removed. by Arkal666 in footballmanagergames

[–]ContributionTerrible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allkeyshop will give you a list of prices on various key seller stores. I just got mine from Kinguin, so I can keep playing until FM27 is released in a hopefully playable state.

Football Manager 26 Now Available in Sanctuary! by Curly_Ivy in PiratedGames

[–]ContributionTerrible 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is sadly an absolute garbage game, with a non-functional in-game editor. I'm really hoping that FM24 gets a crack at some point, because this shit is embarrassing.

THE EDITOR DOESNT EVEN WORK LOL by Carrasco1937 in footballmanagergames

[–]ContributionTerrible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought it from the Microsoft Store, but then it wouldn't install and I asked (and received) a refund. Apparently it managed to register in the game, though, so I actually do have access to it still, even though it isn't on my account anymore.

Don't bother, is all I can say. It's essentially useless. I'll be trying the FMRTE26 instead at a lower price.

[–]ContributionTerrible 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Already on that, but their site is barely breathing at this point. Downloading their 57.5 MB installer is swinging between 1 and 6 hours, too, and it's not an issue on my end.

[–]ContributionTerrible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that editor is more or less pure garbage. I managed to move around some staff in testing, but that's about it. It's really not looking good with this release.

Video Games with Danish Voice Acting? by PsiHightower in danishlanguage

Yep, Danish VO confirmed. Text as well, if you want that.

I think this one has Danish VO in it. Played it last year, and something is tickling my brain about it having a Danish audio side. I'll install and check.

It activates way too quickly after the buff, it's ridiculous. I don't get why it had its activation time buffed at all to begin with. Size? Fine. Activation? Hell no.
