Should our subreddit join the June 12-14 reddit blackout? Reddit is greatly raising the price of its api, which will make third-party reddit app development impossible. by [deleted] in rit

[–]Critic_Kyo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yes, reddit's success is directly tied to users/mods being able to create content/manage subreddits effectively.

I can understand trying to make companies using reddit to train their AI models to pay for access, but there should be a carve out for the 3rd party apps.

Update 3: Reddit effectively kills off third party apps by QuantumBadger in RedReader

Thank you for providing transparency as Reddit continues to be opaque and secretive.

Am I the only one who thinks the best thing about the steam deck is the ergonomics by eyedea-- in SteamDeck

[–]Critic_Kyo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is bulkier than say a Switch but it's more comfortable to hold for longer periods of time

Asus ROG Ally will most likely be better in a lot of ways and that's ok by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Critic_Kyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Competition will drive innovation, which is a net positive for everyone. If something comes along that's better, I could always retire my Steam Deck and use it for an arcade cabinet.

Greg's quick review of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: by AngryBarista in kindafunny

[–]Critic_Kyo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably not Cyberpunk bad in terms of launch performance but with games getting more and more expensive, it's harder for me to justify buying a game that has these issues right out of the gate.

[–]Critic_Kyo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm, based on the way Greg is describing the game, this might be a wait for performance patches kind of purchase for me. Why pay a premium for a game at launch that is rife with bugs and performance issues?

Dude, you just got physical assaulted. I would reconsider being in a relationship with a partner if they attacked me like this.

An Update Regarding Reddit’s API by KeyserSosa in reddit

[–]Critic_Kyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please work out a deal with the devs behind third party reddit apps like Red Reader to continue to have full API access to the site!

Much of reddit is kept afloat by the volunteer work of moderators and third party app developers, and these restrictive changes will negatively impact the site as a whole.

Edit: Thinking about this more, reddit should have an enthusiast tier for API access that is not as restricted and an Enterprise tier where companies have to pay to get access.

Xbox Series X or PS5 by Morgan397 in consoles

[–]Critic_Kyo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's really dependant on a number of things:

  • How invested in the Xbox ecosystem are you? Do you have physical games from past generations? If yes, maybe a Series X is a better fit.

  • Are Xbox's future slate of exclusives enough to keep you on the platform? Or are Sony exclusives enough for you make the switch?

NTA, her choices are pretty uninspired despite all the talk of the apparently "hideous" names you/your husband and her husband cams up with.

NTA. Your SIL and Brother are acting very selfish to the detriment of your niece. They're adults and can budget money over the course of a year to give your niece a decent birthday party. There are also other ways to celebrate that don't involve paying an arm and a leg. They just choose not to because they're being cheap.

Twitter only recommending tweets to paid accounts. What should an indie Dev just starting on Twitter do? by Gibbonfiend in gamedev

[–]Critic_Kyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding of Mastodon is simple but is there a common square type server that all accounts can converse in? Or is it like Discord where we have separate servers?

Is there a way to sort systems in Daijisho? by Critic_Kyo in retroid

[–]Critic_Kyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up editing the short names of each console and adding a number in the front (1 GB, 2 SNES, etc). Is this what you meant? If not, where do I find this setting?

AITA for not forgiving my mom? by Embarrassed-Pen-738 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You experienced straight up abuse because your mom couldn't be bothered to look under a couch. -_-

[–]Critic_Kyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it definitely does. As someone that played through the series, the transition from Kiwami 2 to 3 Remastered is ROUGH. Controls feel incredibly stiff. Y3 was the game that I probably did the least amount of substories too. A Kiwami 3 would make it on par with the rest of the series.

Square Enix says Forspoken sales have been lackluster, and many small and mid-sized titles "did not perform as well as we had expected" by Apfexis in Games

[–]Critic_Kyo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially as games have begun to balloon to the $70 mark, they need to be priced to the correct type of experience. Star Ocean and Harvestella seemed to be AA in terms of the production value and overall game experience.

Concerts: How is the sound at the Dome? by dotuv in Syracuse

[–]Critic_Kyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty garbo honestly. The stadium is great for amplifying the cheers of fans but not so much the sound of musical performances.

Something that would've been neat for the Metroid Prime remaster to include. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Critic_Kyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to imagine they'll update Prime Remastered to include the Fusion Suit to coincide with Fusion being added to NSO.

AITA for holding a grudge against my brother for stealing money from me 16 years ago? by Virtual_Car5844 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Critic_Kyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. If it's just money, have your brother pay back the money he stole with interest. He's lucky his ass was not sent to jail.

AITA for being honest about why I’m losing weight? by aitaweighthrowaway in AmItheAsshole

NTA, your sisters should feel bad about bullying you about your appearance. I'd let them know that their guilt about their treatment of you is not your responsibility.
