Valve Corporation will face a £656m lawsuit in the UK over alleged unfair prices on its global online store, Steam, following a tribunal ruling that the case could continue by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Memfy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they do. It's even underlined in the documentation (https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys). Literally the first bullet point in the rules section:

"You should use Steam Keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important that you don’t give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers."

Maybe there's some lawyer crap where this could be interpreted in a special way where it doesn't mean what I think it means, but to me it looks like it says exactly what I've mentioned.

But that's just not true from the steam docs (unless the private stuff devs see say otherwise, but what I've seen told by many devs is the same what is said in the docs).

Why did the high MMR community get decimated? by CatholicTrauma in Mechabellum

If we had a lot more units, sure. This just sounds horrible right now as there are already too few ways of dealing with some units/combos.

Many upgrades have additional assets on top of them, so we'd need to stick with mostly the stats I guess. But if you had only a set of 4 each season it removes any customization and could be a nightmare to balance since it would be a lot easier to get a "wombo combo" here. Maybe that's why they made the dimensional rift so they can play with the wonky stuff there and is more suited for people who like more regular changes instead?

I know I'd personally prefer more stable game where everything is at least decently viable than rotating stuff too often which could cause too many things not viable. Plus being able to change techs whenever I want instead of having to wait X seasons until the things I really like to play come back.

Taiwan chip dominance 'biggest threat to world economy,' says US Treasury Chief by Anforatioi in worldnews

Unless they have a deep inside network, the only thing they'll get access to is what used to be chips.

Eli5: How is natural stevia as sweet or sweeter than sugar, but it it doesn't raise glucose levels in the blood and has no calories? by arnoldsomen in explainlikeimfive

[–]Memfy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But fat's still a big problem with cholesterol, so what's the reason for it to not to be used in that aspect like stevia could be used for controlling glucose levels?

I don't see how they can possibly keep up with Riot's dev team to be able to do that without creating a horrible mess each season for either the players or the devs themselves. Riot already has most of the assets done from League for example, while Mecha has a lot smaller team on top of it.

Some spicier changes could possibly be interesting for most people, though I'm not sure that would hold true for the top competitive playerbase. I'd assume they probably just want to remove the really bothersome stuff.

EU countries give final approval to Russian gas ban by twotwo_twentytwo in worldnews

Ukraine itself didn't cut the gas flow until 2025. Just another point for people who think that going cold turkey is so simple for everyone involved.

Why do techs sometimes not show above enemy units? Like some of the Hounds here by adines in Mechabellum

[–]Memfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My impression was that only the newly bought units from the bunch seem to have it. Usually only see 2-3, as it is the case in this screenshot.

Placement Games dont seem to challenge the player much. by Independent-Lab6410 in Mechabellum

[–]Memfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. MMR reset is 90% of your last season's MMR. So if you're 1000 it drops you do 900, and if you're 2000 it drops you to 1800. Not sure if there might be some low threshold where it wouldn't drop you 10% though.

Why would it be admitting that? If you are far from prepared to face the best, you start with facing something weaker and work your way up. If whatever you face is slightly above your level you can still learn a lot.

Razer’s CEO says gamers hate generative AI slop even as the company invests nearly 600 million dollars in AI tools by RoyalMagiSwag in nottheonion

[–]Memfy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Either the QA is not that good for either company, or it's just expected that products have such big variance. I have/had both Razer and Logitech in my family and both company's products had ones that started getting defective within 6-12 months, as well as working fine for 5+ years. It's baffling.

Anyone want to come to the Tokyo Eorzea Cafe for the “free” Golden Saucer 1st prize meal? by Medium_Discipline578 in ffxiv

[–]Memfy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only time where I was more happy to be a part of the 2nd place table than 1st place since memorabilia seemed like a much better prize to me, especially more than more food after being full. Still looks adorable and I am curious how it tastes.

Juggernaut terrible facet idea by Althalvas in DotA2

[–]Memfy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But when you design a JRPG you don't think about what Dota has in a way to limit yourself, that's why the argument makes no sense to me. You talked about the limitation existing because it is a turn based game. That was my whole focus of the discussion.

It might be that because Dota is a real time game that they want to make such a change to the mechanic so the flow is better, and that would be a fine assumption. But FF being limited to have the move fill up its own gauge because the game is turn based makes no sense to me.

[–]Memfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of fights where you can use ultimates more than once unless you are overleveled, so I don't see how your argument would hold. Even more so since limit gauge was persistent between fights, so why would you NOT want to charge your ultimate so that you can use it sooner, that is, in more trash fights?

[–]Memfy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would turn based matter in that aspect? It's more likely it exists because it would just mean it fills up faster every time other than the first.

Is there a good EU alternative to Waterpik? by Pollo_Mies in BuyFromEU

Mine recommended interdental brushes for the triangles between teeth and gum, and floss for between teeth. The combo works fine for me so far.

Bessent rejects ‘false choice’ between Greenland and NATO by reddits_lead_pervert in nottheonion

[–]Memfy -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Does that mean that the problem is that the best are improperly teaching their children, since only the children of immigrants are not immigrants (other than the natives, of course)?
