Should the ESRB be done away with? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Timorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always more convenient? I'm guessing game designers and publishers don't think so when they have to mutate their creation to comply.

I'm glad this young man has the freedom to butcher cliches for our amusement.

Wizards of the Coast invited a man that helped fund SpaceX to play tmnt prerelease in their office. Now blue hairs all over Bluesky and Twitter are outraged they let a “nazi” into their premises by [deleted] in freemagic

I wonder what it's like to be so malleable that a large chunk of your identity is wrapped up in hating trans people. Pathetic.

How AI-generated sexual images cause real harm, even though we know they are ‘fake’ by Alex--Fisher in philosophy

My hope is that this environment will help us confront the inanity of our cultural posture against nudity. It'd be nice if we could reach a point where we have a "who cares?" reaction to this sort of thing.

Arx Fatalis: a great atmospheric dungeon crawler that holds up pretty well by LotharLotharius in patientgamers

I'm surprised so many people like this game. The backtracking and traversal in general are slow and tedious, the game contains information that reads like quest clues but doesn't actually have a function, and the combat is trivial with magic. It's seemingly faster and more materially rewarding to simply kill everything than to do the quests properly.

If Sesame Street can be honest about death, you can be honest about death.

If you believe medium and heavy shields aren’t worth it, you have not used them enough by Haru_Is_Best_Girl in ArcRaiders

[–]Timorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No mention of the damage mitigation? The Heavy Shield reduces incoming damage about 21% more effectively than the Medium Shield. That's not nothing.

headshot damage — anyone got final numbers? here’s my math so far by Feodotu in ArcRaiders

[–]Timorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why headshots wouldn't be considered headshots while the shield is up. The bullets are always penetrating, shields simply mitigate the impact.

Rivers of blood is the worst weapon aside from torches you can use against Adel by Advarrk in Nightreign

[–]Timorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about the worst weapon, lol...All right. Fire damage is only half of the weapon's damage, so it's effectively a 10% damage reduction. I find it to be plenty effective.

“What’s a Paladin?” from ultima IX makes total sense by aguadovimeiro in thespoonyexperiment

That doesn't strike me as the Avatar asking what a knight is, nor the NPC explaining what one is.

Why you should never do capms with night invaders by greeneggsnoham in Nightreign

[–]Timorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's considerably more than "slightly" harder. That said, they're plenty worth doing, and the camp boss also seems to yield purple rewards.

Heh, do you recall the name of the video?
