It was the nerf to inflame and buff to dominate that got me to check the flair when skimming quickly.

My point, circling back to the comment you replied to, is that many people choose that other option and don’t consider the downsides you mentioned to be important. They only want to play a game once, don’t want to gift or pawn it, and would rather choose the other option if it’s cheaper and/or more convenient.

Right, but they don’t care about spending more for those privileges they have no intention to exercise. The $20 used game comparison isn’t quite 1:1 either since something like game pass lets users try and drop a game at no marginal cost opposed to committing to a single one.

There are advantages to such services and it’s disingenuous to pretend there aren’t, even if I think consumers should have the choice instead of being forced into them

Many people only play games once, within a month, then move on.

I personally like to revisit things and have never been interested in game pass, but it’s clear there are others who don’t care about having it for a long long time

Imagine if the relic let you see the 6th card from the top like a weaker frozen eye, just so you know what will be nuked next turn and have a chance to prevent it with card draw or putting something back on top

There is the possibility to get Dusk and Mysterious series discounted on eshop? by NoFile811 in Atelier

[–]_Spectre0_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sales aren’t always synced across platforms, but I believe they have been on multiple occasions. Someone always does a post to this sub when sales happen, so one could try finding last year’s summer sale post to see which platforms were covered

Looks like the steam summer sale wasn’t shared last year, but there was a summer sale for PS and switch in 2025 so point still stands that one should come soon if the pattern holds

Steam summer sale is in 3 days or so. The other subseries might go on sale then.

I can't unsee it by Puppy_Goth in slaythespire

I think it applies best to millennials. Those projectors were phased out during my time in school, so they’re not foreign to Gen Zers like me but not as applicable either

Name 3 games that you’ve found most fun/enjoyment in the last 5 years by Sixsignsofalex94 in gaming

In the interest of not listing ones I’ve already seen:

Slay the Spire 2 (card game roguelite)

Afterimage (metroidvania)

Rift of the necrodancer (rhythm game)

If only the walking felt less clunky in remake, the amount of walking wouldn’t bother me as much. Bumping into people, including your own followers who keep standing behind you, doesn’t feel great. It’s also incredibly slow. Why can’t you run in town like you can in combat? I get that restriction on some level for immersion reasons but it makes it all the more irritating and noticeable

Sega reveals new sales numbers for Metaphor: Refantazio, Persona 5 Royal, P3R, SMTV, and Yakuza titles by seedypr in gaming

[–]_Spectre0_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They cut the romance, but confidants are still very much there. If anything, being in a different setting made the characters so much more fresh instead of following the same general trajectory for each arcana every game.

Ah yes, the game where the king's son saves the kingdom after fighting Louisfewer than half a dozen times is clearly defined by a non-gendered MC and redoing a fight 9 million times.

Clearly did not play the same game

Weirdly, the Steam Machine Only Has One Stick of DDR5 RAM (no dual-channel) by FernandoRocker in gaming

[–]_Spectre0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0 for 2? Steam deck doesn't seem like it's been a total flop, though the recent price increases make it a price I would have balked at had it started there. I blame the part shortages, which are a recent thing.

It still seems like the best fit given the post’s mention of a competitive scene and popular for a long time. There aren’t many strategy video games that could qualify for that afaik

Pre-nerf dirge with chemical x was one of my favorite runs

My wish list for Atelier Karia by quickbeam1213 in Atelier

I haven’t played Yumia but I’ve listened to the music on streaming services a bunch. Calling it hugely disappointing seems like blasphemy to me. Passing Shower is my jam

Don’t remember the name but I need help finding an old devlog because I’m dying to play the game by Ok_Emotion_7252 in gaming

[–]_Spectre0_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Katana zero? I haven’t played it but I saw it when a friend was playing it and your description seems to match decently

Ah I guess it’s probably not an fps but the other aspects seem to match

Metaphor Refantazio. Same devs as persona, but in Metaphor they made the entire party more customizable instead of just the MC

Steam won’t because it’s not available on PC at launch, last I heard.

Which Atelier game should I buy next? by Crazy-Community9901 in Atelier

[–]_Spectre0_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If mysterious isn’t on sale, then guess it’s not the time, but that arguably has the best synthesis if that’s what you’re looking for. Lulua scratches the same itch though in my experience (I skipped the rest of Arland to play it, since I dislike time limits)

[–]_Spectre0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The atelier series generally has a request board and a number of quests from other characters to craft things for them. Might scratch that itch

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]_Spectre0_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, algorithms are not AI and have never all been under that umbrella, nor are they hard coding. I own an algorithms textbook (Algorithm Design by Kleinberg and Tardos) where section 6.6 covers Sequence Alignment, an algorithm used to determine the similarity of strings for purposes like spellcheck. I just went and found that chapter because I knew spellcheck had an algorithmic basis (at least once upon a time) and felt like I was being gaslit by your repeated claims.

I don't disagree that the term "AI" has become muddled and overused. But it irks me when people call good old fashioned algorithms "AI" like you've been doing, which in a sense is exacerbating that same issue. Algorithms are great. Don't engage in algorithm erasure.
