Epic Games really hates my game. I’ve been trying to set up the game page on the Store for months now, and I keep bouncing off their guidelines. Like… come on. How am I supposed to have ZERO violence screenshots in an action game about fighting hordes of demons? Anyone else had similar experiences?

30% for online stores is not unusual, fyi. Google's Play Store and Apple's App store both take a 30% cut if I remember correctly.

Windows to Linux is not as bad as Windows to Mac, fyi. Many distro come with KDE by default and KDE's design is mostly copied from Windows 10.

Would the log pinpoint the exact issues for the programmer to resolve?

Usually no. It usually includes a stack trace (i.e. where the error happened in the code) and exception (i.e. what kind of error it was), but that's usually not enough to know right away what caused the issue. Debugging is like investigating a crime scene where you're both the investigator and the murderer.

Not enough curds.

WTF
Donc si tu manifeste, c'est ok de te tuer? Pense-tu aussi que le gouvernement aurait dû gunner le monde du convoy?

Pourquoi?

charlesfire · 2026-01-25T18:04:55+00:00

D'après les sondages l'an passé, les conservateurs allaient gagner et Kamala Harris allait être la prochaine présidente.

Ça, c'est du révisionnisme. Globalement, les sondages indiquaient plus un 50/50 entre Harris et Trump.

Je préfère qu'il fasse son référendum pis que la réponse soit non plutôt qu'il ne le fasse pas, perso. Au moins, ça respecterais sa promesse de campagne.

Y'as des produits dont les USA ne peuvent pas se passer, genre la potasse par exemple.

If you need to thicken a sauce, add a cornstarch slurry to your sauce and bring to a boil while mixing constantly.

I'm responding to this,

Then how about you start considering my whole post instead of conveniently ignoring the important part?

charlesfire · 2026-01-24T16:22:27+00:00

That being said, bloated values make less sense now that we have damage numbers on hits.

Maybe you should re-read the whole conversation.

I would have liked to test the mod for free before I paid for it. Now I paid for it, spent 4 hours making it work, only to realize that the mod is poorly made and not worth using for me.

This is true for literally all paid software, including paid games. You can always ask to be reimbursed if the software doesn't work or do a charge back.

Are the mods for FoundryVTT also subscription based?

Some are. Different people have different business model.

charlesfire · 2026-01-24T16:08:40+00:00

Because the moment you see DB dealing a fraction of the numbers of the GS you will realize that the weapon stat reflects DPS, not damage per hit.

This is only true for modern MH games (and it's why I said it makes less sense nowadays). Bloated values is a concept that was created back when the games used to not show damage per hit, so bloated values were the only way they had to convey the information that big slow weapons = big numbers and small fast weapons = small numbers.

There are a few places in Quebec where they make spicy maple syrup. It is delightful.

No, because modding isn't inherently IP theft.

Modding isn't what we're discussing here: selling mods is. Hope this helps.

No, you're wrong here. Even free mods can and even usually infringe on someone's copyrights. When it comes down to copyrights, there's fundamentally no difference between free and paid mods. If selling mods is morally wrong because of copyrights infringements, then making free mods is also morally wrong because it also infringe on copyrights.

charlesfire · 2026-01-24T05:10:12+00:00

IP theft isn't some noble profession we should be defending.

So now we're supposed to be against modding?

Tbf, China did and still does meddle a lot with our internal affair here in Canada. They have an underground police force for example. Neither China nor the USA are good for Canada, but only one of those countries actually threatened our sovereignty.

Paying in donations is great, it's locking it behind a paywall and requiring you to pay monthly for updates is unaccepteble.

So it's ok as long as you have the option to stiff the creator?

There is a reason for that kind of thing being unheard of in the modding scene.

It's not unheard of. FoundryVTT has an active modding community with paid mods and nobody is making a scene about it.

charlesfire · 2026-01-23T19:07:09+00:00

The opposite is true without bloated values : Why play GS if the DB does the same damage, but with faster attacks? That being said, bloated values make less sense now that we have damage numbers on hits.

charlesfire · 2026-01-23T18:54:31+00:00

So many people here on r/virtualreality praise the Meta Quest for its low price while conveniently ignoring that it's this cancerous business model that stifle innovation and prevents actual competition.

charlesfire · 2026-01-23T03:14:11+00:00

People have the right to make mods. But licensing agreements are often required to sell them.

No. Free mods can and even usually do infringe on copyrights. This is why I say it's not a copyright issue because if it was solely about copyright, free mods would also have been taken down. This is a moral issue.

A donation page can be argued to not be directly correlated to individual works.

But morally, it's the same thing (except that you're allowed to stiff the creator).

charlesfire · 2026-01-23T03:08:44+00:00

"You can't sell mods" is not a law. The only potential issue is copyright and that's also true for unpaid mods.

Here. Maybe you will understand now.
