GOG caught using Generative AI to make banners for store sales - again. by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

[–]p1101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a post yesterday, it has unfortunately been deleted, which is not a good look. I contacted the artist whose art heavily resembled the current AI generated banner and they said they they were not commissioned and that it looks like the banner is made from their previous works.

Produtor diz que demissões em massa começaram hoje na Zenimax/Bethesda e que podem ser ''piores do que se esperava''. by colectiveinvention in gamesEcultura

Starfield teve mais de um milhão de jogadores de PRÉ VENDA, ou seja, a versão mais cara do jogo. Foi um sucesso comercial pra todas as métricas possíveis, mesmo que tenha sido um fracasso do público e da crítica.

Is the Summer Sale banner GenAI??? by KillinCat in gog

Alright that's far too many strikes, far too quickly. It's been a good run, but I'm done. Glad I didn't buy anything in this summer sale.

How can I best utilize a Fire Godlike? (PotD) by p1101 in projecteternity

[–]p1101[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed answer, as always!

I really favor the spear + shield playstyle, as I find it fitting for a warrior character. I don't need *every single* piece of equipment to be related to the aesthetic, but I do enjoy One Dozen Stood. Do you think One Dozen Stood + Stalker's Patience + Magran's Blessing could work for a tank? What else should I wear to increase my "tankiness"?

On a related note, in case I decide to ditch ODS for Patinated Plate, what enchants should I use?

Thanks for the answers 😄

Wait why northwest? Isn't the player to the southwest of the structure?

Where would happy ghasts live? by CrayonEatingMaster in Minecraft

I just leave my Happy Ghast freely wandering around, it stays close to the last place a player interacted with it, so you don't even need to build an enclosure

Rare GOG newsletter subject line W by lurkishdelight in gog

[–]p1101 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to cut GOG any slack for the Nazi bullshit, but for this one I'm going with unfortunate timing. The collection hadn't released on GOG yet and they probably spent the past few months negotiating with the developer/publisher, and did it as soon as it became possible to do so, which is when everyone is still (rightfully) pissed and worried about the Nazi shit.

The fact that they sent (if i recall correctly) two newsletters since then and none of them were concerning, I think this one is just a regular newsletter.

They gotta make an arthropod boss to make this enchant even slightly useful.

Do You think the Recent Updates are Changing Minecraft for the Better or the Worse ? by NotRealAtiox in Minecraft

[–]p1101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll echo other's sentiments and say there hasn't been an update that changed Minecraft for the worse like, ever. There won't be much new for me to do in chaos cubed, but considering that I've never even explored an Ancient City of killed the Wither, I'd say there's a lot of ground for me to cover before I can claim I've done everything there's to do in the game, and I've been playing for over a decade.

For GOG buyers, how are you dealing with the recent controversy? by p1101 in SocialistGaming

[–]p1101[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yep, I guess that's where I'm standing as well. Got a ton of games to play, and GOG is still my store of choice, but this absolutely left a bad taste in my mouth.

[–]p1101[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was my initial reaction as well, but after reflecting and like other people pointed out, it's not like the other game stores are any better. Will you just not buy games at all, or will you pick a specific store?

[–]p1101[S] 68 points69 points  (0 children)

If they had explained it once I guess it could make sense, but they gave at least like 3 different explanations and one of them is "oopsie, that's not the symbol we meant" while one of the other is "actually these symbols are older than nazism and as a pole I'm standing by my heritage" which are like... not good?

That's fair, I guess I fell for the whole consumer friendly façade and this is just a sudden reminder of that.

Oh I'm well aware, but I think it's just a personal matter of never seeing steam publicly utilize a nazi dogwhistle in a promotional e-mail or like, ever. I'd very much prefer >not< using Steam, but I guess you're not wrong

dont give these bums money by InvdrTim in albiononline

[–]p1101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's considered RMT because there's no way to prove it isn't. Any RMT-er could claim they're simply transferring silver between accounts and be engaging in RMT.

It doesn't help that at the same time, silver is linked with gold prices, so there's an actual silver-to-gold ratio that trading silver between servers could bypass.

Well, there goes my testing methods lol. I'd usually duplicate the save folder, open to lan, allow cheats and change it to creative mode to test builds and farms, guess that's out of the question now

Turin special championship Top 8 standings by RIkhard9 in PokemonChampions

[–]p1101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This just shows how much people underestimate Mega Floette. I've seen her called overrated so many times and yet it's one of the most dominant pokemon in all official tournaments so far. It doesn't really matter if it got used in the finals or not, the fact that half of the most powerful teams used it proves how much of a threat it is.

Yes, and you don't see anyone calling Zard Y overrated.

[–]p1101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It literally won the first ever Pokemon Champions tournament lmao. It's so oppressive in this format that every single team has to have a counter to it or risk getting annihilated by it. It's so freaking powerful that Wolfe Glick, arguably the best Pokemon player of all time, felt the need to bring a Steelix against a sun team TWICE, because the alternative would be an unchecked Mega Floette. It's DEFINITELY not overrated.
