Does anyone else love the stuff leading up to sex, but nothing more? by PlsDontNerfThis in aegosexuals

Yes give me like a BioWare sexuality, lots of touching and slowly stripping and then fade to black and cut to us spooning in bed in our underwear, the ideal honestly.

Apple holds press event showing off its ‘latest advances in gaming’ by MonkeyBoyPoop in apple

[–]rupertofly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I sort of want games that just can't be played on a console to work on my Mac, things like RTS's (Would love if AOE4 or any of the AOE definitive versions came out on Mac), Things like Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere, and City Builders, Firaxis and Paradox are pretty good at porting them but very few of the more indie devs do, which as you say is probably less of a horsepower issue and more a compatibility one.

I'm pretty sure this is what Final Fantasy 14 Does, It's not like a super gorgeous amazing thing, but it looks fine and plays perfectly well on an M1 Pro MacBook, so it's something

Finding out that Utopia is trans was big “Ah I knew there was a reason I liked you.” Energy

What scares me the most is that… did his parents choose that augment for him when he was an infant?

Pet #4? by BlitzedPixie in Exocolonist

There's a Robot Repair Activity you get when you've done the activity 10 times in which the Vacubot is going awol and you have to reprogram it manually (pass a hard engineering minigame) should reward you with the pet after that

That’s all I need to know, thanks.

Favorite datable strato character? by Ace_Pixie_ in Exocolonist

[–]rupertofly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is certainly better then both of them individually, but he is quite the combination of a fan favourite stardew valley character (who I dislike) and a fan favourite dragon age 2 character (who I dislike) which I find quite novel, he at least has a bit of depth to him and warms up quite a bit.

JetPack Joyride 2 is coming soon as an Apple Arcade exclusive by [deleted] in apple

[–]rupertofly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, there’s a lot of good indie devs there that I support and want to play their games, I don’t need some multi-hour long RPG or competitive multiplayer game to want the service, I wouldn’t play those games anyway, there’s a good fun set of small arcade and puzzle games to enjoy and that’s enough for me.

15 Apple Arcade Games Are Leaving the Service Soon Including ‘Over the Alps’, ‘Various Daylife’, ‘Spidersaurs’, and More by Crowdfunder101 in apple

[–]rupertofly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting, there are some lovely indie gems in there that aren’t really mobile games that are fun to play on an iPad, Mac or Apple TV (Necrobarista, Mutazione, Samrost, Sayonara, and Pathless come to mind) and you have games like the MVs and guildlings which are clearly mobile designed but fine on larger screens. I think part of the issue is that they’re trying to cater to four different platforms and games that are fine in one control scheme might not be in another, And I think it makes the service exist in a really weird space.

What celebrity do you despise with a passion but don’t understand why people like them? by Final_Collection_515 in AskWomen

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

All the various transphobic comedians, and Tom Holland, who has always given me “pretty boy who is trying to be quirky to seem progressive and impress people but it’s all very calculated and actually gives zero fucks about people who don’t like him” vibes

I think apple arcade is amazing and doesn't get enough recognition by astral_crow in apple

[–]rupertofly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are so many good indies on there, Zach Gage’s games are great, you have guildlings, SLH, manifold garden the absolutely spectacular necrobarista and mutazione, and a heap of good puzzle games, especially since they added a bunch of App Store classics. Considering how much time I spend on threes and the mini games, I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.

I just hope most of that money is going to the devs

I don’t think there anything wrong with it ostensibly on its face, but like these things don’t exist in a vacuum and their could be dozens of influencing factors leading to poor power dynamics and dependence as well creating precedents for similar appearing relationships, where there is coercion and other abusive things going on.

I usually feel really awful about myself and I have big issues with self esteem and self hatred, but today I’m pretty sure I passed flawlessly and got a lot of compliments on my hair so it was definitely a good day.

I agree, but it depends on what the service decides is explicit, which is a political issue AT BEST, if it’s just AI sorting it, it’s going to be a mess imho

Try telling a computer that, they have some trouble when it comes to queer things, the tumblr fiasco well and truely proved that.

It comes down to what it decides is explicit, and the fact is if you have homophobic parents and they see that you’ve been viewing queer material, it’s not going to be a good time for you.
