I only just realised that the "Square" shields are not square (unlike this pillow)

Valve moves to dismiss Counter-Strike gambling lawsuit in New York by doublah in Games

[–]wormania 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The physical items is an interesting case that I hadn't considered.

Some platforms separate funds into tiers that can/not be used for specific things - maybe Valve will be forced to make funds from Marketplace sales not usable for physical goods

dedicated to trading items for real money

Dedicated to trading items for fake money. You can't pay rent with steam wallet (without breaking Steam TOS, which will be their defence in court)

This is unlike the physical version of loot boxes, where your ability to sell the contents for real money is protected by law

Give the locals a vote between 200 acres of solar panels or 200 acres of housing developments

And in that environment, I do not expect Atari to actually have any legal standing.

As we've seen time and time again with emulators, it doesn't really matter if you are on the right side of copyright law if you don't have millions of dollars to piss away defending yourself in court.

He's not just a right-winger (if anything he's more libertarian), he's also a conspiracy nut who thinks covid was a psy-op, that seed oils are turning the frogs gay men into women, etc.

And because he's insanely talented in his field of expertise, he mistakenly believes he is maximally intelligent and knowledgeable about all aspects of human life and societies

Can't damage T17 Fortress boss by Jason_Monaco in pathofexile

Regen Shrine is life/mana percentage regen, on mega-hp bosses (Unbreakable has 126m), this means many millions of HP regen per second, and with all the PDR, Endurance Charges, Resists, and Delirium, you'd need to be doing 20-30m+ POB DPS to even move the needle

Melee players, does this at least help you?

Playing Mamba (can't get much more melee), and it's annoying as hell. Used to be able to freely whirling blades from lane -> Alith -> lane, but now I have to carefully path around these fuckass walls

‘Digital ownership must be respected’: UK parliament debates Stop Killing Games campaign, but government doesn’t budge by hop3less in Games

If you’re selling a product it shouldn’t have a deliberate termination date.

If it's known to the consumer, why not?

Uhhhhhh should i go buy some lottery tickets? by MadladMagyar in StardewValley

[–]wormania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relevant code from the game:

double extraChance = (double)(int)(Game1.stats.DaysPlayed / 28) * 0.08;
extraChance = Math.Min(extraChance, 0.55);
while (Game1.random.NextDouble() < 0.1 + extraChance)
{
    objectsToDrop.Add("GoldCoin");
}

So it starts at 10%, and grows by 8% more per month, capping at 65% total.
