He's polling higher than that. Closer to like 5-6 percent in quite a few states. It's certainly enough to swing the election.

My partner and I just played through this together in co-op and had a great time. We thought it was a good game.

I read the whole discord drama stuff, and I'm more on Crema's side. I think they've made the mistake of trying to talk to a fanbase like they are just a group of reasonable people that will understand and empathize if you just lay out the facts. But they aren't. They're just going to pick apart anything you say and relentlessly shit on you because they are, collectively, not able to be reasoned with.

They released an MMO in its final state, minus some Kickstarter promised stuff, that they have said they will deliver. They tried to monetize the game how they felt was best, it didn't work out, so they've moved on and left a functioning, small-scope MMO. You can argue the quality of it or whether you agree with their decisions, but they made what they said they were going to make.

And they are still releasing small updates to a community that is, frankly, awful. The subreddit is just a hivemind of asshole armchair developers.

My husband is 30 and can't understand this. And not every pot is meant to be stored in one, large, precariously balanced stack. There's a whole cabinet there. You can spread them out...

You keep saying "it doesn't hurt anyone". But, I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out who this mod would help? Like, what kind of person is so put out by this that they would seek outside help to have it removed? It's very difficult to imagine a version of this that doesn't involve some pretty hurtful stuff.

Nexusmods is very clear that they will not platform mods that promote any sort of hatred. You may say this doesn't do that, but I think it's pretty clear that this would do nothing except foster hateful discussion. It's a harmless disclaimer that can already be disabled without a mod. The only reason to host a mod for this is to promote the idea that it's wrong and encourage the types of people that think that to do what they always do, be hateful. It's inevitable, and it breaks Nexusmods ToS pretty obviously.

On the topic of making them "look weak": I think it's very clear that if you're the type of person that wants this content, then they do not care about your opinion and do not want you to use their platform.

What's the monetization like on this? I knew this was one of Sony's GaaS. I think $50 is a good price, but what is the ongoing cost for content?

It's not competitive. It's cooperative. It doesn't even have a pvp mode.

And even if it had a pvp mode, 3 days isn't going to change anything long term. It's such a minor issue. It's just another thing for people to needlessly complain about.

They did, yes. Getting pretty common these days. Early Access with a preorder of a higher priced digital edition of a game. Seems relatively harmless to me. I would never pay for that, but I think if it means that much to you, it's not hurting anything.

I mean, who was searching for that before the game released? I imagine you'd see the same trend with basically every game immediately following release. Not to downplay the issues the game has having, but this is like a "duh" kind of thing.

On the flip side, I've never used the touchpads in a game outside of Aperture Desk Job.

Emudeck also installs EmulationStation. You can choose to access your games and not by integrating then into Steam. Just like Retrodeck.

They are shipping the orders from crowdfunding now. When that's done they'll ship orders from their website. So, I guess it's technically a preorder. But the devices are being shipped now, just in a specific order.

I've had mine for a couple weeks. It's killer. The SD8G2 is an absolute monster for emulation and gaming, especially with the active cooling.

Posted today and already out of date. At least on the top pick. The AYN Odin2 is out already, and it's a huge upgrade over the original in every way. The Odin Pro is still a good device, but the Odin2 is so so much better.
