I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

Sounds like people with voting. They love to tell you how it doesn't matter, and yet republicans put tons of effort into making it more difficult.

Pixar made finding nemo, not disney. It was released years before the acquisition.

Edit: I'm mostly wrong. Pixar was collaborating with Disney at the time.

I think the the main reason is that they're private with no intention to go public. They're not beholden to random shareholders who know nothing about games and just want infinite growth, their decisions are actually made by people inside the company.

YouTube isn't gonna give you brownie points for shilling for them

I'm thinking this too... like what's even the point of using denuvo if it's not applied day one? The whole point is to delay piracy so they sell more copies during launch week (in theory), so waiting until after day one completely ruins that since you can just pirate the easily cracked launch version.

I've been working on this game for about 2 years, and finally created a proper trailer for it!

Feel free to ask questions and/or tell me what you think. If you're interested, I also have a steam page up: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2565520/Year_Unknown/

(Please let me know if this counts as advertising and I'll remove it)

I'm a huge fan of weird "walking sim" type games - stuff like Naissancee, The Beginner's Guide, Inside, etc.. So now I'm finally making my own, with some more focus on story.

I've been working on Year Unknown for a few years now, and I've already made a couple devlogs if you want to learn more about the game. But now I've finally published a steam page!

I'm also kinda proud to have almost entirely used free, open source software to create it - Godot, Blender, GIMP, and Audacity.

Let me know what you think!

I generally agree. I thought hexbear was fine until I saw some of the spam/trolling you mentioned, and then the genocide denial... That got me to start blocking communities there.

With that said I think exploding heads is probably just as bad, if not worse since the mods aren't against the content posted there. I know you said you didn't want to defederate and I kind of understand why, but at least keeping a close eye on the users there would be appreciated.

(edit: vague spoilers for outer wilds + dlc!)

If I had a nickle for every time an exploration-based game partially inspired by the failure of skyward sword involved uncovering the ruins of an ancient civilization of goat-like creatures with three eyes, included time travel as both a major story and gameplay element, had a blue aesthetic for an advanced ancient civilization, and then had a follow-up with a new, previously unknown ancient civilization that has a green aesthetic, I'd have two nickles.

Ah yes, I remember the civil rights movement where black Americans just politely asked politicians to please give them rights. And the gay rights movement where nobody was arrested. And the protests in Hong Kong which were very peaceful. And the non-provocative Tiennaman Square protest. And the protests for women's rights against the Taliban where no laws are being broken

You can't run vlc? What kind of devices do you have?

I've been watching through ds9 for the first time and the show has always been good, even the first season I thought started fairly strong. And season 6 (as I've said in another post) has started really strong, with an actual deviation from the show's status quo that lasts longer than one episode.

But holy shit, this might be one of my favorite episodes. Not just of ds9, or star trek in general, but maybe of any show I've seen. And as far as I'm aware people barely talk about it.

The whole episode is essentially Dukat's facade of composure slowly breaking down. He's always been an interesting villain, and at times his insistence that he's doing his best can almost convince you that he might not entirely be the bad guy; that maybe he is, in some way, trying to do good.

And a lesser show might try to redeem him. But not ds9. Millions died under his command, people were sent to the deaths, and as long as he tries defend his actions in any way there's no room for redemption.

This episode finally breaks down all of his fake pretenses of helping Bajor, or trying his best to "rule with a softer hand." Finally his deception is broken down and reveals what he has always been. And it's done in the best way possible.

The scene where he finally breaks down is fantastic. No music, just Marc Alaimo acting his ass off. The panning back and forth between him talking to sisko and talking to the various voices in his head...

"And that is why you're not an evil man?"

The first 60th anniversary special was airing. It didn't answer (or even bring up) why the doctor was Tennant again. Instead, it entirely took place in a room on some spaceship, and was an argument between the doctor and some random guy. That was the entire 40 minute episode.

It was the best episode of television I had ever watched. I went to people I knew and begged them to watch the new doctor who episode.

Hopefully this is prophetic and this is exactly what the 60th anniversary special ends up being.
