19 laps in the sprint! Can’t wait.

It’s funny how Dutch doesn’t shy away from loaning French words, despite the difference. Examples are chauffeur, etalage, cadeau, auto and medaille.

I don’t agree that aardappel is hard to pronounce in general if you’re an English speaker though. Check it out: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/aardappel

I’m enjoying NecroMerger. It has optional ads (no forced short ads either) and the micro transactions are either some general buffs, ad-free version or gems. The gems are dished out royally imo, where I’ve purchased most of the premium currency content by just playing.

Something you can’t play right now but can sign up to play for later: WalkScape. It’s an RPG game in a similar style to RuneScape, but you actually have to walk to craft, skill and walk around the map.

The team has often said that they are against microtransactions and other monetization schemes that currently plague the industry, so they have plans to release a freemium version and a paid version.

You got a top of the line machine coming out and it still uses dynamic resolution for a 2021 game? How much of a scam is this device, lol.

I ain’t shitting on PSSR though, I think that’s neat.

Yup, pommes de terre. In Dutch is “aardappel”, which is more literally earthapple. But I will add, the apple part isn’t referring to the fruit, but means more like “a spherical object”.

Also the French used aardappel to create the word pomme de terre for it in 1716, as they couldn’t pronounce the Dutch word.

You shouldn’t have to work for a roof over your head and mental health support.

Now this is the niche content that makes Lemmy great. I’ve never really dabbled in multiplayer a lot as even though I have hundreds of hours, I never actually finished the whole thing, opting to start over every time I picked it back up.

Just wanted to thank you for your post, it was fun to read

They have to use this language to stay out of legal trouble. Saying things you know aren’t true is indeed lying, but you have to prove that they know it’s a lie.

Intention to deceive is the key part, and hard to prove. So journalists play it on the safe side and just keep to the facts: they repeated false claims / statements.

No, it’s not real. The original source is a satirical news site. Sorry friends.

I’m not disagreeing with you

I generally enjoy a Mario Party game but I barely touched the last one. This seems promising though

Judging where they are and how they present themselves, it looks like they are just trying to be a troll

I guess I should have been more specific, I apologize. What is the relation to the word “mander” and the topic of the instance?

Maybe not the perfect place to ask, but under topic specific instances, mander is highlighted. What topic is this?

And that’s how they get clicks. And now you’re talking about it. And me. So it’s working

I’d say this is mostly due to budget constraints. Voice acting, music scores, high fidelity art, models, animations etc cost a ton of money. Making random generated boards / levels / dungeons with simple art and scalable gameplay is simply just more feasible.

Another aspect is the popularity of the game. We’ve seen a lot of saturation in genres over the years. A the peak of PUBG and Fortnite popularity, there were so many battle royale games coming out. Then we got extraction shooters, and so on.

Personally, I love roguelikes and how we got to the point of mixing it with other genres (Balatro, Dungeon Clawler), but I can see your point. I feel the same about 2D (pixel art) platformers: I feel like I’ve seen it all already and nothing can excite me anymore.

Really cool read, thanks for sharing.

Dangerous driving, repeated DUIs, ecological damage by corporations, stuff like that

Of course I’m being subjective and anecdotal here, but there could be a lot more in prison if they wanted to do their actual job.
