Helldivers 2 has rounds between 12-40 minutes, the longer rounds are often doable faster than 40 mins though. It's pretty easy to join a game already running. You can set the difficulty to adjust what you consider fun. I like playing on 4/10 because I find it laid back. It's PvE with squads of up to 4.

@datarama @medley56 @skynebula It's wholesome really in comparison.

They didn't fire the whole team, just the six people (from what I can find,) that worked in the US. Some suspect NetEase's move was to consolidating their workers in China. The six who were fired did, to some extent, level design and game design. I'm not sure anyone has a good answer on how much of each. And the creative lead and lead producer are still on the team, in China. That's not to suggest how you should feel about the developer who fired people after a massive success, regardless of how many they fired. Just saying "the whole dev team" is a vast overstatement, considering how many people worked on the game. We can be pissed at people and be accurate. That's all.

@kludgekml @Snowshadow @chartier @mcc I assumed that was by design. It's food you eat because one must eat to live. There is no joy in the protein bar.

Same, even though I still use a lot of splat books from 2020 and just imagine how things would be similar/different in 2045.

It wasn't a serious suggestion

Rematch Tuesday might be interesting

The most charitable answer is sad: that he sees himself as one of them. It's entirely possible that he thinks of himself as essentially a 20 year old who loves video games, drugs, and trolling.

So misogynistic cant have daughters. I wouldn't be surprised is he doesnt touch women cause it gives him hives.

That's not true at all. They've always been building them in parallel. Did they shift some of the devs to get the final push to finish SQ42? Recently? Yes. Was it the majority of the devs working on SC? No.

And every bad one. None of which I would call games.

Awesome. Thanks to everyone for answering. I haven't actually started it, but have wanted to for the last few weeks (I got it from steam a while ago on a sale).

I watched this from the UK. Midnight start, figured I'd at least watch the first period and see how it goes. All ready to pack it in with 5 mins left in the third but figured I'd stuck it out this long so I may as well see it to the end. Absolutely insane when they tied it, and then of course I was up until after 4am and got to bed just in time for the birds to start chirping outside. I'm paying the price now but it was so worth it.

[@jsonculverhouse@flipboard.social](https://community.nodebb.org/user/jsonculverhouse%40flipboard.social) yes, that's right. If a Flipboard post is organized within magazines, then including the magazine in the cc will allow recipient software to correctly slot the post with the magazine. So not only would it fix the issue for NodeBB, it'd also fix it for Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, etc.

This happened last game sesh! I was ready for them to be confronted by my badass NPC only to be reminded they had already befriended him several months ago.

Physical games aren't the whole game, is the main thesis. A DRM-locked physical copy that needs DRM-locked downloads to be complete is equal in preservation weight to a DRM-locked fully digital game. Once both releases are DRM-locked and download-reliant, I do consider the DRM-locked download that's still acquirable 10 years later to be better than the one that isn't. Meanwhile outside of console land, DRM-*free* digital exists. That's the holy grail gold standard, not 60% of pokemon sword on a flash drive. DRM-free digital survives the CDN end-of-lifing. It survives my PC exploding, because unlike even *complete* physical games like a SNES cart, I can copy my DRM-free digital installer to as many devices as I want. DRM-free digital installs the version of the game I downloaded, without any connection to the internet. DRM-free digital survives the music license for a David Bowie track expiring. Consoles will never give us DRM-free digital, because the only reason consoles exist now is to be DRM. So the only relevant preservation of console games is dumping and cracking and emulating, because that *makes* them DRM-free digital, even though they're not legally such.

Adding the link to the website might be a non issue. Getting people to join a fediverse thing might be even harder than getting them to sign.

@futurebird @cammerman Funnily enough, I was just typing up notes on why governments should not be run like households. The different relationship to money has much to do with it: "[G]overnments are not like households, and there are a number of reasons why. The first and most obvious one is that the government owns its own bank. Not only does it own its own bank, that bank is actually the creator of all the money in the economy." – Richard Murphy (https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01/23/the-curse-of-the-household-analogy/)

Happy for you bro
