Maalus@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•BioShock creator says "audiences reward" single-player games that don't have "other methods of monetization," like Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33English3·3 months agoSealing / unsealing is 100% FOMO and I have seen people go “Ivara Prime is out now I need to play Warframe”. You can easily setup a system where you choose a rotation to go for when choosing a mission. It wouldn’t even split the playerbase since it only affects the rewards at the end. But they don’t, they do this song and dance about removing and bringing back specific weapons and warframes.

You can sell your time to people who paid actual money, and then buy things you want for that money. The only issue with Warframe is the fomo - them locking warframes behind relics that are “deprecated”. Sometimes they unearth them again, but it’s an artificial attempt at “I need to buy this or it is gone”.
Also the process of getting parts is 100% gambling on low odds. You can get lucky immediately or have to “reroll” by running the same relic over and over and over again. It sucks if you want a very specific thing and often leads to people just buying it outright.

The thing that “internet people” don’t get is that not everyone sits on a computer every day. There are millions of people who don’t. You don’t win elections by being popular on twitter.
Maalus@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.3·3 months agoThey’re getting downvotes for “not like it matters”. Every little bit matters and “limit eating red meat” helps too. You don’t need to completely stop.
Also the claim sounds weird to people who don’t know facts about shipping and how horrific it is for the environment. Most people think “plane bad” not “ship bad”.
Maalus@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.1·3 months agoNot really, check out their claim on google. Ships are polluting a shitton. They have huge engines that run on the crappiest fuel known to man. It’s so bad, that they have to switch to diesel by law when comming close to the shore / port so as to meet any semblence of environmental law. Something like the top 10 ships pollute more than all cars on Earth combined (exhaust gasses, not tire wear / brake dust).
That tone is universal for a self righteous ahole to be fair

Maalus@lemmy.worldto [Dormant] moved to [email protected]@lemmy.world•And plenty of useful idiots say the same thing about Russia's invasion and genocide of Poland in tandem with the NazisEnglish12·3 months agoAnd then they rounded up officers, teachers, politicians and killed them.
You also gotta love the disonance between the Warsaw uprising - where Russians stopped on the eastern bank of thr Vistula river to wait for the Polish uprising that was launched to “welcome them to a Polish city, not a nazi one” to die out, and them saying “we went in only to help you guuuuyys”.
There is a “Polish bard”, Kaczmarski, who sang protest songs. You might even remember “Mury” - Walls, it recently got unearthed again in 2020 during the Belarus protests. Anyway, he’s got a song about a russian tank, that doesn’t understand why it isn’t fighting. It’s basically the machine spirit yearning to fulfill its purpose, watching the other bank through an empty periscope. Talking about its armor, which is heated up by the September heat and yearning to attack. Complaining about the cold engine, the engine grease stagnating and coagulating because noone sat behind the viewfinder / targetting reticle for a month. It talks about the “larynx of the barrel yearning for the taste of a projectile going through it”. But the only taste it gets is the smoke wafting over from the other bank of the river. The tank hears the screams of Poles in the headsets that have been taken off. It ask why it didn’t cross the river sprinting. It begs to be able to grab the sleek waves with its tracks. It begs to be able to “support the barricades with fire”. It doesn’t want the city, which is so close, to call its inaction “a betrayal”.
Sadly, the HQ is silent, as silent as the flowers on the bank of the river, behind which the tank lays hidden. Because a ruskie tank won’t fight for the Poles, the ruskie tank is to wait till they are all wiped out.
And when the uprising burns out in a darkened lightning, they’ll turn on the engine. They’ll wake the blood of the machine. So it could watch the city that was so close, taking over ruins and rubble without a fight.
Honestly, for anyone even remotely thinking if Russia / Soviet Union was “right” or “had a point” or “were the saviours of Europe”, just find lyrics to songs about World War 2 that talk about specific events. You will very quickly be rid of that notion.

As someone said - there is always a “weird” date, someone’s birthday, someone’s death, country falling apart or whatever.

Maalus@lemmy.worldto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•"It'll shave several light years off our journey... the Prime Directive will understand." - Janeway6·3 months agoI just watched the episode where she has the biggest issues with allying to some faction that kept attacking them. Then she gets “a talking to” from the first officer and the security officer going “bruh we just got our asses kicked, this aint the alpha quadrant we need this”. So the solution is to ally themselves with the first other faction they come across - a deus ex machina fleet of previously unknown oppressors of the faction that kept attacking them.
Apparently the dealbreaker is “the oppressors who enslaved an entire race trying to assassinate the leaders of the other faction they used to enslave”
Prime suggestion all the way. They really tried to make it “the sensible choice” in the early seasons, and they failed so hard at it that it’s rolled over from “funny” to “eyeroll” again

There are various warframes that work completely different when they are prime. And yeah, you spending so much time with the game makes it that the things that it does bad seem normal to you.
