And I bought it last year! Just because it’s been out for a while doesn’t mean people aren’t still discovering it. Especially true for a 2d, stylized game like Terraria where maxing out the performance and graphics isn’t essential to make it competitive with newer games.
Actually, when I was in Paris in high school, I had the opposite experience - I kept trying to speak French (which I could speak conventionally after 6 years of study), and many people would refuse to answer me in French, instead answering me in English.

Game mechanics can’t be patented, only game assets (character models, etc) I’m wrong!

I did one similar! Used autohotkey to hide the task bar at random intervals and pop up a warning that said “system out of memory”. Only way to get it back was autohotkey or a reboot. It would restart daily and on login so it would keep happening. And I hid it as “Nvidia game scanner service.exe” in the Nvidia bloatware folder so it looked innocent. Had a good laugh about that one
The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).
Yeah exactly, but to get to that point we needed to message it to consumers as such for ~20 years. Similarly, in OPs example, the 20mg feels similarly to a 40mg, but with half the nicotine - clearly the measurement on the box is being used as a proxy for “how does this feel” (no clue if that has a measurement/is measureable) but could definitely message it similarly
That’s when you take a page out of the book of lightbulb manufacturers. On the box, CFLs and LEDs don’t show their actual wattage on the front, they write “100w equivalent” because that’s how people are used to measuring luminosity.
That’s what NEET technically means, but it’s taken on a greater meaning (especially on 4chan) of “person who lives in their parents basement well past the age it’s socially acceptable, has no social skills/is actively antisocial, has poor personal hygiene, and rarely (if ever) leaves the house”.
I didn’t even know this happened lol
I’ve never played any others but SR4 is great, super ridiculous
That was great, thank you for linking! I expected to just skim it and ended up reading the whole article and the follow-up
These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…
I believe publishers are responsible for sales, including what countries it’s for sale in. It’s not really up to the devs. Not in the games industry though, so could be wrong.
But a unique identifier in game doesn’t actually enforce bans, because what’s stopping someone from creating a new one? VS if you create a PSN account, you need some sort of verification (e.g. email address).
They could’ve done something similar with a non PSN login, though people would’ve probably still complained. And for them, it’s not 3rd party because it’s published by Sony IIRC, so it’s actually an in house system.
I also don’t own the game, but I just wanted to point out the reason in their argument isn’t entirely invalid.
What’s stopping you from deleting the game, redownloading it, and setting a new account name? Etc
I assume they’re talking about player names, not usernames - steam usernames are unique, but steam player names can be whatever you want and are often duplicates.
But here’s the thing - I didn’t enjoy dark souls when I tried, but I do enjoy other games that are very difficult for me and where I need to be determined to win
