Announcement from the Institute for Justice, which took up this case:

Body camera footage is also included lower on the page under the “Video” section.
Definitely a great nonprofit firm that does a lot of good work bringing cases before the Supreme Court. Especially for those that can’t afford to do so.
Has it been? I just got the email from Steam a few hours ago that it’s Live now. They must be really late to notify everyone in that case.
Looking through the community it looks like they had originally planned to release the demo today, but ended up releasing it early on June 5th, and the game will only be available to play until the 16th.
Edit: typo
That’s the one, looks like they switched names about a year ago?
I mean, it really depends on how you define scam. If you’re so loose with the definition that you would have considered No Man’s Sky a “scam” when it first released, then I can understand that.
Otherwise it’s not really a scam. There’s a free trial going on right now in Star Citizen.You’re free to check out the game for yourself. It’s in a really good state compared to what we’ve previously seen (not even close to bug free, but way more playable than before).
Sure, larger businesses have more developers to get more work done. But there comes a time when throwing new developers at a problem convolutes the process and actually slows things down more than it helps.
Something that seems simple to you like a flashlight attachment may not be so simple under the hood.
Solo indie devs have an advantage because they’re familiar with all of the code. They’re the ones that wrote it.
They don’t need to learn a new part of the code when making fixes or changes. They don’t need to explain to another dev that “you don’t change how this information is passed in here because you’ll need it to look just like that in some other section that you’ll never touch”.
Additionally any decisions/changes/etc. are all decided by one person, no need for meetings to get everyone on board and explain exactly what you want to do. No need to try to get everyone to understand your vision for what you want to happen.
A famous comic might explain this process a little better:
Maybe some people just don’t like grinding for hours and hours to replace stuff they already acquired in a video game.
Personally, I would rather that we have a variety of different game types and options. There aren’t very many MMOs that make death feel meaningful. If it’s not your type of game, then don’t play it.
Here’s another win for Steam:
Subnautica has a multiplayer mod, but it only works with an older version of the game. Steam lets you downgrade the version, Epic games does not.
Well, apperently I’ve been misusing the term “Deckbuilder” for a while. TIL. Thanks!
When did “deckbuilder” stop applying to TCGs? Isn’t that the original definition of a deckbuilder game?
I can’t think of any off the top of my head, but a quick search leads to some titles like:
Shapebreaker - Tower Defense Deckbuilder https://steamcommunity.com/app/1924010
Actual card battle games like Magic the Gathering.
Or deckbuilding like those castle/turret defense games.
I’d have to agree with @iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works, I’ve never been a fan of roguelike games where your next move/ability is left up to what you draw from your deck next.
Unwanted notifications? I’ll give you unwanted notifications:
I’m definitely looking forward to this game.
It’s looking good from what I’ve seen so far.
Well unless you did sunday driving… And put weapons on your car so you could go around demolishing the buildings you had built up in Sim City.
It’s not an easy answer, but the best way I’ve found so far is to use GrayJay.
If I find that one of the content creators I follow on YouTube happen to post their content on any other platform, I switch my subscription to that platform.
Besides YouTube they support Nebula, Twitch, Odysee, PeerTube, Dailymotion, Bitchute, Kick, BiliBili, Rumble, Patreon, and more.
Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!
Issues like that are usually related to windows security settings which block applications from modifying the contents of user specific folders.
If a game likes to write save files to those locations and you have enabled ransomware protection, you’ll need to allow an exception for it:
Go to Windows Security -> Protection History -> Protected folder access blocked (look for the game’s executable in this list) -> Actions -> Allow on Device
So many reposts in this community…
Out of the 133 countries where Helldivers 2 was previously locked out of, now there are only 7:
1. Belarus
2. Cuba
3. Iran
4. North Korea
5. Russian Federation
6. Syria
7. Viet Nam

Update: now there are 8… Japan was added to the list: https://steamdb.info/sub/137730/info/
However it looks like Japan has its own individual game package so players aren’t actually locked out over there.
