My love for Nintendo games has a direct correlation with how much I am frustrated at Nintendo for their harsh stance against emulation and their general shittiness towards customers.

not just impossible deadlines, but also management’s apathy towards users, tolerance/encouragement of toxicity at work, and bias towards making games as aggressively next gen as possible
Bethesda games are usually succesful, Bethesda releases are usually a pile of crap. I can get past the “release $70 garbage and patch it up” model, but I don’t see anything here that makes me want to. I could totally end up loving it - not going to completely write it off based on trailers - but nothing I’m seeing here looks all that interesting.
I thought they had dennis be the only one not to get the stabbo last season?

I don’t get the hype… I watched the gameplay trailer and it looks intensely underwhelming. Ignoring the sales jabber, it looks like a big, empty world which, at its best, is a knockoff of No Man’s Sky. They barely show any shots that aren’t the PC staring at a big, uninspired vista or having bland combat in bland sets. Considering how Bethesda releases go, how AAA releaes in general go, and the fact that trailers like these are supposed to OVERsell the game, I’m not really all that interested right now.
I’m mainly saying that from the hosting side, especially if you’re hosting on a personal IP at home or something, the “nightmare” scenario is that google tracks you down based on information leaks and slaps you with a TOS violation and account suspension. They don’t need any actual evidence to screw with you, they hold all the cards regarding their services once they’ve decided to cause you trouble.
The more likely scenario is that people serving invidious at a scale noticable to google will have their hosting providers slapped with some kind of cease and desist. (Yes, not all hosting providers will have to comply, but many will - why deal with big tech lawyers over something like this?). That won’t stamp the service out, but it will make using it trickier and less reliable.
It’s playable, but I’d learn the controls and interface on a desktop or on a dock with peripherals plugged in first. It’s built for a desktop experience right now, so things feel small on the handheld deck and the mapped controls are a little weird. That being said, I still enjoy it.
at least it’s not mobile 😅
I don’t think Star Trek works as grand strategy, the lore is too restrictive to really allow for both player choice and the “star trek” feel. ST would be best as an action/adventure game, I think. Basically, fly around to different planets with different themed adventures while building crew relationships just like the shows. Resurgence was supposed to be something along those lines, but it looks disappointing.
it’s a mix of luck and good upgrade picking. some games you get all the widgets in place to get everything, some you have to barely scrape by. I think some tower upgrades make the higher level buildings more accessible though.
oh no
lately: against the storm. making a city builder into a roguelite was genius.
Technical issues aside, they can do legal takedowns on the big instances and while they can also technically do small ones, I doubt they will. The thing is that a TOS violation can lead to a suspended google account, so it’s a ‘high risk, low probability’ event for self hosters with a google footprint (such as an android device).
