How about the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, which provides additional protections and services for women who are in domestic violence situations. Things like access to free rape exams, legal representation etc.

Another day, another banger

Yep, my point exactly. Admittedly I am not a trans person, but my understanding is that trans people have slightly different concerns, protections and risks than cis people.

Makes sense. I think it’s possible to hold this belief and still be pro-trans rights. There’s literally not a limit on the number of laws we can have, seems silly to change what a legal woman is rather than include transgender women people as an additional group that these laws can apply to.

Same here. Give me some unique movement and platforming mechanics, an expanded world, and fun boss fights that make use of the platform and combat challenges that come about as a result of those new mechanics, and Silksong will be a hit for me. Looking forward to more of their OST, presuming Christopher Larkin is doing it again.

Yikes

Wow, over that period of time that’s reasonable for an enthusiast I would think. Mine (about 1000 USD plus that again from key resellers) is since I started mainly playing PC in 2017. I think the average game cost meant that the spend hasn’t lowered, but the size of collection has ballooned. Hardware costs are probably the greater spend in PC gaming (maybe not for your collection!)

Yikes that’s an order of magnitude above me and I thought I was bad. Over what time period?

The unpopular part is that I disagree with the discussion which is microscopically focussed on raging at game publishers, citing corporate greedy as the only reason game prices are so high.

$80 should be an affordable amount of money to spend for someone on an average wage for a game (not unpopular).

I mean, it would be great if the global population was lower, whilst also not creating aging population issues. Automation plus UBI seems a lot better than “everyone kill grandma”. Big issue being that those that own the automation don’t want to pay forUBI.

While I agree that 1 person can make a game easier than ever before, game development cost has ballooned for bigger studios.

People love to point to Indie mega hits and say “why doesn’t EA/Activision just make games with creativity like Balatro? This is what the people want.”, but I challenge anyone to actually predict what that hit game is going to be before it takes off.

It’s a big gamble to put games out there and most indie studios don’t make more than 1. It’s not a reliable business model to put these thousand person studios to work on a thousand different solo pet projects.

Truely Trump is the master of the Art of the Deal

Lonely Mountains: Downhill. A voxel indie mountain bike riding game that basically has you trying to ride down various mountain trails in shorter times and with less crashes. Very chill game, good for parents who don’t have a lot of time to game anymore.

Yeah WTF? Obviously the rest of the world needs to suffer for the cost increase in the US… Maybe now is the time to preorder a Switch 2 before Nintendo change their worldwide pricing. It’s cheaper than $450 USD here in Australia right now.

P in that case Nicole’s DMs are the Lemmy women’s sub.

Insane pricing

Prince of Persia, the lost crown was fantastic. Honestly the only ubi game I’ve considered paying for since the early 2010s

Blacklight: Retribution?

Gacha games= cute anime kids game. Balatro = literal gateway to gambling according too YouTube’s review system

Final fantasy tactics is decent on android too
