I actually bought ultrakill but now I have an even bigger respect for the chad that is Hakita

How dare he make good games and have good opinions. I refuse, and will buy his game a second time out of spite.
This is how you effectively combat the interests trying to kill libraries, filesharing and the public commons in general. Continue normalizing the activity, as it makes law designed to attack it all the more odious and unworkable. The bad guys lose when cultural attitudes rally around free information exchange. The key to that is being public and vocal like the dev.
That’s how you make people buy your game instead.

Its really fucking good
Yea it’s genuinely fucking amazing OP, play the demo if you want to try it out.
Ultrakill, Terraria, Crosscode and Hollow Knight are the only singleplayer games I’ve gone out of my way to buy after playing through their pirated copies.
I love the fact that he does not only speak of gaming piracy, but of general piracy in general. He talks about culture, and it’s true, lack of culture is used to control the masses
It resembles the efforts of Archive.org and other culture-preservation driven websites/projects.
Internet is (or should be) our Library of Alexandria, where everyone is welcome —no matter their country, believes or financial situation— and have a feist on culture and knowledge like none other and for free. Games, art, books, cinema, Lemmy-like forums. You name it.

Well, gen 8 was no big loss.

Gen7 was nice tho it could just be nostalgia on my end.
The ultra gen 7 sucked tho
Internet needed to beat the game was an awful fucking idea

I should play some of the older games. I’m OK at battles but exploration is an issue, what older games aren’t tm reliant for exploration?

K, I’ll start with that.
What about gen 1 and 2 ?
@lvxferre @sleepybisexual Gen IV was when the real power creep started to happen.
deleted by creator
@lvxferre I know there are perverse incentives for power creep for games with in-game monetization but even with MOBAs who produce less and have less combinatorial possibilities on moves/items can have power creep so I don’t think mass production alone does it. I’d reckon power creep is a demand side problem, people get more dopamine when something they use is overpowered. Also legendary power creep prolly started with Gen III Kyogre rain-boosted STAB Choice Specs 150 base power spread move.

@lvxferre Define meaningful changes to core gameplay and Gamefreak doesn’t seem to have perverse monetary incentives to power creep so I’m just guessing a more benign creative block here rather than willful. I don’t think people buy Pokemon games for the competitive esports aspects anyway even though I see a lot of changes in later gens clearly geared towards VGC gameplay.
I know gen 8 pokemon are too strong but how was gen 4 guilty?
@sleepybisexual Aside from what lvxferre said, there’s also Stealth Rock with very ineffective way of removing it because of ghost types, random 120 base power moves and the physical/special split essentially buffing the coverage of offensive pokemon (Gengars can actually use Ghost type moves). Essentially the gen that made dragons overpowered. I guess you can say these are all subtle. Gen 6 onwards just made it more blatant with gimmicks like mega-evolutions, z-moves and terrain.
Yup, and also the legendaries got a lot stronger too.
With proton it runs like a charm for those who have Linux also!
Everyone working on Ultrakill is fucking amazing. You got a mix of trans artists who got into work with Ultrakill through gay hentai they drew of the game, a voice actor who posts memes on YT, and the main dev (Hakita, featured here) is a bi anti capitalist icon.
i got introduced to ultrakill precisely because of francis xie’s v1 x gabriel smut
Amen to that.
I was playing the demo over and over before I finally got the full game this year.
It’s ironic that when a dev says its ok to pirate their game, I feel a greater urge to purchase it legitimately. Maybe it’s because you have to be a certain level of cool to say that.
Well, this one is moving up on my steam wishlist.
Intellectual property is a lie created to protect capitalist interests.
Ok. And?
My opinion is that if you don’t have not much money to spend into video games that’s okay to pirate it, but try to encourage the creators by donating or just say thanks!
