Had the chance to play the demo at gamescom and talk to the devs. the game is both really beautiful and fun, really looking forward to it!

kindly use /s next time please^^;

According to this article by Rock Paper Shotgun, they have connections to known fundamentalist and conservative groups.

Collective Shout is run by christian fundamentalists

Payment processors should not get to police what kind of legal transactions people use their services for. No matter how much you dislike the particular product. And especially since they have an effective monopoly. If we let them go through with this, it would open the gateway for them to enact the kind of control over our consumption that should be exclusive to elected officials.

game jams and indie games. there’s no fee for publishing your game there, so it’s the go-to place for indiedevs

I’ve been curious about the story since they released the current alliance raid series in FFXIV which is a FFXI crossover. Would love to try it if there was some kind of combined subscription.

That could be the case! I do follow my lemmy-account from mastodon, (and the communities I mentioned as well).

This is a neat overview!! I like to federate my posts from microblogs as well, and did some tests.

Here are a few of my notes:

Viewing communities (from Mastodon) - that kind of depends? All communities I follow show up with their posts intact on mastodon (.social), but not when I use a different instance (e.g. mastodon.de) or software (examples: RenPy, Otome Games)

Viewing profiles (from Mastodon) - That also seems to depend on the instance. For example, here’s my profile as seen from mastodon.social. Viewing it from my Mastodon account, I can see all of the original posts and replies.

very cool!!

I use Mastodon and Goblin

You could try of The Devil! It’s an episodic indie cyberpunk courtroom mystery game and the first episode is free. (also i’ve been obsessed with it lately and need more people to talk about it pls pls pls)

we discussed this over in !otomegames@ani.social back when it was initially announced! The fandom seems to be delighted about this feature, but I’m personally more concerned about the data privacy aspect of it all…the author is absolutely right to look at this whole thing with scepticism

I find it a little far-fetched to solely link the popularity of otome games to some kind of frustration with modern dating, though. Romance games (and romance in games, e.g. Baldur’s Gate 3 or Mass Effect) offer a lot of fun in-and-of themselves.

It’s a section at the bottom of the steam store page:

Code is also part of Steam’s required AI disclosure form , so I think it should be filtered as well

Thanks for the tip, I’ve cross-posted the thread^^

Here’s the banner I posted in the original thread, it’s a screenshot from steamdb of games with at least 100k reviews and a user rating of at least 89 with the details of each card omitted:

I agree 100%, both look super ugly

As an alternative, there are tons of gamepad icons on freepik like this one that could be used as long as theres an attribution link in the community description.

Also here’s a quick collage I screenshotted from steamdb, feel free to use it if there aren’t any better ones by others:

Infinity Nikki! It’s probably my new favourite dress up game (dethroning FFXIV)
