my cat used to do this. I think it’s less wall-scratching and more his trying to get his paws clean. If you have clumping or perfumed litter it may be irritating his beans. You might try switching litters or putting a bit of rug on the wall. switching my old boy to a non scented corn-based litter stopped this habit, ymmv

“here’s 5 bucks, get yourself something to eat ok?”

Now sometimes, they’ll engage you directly, but don’t worry folks! Just keep moving if that happens, and hope things get better. It’s not like you can really do anything for them.

It was made around the pinnacle of sprite graphics (the ps1 came out soon after, ushering us into the 3d era). Sprite graphics age better than 1st Gen 3D fo sho, the music makes the most of the hardware (tho its chip tunes) but its the art direction that puts it over the top and into greatness. I am am old man lol, i played it when it came out, aaand i replay it every few years or so, take my opinion for what it’s worth. Caveats aside i think if you like a good story you’ll like chrono trigger

Oh lord someone get this chud out of the thread! And fer fucks sake y’all never ask chuds a got damn thing. Cuz they’ll tell you, and it will be the dumbest shit you read today

Bad take. You started from the assumption that normal people care about this shit. They categorically do not.

Watch cowboys video that /u/Noxy@pawb.social posted in this thread. He explains far better than i can that if there’s a grift, it’s from the people who make money manufacturing outrage.

PS i never knew cowboy was fucking jacked holy shit lol

Wow fighting cowboy is like the only streamer i watch. Imma have to go look this up

Well now that settles it. i need to meet vilja

“What’s the deal with all these remakes?”

Control is so good i wonder why it didn’t become way more popular

Yeah, i don’t disagree with a thing ya wrote. I’m not claiming that people shouldn’t care; just that it’s better to push for regulatory change rather than trying to affect change thru collective consumer action/raising awareness.

The author mentioned Horse armor’s probs why commenters are bringing it up

Off-topic, anyone remember the early days of rockpapershotgun? Goddamn i miss the stylings of the og writers. Now it’s just another game site but I’ll never forget some of their early pieces

counterpoint: it’s the far more prevalent mentality of “blaming foolish consumers” that ruins it for the rest of us.

Expecting consumers to ever do differently at scale is a dead-end fantasy we all need to stop having.

Only market regulation stops manipulative market practices.

Doing anything less then “advocating for laws to stop this shit” izza giant waste of brain cells, yet i see threads of people making that useless case every time something like this happens.

Change will not come from consumers voting with their wallets, FULL STOP

If someone readin thinking it will, NEVER think this again.

Hey! I see you, looking for an example of consumer action making a difference: Go find me 100 more. You’ll need about 100 to start make up for alla times deregulation have hurt and currently hurting consumers now.

Hear me: anyone advocating for consumer action or blaming consumers is doing them companies dry-fucking us a huge favor. These bad actors can and will continue as long as it is legal to do so.

“Mark of the ninja” low sysreq sidescrolling stealth game, multiple routes/playstyles. lots of fun, should be cheap too

I’m gonna be that other guy

“Viral game mouthwashing” and author didn’t say “cleaning up” on steam… Damnit it was right there maaaaannn…!

Oh dear are you in for a ride haha enjoy it, and do come back when you’ve finished and tell me what you think of the ending

So you are saying the studio is in some-kinna-in-between state? I can’t think of the term rn

10 US residents even.

Eh we all do it sometimes ha. Tbf it was your question that got me curious enough to look instead of just cruisin on so thanks i learned too

From the article:

The war on the Charlie server resulted in a stalemate where neither side was getting closer to winning, both had maxed out their technology, and all players were stuck in an end-game loop of manufacturing, delivering, and fighting with little to show for it.

“The main reason is to ensure that new players that have joined Charlie in the last month get the chance to experience a war as it’s meant to be played, progressing through early, mid, and late phases of the tech tree,”

-statement by the developer.

Turns out simply releasing the statement was enough to end the war as the upcoming change got players to commit to a big war push and win the game before the change went thru.
