I don't get why this is apparently so hard
if a game is being offered at a standard price of less than $10, give devs a checkbox on publishing where they can say "in good faith I believe my game takes less than 3 hours to complete" (wiggle room), and those particular games have a pop-up on purchase that says "warning: this game is very short so its refund window is only 1 hour"
that should fix literally everything
if the dev was lying and it's actually a very long game and all they wanted to do was sneakily decrease the refund window...oh well, they're the one harming their own sales and perception by triggering that flag which players will naturally be suspicious of, and it's a very cheap game so most players shouldn't be too upset about not being able to refund it

This might not have been a red card when I first started watching soccer in 1994, but it's certainly been an uncontroversial red in the VAR era.
Then they should play without studs

Ngl, some of the actors aren't helping


It's got flop written all over it. Woke nonsense pissing on a literal classic story. Dumbarse actors getting shitty because their politics are questioned. It'll have a huge marketing push behind it, and has very little competition at the box office, but it ain't gonna be Dune 3.

Sounds like critics love it. Success Trumps 

Nolan the GOAT.

Critics loved The Last Jedi. Critics are often retarded.

What has voting ever done materially for Black people?

Colonialism? Still exists.
White supremacy? Still exists.
Guys with Nazi tattoos? Still exists.
Guys alleged to have committed sexual assault? Still exists.
Guys who worked for private military companies during the same conflict that my parents served during and I receive the benefits such as car insurance and seven year car loan from? Still exists.
Mark Wahlberg's career? Still exists.
Genocide? Still exists.
Police? Still exists.
Prison? Still exists.
Lucio having fewer skins than other characters? Still exists.
Generative AI? Still exists.
People trying to use more coupons than corporate regulations allow? Still exists.

Let this be a lesson for folks to crack open some books and rigorously critique their behavior and beliefs. Or else you'll just be stanning for more imperialism in the future.

For the record, I'm not sure what book you'd read exactly to learn the "rigorous critique" of "never support or trust anyone who has ever worked in any capacity to support American foreign policy." Seems like it'd be a pretty short book.

Or I suppose in typical leftist fashion it would take 400 pages of borderline gibberish and word salads to say that. Oh you!

So a thread was bumped:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/say-something-nice-about-another-member-on-gaming-side-2026-edition.1407487/page-2

Just another random thread getting bumped, right? Look at the post:

ScrappyFan92 wrote:SharpX68K posts cool stuff from older 3D games.

I noticed that Sharpx68k tends to bump political threads for no reason at all, EX:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-voters-say-trump’s-iran-war-not-worth-the-cost-—-ft-poll.1569451/#post-157586455


so is curious that someone just bumped a random thread to say “something nice” about him.

I was one of the dozens of devs laid off at Obsidian today. Incredibly priveleged to have landed my dream job right after school. Obsidian was an amazing place to work. The cancer Xbox.

And Ive always been an Xbox hater! Fun fact: I dont even own my own game on their shitty console.
