ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 4 narrative director hints at dialling back the toilet humour – WGBEnglish10·10 months agoI would consider myself a borderlands fan since I’ve played every game in the series a bunch of times (except the tell-tale ones). Being obnoxiously stupid was one of the key charms of the franchise. I think if you go and look at how the fanbase feels about 3, it’s going to be the gameplay was really fun but the main story and everything associated with it was terrible. I think most other side missions were pretty decently written and had the charming campyness of the series. Taking out the toilet humor is a real ship of Theseus activity to do in a series where toilets are chests.
ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.worldto Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•The enormous scale of global food waste.English8·1 year agoThe motivation behind doing it was that different cultures treat what is food differently as is exemplified in their example of chicken feet. However, that also raises big questions on the efficacy of this data since houses which use raw fruits and vegetables are probably likely to have higher food waste by this definition since most people aren’t buying bone-in meat. But since a big objective of their report was tackling greenhouse gas generation from said food waste, I guess it makes sense in that context? I tried to figure out the exact methodology by which they estimate their numbers but I wasn’t able to find it.
ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.worldto Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•The enormous scale of global food waste.English20·1 year agoLooked at the UN report that this chart is trying to use and found this: “Food waste” is defined as food and the associated inedible parts removed from the human food supply chain.

ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•India relied on coal and gas power to cope with heatwave31·1 year agoThis is a very bait way to mention the fact. It insinuates India is increasing effort towards coal and gas when that is clearly not true. India is globally the third largest producer of renewable energy and 40 percent of all new energy plants are renewable energy. Also, if you think about it, do you really think it’s possible to generate extra electricity from wind and solar and hydroelectric on demand? Naturally, if your demand goes up, you can only burn more fuel. The best way to do this would be to consume nuclear fuel which India already is moving towards, but the current infrastructure is still significantly reliable on coal. Also, if you want to blame global heat on India, I would recommend looking at per capita statistics instead of punching down at a country which had all of its resources stripped by a nation which built its wealth on colonialism

ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Why is it so expensive to make games in the United States?English21·1 year agoBrother, it’s your cost of living. Almost every other country which has a footprint on the video game market and isn’t known for black policies has better working hours and balance of life. It’s just that paying Americans a liveable wage is three or four times more expensive than giving a reasonably comfortable wage to a developer elsewhere.
The other part of it is to look at where your game companies are clustered in the US. It’s either the bay area, Seattle, or Florida. None of those places are exactly cheap to either hire employees with these conditions or to hold an office space.
ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Path of Exile: Introducing the Currency Exchange MarketEnglish5·1 year agoI think one of the major reasons why they are having to do PoE 2 is because the game has garnered a reputation of being a spreadsheet simulator, which really hurts any new users from picking the game up. This is, of course, an almost imminent death to any game. There is also some truth in it, in how the game has bloated itself to where it is now, where any seasonal character has to click 50 buttons between running maps.
PoE2 lets them not have to invest time in their current set of issues and start fairly afresh. Even if half of their committed users don’t pick up 2, it is still bound to outperform 1, I feel.
Classic mistake. They picked a cinema when they had to pick a flick or joint.
ObamaBinLaden@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•The US needs to build 2 million houses to revive the American dream of homeownership1422·1 year agoBuilding houses to solve the housing crisis implies that the crisis was caused by a lack of homes. Every single one of the 2 million houses would be picked up by a property firm or a Chinese millionaire just the way it has been happening for the last ten years. What you really need is legislation, but what you are getting is more food for the hounds.
