Can’t wait for gamers to completely ignore this and buy their next console and pokémon game

No, just not many job postings for it. Go look on indeed with that exact title. Switch to remote, almost no jobs

I’m not necessarily talking about being in the server room, I’m talking about more like doing power shell stuff and the stuff you would think system administrators do. They are still teaching active directory in IT classes in college

Do system administrators still exist? Honest question. I was one of those years ago and layoffs, forced back to office bullshit drove me away

See Coral Island is so cute and unique that I personally felt it was just perfect. It wasn’t so closely resembling SDV that I felt like I was playing a bootleg version haha

it can just be a casual game to relax.

Fair point. I didn’t find it relaxing, it just felt like a gutted version of Stardew that treats me like I’m not smart enough to figure anything out. Everything has an unskivable tutorial like blacksmithing and cooking. You can’t buy any of your own basic recipes. It just sends them to you automatically in the mail, which is extremely annoying because it undermines player choice. That’s what was kinda annoying to me. Maybe if it was more like old-school RuneScape it would be more relaxing ? That game has no recipes, you just level up and know the recipe by default.

how you’re saying it is what is rubbing people the wrong way.

Can you help me understand so I can avoid this in the future? Being completely honest, I don’t mean to sound toxic or petulant at all

People just don’t like what they hear. I wanted to like the game, I really did. But I just can’t

First of all this is a lot of text and I appreciate all the effort you have taken to express your opinion.

Apologies, still new to the posting style here on Lemmy. It cut off the TLDR which I have added back in

There are some points I would like to comment on even if I have not played the game myself

I don’t get it. How can you provide your commentary on something you have never experienced? Like, I get what you’re saying and respect to your opinions but like… You kind of have to try it and live through it for a little while to really get it.

Secondly I don’t blame devs for not beeing active on social media with the community. Especially when your game is rather small

If you look at their actual team website, they have a huge team. I think there’s no excuse for them to have no community presence, considering that concerned ape is just one person, he’s just one dude developing the entire thing himself and he has been very vocal and very active. Their website shows that they have at least 10 members on their team, and they barely interact with the community. It just feels like a cash grab when you take that into account. Sorry if that sounds harsh but it is what it is

not sure what a ceremonial rich dude could have done

People are afraid and confused, they have never seen anything like this. They need something to direct their anger towards, and out of confusion, they see this rich guy with no problems and never having struggled before in his life. Too easy of a target. There are probably a lot of questions that people don’t have answers to. How could they have not seen this coming? Why was there no warning? Why aren’t the rich people using their personal funds to help with the efforts of recovery? That’s my take

And we’re saying it’s always looked that way. It’s always looked like a cartoon, but that’s not a bad thing

The reason it looked like that back then was because of the fact that It was relatively new, had just started out, that was the state of technology back then. It just doesn’t make sense to me that after 15 years and being acquired by One of the largest companies in the entire world, they can’t afford to design characters that don’t look stupid. If you look at the statistics for World of Warcraft, all of the animal races are barely played. About 85% of people either play human, or some sort of elf because they want characters that look good. Basically, almost no one plays the ugly ones

I played during vanilla and burning crusade, so the first few expansions. It was nothing like it is now. Now people running around in yeti costumes and everything looks just plain stupid in my opinion. I’m not saying graphics wise they were ever super impressive or something like that. I’m just saying like, it looks clowny

Threads is better 😁

Still no anti cheat support

Copilot by Microsoft is completely and utterly shit but they’re already putting it into new PCs. Why?

That’s totally wild

I quit after they fraudulently charged me a 6 month subscription renewal and then refused to refund it for months because no customer service reps anymore, and then the next expansion had paid early access for a huge paywall. It’s a total scam now

Imagine a parallel world where no one brought the horse armour

Redditors said the same thing

You know it’s so funny about the hunting skill that was really controversial? The people who actually did the skill did not enjoy it at all It was extremely tedious and frustrating, myself included. One of the worst skills and I’ve had no interest in doing it since. But it is by far the most botted skill in the game, pretty much everyone that I came across two years ago doing that skill when I still played, they were all bots. Like every single one of them. You could even mess them up just for fun by putting boxes around them so that you captured stuff and they would basically error out because the spot wasn’t working
