I could see it being useful for games with terrible translations, or that might rely too much on culture-specific imagery or assumptions in their design language/plot to make sense to countries/cultures with different assumptions/expectations/morals.

Could also be useful for multiplayer games with regional servers that have a lot of activity in some countries and are dead in others.

They always said the South would rise again.

If anyone has ever wondered what it would look like if tech giants went all in on "brute force" programming, this is it. This is what it looks like.

Party of small government, huh?

I wonder if they're just telling him it succeeded, to keep him from ordering another one.

Can't find your sea legs, eh? Classic landlubber.

Of course, true enlightenment comes only when you accept that you will never be able to play every game you already own, let go of the worldly desire to clear your backlog, and buy more games anyway. At this stage of enlightenment, you transcend the need for willpower.

This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:

• Realized I'm trans
• Procured a Steam Deck
• Started pirating again
• Been on HRT for over a year and counting
• Developed a chronic dependency on Yuri manga
• Lost 50-60 lbs

I hope you have a good time here as well!

Weird dichotomy, when there's more than enough wealth to take care of both, if it were managed sensibly.

Those things are not mutually exclusive. When you lie to yourself, or just avoid looking too closely at something, you can effectively mislead yourself without actually knowing it. Then you do become that oblivious. This is called repression, and it's how I ended up not recognizing my own gender identity for over thirty years.

I still recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing "/ex".

It was actually short for "/exit". And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.

Not sure either. Best guesses are a combination of elitism, ignorance, preconceptions, groupthink, and insincere memeing.
