The video author posted this comment under the video which goes over his main claims:

"Claims I provide evidence for in this video:

  1. Many MrBeast videos are fake, contests are unfairly rigged, and contestants are often undisclosed friends and family of MrBeast employees, or employees themselves.

  2. MrBeast has run multiple illegal lotteries targeting children. (I estimate they profited over $10,000,000 from these lotteries)

  3. MrBeast knowingly sold merch with fake autographs while claiming on his website that “The autographed piece is genuine”. (fraud imo)

Also MrBeast knew about Kris being a pdf"

The Last Sovereign (NSFW) is an 18+ RPGmaker game. The basic premise is this: What if you had a setting with a bunch of hentai tropes lumped together and played straight, with no porn logic or stupid characters?

You play as a middle aged, very competent army veteran who gains the powers of an incubus, and reluctantly uses them with the aim of making the world a better place, slowly developing a harem of well realized, cool characters along the way. There's sex scenes, obviously, but you very quickly forget all about them as you are plunged into an underdog story where you have to manage your fledgling armies + resources and have to constantly make tough decisions.

I'm on the other side of the fence here, amazed that people still bat for a company that can't deliver a product after what, 10 years past the first estimate release date?

The title feels misleading, this isn't the actual main lawsuit, the case is far from over. I doubt Steam will want to display the game again given that they are still in hot water legally

Kira has been covering the situation from the start and he has a great video talking about this development

Enderal, a whole new game built ontop of Skyrim. Offers an entirely different setting, map, class system, enemies, spells, and has an actual story that you will not soon forget.

I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.

Can't stand media that thrusts you into a zany, fantastical world where completely insane shit happens constantly, nothing makes sense, there's no consistency and you're supposed to somehow keep going through the fever dream of a setting for however many hours before you can piece together what's actually going on and become invested

Needless to say I bounced off Nier: Automata really hard

"A preliminary investigation indicates Kang knew the victim only online, having met him playing a fantasy video game called ArcheAge. According to the game's website, it is shutting down its North America and European servers this week because of a declining number of users. "

No wonder they don't have players left, this dude beat them all to death

Ouroboros - an RPGmaker game where the protagonist is trapped in a looping simulation and tries to escape without alerting his captors. Short and sweet, perfectly executes the power fantasy of being a hyper competent rational character who's gone completely emotionally numb after living for thousands of years. It's an adult game and features some sex scenes but they're not important and I think they can even be turned off. It goes on an 80% discount every steam sale.

Tried to get into fighting games on a keyboard, could not perform any motion input after an hour of trying, not even a quartercircle. Finally looked it up online and realized you're supposed to drag your finger across the keys, not tap them. Really embarassing

Put like 20hrs into Borderlands 2, really wanted to like the game but I kept getting my teeth smashed in even though I watched guides, used a meta build, tried different characters etc. Then I tried multiplayer with some friends & observed one of them stop progressing to farm some unremarkable zone. After a while she got a specific legendary weapon and proceeded to instantly destroy everything for the next hour+. Finally realized I was approaching the game like it was a narrative FPS when in reality it's an ARPG.

If you don't directly pay for a product but engage with it, you are still supporting it. You are driving up user metrics, generating ad revenue, creating content for others (videogames, social media). It's complete nonsense to claim you are against something but then continue to use it

This does apply to the current Reddit situation but I formulated this view a while back after quitting Gacha games, people playing those titles looooooove talking about how they would never pay a penny due to the evil monetization but they have no qualms about recruiting friends, writing positive reviews, being content for paying players to lord over, creating guilds etc.

Not OP but I think this needs to be said - it's not that it's a pokemon-like game that just happens to randomly include super out of place looking modern weapons for the hell of it. It's a game with sweatshop labour, eating your pals, pals eating other pals, cannibalism, poaching, death from overwork, all sorts of messed up lore etc. The guns aren't an outlier, they're a fitting part of the game's zany atmosphere

Feel lost still, very much miss the population on reddit. I browsed a lot of gaming subreddits, and the ones with dozens of daily posts there get maybe one per month(!) on their lemmy equivalent, and more niche subs don't even exist here. It sucks. Yes, I try to make posts, but I alone wont change things.

Dont use reddit for entertainment but still have to use it for tech support or product reviews, there is 0 competition in that regard. Tried using a site that searches through multiple reddit-esque sites for questions like this but gave up bcs 10/10 times the only answers were on Reddit.

Enderal, a total conversion mod for Skyrim. Free, just requires ownership of the skyrim base game or special edition (there's a version for either).

Has a whole new map, reworked classes, changes to combat, banger OST (here's my favorite, hits incredibly hard when you're listening to it in-game at a tavern) and the story is just incredible. I still think about it, and the choices I made, years later. Dozens of hours long, moreso if you are a completionist.

My first ever D&D character from my edgy teen phase. A dark elf wizard named Raphael the Dark, originating from R'lyeh, chaotic evil stupid with a penchant for world domination.

The campaign he was in lasted about 20mins as I've immediatelly attempted to kill my party but I've kept fond memories of it & when I was browsing the character creation options I realized I can make that character almost exactly - a Drow elf warlock with the eldritch patron, Dark urge origin who always chooses the dumbest evil dialogue option. It's going to be a blast

Very reasonable, I hope the dev sticks to his guns and keeps a manageable pace. I feel that it's right to expect content updates coming in if the game is marked early access, but so long as you don't pull a Valheim, people shouldn't be mad at you

Haven't bought yet but I'm thinking of getting Old School Rally. I played a few racing games that looked just like this when I was a child so the visuals are giving me intense nostalgia

Glowing praise from journalists and middling scores from youtube reviewers... Same exact situation as Veilguard even down to Mortisimal glazing it.

It's gonna be awful isnt it

Your comparison to Satisfactory makes me think you're approaching the game with a completely wrong mindset. It's not supposed to be a chill sandbox playground with no difficulty where you rapidly conquer the planet and build cool stuff. It's intended to be an engaging survival game with a horror aspect of diving into dark depths and hoping that whatever lurks there doesn't notice you. It's meant to be atmospheric, with the threat of starvation, predators and later on some story aspects pushing you to explore further and deeper for materials and tech.

I hope you give the game anoher chance at some point because it really is a one of a kind experience. There's two things you should be aware of: First, in regards to another comment: there's no events for you to miss, IDK what that person is saying. There's two big plot points that happen in a playthrough regardless of your presence. Both of them give you a timer well in advance so you can show up to / observe the place when it happens. Everything else, like all the distress signals or abandoned bases? They're empty from the start of the game, even if you go there immediatelly nothing will change. You aren't missing out on anything.

Second, don't feel bad about missing out on upgrades or whatver. The vast majority of them are sidegrades. The important stuff that you need to progress both spawns much more often than the sidegrades, and you will often find it at the distress signal locations.
