Its still referred to as shrinkflation as i have seen it used. Putting filler material is just hiding the shrinkage, but the motivators and the result is the same

I would say it’s worse than that. Like knowing that you are selling exp boosters changes the calculus on how exp is earned. If the game played smoothly, there would be no need to sell the boosters and creating the eco system to support it would have been wasted. A system where certain items are nft based would push for these items to be better then the non nft items both for expectation of value, and to raise the trade value to siphon from. This already happens with games with dlc cosmetics. The gear in the games looks increasingly shit compared to the DLC. And that is a natural consequence of polluting the game space.
But why honor other companies tokens? Hell why honor your old tokens? You make the effort to create assets in your new game, are you going to just give it to a limited number of players who play both game for free, or resell it to all players? If you buy an nft for a game that then gets ignored, was it any different then a DLC, or using the steam market place to trade the item? After all i have read i don’t see where this helps players at all, and for companies, the only benefit i can see is if they pump and dump their players.
Whelp, there goes that hope. Back to being angry.
Mine is biking, it was very hot for a few weeks, and so i stopped, but now that it’s getting to be the fall and perfect biking weather… i can’t. They found a cyst aggressively growing inside my jaw and i have lost 1/3 of my jaw bone mass. The surgeon installed a marsupialization and said it will take me 10 months to grow the bone back…assuming it even can. In the mean time, the surgeon is afraid of me even eating chicken, let alone doing anything that could have me fall.
Um, being a status symbol, and um, its got some good software…
This frames the situation like they equally oppose a cease fire? I got the impression that hamas agreed to conditions of a cease fire, and isreal altered the deal to continue bombing palestine, though.
Its the most ok’est coder with the attention span of a 5 year old.
Damn, i only just learned how to close the darn thing! Didn’t know the rabbit hole goes so deep.
If it’s early? One.
“With the sense she has been raped wile she slept”
Seems to me an appropriate short hand to what was written. And i also believe that in rape cases, like all criminal cases, the victim should be trusted but verified. And the accused is innocent until proven guilty. And that the names of both parties should be sealed until the matter is resolved.
It’s not owned by a conglomerate that has the misaligned goal of harvesting your data for profit. The fediverse’s goals far closer match the goals of the average poster.
But don’t think this solves the human condition. As a whole we are attention seeking, validation needing, ass holes every single one. I wouldn’t expect much difference in the posters or the mods.
I don’t have to interact with them. I kinda move on to more important things, like arguing about video games.
Yea, i mean i don’t believe it for a second, but it would still be cool AF
Yep. I would say that the old games were ahead of their time, but it’s more accurate to say that we have regressed since.
Wile preferences can be subjective… i am still going to demand that (stable)frame rate > graphical fidelity, and that 60 is only the bare minimum.
You are thinking about “cinematic“. And i would argue that being forced for movies is not because it’s better, but because it’s extended use in films gives the low fps an expected quality for movie watchers. The hobbit suffered from success over this.
Back in the day the fps for games was tied to the, i think it’s hrtz off the power lines, it alternates in 60hz in America. Slightly less in the UK.
I have given dark souls II more chances then any other in the series. And man from was more then a little assholish there. Iron keep can kiss my ass
I mean if so then good! If he has any evidence he could fucking share about it then we can go on trying to solve the puzzle. It would be a bold and striking move that would put from software aseven more transcendent a developer
Whats surprising is that a lot of those old games…. ran at 60 FPS.
Right, by design. But when your are talking about the phenomenon casually, because the purpose and result is the same, shrinkflation seems to suffice. Are you asking for the name of the phenomena in the context of a detailed study? For that i am not sure it has a term it’s own.
