Patreon is a bit of a grey area though since you're not directly paying for the mod, you're just paying to support the author, but a lot of the time it gets you access to things. For example Azanor is making $1600+ off Patreon per month and you get beta access to Thaumcraft 6 and it's pretty blatantly about the money. Azanor posted:There has been an unfortunate increase in "samplers" lately (people who pledge $25+ to get beta access and then drop their pledge before the end of the month or who simply give bogus payment info).

I love the patreon model with modders, who's work is 100% free, can get donations from people who appreciate their work. When they start trying to withhold their mods to only paying customers and have meltdowns over it they can go gently caress them selves.

It helps a lot and I'm very grateful that Stellaris was built from the start with a firm and easy basis to mod it. When you have to take apart the game each time it updates to even be able to hack together an api, you're risking dooming the modding community to begin with. I'll give it some credit due to being an indie hit wonder, but almost every decision about modding in Minecraft from Notch and then Mojang has not handled it well.

Mazz posted:If managing planets is cut down to a very basic checklist, what exactly is left? I love the game for what it is and I'm buying Utopia immediately, but I don't see what else really is there besides picking techs, managing leaders occasionally, and fighting for small amounts of time. are you asking me to list all of the game mechanics that aren't tile management? because that seems like it could take a while anyway, the point here is not to reduce the amount of decisions that go into planet management, it's to reduce the amount of micro. at the moment 95% of tile management is clicking on planets to check whether you're close enough to a new pop that you need to build something/whether you missed a surface construction complete notification/whether a bunch of random aliens have moved in/whether your guys have hosed off somewhere and made everything stop working, and then clicking on stuff you decided to build ages ago, and like 5% of it is actually making non-trivial decisions

Yeah I've been using that when I'm not playing the excellent Star Trek mod because while exploring is fun at first by now I just want the option to automate it. Plus due to the card system sometimes you don't get the card before the point where you've explored everywhere you can before being boxed in.

The patch moves it to administrative AI I think which is like one of the first techs you can draw.

I just wish auto-exploring science ships had some concept of enemy stations. They'll poo poo their pants and flee if an enemy ship appears for a nanosecond on the other side of the system but they'll cheerfully fly straight into a hostile fortress without a care in the world  The first time I encountered Sanctuary I had 3 science ships on auto-explore just lemming into it one after another.

Demiurge4 posted:This is why Mojang stepped in and said 'No you idiots you don't get to monetize our game' You can though. See: https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation/ Basically, you can ask money for access to a server, or sell purely cosmetic addons, but you can't sell gameplay items or in-game currency, like diamonds or magic books or whatever. They had problems with servers restricting access to diamonds and asking money for them, so they'd get phonecalls from irate parents whose kids had bought a billion diamonds on some lovely server. And as far as I know they do enforce it. I guess you can interpret it as asking money for server access - that happens to have MC on it - and not asking money for Minecraft itself. MC videos are another exception. uXs fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Apr 3, 2017 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqGrB0HX6Ok Wiz, please don't take this the wrong way, but the whole shot with your face looks like you've made an online dating video. Hi, I'm Wiz. I am a Game Director at a Swedish video game company. I like long walks on the beach, robots, genetic manipulation, and eating other sentient beings.

The worst part of being on camera at work is all the edgelords who ironically tell you what a lovely job you did following the marketing drone's instructions sitting where you were supposed to sit and reading from the prompter even if you didn't need it. What's the right way to take people calling you an online psycho / serial killer, out of curiosity?

Ah, see, I said he LOOKS like a serial killer, not that he is one. And I get that it's not Wiz's fault, I've seen enough of the streams to know he's a human being with a face capable of displaying emotions/empathy, but what's the internet for if not being a dick to strangers?

He's a real guy that really posts in this thread and you are making poo poo up just to make him feel bad about his appearance. There is no serial killer 'look', that's just bullshit to say to make people feel bad about themselves! And it's not loving funny. Dude has a job and is doing his job. Don't use your personal access to insult and demean people conducting their trade, jokingly or otherwise.

I think it's just bad luck with the YouTube thumbnail preview picking a weird frame, it looks like he's in the middle of saying something but with it frozen like that it gives the impression that he's going to lunge at you. Still, that won't stop us from being unreasonably judgemental about everything you say and do - welcome to the internet!

The dude has to go on camera for his job with streams and promotional videos, making poo poo up because it's funny fucks with his ability to assess how he comes off to other people, it doesn't matter if malice wasn't intended if it affects him negatively. No one makes you be a piece of crap and lie to other people to insult them, that's your choice dude.

I think if a guy takes time out of his day to respond to our lovely comments/questions on his Good Game on our comedy website forums and then a video gets posted and then you devolve to the level of internet video comment sections, you are a bad poster.  Seriously though pretty low-brow.

Depends on if you really are a serial killer or not, I guess. Joking aside, let's be serious, if actual serial killers could be that easily found, law enforcement the world over would collectively sigh in relief. Claiming someone "looks like a serial killer" is basically failed comedy. It's one of those things which only sound funny inside your head, and the world immediately gets a little bit bleaker and darker if you ever actually let this poo poo out into the real world.
