coffee hot take
@evie having just been too lazy to put the kettle back on to drink the rest of my aeropress this morning, I agree, there's no contest
@aoife I've been wanting to get all my gamedeving friends together in one place but I don't want to be a focal point, not to mention close to 20 years of IRC moderation has taken its toll
Genshin Impact is a mostly single-player game with optional 4-player co-op support, supposedly monetized via loot boxes.
However, their EULA states that:
- The game will install a kernel level anti-cheat and include a ring 0 driver.
- Mihoyo (the game company) reserves the right to monitor your computer when *the game is not running*.
They also actively work to block playing the game on virtual machines and other forms of process isolation.
I'm getting the feeling that this is less about loot box sales and more about extreme data mining.

@maxine I personally feel it's fine to target something as a challenge but you shouldn't feel beholden to it
OK, I think I am trying a poll
Boosts are very appreciated to get more input!
Do you prefer retro games more like it would be playable on a certain console, or do you like the "just retro" feel.
Playable on console means:
- color restrictions and sound like from the console
- doesn't mean you need an emulator or it actually be playable on that console (as I develop in GameMaker Studio 2)
"Just retro" means:
- (cute) pixel art and retro like music, without specific restrictions
