Kolanaki, do gaming w Valve releases full Team Fortress 2 game code to encourage new, free versions
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I’d love to see someone make a “TF2 Classic” where it’s the game as it was on release, but with all the current QOL and fixes; none of the unlockables and hats and all that bullshit. Just pure fucking fun. Oh, and also give us back all the scripting commands they needlessly took away because some players are too dumb to type shit into the console or download someone else’s config and were claiming that they were unfair.

happydoors,

Google tf2 classic and be amazed. What you speak of has existed for years

Baguette,

demoknight and direct hit soldier are like some of the most fun loadouts though

Even trolldier is fun (granted I suck at it)

off_brand_,

Man I remember the last time I successfully played spy as a kid, with the, “turn left/right 170 degrees and backstab” commands you input right as you pass by someone.

Doable by hand, but now I have a cat on my desk at all times and the range of motion requires to whip around that fast isn’t gonna happen.

I had made a script that would allow me to set timers for my stickies as a demo. Spray a CP or doorway with 'em, set the timer to, like, 60 seconds and then go spam regular nades somewhere and just wait for someone to explode a minute later.

TF3 confirmed?

viking,

Deadlock is pretty much TF3, haha.

Best thing would be to terminate Artemis

@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, shit idea. And exactly why NASA gets shit on for consuming money with less to show for it.

Spend billions on a program set up by one administration, then some tool comes along and wants to cut costs because they want to look effective and cuts NASA’s programs. Program never completes, now it’s just a waste. NASA, being by default a scientific endeavor thar doesn’t need to return an profit other than exportation and research data, is an easy target. Billions invested and nothing to show for it. WhY iS NaSA So iNeFfeCtIve!?! Repeat for another program later.

For many reasons twitch is a bad platform and I hope this encourages people to platforms where they actually have control like peertube.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history

If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

nahostdeutschland,

They could also give the option to pay for this. They should know what storing a video costs and therefore could give creators the chance to cover that cost.

deegeese,

A lot more work to introduce a new product than to turn on a TTL in a DB.

Is there really enough demand (potential revenue) to justify the effort?

I'm glad we have the word "enshittification" because otherwise it'd be difficult to explain what they've done to Twitch.

Is “engagement” just weaselspeak for “advertisements”?

lysy, do news w Telefon z Androidem serbskiego studenta zaangażowanego w protesty zhackowany exploitem od Cellebrite

Wiedząc o tym, jak polskie władze używają Pegasusa i jemu podobne oprogramowanie, zalecam wszystkim działającym mieć uaktualniony system w telefonie. Serbia też jest demokracją.

Na Pegasusa aktualizacja nie ma za dużego wpływu - jadą na 0-dayach konsekwentnie. Bardziej pomagać ma… regularne restartowanie telefonu. Większość tych hacków nie utrzymuje się przez restart.

Emerica, do games w Kaizen: A Factory Story makes a game of perfecting 1980s Japanese manufacturing

Zachtronics is back!! Was bummed when they said they weren’t making anymore games, guess they just changed names.

They made some of the best programming games out there for anyone that hasn’t heard of them.

Sylvartas,

Oh shit you’re right, that is great news !

jeeva,

I am amused to report that this is a legally distinct definitely-not-Zachtronics company that just happens to have two guys (including Zach) from Zachtronics in.

… But yeah, they’re back, whoo!

Wtf

New Zachtronixs game dropping wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card

overload, (edited )

I’ve not heard of Zachtronics, but love puzzle games. Do you have a recommended one of theirs?

Edit: thanks everyone!

FooBarrington,

All of them are pretty great! I’ve played a bunch of Shenzhen/IO, and it taught me a lot about low-level programming.

BuboScandiacus,
@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Depends on what you like, I suggest that you check them out yourself

@missingno@fedia.io avatar

I'd say Opus Magnum is the best entry point for beginners, no programming knowledge needed.

Emerica,

Can’t really go wrong with any of their games but Infinifactory and EXAPUNKS are my favs.

gonzo-rand19,

EXAPUNKS and Last Call BBS have the most flavour IMO. TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O are also very good.

Honestly, all of them are worth trying so that you can see which ones are for you. They're all pretty different (with a couple of exceptions), especially MOLEK-SYNTEZ.

It's horrible of you to post this when it's not out yet, now I have to wait to buy it. D:<

(Comments on the article mention that Zach said in an unofficial Discord that they're looking at releasing this summer but nothing concrete.)

I was so pumped the first ariane 6 launch, I grew up with watching ariane 4 launches and had a huge revell model kit in my room.

So glad to see that Arianespace is back in business. At least now it is also abundantly clear that Europe needs its own and sovereign access to space.

    en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ariane

    If your day is just starting, maybe you need a coffee. There’s a distinct difference between Aryan (or Aryen in French) and Ariane (or Ariane in French).

    Different words in different languages sounding the same is a wild launch to a crusade in 2025. Wait until you hear about Ariana Grande… the most Grand of all the Aryans. I know the additional letters won’t fool you.
