BroBot9000, do games w Is Palworld a “dead game”? Who cares, says the game’s developer
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Well how about you give server tools to players and don’t kill the game off once it’s no longer profitable.

KickMeElmo,

Palworld has a dedicated server accessible through steam tools, no license required. I use it myself for my family’s instance. The game is still in early access as well, and small improvements keep rolling out.

@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Wow, that a first for a corporation to allow.

Normally they just kill off games and release a pointless sequel.

atocci,

Palworld isn’t exactly an indie game, but the developer, Pocketpair, is an independent and privately owned company.

ProjectPatatoe,

My biggest pause for getting on this is linux server support… but actually i just checked and it seems to have come out! Neat.

KickMeElmo,

Yup, I run it on my Linux laptop and use steam decks as clients.

Is it going to be like the other Analogue products that basically are RTM and they won’t ship for a year and then be out

I have fond memories of playing these, but dear god was Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy frustrating! There was another Infocom game, Trinity I think it was, where you needed to get some water or something like that, but you couldn’t put it in an empty boot, you had to have the bucket for it to work. Kind of like playing “guess the mind of the programmer.” Fun times, even so. And then there was Leather Goddesses of Phobos . . . 😊.

ID411,

Yeah - I think people do have slightly rose tinted spectacles.

They were engrossing, but sometimes obtuse - and parsing instructions was really frustrating.

Sam_Bass, do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

Been horsing around in rdr2 for the last couple years here. No real need to up it

brsrklf, do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

I sure do. A lot of it is Beat Saber, but it is quite a lot.

I’ll get a PS5 in like, 4 years. Maybe. If I find something I absolutely need on it.

Katana314, do games w Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden

Oh. I wouldn’t know - I have the Roguelike tag filtered out.

It’s extremely rare that the habit of constantly getting reset to ground zero for little mistakes gives me any sense of adventure.

Drummyralf,

I find that with the roguelikes where you upgrade in between runs, losing still feels like winning.

But to each their own of course.

Nikls94, do gaming w No one needs this cryptocurrency-powered Steam Deck competitor

Ah okay. So no refund or re-wind if my account gets hacked and someone spends all my money. Because you know that’s blockchain

Fenrisulfir, do astronomy w [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life

Nuhuh. I tried planning a trip a month ago and everything was sold out and airfare was astronomical. I’m gonna plan a trip for the Spanish one in 2026 a year early

Make sure you cross post to !solareclipse ( reddthat.com/c/solareclipse ). We can’t wait!

kalkulat, do astronomy w The US government seems serious about developing a lunar economy
@kalkulat@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, why not? It’s not like we have any other pressing issues to address. Let’s keep pouring 100s of billions into the right pockets and press on.

threelonmusketeers,

“Por que no los dos?”

Humanity can pursue multiple awesome endeavours simultaneously.

atzanteol,

NASA’s 2024 budget is around $25 billion.

By comparison Apple’s revenue for last quarter was around $120 billion.

KingThrillgore, do games w Dungeons & Dragons turns 50 this year, and there’s a lot planned for it
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

I doubt it after the WOTC layoffs. To celebrate, i’m going to study up on Pathfinder 2E.

@Rezbit@lemmy.world avatar

My group just tried Pf2e this past weekend, highly recommend! It’s so much better

Sidyctism, do gaming w Valve: Most games made with AI tools are now welcome on Steam

So we are moving from shovelware to excavatorware?

Honytawk,

No, we are just moving with the times.

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Valve: Most games made with AI tools are now welcome on Steam

Given how many companies have been embracing AI tools it was really only a matter of time until they were allowed on Steam. At least you'll know before hand if you're going into a game with AI-generated content.

ScruffyDucky, do games w CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024

I hear there is a job opening at Unity /s

Epicurus0319,

Please don’t give him any ideas

Knusper, do gaming w CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024

…and just like that, all of the issues and shitty work culture at Activision Blizzard disappeared and they lived happily ever after.

MJBrune,

Hey, why is that rug so lumpy? Like everything was just swept under it.
