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.

I think we could have done a lot of things a lot better.

No shit, Sherlock. Not fucking over your client-base, for one. One would think he’s not fit to be CEO of cow shit after this douche was previously in charge of EA during some of the worst years of that company.

There are alternatives to Unity. Time to move on if possible.

They did too much damage already. They’ve lost all developer trust, and deserve to crash and burn for this

Nioxic, do gaming w Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers

My kid got a pc. I installed linux on it.

I installed the exact same distro on my pc, as well as the same software, so i can attempt yo troubleshoot if needed.

So far its been rock solid. It runs pretty well too, despite it being an i5 4570

Flickerby, do games w Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic

One of my favorite trophies to get was the no kill run on the first dishonored. A lot of fun finding all the different ways to be a ghost. Though I wish they had more stealth magic, most of the stuff was combat based if I remember correctly

ABetterTomorrow, do games w Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic

So good, story isn’t bad and didn’t really follow. The gameplay was unique and fun.

brucethemoose, (edited ) do gaming w Reports: EA set to be sold to private investors for up to $50 billion - Ars Technica

Hear me out:

  • Split Fiction and everything from Hazelight is fantastic.

…That’s about it.

I guess churning stuff out like F1 or Sims DLC every year isn’t particularly offensive, and they didn’t mess up ME LE too bad. And they have a history of some neat originals.

What I’m saying is EA isn’t really the mega villain anymore. And maybe the longer-term horizon allowed by going private will help?

squaresinger, do games w Why, as a responsible adult, SimCity 2000 hits differently

Coming back to SimCity 2000 today, I find it much harder to callously play with the lives of my virtual citizens. The years I’ve spent as a homeowner, parent, and city-dwelling adult make me at least pause before I willingly inflict that kind of pain on my tiny subjects.

I can totally understand that feeling! I played a fair bit of Cities Skylines. To unlock all buildings you have to inflict quite a lot of chaos to your citicens, e.g. garbage needs to pile up like crazy or crime needs to be really high.

It was almost painful to unlock these buildings.

jordanlund, do games w Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

You can’t compare current generations to previous because starting with the PS3/Xbox 360 the generations became artificially extended.

With no no new impending hardware, there’s no impetus to reduce prices and clear stock.

The OG Xbox 360 launched with a 20 GB hard drive (2005). That got a price cut when the 60 GB version was announced (2008) and that coincided with the much more expensive “Elite” with 120 GB. Similarly that had a price cut when the 250 GB version came out in 2009.

We aren’t currently seeing models be replaced like this.

I remember I had a super low Kali number.

Grilipper54,

Descent 3 using Kali was my first online game experience. What a crazy time that was.

ModernRisk, do games w Why console makers can legally brick your game console

I will just not purchase an console anymore, don’t need one anyway due to have a good PC.

teawrecks, do gaming w Nintendo warns that it can brick Switch consoles if it detects hacking, piracy

Easy fix

WillowBe, do gaming w Is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion still fun for a first-time player in 2025?
@WillowBe@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I just started playing this remaster, and only played to Skyrim before. And I really love this title! I feels the same waves than when I was on Skyrim. I think this release is the best occasion for newcommers and younger players
