I don’t hate the idea of exclusive games because they kind of bring more competitions. But I also couldn’t give too much fucks because Ubisoft games suck anyway.

Ubisoft make it pretty easy for me. I don’t have to worry about any of this, because none of their recent titles have been worth spending your money, let alone time on

This is my take as well. The last Ubisoft game I enjoyed was Black Flag. It’s a shame because in the early 2000s they were great, but now they’re just churning out yearly sequels to turn Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry into Call of Duty.

well also you might wanna look into pirating their titles (even if you do 'own' them), as they have made it clear they dont want you to have any control over the games you buy, like access to them in the future. So say the epic steam thing goes belly up, epic closes, ubi will not see a reason to give you access on their service or steam if they move their games there.

That was certainly entertaining to watch :D

I guess my ideal gaming community would be a good balance of Srs Gaming Industry News and silly memes/idle chatter, without veering too hard in either direction. /r/games and /r/gaming are neither of them much fun, precisely because of the split.

I vote to keep the leftwing propaganda as a regular feature, so long as it’s gaming-themed. It’d irritate the crap out of that one guy, while also helping ward off the whole toxic-gamer-community thing a bit, and give this place its own unique vibe.

Wait for year or two. It sucks.

Logitech Lift user here. No problems for productivity and gaming over the past year of use!

The Lift is nearly twice as heavy as the MX according to the specs on Amazon. Do you find it too heavy?

memo,
@memo@feddit.it avatar

Check official specs on the Logitech website, not Amazon: that sometimes weights the whole package, sometimes it doesn’t. The Lift is supposed to be lighter and smaller than the MX!

@cloudless@feddit.uk avatar

Thanks. It is actually for my wife. She finds the MX too big for her hand, so she is considering to replace it with the Lift.

@memo@feddit.it avatar

I actually just bought a second hand Lift, waiting for it to arrive. My hands are medium sized and I always used a modest size mouse, the Logitech G305, with ease.

CubitOom,

I’m also using the lift. Although I don’t do too many shooters, it did get me through cyberpunk 2077, elden ring, and armored core VI very well.

I’ll also note that I have had no issues with Linux drivers on Arch.

troyunrau, do gaming w What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time?
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

Don’t get me wrong, I also like TotK and BG3 and just replayed Outer Worlds (Fallout in spaaaace) and love me some “mainstream” games. But I think people unfairly exclude many genres when making these sorts of lists. E.g.: The Sims, Civ5, Minecraft, Pokemon, and many others that sold like hotcakes and have been extremely good games.

Personally, I’m always biased towards 4X, RTS, and similar, and find it strange they’re always overlooked. Europa Universalis 4 is ten years old and still getting DLC and updates – how many people must have played that game over ten years for the studio to justify that continued investment?

It’s hard to understate the effect Minecraft has had on me.

It got me into programming and modding games. It is such a treasure to me.

t3rmit3,

Strategy games are never featured outside maybe a grudging nod to StarCraft or Warcraft 3. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a list that mentions a 4X, a sim, or a non-Blizzard RTS. The closest you’ll usually see is someone listing Black & White.

Game journalists have to bounce between games as a job, so it sort of makes sense that the majority of them go for linear, shorter RPGs, and thus over-fixate on them.

DdCno1,

I think the actual reason is that they only have a limited presence on consoles, which is what the majority of the English-speaking discourse on games is focused on. The genre also fizzled out in the early 2000s, which doesn’t help.

t3rmit3,

Even on PC-focused publications like PCG, this same trend holds true.

And RTS may have fizzled out, but strategy did not. XCOM2, Stellaris, Crusader Kings, etc, all big recent-ish games.

Animal Crossing on the GameCube straight up let you buy little NES consoles with a small variety of titles.

otp,

Does it actually let you buy them? I thought they were mostly locked away behind special event codes, or even dummied out.

tacosanonymous,
@tacosanonymous@lemm.ee avatar

Really basic ones can be dug up or purchased. You did have to get event codes for some cooler ones.

otp,

TIL, thanks!

TwilightVulpine,

I also loved that they added some minigames from Amiibo Festival into New Leaf on the 3DS: Puzzle League and Desert Island Escape

Glad you’re enjoying the CRPG. There’s plenty of older stuff that’s great in that vein too, one of my favorite older CRPGs that has a great story is Planescape: Torment.

fleg, do zapytajszmer w Ktoś ma PinePhone'a i jest w stanie powiedzieć, jak się sprawuje, co nie działa itp.?

Ja mam. Nie używałbym go jako telefonu codziennego użytku.

  • Generalne dzwonienie, SMSowanie itp działa.
  • Nie zaufałbym, że ustawiając budzik na 7 rano ten budzik naprawdę zadzwoni.
  • Aparat z przodu działa źle. Ten z tyłu kojarzy się bardziej z komórkami z ~2010 niż produktem współczesnym.
  • Soft jest bardzo często zwyczajnie niedopracowany.
    • Phosh działa powoli. GTK nie przejmuje się zbytnio wolniejszymi urządzeniami i to widać, chociaż GTK4 trochę się pod tym względem poprawił,
    • Plasma jest spoko, ale jest dość dużo ostrych krawędzi,
    • Najlepiej chyba sprawował się SXMO, ale czy podejście w stylu pisania SMSów w VIMie jest dla Ciebie akceptowalne to już Twoja decyzja. Jest lepiej niż brzmi (przykładowo, VIM ma małe uruchamiane gestem menu z najczęstszymi komendami, więc nie trzeba latać po klawiaturze i szukać <ESC>, :wq i <ENTER>, tylko się to w miarę komfortowo wyciąga z menu).
    • Szokująco dobrze sprawowało się Ubuntu Touch, ale ono również na PinePhone było niedopracowane. Nie pamiętam aktualnie, co tam nie działało, ale długo nie wytrzymałem.
  • Sprzętowe wykonanie jest takie, że raczej trzymam ten telefon w szufladzie a nie chodzę z nim w kieszeni. Mi się nic jeszcze nie stało, ale słyszałem od znajomych o poodklejanych wyświetlaczach itp.

Ogólnie uwielbiam ten telefon, i ani chwili nie żałuję, że go kupiłem. Ale traktuję go bardziej jako płytkę deweloperską w kształcie telefonu niż zamiennik Androida.

Tak bardzo czekam na wersję konsumencką…

fleg,

Moim zdaniem problem leży głównie w niedorobionym sofcie. Jak to się unormuje (a postęp jest, z roku na rok widzę, że wygląda to naprawdę coraz lepiej), to będzie całkiem fajnie.

harcesz,
!deleted269 avatar

Czekam, czekam… od czasów OpenMoko. Ale też każdy kolejny taki projekt zwiększa szansę, że faktycznie powstanie konsumenckie urządzenie, nad którym kontrolę będą miały osoby, w których rękach się znajdzie…

fleg,

Pamiętam OpenMoko, i mam wrażenie, że tym razem nabrało to trochę więcej rozpędu - również dzięki projektom takim, jak Droidian czy postmarketOS, które usuwają konieczność posiadania typowego linuksiarskiego telefonu, a dodają kompatybilność z ogromem gruzu, który wiele osób ma w szufladach.

Wiadomo, nie jest to tak fajne jak wsparcie dla urządzenia w mainline kernela, ale jak się nie ma, co się lubi…

@leanleft@lemmy.ml avatar

this service claims:

“Ad based search engines make almost $300 a year off their users.

Google generated $76 billion in US ad revenue in 2023. Google had 274 million unique visitors in the US as of February 2023.

To estimate the revenue per user, we can divide the 2023 US ad revenue by the 2023 number of users: $76 billion / 274 million = $277 revenue per user in the US or $23 USD per month, on average! That means there is someone, somewhere, a third party and a complete stranger, an advertiser, paying $23 per month for your searches.”

Would that factor in the [unknown] costs of that revenue? Running all the servers (incl youtube), offices and staff aint cheap. So more likely some is paying enough to leave 23USD on top of massive costs.
