Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Where do I find game demakes?

I haven’t checked it out yet, but I saw someone had made a Lumines demake for the gba. Usually I end up finding out about them through forums and youtube

not_that_guy05, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?

Not related but an old memory.

Bought the game when it came out was around 12 y/o, and was so happy since my parents rarely got me games. Got home, told them I needed a card for online monthly payments… The game just sat there and picked up dust. Never got to play it.

Aha thats brutal. Thats why the MMOs should never have been numbered games! Final Fantasy: Online would have gotten the point across.

liam070,

I bought it at the time without realising you need an internet connection. Good times…

not_that_guy05,

Oh dialup days. There was the monthly AOL trials. Just had to keep waiting for them lol

I got my copy free when I bought my PS2 hard drive and never played it once.

I lost my best friend to that game. He got into playing it so much after high school that he basically stopped doing anything else. I’d call him to hang out and he’d ghost me to play the game instead. Eventually I gave up trying…

My friends now want me to get into FFXIV and I absolutely refuse.

Maxy, do gaming w Where do I find game demakes?

interested in females

Username checks out, though I’m assuming you meant “demakes”?

Anyways, the demake I’m most familiar with is the in-progress Lego island. The YouTuber behind it documented part of the process in vlogs (linked on the GitHub page), so that might be an interesting starting point.

Lol, worst autocorrect ever. XD

TachyonTele,

It fits so perfectly too. Females? Oh Celeste and op is bi.

Calling women demakes is a new one.
Holy crap, my autocorrect did it too! It changed demakes into females. Wtf

Kichae,

Look at the positions of d and k on the keyboard. _ema_es.

sleepybisexual,

And transfem, not sure if this accounts bio is updated tho

sleepybisexual,

Yea lol Whoever invented autocorrect should have every device that can run an autocorrect thrown at them

I hate to be nitpicky; but that’s a decompilation, not a demake.

‘Demake’ usually refers to a game that gets remade for a system older (or less powerful) than the one it was released for. A good current example is the in-progress Super Mario 64 demake for GBA.

‘Decompilation’ is where one reverse-engineers a game (or any software!) back to its original source code, or close enough that when you build it, it’s identical to an original copy. So, the goal of the Lego Island demake is to produce source code that can be built into a fully binary-compatible copy of Lego Island, indistinct from what’s on the original CD.

Feyter,

Thanks for being nitpicky, so I didn’t had to.

Maxy,

Oh I don’t mind the nitpicking, thanks for the explanation! I (apparently erroneously) thought “demake” and “decompile” were synonyms. Guess I’m one of today’s 10000.

In that case the (now taken down, but forked a gazillion times) portal64 project would be a correct example of a demake, right?

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Correct!

sleepybisexual,

Fucking autocorrect

Maxy,

didn’t know that was a part of bisexuality

I should probably flee before I get eaten by an army of blahåjar (apparently that’s the correct plural?)

sleepybisexual,

I’m not on linux, but I heard star citizen works and it’s running a free to play event right now until the 26th of May.

If you don’t like Easy Anti Cheat I would avoid it.

I don’t have a problem with anti cheats. I just hate the ones blocking Linux on purpose.

@Infynis@midwest.social avatar

Have you done Eureka? If you love Eureka, you’ll be fine. Otherwise, id recommend playing it separately on its own

Ashtear, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?

I’ve played all of the mainline games over the years, but my only experience with FFXI was a couple of hours of the beta. Tried the marathon as a set of replays several years back and only made it to the start of IX. The load times and the glacial pace of the battles was too much by that point. I think I was planning on skipping XI.

You could also try asking in !finalfantasy and !jrpg.

People frequently make demakes with pico-8

sleepybisexual,

Yea, should look into pico8

Found a nice romset yesterday, what games are good?

Been enjoying just one boss

Alan Wake 2 is probably the best looking game running on any system, it works on Linux via Proton

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government

This is honestly pretty funny. Even another government agency recognized how bad the response was. That was literally like someone asking how old you are, and you respond by telling them the definition of age.

PlasticExistence, do games w [QUESTION] What is the most realistic-looking game that can also run on Linux distros?

You can look for specific games on protondb.com to get a good idea of how they run.

I don’t chase high-end PC gaming anywhere near enough to name a single game that is known for realism.

Essence_of_Meh, do games w UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government

That’s positively surprising, I expected them to leave it at that until petition reaches the second milestone (if that even happens). Let’s see if anything new comes out of this.

Ibaudia, do games w WTF is wrong with Killing Floor 2?
@Ibaudia@lemmy.world avatar

I tried KF2 for a while and really couldn’t get into it. The game just lacks replayability in my opinion. Trying different perks, maps, difficulties, etc. really didn’t resonate with me because I felt like I was doing basically the same thing, just kiting around enemies in a predictable loop. There was a serious absence of memorable moments, unlike with other horde shooters like l4d and even b4b. Sunk a few dozen hours into it and it kinda feels like a waste in hindsight, never really enjoyed it and spent the whole time trying to.

Well yes, it always was multi-player co-op horde shooter?
