Beyond Good and Evil 2.

I’m not even mad that we didn’t get the multiplanetary open world new-tech live-experience cooperative second coming. I’m mad we didn’t even get a simple, short singleplayer experience living off of the charm of the first one.

ObviouslyASquid,

BGE2 was not cancelled though, it’s still in active development

Katana314,

That’s the thing though; it has most definitely entered Duke Nukem Forever / No Man’s Sky levels of development hell wherein the result will never be satisfying. The best we can hope for is a Halo Infinite result where it’s “kinda fun” but inevitably comes nowhere near the hype.

ObviouslyASquid,

Yeah, you’re probably right on that

Unreal Tournament series

UE4 movement was buttery smooth

3dmvr,

I really am dissapointed in current gaming, thought wed have a game in each genre that supported custom content, like ue would let ppl make their own maps/weapons, etc. everquest landmark for mmo worlds, etc.

3dmvr,

maybe with desktop tools being so fleshed out well see better in game tools for creation, tho now I use blender and want more games to support mods and custom content.

abigscaryhobo,

Garry’s mod/source games is about the closest we have to that. Or i guess Roblox too…?

3dmvr,

s@ndbox but it really depends how it goes, they are leaning more towards being a game engine than something like gmod where you can bring stuff over from one world to another, like scifi element hoverboards, etc. to a fantasy world and vice versa.

Na studia bym na Twoim miejscu nie liczył, dziś można bez nich swobodnie pracować w IT, kiedy już dostanie się pracę.

Niestety podobno rynek się kurczy, a do tego jest to środowisko pełne libków, gdzie zdrowie psychiczne jest wystawione na szwank. Potem napiszę więcej.

Branża IT moim zdaniem jest trudna, ale w sensie moralnym czy tam etycznym. Najłatwiej pewnie dostać pracę w dużej firmie, więc do wyboru w moim mieście są banki, Amazon, software-house’y robiące dla banków i okazjonalnie firma z jakiejś “normalnej” branży, jak logistyka/transport. Wszystko to jest… W najlepszym razie ponure.

Honestly, I kind of miss the idea of what “Life By You” could’ve been, as it had the game designer for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 behind it. That game could’ve been a return to form and an actual threat to EA’s watered down and extremely pricey Sims Slop. If only the team Rod Humble had assembled were able to gel their concept into a reality, with Paradox’s backing, could’ve created something magical. Alas, it was not to be…I still imagine the potential for player driven storytelling that Life By You was offering!

Nibodhika,

This one gets me as well, Paradox had a great history of maintaining and upgrading the base game with money made from DLCs, some of which are content/feature related and others are way cheaper and are cosmetics, all of that while providing mod support. And that model would have been awesome in a sims like game.

LostWanderer,

It would’ve been interesting, given that Rod Humble wanted to create a fully fleshed out base game…The DLC for Life By You likely would’ve been merely outfits, additional hairs made post launch, and possibly furniture/architecture style sets that could be priced at a reasonable rate. Meaning more players would’ve bought it and those funds would be reinvested in the game for more work to be done! The mod support would’ve been nice for those that want it; I often don’t care for mods (Prepare Carefully, for Rimworld is one of the few that I adore). This situation is truly vexing because the Life Sim scene needs a well funded direct competitor to The Sims that isn’t afraid to make a coherent and interesting Simulation game; one that is built with an engine that actual works and in-depth gameplay! The loss of Life By You will irk me for years to come.

Stamau123,

at least there’s Inzoi, from what little i’ve seen it seems like a good sims game

LostWanderer,

I lost hope for that game because they use GenAI to power to create a character, clothing, furniture color/pattern customization. I won’t play a game that utilizes GenAI, as base requirements are increased, GenAI is a security hazard, and it has a damaging effect on the environment. The fact that InZOI requires a constant internet connection as well due to the game’s reliance on GenAI.

Stamau123,

it’s not like it’s some chatGPT plagerism factory, it has an AI to generate new assets based on the art already made by the devlopers, to cut down on time. But always online is lame.

LostWanderer,

GenAI is the line in the sand for me, as that is merely a step towards pushing creatives out of creative fields. While Krafton C-Suite executives may say they get their data directly from preexisting data from devs; I’m not particularly trusting of those who implement GenAI in their games.

I’m going to focus on Paralives and Vivaland as those seem more interesting in my opinion.

Oh, your Stick is drifting? No problem, send it in.

What? You don’t want to wait? Sure, in that case here’s a manual to easily fix it yourself.

Dettweiler42,

Bluetooth controller drifting? Here, you can adjust the deadzone yourself and get realtime feedback to make it easier.

Melonpoly,

That or you can just buy a controller that doesn’t cheap out on the joysticks for less than what any of the main console companies are charging.

Dettweiler42,

So far, I get about 6-8 years out of whatever generation PlayStation controller I get. PS3 controller battery eventually crapped out. PS4 controller got pretty bad stick drift.

Tried an Xbox 360 controller once, it got stick drift after only a year.

ExtantHuman,

My original 360 controllers are still working in pristine condition.

Cethin,

Amy recommendations? I’ve been considering getting a new controller, but I use one so rarely. For the longest time I’ve used I think an ancient PS3 controller, or my old Steam Controller (which is great for some things but sucks for others).

Melonpoly,

I personally use a 8bit-do controller because of its hall affect sticks

sp3ctr4l,

Or, get some third party Hall Effect sticks, and have an enjoyable afternoon or evening of tinkering.

No soldering required!

Kecessa,

No soldering on the switch either though and Hall effect joysticks are a thing for it as well

gamermanh,

I havent bothered to try taking mine apart:

Does Nintendo still insist on using the triangle screws nobody sells? Like cuntsm

Kecessa,

Yep, but the kit includes the screwdriver

dangrousperson, (edited )

While technically true, you will lose the capacitive touch functionality of the sticks (the steam deck knows when your thumbs are touching the sticks) unless you desolder the old thumb caps and resolder them on the new sticks.

Edit: You’re right. It appears newer Hall Effect Sticks for the Steam Deck come with the capacitive caps pre soldered, while the OG Gulikit Sensors required desoldering the original caps and resoldering them on the replacement board. That being said, it was super easy to do, even for my butterfingers that last touched a soldering iron in highschool more than 15 years ago.

sp3ctr4l, (edited )

I have heard about that being a thing, and honestly I would have no problem getting a small soldering kit and learning how to solder…

handhelddiy.com/…/steam-deck-oled-tighter-hall-jo…

www.amazon.com/…/B0D2P24S9P

So these are for the OLED, which has a very slightly different internal board layout than the LED…

But both of these say they are pre-soldered, no soldering required, and they still have capacitive touch working.

… Am I missing something?

EDIT: These seem to be basically self contained, All in One, small board, stick/base and thumbcap units.

Maybe earlier 3rd party Hall Effect sticks were… not so comprehensive, and required the soldering?

Or maybe I am confused?

dangrousperson,

With those you don’t need to solder, they come with the caps themselves.

When I did my swap (OG Deck), I couldn’t find any Gulikits that came with the caps and I bought https://nwzimg.wezhan.net/contents/sitefiles3604/18023503/images/6065944.jpgwww.gulikit.com/productinfo/854122.html

Which don’t come with any caps and required soldering. Nice that there are now options that don’t require it.

sp3ctr4l,

Ah ok, so you were even earlier to the Deck modding scene than me, and it has evolved toward being even easier since.

Whew!

I appreciate your pointing this out and explanation, I wouldn’t want to have been unintentionally spreading misinfo.

… Nor would I have wanted to get my own Hall Effect ‘no soldering’ kit and then learned… actually there still is soldering in some other step or on some other component, that the ‘no soldering’ kits actually just mean ‘less soldering’.

dangrousperson,

The Deck is great to mod.

I really wanted one of those transparent Atomic Purple shells for mine. Then thought, might as well swap the sticks since it’s already opened up.

Well the transfer into the new shell requires complete disassembly, which was quite bit more involved then I anticipated. The screen is glued to the top half of the shell. Getting a bit impatient, I shattered my screen as I was trying to pry it off. You need to heat the adhesive and remove the screen before it cools. I had done a couple of phone screen repairs in the past, and let me tell you, they use a lot less adhesive and because they are so small, you’ll easily be able to pop it off before the adhesive starts becoming super sticky again. Not so much with the Steam Deck.

Well, the Deck HD (1200p) screen was only like 10€ more than an OEM replacement, so I might as well. (I quite like it, much sharper and more vibrant than the original and FSR can still give you good results in games that can’t hit the resolution, but the battery life did take a small hit).

Long story short, I love my Atomic Purple Steam Deck HD with Hall Effect Sticks, where one cosmetic mod led me to do two hardware upgrades. I don’t regret it, but I doubt I would do it again. I just love how much you can do it.

Co sądzisz o połączeniu studia plus praca? Same studia to lipa totalna aktualnie. CHYBA ŻE studiujesz medycynę, prawo i inne bardzo wymagające studia. Też druga opcja to studia i praktyki na wakajki. I masz może jakieś przedmioty, które mógłbyś przepisać na tę infę np. z matmy?
Poza tym, co do kierunku, nie musisz studiować samej infy, tylko np. coś pokrewnego np. informatyka w biznesie czy inne pierdy. Jak chcesz mieć te studia, to: <p>1. Zastanów się, na ile procent jesteś w stanie napisać maturę. <p>2. Poszukaj uniwerków, które się interesują i rozważ: studia stacjonarne vs. zaoczne. Jak zaoczne, to trzeba płacić, ale możesz pracować. Sama informatyka vs. informatyka jakaś tam albo w czymś tam. <p>3. W jakich miastach są te uniwerki? Ile kosztuje życie? Czy akademiki są przystępne cenowo albo czy łatwo znaleźć pokój do wynajęcia? <p>4. Przeanalizuj sobie też dokładnie sylabusy studiów. <p>5. Jeśli możesz sobie pozwolić na studia i pracę, to zastanów się, czy masz jakieś zabezpieczenie, w razie gdybyś doświadczał braku sensu studiów / chęci rezygnacji. Spoko pomysłem jest powtarzanie sobie jak mantra, po co to robisz. <p>6. Studia pozwalają zdobyć znajomości, rowniezprzez targi pracy. Popatrz, czy uczelnia oferuje jakieś koła naukowe, wsparcie itd. Poczytaj opinie o uczelniach. Napisz posta na mediach społecznościowych uczelni i zapytaj ludzi o opinie o danym kierunku. <p> POWODZENIA. Na pewno to ogarniesz. <p> PS. Doradca zawodowy też spoko pomysł. Mnie akurat wszyscy irytowali, ale taki porządny doradca, któremu się płaci, pewnie znacznie bardziej pomoże niż taki “ze szkoły” czy coś. <p> To są tylko moje własne obserwacje, ale może to będzie jakaś wskazówka.

Still keep hoping for a private server. That game ruined other mmos for me.

wildstar came out??

MrScottyTay,

Yeah it was out for a year or two and went free to play for another before being shut down

samus12345,

If an online only game comes out and is shut down sooner than the developer intended, it’s accurate to say it’s been cancelled.

MrScottyTay,

Shut down is the correct term. A cancelled game is a game that never released. No need to muddy that definition.

samus12345,

To cancel something is to no longer do something at a future date. If the game was originally planned to exist in a year but no longer does, that meets the definition of cancelled. The OP question is strangely worded - how can you miss a game you were never able to play?
