t3rmit3, do gaming w wrist mounted games

There are tons of games that are playable on smartwatches. Apart from that, there are a lot of single watch-games from the past. McDonalds and BurgerKing have also had a lot of watches with games or toys, as well.

Tamagotchi watches came back in 2021, which is one great option.

There are a , but they can be pretty pricey.

sleepybisexual,

Ya, this search started withmye discovering the Tetris watch. Unfortunately j can’t justify spending that much. I have a pinetime. Will look into tamogatchi ones

The_Che_Banana,

Apparently Doom plays on anything

sleepybisexual,

Pinetime doom is a thing?

    The problem isn’t the people voluntarily participating in the world’s biggest grift losing money.

    The problem is the real world consequences for other people.

    MolochAlter,

    You realise this isn’t make believe at all, right? Stocks are ownership.

    If a stock dips low enough it’s possible to do what microsoft did with Activision Blizzard and buy out another company wholesale, for instance.

    Speculation on the stock market isn’t the reason the market exists, it’s a side effect of its pricing mechanisms, the actual point of it is to gather money for companies and gather stake for buyers.

    If a major company like Ubisoft keeps tanking, odds are you can look forward to another major buyout and merger which will make the already horribly oligopolistic game industry even smaller, which is not good for anyone involved.

    I think gaming in general have it hard now. There are millions of games and only a handful are best sellers.

    I feel the same about movies. So many, but just a few are worth watching because they are original.

    MolochAlter,

    That’s just generally all of media right now. We are at perhaps the highest level of accessibility for media creation we’ve ever been, but that means that any schmuck with a pair of thumbs and time to waste can make something.

    High accessibility means abysmal signal/noise ratio, turns out.

    TexasDrunk,

    It does. There are some upsides, though. One bonus is that, at least in some small ways, some of these shitbag companies that have acted terribly in the past are letting up because we have options. We don’t have to rely on a couple of big studios for every game we play. So EA has backed off of their terrible launcher.

    I also think it’s kind of cool that any schmuck can make their dream come true. I’ve definitely put out a bunch of music that I don’t market, just because I always wanted to do it. Anyone with an idea and a laptop can code up a game. The ridiculous amount of shovelware aside, I think that’s pretty cool.

    I just wish there was a better way to sift through the dreck to find the good stuff.

    MolochAlter,

    Yeah I mean, it’s got upsides and downsides, like everything. Unparalleled access means anyone can make something, which means a lot of things that have niche appeal can find their audience, etc.

    It also means a lot of things without any appeal will be out there.

    It’s not good or bad in itself but it can be impractical on the consumer side of the equation, and it makes even the remarkable stuff very likely to just disappear in the shuffle.

    half_built_pyramids,

    Except out doesn’t have to be that way. Bringing back anti monopoly regulation would prevent more consolidation.

    MolochAlter,

    Sure, but the stock is tanking now, and the regulations are not on the books.

    Like, I agree there needs to be an overhaul of a bunch of regulations regarding monopolies and such, but this doesn’t help analysing the current situation where they’re not in place.

    Investors seemed to be pushing for the company to go private, possibly for that reason.

    MolochAlter,

    That would be quite smart of them tbh.

    callouscomic,

    Yes, this is late game where it’s easy to max out before the end. I will say I liked the progression in game. You certainly have to work a bit to get there, but then it’s satisfying.

    In this game, players must arrange characters and scenes to complete story objectives presented at each level. The challenge lies in figuring out the right combination to achieve the desired outcome. storyteller rewards players for their creative thinking and ability to solve narrative puzzles, offering endless ways to approach storytelling.

    My parents used to get so mad at me for poaching the batteries from all the remotes.

    dharmacurious,

    My mom got so frustrated at how often I needed batteries for my walkman, my Gameboy, my other toys, and my little stereo I won at the library, that she replaced all of our batteries with a bunch of rechargeables she bought in bulk. All my friends were so jealous

    SturgiesYrFase,
    @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

    See…was the other way round for me. My mum had a crippling Tetris addiction when I was 7. So much so that I’d get home from school and every battery in the house would be dead. That year for Christmas all I asked for was batteries.
    To be clear, it was my Gameboy and my copy of Tetris…

    dharmacurious,

    You poor thing. I’m so sorry! That sounds genuinely terrible

    @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

    Hey, could’ve been worse. At least she was addicted to Tetris, not a raging alcoholic or addicted to meth or something.

    dharmacurious,

    Very true! Haha

    When I was around 22 or so, my mom won a free tablet from a contest online, and got this absolutely terrible android tablet, even by then current (2012) standards. But it did have angry birds. She played so much angry birds that it had noticable grooves in the plastic of the screen from aiming. Lol

    My dad (clean now!) decided to try crack at 40 and spent the next 15 years taking us on a wild ride of addiction and absolutely bullshit. I’d definitely take a game addiction over that. Lmao

    SturgiesYrFase,
    @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

    The slippery slope is when a game addiction turns into a gambling addiction.

    Glad to hear your dad’s clean. Hope everything is good for you ❤️

    dharmacurious,

    Yeah, me and mama both share a tendency towards that. I have to be very careful around gambling, so does she.

    And hey, thanks! Yeah, life is swell most days :) Hoping the same for you

    Fair enough, it’s important to know what your potential speed bumps are.

    Glad to hear that things are going good for you. On the whole, life’s pretty good for me too.

    Sounds positive. Not quite a BotW/TotK-banger, but I didn’t expect such a quirky concept to score big on the first outing. Only spotted one truly critical review in there, and even that was more “It’s a neat idea, but doesn’t truly pan out all that well”.

    Definitely getting this. Exciting!

    Używałem NextCloud i dawał radę na tyle, na ile NextCloud może dawać radę (ogólnie nie jestem jego fanem, bo mam wrażenie że to straszna kobyła i próbuje mieć wszystko co tylko się da, jednocześnie każdą funkcjonalność mając jako-tako po łebkach, ale no kalendarz nie był gorszy od reszty).

    ampersandrew, do games w Behaviour Interactive (Dead By Daylight devs) acquire Red Hook Studios (Darkest Dungeon devs)
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    Maybe it didn’t do as well as they’d hoped, but back of the napkin guesstimates sure make it hard to believe DD2 wasn’t profitable.

    Jaderick,

    I played it in alpha (?) when it first came out and it was alright. I played it for like 3 hours, but never felt a desire to revisit it.

    warm,

    Darkest Dungeon was just one of them titles that isn't that suited for a sequel.

    Whitebrow,

    I agree with the sentiment and it’s weird that it can be applied to quite a few recent games, frostpunk 2 comes to mind as the latest one of these

    warm,

    It's an attempt at piggybacking off the success of the first game, but they don't take the time to understand why it was successful and if a sequel is needed. I'd love to see devs try something new when they find success instead of just pumping out a number 2.

    mosiacmango,

    I read it more like they did well, but after a decade making the same game in a couple of iterations, they just want to be done. So sell the company, make 10x what you could running it, and just head on out.

    theangriestbird, do gaming w The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Review Thread

    From Keza McDonald’s review for the Guardian:

    The main difference between Link and Zelda is that Zelda can’t fight. Instead, with a magical staff, she can summon material “echoes” of real objects from thin air – which could be anything from a cut of meat to distract monsters, to crates and tables to construct towers and staircases. When you come across the usual Zelda selection of deceptively mild-looking monsters, you can simply conjure a spear-wielding Moblin or a few bats into existence to dispatch them for you. Or, failing that, you can manifest a pot and throw it at whatever’s menacing you.

    I did get used to Echoes of Wisdom’s new way of doing things as time went by – but I didn’t love it. There’s lots to like about it; particularly the painfully cute toylike aesthetic, which makes Hyrule feel a bit like like a giant Polly Pocket, and Zelda’s adorable horse. It’s a good game, and its mishmash of intersecting ideas does bring something new to Zelda. But I hope that the next time we play as Zelda, it feels more empowering.

    So it sounds like this is the type of game that appeals to sickos that liked playing summoner necro in Diablo 2 (i’m one of those sickos). Except obviously it works better than that bc the entire game is built around it.

    474D, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

    Do people really feel this strongly about the Sims? I thought it’s been irrelevant for like a decade

    HeartyOfGlass,

    It’s only been “irrelevant” because of the poor reception to Sims 4. The Sims was the first great “life sim” game, and the 3rd installment added a crazy amount of content. That’s all we wanted. More stuff to decorate with and places for our Sims to explore. Nah, Sims 4 took away the variety and added paywalls and multiplayer and was just generally a poor experience.

    For anyone holding out hope for #5, this is on par with Blizzard announcing their smartphone diablo game. EA killed this franchise, and yeah I’m a little sad about it.

    smokebuddy, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

    I watched the LGR Video then saw this and it looks bleak. EA promised to update the NHL series into the new Frostbite engine and all we got was the same game with the same glitches plus a bunch of new ones and longer load times. Even now like 4 years later it’s not worth playing, a total mess. A real shame Life By You got cancelled I had that on my wishlist and it looked almost finished…

    I still play Sims 3 with the entire pirate pack from time to time, guess the tradition will continue for now

    CCMan1701A,

    I stopped with the NHL updates back with NHL 99 even they were basically just roster updates over NHL 97
