To me if it’s a new release of a game…of course it should be shared! The first person to post it (preferably with their own views on the game coming written underneath) keeps the community up-to-date with what games look like. Trailer ‘dumping’ really only happens when there’s a big event, and the point of that event is seeing trailers for games. It makes sense to have them shared here.
But posts sharing the same trailer after that first? Removed.
I don’t think of it as ad spam, because it’s not like Rockstar is making a Lemmy account to make sure we see the GTA VI trailer. If we denied trailers being posted, there’d be some very angry Silksong people when that one got the trailer!
Should they be consolidated into one post then? It’s just bothersome to see a bunch of ads (because let’s be real, trailers are ad material) dumped in quick succession. The only ones I’d watch are for games I’m interested in playing, but for the ones I really want to play, I’d rather go in mostly blind so I won’t watch those either.
It’s not just one trailer, either, it’s announcement, release date, “now on steam”, cinematic trailer, gameplay trailer, release announcement trailer.
That’s indeed what we asked to do next time for big events. But when no such big event occurs, it’s OK.
In my opinion, the following trailers are acceptable :
Announcement of a new game -> so we can start talking about that game
Announcement of end of early access or of game release (like Hades 2 recently) -> So we can talk about the game at its release state
Major update of updates of a game (as soon as it isn’t too often) -> So we can discuss how that specific update make that game evolve, for better or worse. I’d honestly still prefer those one to be kept to their dedicated communities, but one from time to time won’t kill anyone.
Globally, that’s also a way to advertise dedicated communities for that specific game, so I think that’s alright.
We’ll discuss all of this with the incoming community rules update.
Okay so before 2 or so months back, I worked as a pen-tester (red team), so when I wasn’t breaking in to facilities, or convincing security guards that I was the CEO’s daughter or a worker who forgot their pass, I was typically on my desktop. Which left me some time to spend contributing to spaces like this community on Lemmy!
Since then though I had a bit of a health hiccup, and took time off. I’m still taking time off, and while I’m being as active as I can, I’m now with quite a bit of time to spend doing things like this, or writing the odd feat. article/interview and sharing it on my friend’s site - so maybe I’m lucky, in one regard?!
Right now I’m playing Red Dead on my Switch OLED, and Deus Ex Mankind Divided on my Steam Deck :)
My apologies. Maybe I should copy and paste more info from the link I mentioned at the top that includes more details lemmy.world/post/35749413 but I’ll try to rephrase it to make it more convenient for people. Just a sample of the plans anyways to see what type of response I’d get, and working on the next organizational stages of the plans now. Edit: Updated, but will still try to come back later to edit more.
It’s actually pretty easy to get working on PC (in 60fps) these days with emulation. Like you get the emulator, and it literally has an option to connect to the bloodborne 60fps rom hack repository within the emulator itself.
Haven’t tried it on Steam Deck specifically, but it worked surprisingly well on my laptop when I tested it out several months back.
Don’t have the link off hand but it’s not hard to find. I could probably find the link if someone really wants it and can’t find it themselves.
EDIT: not sure if counts, but I did a good portion of my BB playthrough on my Deck, streaming from my PS5.
