AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #22

With a little delay (sorry, life kept me busy enough so I couldn’t read this before), I just finished reading. I gotta say this was a rollercoaster.

I love the news parts, as always, since you manage to get a whole week of news compressed in a single article (and without the clickbait ads) that feels fresh and nice to read.

But knowing the kind of ordeal you are dealing with is heartbreaking. First and foremost, your health comes first. If you need to take a pause from this, you don’t have to apologize, it’s the right thing to do so go ahead and do it. I’m really sorry to hear about all you are going through, I hope you get to feel better soon!! Best wishes from an user who is clearly human!

Cool! I want to look into their work. This seems like something my kid should also know about.

Surprised at how young they started on this journey.

If you ever want to play a 2d metroidvania version of silent hill + rule of rose step right up!

Probably some of the most fun I’ve had in a survival horror in ages!

neon_nova,

Thanks! I’ll check that out.

I had no idea that existed but that looks absolutely fantastic. It’ll wishlist that one for certain.

I have played a Java version of Resident Evil 1 which is top-down but plays mostly the same, except the combat is turn-based. You don’t go to an environment for battles, the actual walking and shooting happens in the main game, I really enjoyed it back then

neon_nova,

I’ve never heard of this. It sounds really interesting.

Legendsofanus,

Most console games back in the day had a Java port one way or another. Assassin’s Creed upto III were there and the III version even had naval combat. There was a Bioshock port in which you could basically do all you can in the game, combat and hacking minigames and powerups were similar. We had Doom RPG and Doom 2 RPG, I loved that one particularly because for me it introduced me to Doom with a lot of story and cutscenes, the gameplay was really fun too. God of War has a canon java game lmao

Anyway, about RE1 I think it even preserved all of the puzzles! I don’t think I ever beat it but did play a ton of it. It had a layer of strategy because if you shoot the zombie and it doesn’t die then it will get closer to you when the zombie’s turn comes so you had to plan battles out in a way

Yaoling is spectacular. Monster taming RPG (think pokemon) with autobattle mechanics.

Already up to 767K. It’s within reach.

I don’t live in the EU, but I’m keeping an eye on it. Fingers crossed!

Yesterday we saw the biggest increase in signatures in a single day, even compared to the start of the initiative.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Unfortunately, some signatures will be invalidated because people make mistakes or are assholes so it’s best to aim for 120%.

knokelmaat,

You mean 811K ;). At this rate it will only take a few more days!

princessnorah,

904k now!

For those who wonder, yes, this is OK according to the community rule 6.
Talking about piracy is OK. What is forbidden is directly linking to it. Mainly for legal reason, not because we condemn it.

Nonetheless, OP asked for permission beforehand, which is nice. Authorization was of course given.

Would you consider writing some of this stuff for Wikinews (the Wikimedia Foundation project, not to be confused with Wikileaks)?

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

It’s just…going to seem selfish of me, because it’s a lovely initiative…but reformatting, citing and posting elsewhere just adds to the ‘work’ of this. I like to contribute to the open-source, community-driven Lemmy world, it makes me feel happy that there’s a space like this around.

But, that said, if you wanted to add it, by all means please do! I’ve zero objections. I just have too much on my plate right now to even consider it!

Thanks for the idea though, it’s nice to see another space where the community writes, cites, edits and posts their own work to be hosted :)

Aatube,

Thanks! I'm new to Wikinews too but my impression is that the only thing you need to cite an interview is files of the medium over which the medium was conducted: audio for calls, logs for chats, email threads for... emails, etc. (The parts that aren't part of the interview's conversation do need to be sourced, though Wikinews doesn't appear to do inline citations.) So I would need that to post this on Wikinews. (assuming they allow such non–"first-hand" content in the first place, which I think they should but can't find anything about lol)

Making games available to people that cannot pay is still a win for Nintendo… Nintendo gets money from selling consoles, games (sold in the traditional market) and cultural influence. We just had the movie “Mario Brothers” and it was a hit. The movie sells toys thus bringing more revenue to the company.

In the end, the DMCA strikes cost Nintendo’s money with little return.

Aatube,

Honestly "cultural influence" kinda sounds like "you get paid with exposure".

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein,

Yes, but it’s legitimately different when you are a huge company versus a struggling artist. A company like Nintendo has the capital and staying power already to reap generational rewards from embedding their IP into a culture.

@PerfectDark nice.

Oh thank God.

I was picturing the community sharpening their pitchforks for this kind of sensitive topic!

(Glad you enjoyed it!)
