Luanti (Minetest) folks.

The modding momentum is picking up quite a bit and as a game engine its far better than Minecraft.

Beautifully carved! Just to be certain though: This is about Outer Wilds - Echoes of the Eye, right?

Skua,

It is, yes! I think I should have simplified the hearthian's design more to make them clearer, but I'm pleased with it overall

Agent_Karyo, do games w Inside ARMSX2: Interviewing the Team Reviving PS2 Emulation on Android (my article!)

After some thinking, I decided to pursue a revival for PS2 emulation on Android devices. A little side note, I don’t use Android, I’ve been an iPhone user since I’d received my first phone, my intentions were for the community remaining in Aether, as well as the overall Android community given how AetherSX2 went down. I first tried by recruiting new developers but come to find out it’s not an easy task whatsoever. I did manage to recruit two developers to the initial project, but busy schedules and a lack of progress led to stagnation, so I put my ambitions on hold for the time being.

Interesting that one of the lead devs of a PS2 Android emulator uses an iPhone. Nothing wrong with that, just peculiar.

Fascinating read. Thanks. I wish them luck.

stray, do gaming w The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft

This thread title is inaccurate and misleading to people to unfamiliar with how Minecraft hosting works. Microsoft can’t shut down a private server. Even the OOP themself doesn’t phrase it that way in any of their posts about it.

PoolloverNathan,

Yes, they can — Minecraft consults a Microsoft-managed, dynamically updatable blocklist of server IPs, regardless of who owns the server. In addition, Minecraft has functionality to ban players from authenticating to any multiplayer server.

stray,

Microsoft does not have the ability to stop you from running a Minecraft server. They can block you from using their authentication server, but all you have to do is edit a setting to false and then even people with pirated copies can join the server.

PoolloverNathan,

This still doesn’t help if the server is on the server blocklist, which Microsoft can add your server to. Mods that disable the blocklist violate the EULA.

stray,

What part of the EULA would that violate? And why would that matter when the goal is to join an EULA-violating server in the first place?

That was a great interview, thanks for doing it! And I bet the devs enjoy getting to talk about this kind of thing. There are plenty of blog posts about what new features are coming out in open source projects, but very few interviews like this one.

It’s cool how everything right now is still (mostly) focused on translating x86 to ARM, but how we’re starting to hear talk about native ARM. I’m guessing that there won’t enough of a push for that, though, until Linux ARM PCs become more popular. I’m definitely looking forward to that.

thatKamGuy,

Beyond Android phones, it should also be good for the emulation scene on macOS.

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed this one. A few more are on the way, slowly. The team who make Decky Loader should be soon-ish. Also GameHub Lite (since emulating Steam games on Android is fascinating to me!), and a handful more planned.

Gives a strangely similar vibe to seeing the slide reels. Pretty cool!

Skua,

If I had a lot more patience it would be cool to try to recreate one of those slide reels as panels around the pumpkin

RebekahWSD, do games w "Beach Day" (Black Desert)
@RebekahWSD@lemmy.world avatar

I played Black Desert for a time.

First problem was I couldn’t buy it. My bank refused to let me buy it. I had to go in, say yes that is my attempt, then they preapproved a third attempt. I did tell them to block it after that though, so no microtransactions.

Second, wow classes were like locked to a single sex which is weird. But oh well.

Then very very grindy.

But! Heeey absolutely beautiful even on my old shit computer. Loved that. Also loved exploring!

Sunsofold, do games w "The King" (Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon)

Tried the demo a ways back. Seemed okay. Way more into the use of Gealdyr as soundtrack than the game itself, though.

Very cool!

randomname, do gaming w Can we talk about the Roblox situation?

back when I played Roblox as a kid it was a small, windows only Lego game. at a certain point the games on the platform because much higher quality (around 2015), and it was great for me as a broke kid who couldn’t afford a better PC or “real” games.

which is why I didn’t say anything when my little brother was asking my parents if he could play it. now I really wish I had because the entire platform is a cesspool of consumerism, gambling, and predators

This has right-wing snowflakes getting upset over Charlie Kirk comments all over it.

There are currently 3 things you cannot bring up or speak negatively about or it will end up being penalized and censored

Everything else is free speech.
