dino, do gaming w #StopKillingGames Update: Germany becomes 4th county to hit threshold

I don’t understand this bullshit, if developers/publishers drop their games, just stop investing time into their games or buying from them. How could you force private companies to invest into something which gives zero return?

B0rax,

The point is not to force them to invest into it, but to open them up if they don’t want to support them anymore.

dino,

“open them up”? make them open source or what? thats ridicolous

B0rax,

No. Remove the need for a server that the company provides for example.

Why is that ridiculous? Seems like a totally fine solution to me. Probably not possible in most cases due to licencing issues, but if not this is the best thing a developer could do. And making games and/or their servers open source isn’t even the only option. In most cases it will suffice to just provide server binaries and patch the game to make it work with self-hosted servers, or just patch it to make it playable offline. It’s that simple. Developing games with that in mind from the beginning makes this even easier.

They’ve got options.

  • never build in forced server components to begin with
  • patch out the need for the server as part of the last update before support ends
  • give buyers access to run their own servers with an officially-provided executable and set the client to connect to that executable
  • open source the whole thing

And maybe others. It’s about making sure that a product you have paid for actually works as it was sold to you. It’s honestly a really basic consumer protection concept. You sell me a television and it stops working within a reasonable lifetime due to your own failure, and you’re obligated to repair or replace it. The same should be true of software.

dino,

Lol, yea exactly. Thats why electornic devices stop working after their guarantee runs out 80% of the time… ;)

awesome_lowlander,

There’s like 2 FAQs linked by OP, you could have looked at them…

NigelFrobisher, do gaming w best GBA games? I need recommendations

Dark Conflict/Days Of Ruin

sleepybisexual,

What genre are they?

NigelFrobisher,

Advance Wars

Oki :3

intensely_human, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Sea of Thieves.

My recommendation for two people is a Brigantine, just for challenge.

You’ll fight better in a Sloop, but a Brigantine is more fun to operate for two people.

Sunny, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Since you mentioned Vintage Story I’m gonna go ahead and praise that suggestion. A game truly worth supporting! Developed by only two people, with a huge dedication. Game has a lovely community too. Definitely give it a shot 👌

UNY0N, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Outward is made to be played by two players. It’s a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.

fleg, do zapytajszmer w Dekoder DVB-T2 sam zmienia rozdzielczość

Tak z kapelusza zgadywałbym:

  • zaniki prądu które resetują ustawienia dekodera,
  • telewizor czasami łapie zmułę, nie przedstawia się po HDMI odpowiednio szybko, więc dekoder schodzi najniżej jak umie żeby nie odciąć użytkownika od urządzenia

ale no, to jest zgadywanka, bo nigdy się z czymś takim nie spotkałem.

Zaniki prądu mogłyby i coś takiego powodować faktycznie, ale inne ustawienia się nie resetują (kolejność kanałów, godzina, napisy)

montar_,

Kolejność kanałów i napisy prawie napewno są przechowywane w pamięci stałej, do godziny zazwyczaj jest osobny chip zazwyczaj z własną bateryjką, a rozdzielczość tv może nie być przechowywana w stałejq. Proponuję połączyć dekoder na jakiś czas do innego najlepiej dość nowego tv (albo monitora komputerowego) i zobaczyć czy to się dalej dzieje, jak tak to odpadają “zmuły” telewizora.

Most of these have been mentioned before, but I’ll mention them again.

Halo Master Chief Collection. Everything before 5 is local split screen. 5 requires two Xboxs. I would just avoid Infinite, but I believe it also requires two systems, maybe including PC.

Diablo 3 is very accessible. 4 should be as well. I’m told Diablo 2 is the best, so I need to try to get back into it. All should be good options.

Monster Hunter requires more patience. At least for World, cooperation is good but really the game is geared towards individuals being able to take charge as necessary. Track, set traps, bait, capture, etc. Multiplayer is VERY useful during fights though.

Stranger of Paradise is kinda Souls-like but more forgiving. In my experience it’s A LOT more friendly to Multiplayer. It’s also a ton of fun with a friend.

Psi-Ops: Mindgate Conspiracy. An old PS2 game. One person controls the body, the other controls the mind. Especially if you have a Gameshark and you can go Godmode.

Any of the old Street sports games were a blast back in the day.

Older Twisted Metal for another old-school recommendation.

PunchingWood, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

For crafting/exploration/survival I’d recommend Valheim. Don’t judge it by its looks, the game is insanely fun with friends.

br3ad, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Outward is pretty fun (and at times bs and challenging). It is also not that long of a game to finish. The soundtrack is also good.

Rayman Legends.

If you’re open to silly casual games, Untitled Goose Game

Also, I heard Cult of the Lamb was getting a co-op update

irishPotato, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

I’m playing through BG3 with a good friend too, we’re actually planning on doing another, wildly different, playthrough when we’re done with this one. We’re playing sorta chaotic/neutral good right now and intend to do an evil campaign next with different characters and classes and possibly even modded.

Now I obviously haven’t tried it yet but the game has so much hidden stuff, branching paths and different-to-play classes I’m fairly confident you can play it at least twice and have an almost entirely new experience!

JustEnoughDucks, (edited ) do gaming w Is it worth upgrading from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a Ryzen 7 5700X3d?
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Games simply don’t benefit enough for the cost of a new processor, let alone new motherboard and ram.

A new GPU will almost always the best bang for your buck improvement in games.

Then you should definitely go AMD. There is literally no reason not to unless you are already using cuda or ray tracing a ton. AMD is the best value for the money by far, has a MUCH better software interface (never thought I would say that), comparable or less driver issues than nvidia now, and it also works flawlessly on Linux, including full undervolting support (important on any GPU, but on AMD it is much easier).

That being said, if comparable performance GPUs are the same price in your region and you use windows, nvidia is also fine to grab.

Always undervolt your GPU. My 5700XT that ran on 200W before now maxes out at 150W and usually is at 140W with a 1% performance difference. That is like a 9C temp difference.

Infernal_pizza,
@Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it seems like a CPU upgrade isn’t worth it at the moment. I’m still a little unconvinced over AMD vs Nvidia though. I don’t use ray tracing much as it seems to basically function as a lag mode, but I am expecting it to be much better on a 40 series card. No idea if I use cuda or not as I’m not really sure what it is. However DLSS seems to be a lot better than FSR, and I haven’t run into any issues on Linux with my current Nvidia GPU. They also seem to be roughly the same price for the equivalent models here in the UK so AMD don’t even have price going for them. I would basically be choosing AMD for the Linux compatibility despite still doing a lot of my gaming on Windows and not having any driver issues anyway

Schmuppes,

I’m in the same boat, with an 3700X. Upgrading my Vega 56 will be the first thing and I’m sure that the CPU will still be just fine for that. 1-2 years after the GPU, I’ll probably invest in a new platform.

JustEnoughDucks,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

You definitely don’t use CUDA then. That is hardware accelerated machine learning basically.

For you usecase then it doesn’t make much of a difference. DLSS 3.0 is indeed better than FSR, but there are few games that use it i guess. DLSS 2.x and FSR are about on par with each other and FSR is enabled in all games. . Many/most of people don’t even realize that DLSS/FSR is disabled when gaming as the vast vast majority of games don’t even have it and and most don’t think about it, I have no idea if you are in the same boat, but then it makes no sense to base a decision based off of features you don’t use, in my opinion.

Infernal_pizza,
@Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I didn’t think I used cuda! Most reviews/benchmarks seem to place the 4070 ahead of the RX 7800XT though. The only reasons AMD is still tempting is the extra VRAM and better Linux compatibility. I’ll have to have a think about it, thanks for your help though!

arefx,

Raytea ing on a 4090 is a great experience but you need to fork over a lot of dough to experience it.

Infernal_pizza,
@Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I definitely can’t afford a 4090 at the moment lol

Left 4 Dead 2

In the same vein but very different: Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and Darktide. No local co-op and cross-play for them though.

Glide, do games w Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

A couple titles that deserve mention and I don’t see in any other lists:

Children of Mora - Narrative driven action RPG with some light Roguelite-ish elements. Amazing world building and story telling, good character choice/building and gameplay.

Cassette Beasts - Pokemon, if it were good. Much more mature story, tons of quality of life systems that makes building things fun, a weakness system that matters a lot more than “number big” and the entire game is double battles. I’ve played the game start-to-finish in couch co-op and it was incredible. They’ve recently added online multiplayer, but I cannot say with 100% certainty that the online allows you to engage with the story together. Couch co-op has one player play as the companion character in an otherwise unchanged experience whereas online has one player character hop into another player characters world.

Weird enough, the Monster Hunter franchise - I’m not sure how this isn’t anywhere else in this thread. Use large weapon to hunt large monster. Build bigger weapon to hunt bigger monster. World and Rise are both on sale on Steam right now. World is dumb to move through the story together though, despite the fact that most fans who aren’t me are likely to call it the better game.
