I know nothing about anything in this post, I misread the title as “purchased by Fandom” and was confused as to why everyone is happy about this lol

Great interview; Love Lutris :)

altkey, do games w Medal of honor on the PS1

Awful tanky controls (understandable) didn’t stop me from getting 100% genitals shots in some of it’s missions. Local deathmatch was kinda better because both of you struggled with them. 7\10 for me as a kid, but if I’d play it now as it was back then, I’d quickly drop it in favor of something with a third person perspective. It wasn’t just there yet, and devs did the best they could.

The game that got me into dual stick controls and first person shooters in general, absolutely loved this game.

Disgusting. I don’t demand or expect them to rewrite their website, but those people are nowhere near even “neutral” status, as long as they behave this way.

Certainly not allies or friends I would support.

The sale is also hours old, and the new owners are all out of town.

it_depends_man,

Ok, I’m looking forward to them changing this practice then. We’ll see if they do.

They literally just split off of Fandom. There has been no time to do anything about this.

This is very cool. My partner and I are bigger fans of life is strange 2 and we have it on the bucket list to take a few weeks traveling from Seattle down the coast until we get to Mexico.

Unfortunately I cannot stand driving and I don’t think either of us want to visit America for a while but I still hope to do it one day.

The big things from the game would be the redwoods and the US border I guess. Still irks me that the fandom didn’t turn up for LiS2, which I found vastly better - but at least we get that. Lost Records definitely feels like dontnod leaning in to the long-term LiS1 fanbase anyway, to me.

What the fuck? The logo is an otter? I thought it was a cowboy!

I’ve always thought it was an otter, but never up till now have I questioned why it’s stolen an orange. They’re not the most citrus-loving of creatures.

I mean it’s in the name, Lutris. I am trying really hard to see a cowboy now though.

Genius,

The orange is a face, the white is hair, and the brown is a big cowboy hat.

@zewm@lemmy.world avatar

That doesn’t even make sense. What cowboy hat wraps around to the chin?

Another fantastic project that makes gaming on Linux so much easier. It’s incredibly strong in configurability and ‘robustness’. Yes, you might have to set up all of your Wine bottles and things like that, which can be a faff, but once it’s working in Lutris, it just keeps on working on Lutris.

Great for long-running series, too. I’ve been a big fan of the XCOM series since the Amiga days; in Lutris, it’s easy to have UFO: Enemy Unknown / Terror from the Deep running in openxcom, Apocalypse in DosBox, and connected up to the Firaxis remakes in Steam. Similarly, love me a metroidvania, and have got most of the 40+ CastleVania games lined up and ready-to-go, just a double-click away.

“to what happened with Giant Bomb”

Boy I sure am glad that seemingly-crucial part of context was included in this post.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

A boss several steps up the chain decided to make changes to how the site operates that were incompatible with what Giant Bomb is, namely that they wanted an advertiser-friendly, “brand-safe” image with less swearing and streaming. This led to a number of key people leaving, at which point, the name Giant Bomb isn’t really worth anything to anyone. It’s been covered in tons of gaming circles this week alongside the similar destruction of Polygon, so I didn’t think it needed to be stated yet again as I was summarizing bullet points from a live stream.

MalikMuaddibSoong,

RIP Escapist Magazine

AngryCommieKender,

Second Wind is filling the “Yahtzee rants about a game that I’m unlikely to play anytime soon” hole nicely.

zipzoopaboop,

Meh

Vespair,

Very fair and valid.

I will just gently state that this is c/games, not c/gamingcircles and thus many of us are very interested in video games but not necessarily the industries on the periphery thereof, so what seems “yet again” to you might be a first time for others.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Very true. Though at the same time, you probably could have found that context you were looking for by typing a couple of those words into your favorite search engine or Wikipedia.

Vespair,

I agree with you, but I do believe that is an unrealistic expectation for interacting with casual lemmy posts when a custom of including relevant context exists. But all good, I’ll admit my lack of awareness on this one; you did nothing wrong.

EncryptKeeper,

I mean sure but we could all just do that with everything and we wouldn’t need Lemmy at all lmao

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

You wouldn’t know what to search for, but in this case you would.

I’m one of those who have 10 or less games installed, because having more would only be detrimental to my experience. I’d be unable to choose and then I’d play even less than I already do lately.

P.S.: Thank you for the interview, very interesting.

No plans on stopping, so you’re all stuck with me now!

Yep, tons of beautiful scenery along the Pacific Coast Highway, and environs!

Otherwise known as highway 101, from WA down to CA… though I think it becomes Highway 1 at some point in Cali.

I’d seen much of these and similar places in camping/roadtrips/fishing trips as a kid prior to playing Life is Strange though, so I guess it wasn’t as impressive to me, having seen it irl before the games… though the psuedo impressionistic landscape art style is a neat way to depict it.

Either way, great pictures OP!

Thanks for another great post and a very interesting interview! FWIW I cross-posted it to !linux_gaming

Oh thank you so much for doing that!

Any way more people get the chance to see it is a good one, I really appreciate you doing that! :)

Looking at the tiny lighthouse : “damn the water must be really cold”

Thanks for sharing your road trip, I love LiS, I’m currently re-downloading LiS 2 (slow internet so it takes me a dozen of hours)
