Game jams gonna be much higher stakes.

The year is 2067, i have to learn compatibility programming for Applesoft’s newest OS so players can still play Spiderman Model I Ripped Online and Put Into Unreal Engines Third Person Platformer Demo

Watch the video again. That’s not what this is about.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Video?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The one from Accursed Farms that set off this entire campaign. It’s not about supporting a game forever. It’s about not killing them intentionally when support ends.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I dont see any mention of them or video here, theres a petition with text here that definitely reads as supporting games indefinitely, even criticizing servers shutting down.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

What part of that petition says that it’s to support games indefinitely? It explicitly requests action to protect customers after support ends. That inherently means it won’t be supported indefinitely.

The facial animation in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is still the best I’ve ever seen, and that game came out in 2017.

Incredible looking game. I hope the sequel lives up to the original.

Summzashi,

It was barely a game though.

Honestly it’s cute that you think that the British government give a damn what you think. They are incompetent and corrupt, why would you possibly think that they would have the mental capacity to effectively respond to this petition?

The Conservatives only care about profit, what you’re asking them to do is legislate against businesses. They do not do that. They are not going to implement any pro-consumer laws because that just gets in the way of making large sums of money at the expense of everything else.

Delphia,

You’re right. Everythings fucked, why try at all lets just roll over and take it.

echodot,

Yeah because I said that didn’t I.

Jesus Christ doing pointless stuff is pointless. I’m all for action that is effective but petitions on the government website have literally never achieved anything in the entire history of the system existing.

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

So what would you do instead?

eluvatar,

Complain that other people aren’t doing anything, apparently

xkforce,

And your suggestion is what exactly?

rikudou,
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

Turn back time and don’t leave the union that actually does pro-consumer things?

echodot,

Realistically that is actually the only option.

Turning back time but just hoping that the EU implements something. Then we all get to benefit from the Brussels effect. There really isn’t anything that we can do.

The best we can hope for is we can vote for whoever is necessary in your constituency to get the Tories out, and hope that Labour care, but they probably won’t.

Mongostein,

You’re right, but all I see is condescension and complaints with no solutions.

What have you done to improve the world lately?

echodot,

Banging your head against the wall is not a solution if banging your head against the wall has no possible hope of having an effect.

Mongostein,

So nothing but bitch. Gotcha.

echodot,

But the petition isn’t going to work so you’ve also done nothing.

Mongostein,

Well, I don’t live in the UK, so it’s not for me to sign, and I wasn’t talking about this specific thing.

Have you helped anyone lately? Try it. It feels better than bitching endlessly online.

echodot,

No I am talking about this specific thing. My point is that people sign the petition and then get all smug and feel like they’ve done something, the government doesn’t care about it, as is evidenced by their response.

If you want to do something go and publicly protest it’s the only thing that gets their attention. Things might be different in whatever country you’re from but in the UK petitions are not worth the paper they’re not written on. Also this petition was stupid anyway because it’s too focused on video games, (as opposed to software in general, operating systems, critical business applications, and device drivers) which basically guaranteed the government were going to ignore it from the outset.

This petition could have been much more broad and it would have had much more marketable appeal. All I’m doing is pointing that out, and I’m getting hate from all sides from people who seem to think that the government should somehow care about video games as much as they do. Now, if somebody came up with an actual campaign that had any chance of victory I’d be all on it. The trouble is no one ever does. They just create petitions ad infinitum.

Rentlar,

It already has done much more than you give credit for. People are talking about it. More importantly, legislators are talking about it, which is the first step for things for laws to change/clarify what it means to own a digital product in the UK.

Zekas,

Your body is an engine that turns useful words into grating screeches.

echodot,

Yeah whereas you’re doing loads

I haven’t checked it out yet, but I saw someone had made a Lumines demake for the gba. Usually I end up finding out about them through forums and youtube

Omegamanthethird, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I do not include XI or XIV. Also, I still haven’t beaten II, IV, or VI. But I’ve beaten the rest and some of the spin-offs.

MacedWindow,
@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

I think II is really cool! I recommend the GBA version though.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I already bought the Pixel Remaster version. Maybe I’ll start it after next month’s FFV Four Job Fiesta challenge.

MacedWindow,
@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

Oh thats fine! Just not the NES version. I love 8bit stuff but it can be a lot harder to get into.

Carighan, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

No of course not. Plus XI nowadays is a bit tricky to play anyways, and with XIV, there’s also no reason to for the average player.

littlebluespark, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

Might as well ask if we included Tactics.

MacedWindow,
@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

Tactics doesnt have a number though

littlebluespark,
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

That’s my point.

MacedWindow,
@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve been playing through all the numbered games and its been great.

Its a numbered game and I’ve been playing the numbered games up till now. I’ve never played 11 maybe the stories incredible I think its worth asking in the context of what I’m doing.

zipzoopaboop,

Of course it should be included. It’s the best game.

It is the marathon.

The most realistic one that I’ve personally run is The Witcher 3, but I’m sure there are more realistic ones out there.
