devilish666,

I thought this already fixed with Nexus community, if i recall it’s SVE

Cenzorrll,

Not everyone can install mods

AlligatorBlizzard,

Especially the people getting this update, PC has had this update for like six months already, this announcement is for Switch and mobile versions. Android is the only one that can install mods and not always well.

ech,

In short - a lot.

riodoro1, do astronomy w Elon Musk destroys astronomy

But people are still shilling for starlink. I was always downvoted for mentioning the kessler syndrome or light pollution. All for progress, I guess we really need that fast internet in the middle of the atlantic.

MartianSands,

People down voting you for bringing up Kessler syndrome were correct to do so. It’s a complete non-issue for starlink-sized objects at that altitude.

Light pollution is a more reasonable objection, and the effects on the upper atmosphere of all those satellites burning up would be as well, but not Kessler syndrome

booly,

It’s a complete non-issue for starlink-sized objects at that altitude.

Yeah. The mass and altitude are too low.

The thing with Kessler Syndrome is that collisions create debris, which cascades with more collisions, until there’s too much debris. But each collision actually results in the loss of kinetic energy or gravitational potential energy overall, so that the subsequent pieces are less energetic and/or less massive. Start with enough mass and enough altitude, and you’ve got a real problem where it can cascade many, many times. But with smaller objects at low altitude, and there’s just not enough energy to cause a runaway reaction.

LordCrom,

Fellow dark sky supporter. Between all the led billboards, sprawl, and all the attempts at education failing… I doubt our children will have any view of the stars at all.

Unless there’s a hurricane that’s wipes out power… Stargazing was excellent for a few nights then.

cordlesslamp, do gaming w Dota 2 now #5 by simultaneously viewers

What the fuck kind of name is “Mobile Legends Bang Bang”? It’s like they give it a whole 5 seconds to come up with that name. It’s like they don’t even care.

shapesandstuff, do gaming w I have been getting into emulation (discussion)

I love how much the emulation scene is doing for game preservation

Plus its super interesting from a technical point too

Gamers_mate,

Emulation has come a long way. It is a great way to experience videogame history without original hardware.

Until archive.org soon will be ceased. Other big ROM sites were forced to close as well.. It's madness!! And we are not doing enough to prevent this. For example: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/06/one-of-the-webs-oldest-rom-sites-removes-games-by-nintendo-sega-and-lego

shapesandstuff,

Yeah its a shame. Idk how much “we” can do about corporates misguided copyright craze

Gamers_mate,

we really need to archive archive.org tbh. If there was an open source fediverse alternative that would be great. The hard part would be the amount of storage needed for the whole thing.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

We need to leverage existing solutions like how Ana archive is working. Which makes use of torrents. https://annas-archive.org/
Like read this carefully: https://annas-archive.org/datasets

Gamers_mate,

cool I haven’t heard of ana archive. Looks interesting.

Essence_of_Meh, do games w Crew 2 is on sale for a dollar on Steam, Epic, Xbox, & PlayStation until 23rd of September
@Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world avatar

Ubisoft also announced both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest will have an offline mode (twitter post, screenshot). Looks like the Stop Killing Games campaign is working.

Speaking of, if you’re in EU make sure to sign the The European Citizens’ Initiative petition - we’re already over 30% required signatures!

Chozo, do gaming w Moneyless Harvest Moon-type game?
@Chozo@fedia.io avatar

I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism.

I think Sim Ant technically meets these conditions.

friendly_ghost, (edited )

Amazing, I’ll check it out

Edit: Oh wow 1991! Won some awards back then, too 🐜

Whats the best way to play Sim Ant these days? Ive always wanted to try it

friendly_ghost,

You can download it here: abandonia.com/…/SimAnt+-+The+Electronic+Ant+Colon… You’ll need DosBox or some other emulator to run it

thank you very much!! 👏

s12, do gaming w #StopKillingGames Update: Denmark passes threshold as initiative reaches 1/3 vote milestone

Yay!

Things are going well.

Hoping to see France meet the milestone since that’s where the focus of the campaign was.

I wish I could sign from the UK.

Vittelius,

A UK petition is in the works. But it might take a month or two until that goes online.

Beaver,
@Beaver@lemmy.ca avatar

Didn’t they have one already when the Tories were like “nah let the free market decide”

Vittelius,

Yes there was one but the Tories didn’t have anything to do with it closing, at least not directly. If an election happens all open petitions are closed as a matter of process, because “it’s a new parliament”. And then you need to resubmit.

Devorlon,

Also, the petitions committee told the Tories that their response was bullshit and they needed to give a proper one. But that doesn’t really matter because of the whole new government thing.

That’s great to hear. I was just thinking that Parliament had a similar petition website

Cringe2793, do games w RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it

It’s just RuneScape. Don’t like it? Quit. Vote with your wallet.

NikkiDimes,

Dude, I feel like if you’re still playing RuneScape in the year of our lord 2024, it’s more than just RuneScape for you at this point.

Cringe2793,

Then if they’re gonna whine about it, but pay anyway, they’re basically saying the company can do whatever they like and they (the players) will just suck it up. So what’s the use of whining then?

wrekone,

I don’t give a shit about RuneScape. But being vocal is how people give their feedback. For the players, it’s better to give feedback before the price changes, in hopes of making a difference.

Cringe2793,

You’re not wrong. But voting with your wallet has a much bigger effect, I’d say.

EatATaco,

If you whine about the pay increase, but pay it anyway (or continue to pay it now)…the feedback you’re giving is that it’s actually worth that price to you, and your words are effectively meaningless.

he_is_matt, do games w I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta!

Fantastic concept. I agree that most of the other apps are either super monetized or too “in app” like a Pokemkon GO, or they’re just boring and don’t offer much.

This looks like something fun, motivating, and really well made.

schamppu,

Thank you! And I definitely know the feeling of “being boring and don’t offer much”. That’s what I also got from many of the fitness games out there - I felt the games were way too casual to offer long-term motivation. If I’m collecting stuff for the sake of just collecting, there’s not enough to keep me hooked.

We’re trying here to keep it quite casual friendly by that the complexity reveals itself slowly. But I also think that complexity often for people comes from controls and such - here the input being just walking already lowers the bar a lot.

The combat that’s coming to the game I think really is the final missing piece, as then all of the hard grind you’ve done also ties to combat progression. Making the perfect combat build to beat a boss with your hard earned steps!

he_is_matt,

I just got my access to the closed beta and fired it up today. Even the initial setup, character customization, story intro, and tutorials are top notch. I feel pretty excited to get this started, more than I’ve felt about a game in awhile. Looking forward to the experience and contributing to the feedback where I can.

schamppu,

Thank you so much! The current tutorial is just a placeholder, and not really that finished but I tried to make that nice looking and informative as well. Happy walking, and glad you’re liking it ❤️

Midnitte, do gaming w Just finished Alan Wake 2

Perhaps someday it’ll come to Steam so I can enjoy it. :/

blackris,
@blackris@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Oh man, wanted to play AW2 someday. I didn’t know it was only on Epic. Fuck those guys.

Midnitte,

Yea it’s just dumb and a waste of effort imo (Epic should focus on actually providing a functional store first, not second)

Supposedly Control 2 at they very least should be on Steam…

chloyster,

Alan Wake 2 was published by and likely would not exist without Epic. It is unlikely it will come to steam

TachyonTele,

Is Control on steam? I have the GoG version. But that game is “multiplatform” then Alan Wake very well could be too

chloyster,

Control is on steam because it was published by 505 games.

Don’t get me wrong I’m anti epic buying exclusivity for games. But like if they fully funded the development and published it…

TachyonTele,

Ah gotcha. Thanks. I was assuming it was the same publisher .

And I agree with you. It’s been like that for forty years. I never understand why people get so upset over it recently.

Midnitte,

Epic would make more money selling it on Steam :/

chloyster,

Oh for sure I definitely agree there haha. As far as software is concerned I don’t like the epic store. Steam is much better on that front. But I also don’t have any true moral issue with the epic store. Especially for playing a game they funded. Epic also funded and published the Alan Wake remaster. They effectively were able to bring back a long dormant series, and for that I am happy since Alan Wake 2 ended up being one of my all time favorite games.

I wish they didn’t have to keep it in their store, since I like steam more, but at the end of the day I’m not too bothered by it

Sundial, do games w [Aug 2024] What are the current most active forums for specific video game discussions?

You can start the discussions on this community if you’d like. I believe it’s the most active one. If you’re looking for the amount of content Reddit has…Lemmy isn’t there yet. You starting these discussions may help more and more people to contribute and add in. Which then creates more content.

cosmicrose, do astronomy w Size Comparison: Pluto and Australia
@cosmicrose@lemmy.world avatar

This picture is inaccurate, Pluto is actually much farther away.

mindbleach,

Telephoto shot, using a 1e50 mm lens.

Swedneck,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

if anyone wants to do the math, how far away from the sun would the camera have needed to be to take such a photo?

mindbleach,

Apparent scale is inverse linear, i.e., proportional to 1 / distance. If we want the apparent scale of two objects to be about 90% accurate to their actual relative scale, their relative distances to the camera can’t be more than 10% different. Pluto being 40-ish astronomical from Earth, you’d want to shoot from about 400 AU. Voyager I should be in prime position circa 2140.

lolcatnip,

Probably not necessary to use a lens so long it can reach distant galaxies!

Use a profile link, not a quick link. They don’t resolve to your profile the same way.

Friend codes are also multi-use.

themusicman,

I noticed this soon after posting. Tried to edit them, but must have missed this one

Coskii, do gaming w I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?
@Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Probably that first NES controller… Those corners were hell on the palms.

shapesandstuff,

Those were terrible!

Nowadays for me it’s anything that doesnt have “horns” to grip or not enough space between them.

I stil main 360 controllers though i find them a tad too small/cramped

theangriestbird,

This drives me nuts on the Switch on handheld. The Joycons have no natural “grip”, so it’s hand cramp city unless you invest in a grip case. Was it so hard to give the Joycons an ergonomic shape?

sleepybisexual,

Yes, yes it was so hard. How else would they sell their dumb grips

sleepybisexual,

Ouch

BmeBenji, do games w Elden Ring Twitter warns of DLC spoilers being posted everywhere

Spoilers? Man I finished the game and I still have no idea what’s going on
