bagodogs, do games w Why do new Silent Hill entries attract so much negativity?
@bagodogs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Haven’t seen any complaints about F, but the SH2 remake was made by a studio with a spotty record, they made some unnecessary changes, and it still has traversal stutter.

I admit I do not prefer the remake over the original, but that’s mostly because I would rather see new original things than to milk pre-existing material which didn’t age that badly. Also, as you mentionet, silent hill f isn’t being developed by bloober team! If anything, that’s something to look forward to if one didn’t like the remake.

Having something suggest networking opportunities doesn’t sound like the worst, but only if it was suggestions in their own section of the app (and not bombarding you with notifications about it either). This implementation is truly god awful and I can’t believe anyone thought this was a good idea.

Kwakigra, do gaming w Can we talk about the Roblox situation?
@Kwakigra@beehaw.org avatar

This is, very unfortunately, what happens in every internet space which is targeted towards children and allows communication among users. It is by far the easiest way for anonymous predatory adults to make contact with typically unattended children. I would like at some point to see a child-oriented space on the internet have the highest priority of children’s safety at some point, but there hasn’t been one yet.

descartador,

But is roblox facilitating and monetizing sexual predation?

Kwakigra,
@Kwakigra@beehaw.org avatar

Definitely. They could do something about this but they would make less profit.

TheFogan,

I mean I’m sure there’s been some… but well how popular would they be. I mean the long and short of how it has to be done… no private messages, all public messages heavily monitored. Which unfortunately isn’t a recipe for making a site popular with kids.

They have said clearly that they care more about profits than the safety of the real people, even childen, playing their game.

Personally, I don’t care about TLOU, but I don’t think you should be leading with a massive spoiler as the thumbnail. Others might give you a lot of shit for that.

ushmel,

Games pretty old and it has a show about it too, but yeah. Big ass spoiler lol

Yeah, I hadn’t even considered it with how prevalent it felt like his death was online when the game launched. I figured just everyone knew and it hadn’t really clicked “hey. This is still a massive spoiler”. It’s on me for not thinking that through

Block Fort is the best battle mode map there ever was. Give us a good battle mod back Nintendo ! They’ve been crappy ever since.

omgitsaheadcrab,

This right here. I don’t know how many hours I spent on block fort with 2-4 players. It just fantastic and nothing has come close since

ReCursing, do games w what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?

Off the top of my head, in no particular order:

  • Portal (or maybe Portal 2)
  • Doom (the 1993 one) (or maybe Doom 2)
  • Stellaris

All great games

  1. Super Mario RPG. I played through this game so many times as a kid.

Shadow of Mordor is just so much fun to screw around in. Does a really good job making you feel badass

Deceptichum, do gaming w This happened to me in Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims.

When the answer is to grab the fork seventeen levels back, and to not use it on the dog 3 screens before so that you had it to look at after answering a riddle written backwards in Spanish that is actually an in-joke from the devs childhood you’re damn fucking right I’m not wasting my time to “figure it out”.

Video games are not reality, I can’t look at an easily surmountable barrier and just walk over it like I could in real life to solve the issue, I have to take some deranged imagined route by a dev. I can’t logically work my way out of a situation that is some guys bullshit idea of a solution.

Soapbox, do gaming w This happened to me in Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims.

This is exactly it. I definitely used a lot of walkthroughs as a kid. I also feel like games in the 90s and early 00s were just plain harder, or sometimes poorly designed.

These days I only look something up when I have got to a point of near rage over how much of my limited gaming time has been wasted, and I need to know if I am just a moron, or if it’s a bug, or bad game design. Of course, then I get mad that I can’t find it written out, and have to skim around in some fucking YouTube video to figure it out.

lunarul,

For me it’s the opposite. I remember getting stuck in a game for days or weeks in the 90s. I would get to a point where I would just try to click everything on the screen, use every item with everything else, try all possible item combinations, etc. These days, if I’m stuck for more than an hour or two I’ll just Google it. I’d rather move on faster and get to play more games in the limited time I have for such things.

Soapbox,

Oh I had that same experience too. Especially with Mist. I never got far in it. I’m convinced the game was broken.

CubitOom, do gaming w What are your experiences using Linux for gaming?

All my games work, however I avoid games that require kernel level root kits to run so your mileage may vary.

If you ever have an issue with a game running under proton. Look up the game in ProtonDB and make sure to use the filter to match your hardware.

termus,
@termus@beehaw.org avatar

I get avoiding those games on principal… but is there any harm that can come from playing those through Linux?

CubitOom,

Its a kernel level rootkit, so if you have that installed your computer is no longer yours. They could in theory, read your RAM and use it to read encryption keys and have full access to your system and you would never know.

termus,
@termus@beehaw.org avatar

A kernel level rootkit for windows though. What is it going to have access to in Linux? Isn’t it just reading Proton’s windows files that are created for each game ran through it?

CubitOom,

You may be right, but I don’t know enough about proton to say it’s a well isolated sandboxed environment. I’d rather not have it on my PC at all.

verdigris,

They won’t run on proton. “Kernel-level” means it’s well below the level that Proton runs at.

termus,
@termus@beehaw.org avatar

Helldivers 2 runs fine through Proton with it’s anti-cheat. It was claimed to be kernel level.

verdigris,

My understanding is that actual kernel-level software would have to at least have a Linux-specific driver included. Otherwise if it really is running entirely through Proton, it’s somehow faking the ring 0 access. I’m not entirely sure, but I do think that anti-cheat must work differently from the big ones like FACEIT and Valorant.

nyahlathotep, do games w Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases?
@nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works avatar

Is this because everything in america has to be bigger?

? it’s the same size?

Anyway, I guess they thought it looked cool? idk it’s just part of the back cover, it’s not molded into the plastic or anything

eru777,

As someone pointed out, they are actually not the same size. I was mentioning the grooves being part of the “everything needs to look bigger and meaner in USA”. As part of the whole marketing strategy that still goes on to this day. E.g. In kirby game covers in the US he looks angry.

cRazi_man, do games w How can i casual gamer enter a game online competition?
@cRazi_man@europe.pub avatar

Fighting games are great for this. Street Fighter 6 is great (and the biggest). But there are others (Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Guilty Gear, Super Smash Bros, loads more and more upcoming new ones). Fighting games have usually have local clubs/events where you can play casual matches. They’ll also do local tournaments, and there will be bigger regional and national competitions to find. But it’s a great starting experience to go to a local tournament and lose £5 entry fee by losing 2 back to back best of 3’s.

Dudewitbow,

as an addenum, if you live by a major university, most universities have a weekly tounament for various games. if you arent up to snuff yet, there will likely also be casual setup, or better, bring your own setup to play casuals on with others. (e.g low effort one would be a pc version of a game running on a laptop for a mobile setup)

dont be intimidated and think you also have to register for the tournament if you arent experienced yet.
