bitwolf,

Man if they did a DualSense style controller with the solid l/r1 and a touchpad for htpc use I’d be all over it.

I might just get one anyway as a backup but they’re really close to the ultimate controller with the kingkong

WetBeardHairs,
SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

I installed these on my wife’s joycons because she mashes the sticks like Gail the Snail. So far no issues with drift! The kit comes with all the tools you need to do the swap so it’s very straightforward.

What is the chip in this thing? The Tegra was already old and underpowered when the Switch was in design stages.

Centillionaire,

New chip is a new Tegra by Nvidia, if rumors from 2 years ago are true. About 10X the old Tegra chip. So no, not PS 5 level, but decent.

It seems like game studios cannot possibly do right in this regard. They can either be like valve or rockstar where they are criticized for taking their time, although they almost always put out great original titles or they can be like cd project red where they push out the game as fast as they can and they are criticized for rushing it. There can be no middle ground as to not rush it and to make it a good game may mean delaying repeatedly until it’s in a releasable state, and only the studio can be given that decision.

M1st3rM,

Well some people are always gonna complain but The majority wants finished polished games. So they can do it right. I don’t get the dude tbh. Does he really prefer to be disappointed? There are so many games to play while waiting

Vipsu, do games w Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions
@Vipsu@lemmy.world avatar

I wish more players would just ignore these cosmetic microtransactions and go with the default skin or at least limit themselves to ones that can be obtained by actually achieving something in the game. Using default skin while outplaying people in competitive games could probably induce some people to make quite salty comments.

Pxtl, do games w Valve employee reveals “stupid expensive” scrapped VR console plans

Imho apple has it right for high-end vr: no wires because wearable computer.

HidingCat,

Only if latency is really really low. VR is one of those things that's really sensitive to even the slightest bit of lag.

I don't mind cables if it's a single USB-C cable.

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

I mean a wireless wearable computer would have network lag but the important lag – between the rendering GPU and the screen – would be nil.

I mean streaming the video data to the headset Miracast-style would be dumb, I agree, but afaik all the rendering hardware in the new Apple headset is inside the headset.

The new Steam Deck and its copycats have proven that a compact gaming-grade PC is doable. If not fully contained in the headset, then make a little fannypack with a cable up to vr headset, but you can walk around untethered otherwise.

HidingCat,

Ah right, I see what you mean. I was thinking of gaming that requires a separate computer, but like you said, there can be other ways to do that.

    the left joycon on my switch started drifting after a couple of years, meanwhile the gamecube controller ive had and used for about 20 years still works perfectly

    nutlink,

    I've had my Switch since launch and haven't had any drifting issues. My brothers both had it though, so I think I've just been incredibly lucky.

    Viirax,
    @Viirax@kbin.social avatar

    For me the issue was much worse than drift. One of my joy-cons, that were not really used all that much so the "abusing your controllers" would just be false, just decided that it didn't want to work on the Y axis any more, and the quick fix was the add some credit card thick cardboard behind the joystick box. The controllers were just really badly made in the first place.

    Diasl,

    That’s really not the case, my switch got very light use (like a couple of hours a month) and after about 14 months it started drifting.

    JakoJakoJako13, do games w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game
    @JakoJakoJako13@lemmy.world avatar

    This is the first Diablo game that I’ve uninstalled within a year of getting it. The fact that it’s only been a couple months and it got worse not better makes this worse. It’s a seriously flawed game, and expansions won’t help it.

    ArchmageAzor, do games w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game
    @ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

    I played the demo and had a decently fun time with it. I probably would have bought it if it was like $50-$60. Of course it releases at $80 for the base version and no price drop since. Then comes the talk of the grindiness, now this. Just a bad deal all around.

    GrayBackgroundMusic,

    It was good at release, but it’s been mediocre at best, garbage at worst, since.

    Astroturfed,

    The $80 pricetage made me not even consider it. Especially when you know they’re going to milk as much cash out of you as they can for expansions/DLC or anything else.

    DerisionConsulting, do gaming w Switch 2 leaks claim console runs “like a PS5”, FF7R to be launch title & more - Dexerto

    Bad title.

    “FF7R looks and runs like a PS5 game on Switch 2 devkit."

    The person does not claim that the Switch 2 runs like a PS5, just that this specific game, while on the devkit, looks like a PS5 game.

    Devkits are not final hardware, and one game isn’t enough to evaluate a system.

    mx_smith, do games w Roblox gets banned indefinitely in Turkey over “child exploitation”

    Can someone tell me how the kids are being forced to make video games. I have read several of these articles and can’t understand the logic. My kids played Roblox and created games on the platform they were never forced or coerced to make anything. Maybe it’s our messed up capitalistic society that expects everybody to monetize anything that’s fun.

    Denjin,

    The details are too much to go into here in a simple comment. For a full investigation into Roblox check out this video by People Make Games, a games journalism site:

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ

    Essentially, Roox makes billions off the free labour of children. The entire eco system is set up to funnel kids into a cycle of consuming others content and producing their own. It’s also completely unregulated which has allowed some shady people, some of whom are, or directly work for, the owners of the platform to set up quasi developer studios where children are subjected to the same appealing treatment and exploitation of the regular games industry, while earning none of the revenue.

    mx_smith,

    Well none of these sources tell me how the kids are forced into this. All these services are free, so I still don’t see the exploitation. Are you saying the kids are tricked into making games for Roblox, if so then maybe that’s on the parents. As a software engineer and having kids who played Roblox their entire lives, I still can’t make the leap of exploitive practices over just capitalism. Maybe show me another platform that kids can learn how the basics of game design while hosting the game at the same time.

    FrowingFostek,

    More perfect union did a really great video about the exploitation. From what I can remember the crux of the argument goes roughly like this:

    Kid plays game, kid is encouraged through game to create content for game. This content created by kid is sold through game to other kids. Kid who put the work into creating this gamemode is not compensated fairly.

    The video goes on to explain a lot of other exploitative practices of roblox.

    yamanii,
    @yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

    Not coerced, but tricked into thinking they would get money for it while roblox or some other adult creator takes 90% of it.

    At least in my day when we made some small rpg maker 2000 thing for free there wasn’t anyone above me getting rich while I got zilch.

    ObsidianNebula,

    I watched a video a while back about this, but the details are fuzzy. I think it was the one I linked below if you want to look more into it. In essence, there aren’t a ton of cases where kids are actually being forced to work. However, there are strong incentives for kids to work on Roblox projects that the developers themselves push. The devs want a constant stream of content and money coming in, but they don’t want to pay adult workers at adult wages, so they offer Robux to players who make games. It is difficult for people to convert Robux to actual cash, and the money they receive is often significantly less than they would if they put the effort into any other form of work, so many of these kids are essentially making content for the developers for free or significantly less than they should earn. If there was no payout for content creators and the kids were doing that development just because they had passion for the game, it might be a different situation, but there are quite a few kids that believe they can make serious money doing this and don’t understand that the developers are exploiting them and paying very little. Adults can probably do more research and better understand the situation they are getting into, but kids often don’t have the same critical thinking skills as adults and will accept the lie being pushed by the developers and community that they can get rich by contributing to the game they love.
