hitagi, do games w Rainbow Six Siege X update detailed, as game goes free-to-play on June 10

The new game mode looks like the opposite of R6. The map is more open? Looks COD-like. R6 has always been CQB to me.

The interactive props are cool though.

simple,

Agreed, I’ll need to try it to see how it is. The idea of defending and attacking in one game sounds like it could be fun but quick respawns and an open map is closer to battlefield.

moody,

It’s more cod-like right now, but it’s still more strategic and 3-dimensional. I think once people start getting to know the maps better and strategies start to develop more, the run-and-gun style of play will slow down and people will play more carefully and more objective-oriented.

xnx,

Cqb?

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Ubisoft reportedly considering fresh business to own Assassin's Creed and other big franchises, co-owned by others like Tencent

I feel like something about this should be incredibly illegal, since it basically amounts to Tencent trying to sidestep every other investor in the company to gain total ownership of the valuable IPs.

I get free to play, however I am getting frustrated when I purchase a game and then it goes free to play.

Tetsuo,

I get it but I don’t really mind when it’s a very old game. It’s not like your copy of R6 siege has that much value many years after release.

Same goes for OW.

irish_link,

Absolutely true, unfortunately for me I usually purchase games later in their lifespan after most bugs are worked out. It’s not like it goes F2P a year after I purchase but I guess I am just complaining.

If more people get to play it and the game is given new life it’s a good thing.

Phineaz,

Well, can’t speak for R6S, but OW most certainly decreased in quality after it went F2P. We pretty much stopped playing a few months later.

Same goes for OW.

I paid for a 6 x 6 Hero Shooter they gave me a F2P 5 x 5 version with a lot of changes and I cannot ever play again the game that I paid for. I do mind a lot.

Tetsuo,

I bought OW at release and it’s one of the best value I ever got in gaming.

The game was around 40€ many years ago and I had all heroes since release, plenty of lootboxes and skins. And I played hundreds of hours on it. Yes they killed their game in the recent years but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get any value from it. I honestly think they were pretty generous for the first years considering it wasn’t price at 60€ like some CoD.

The problem isn’t the amount of value, they’ve essentially removed OW1, there’s no way to play it again from a game preservation perspective is goddamn awful what they’ve done. Probably the only time you can play it again is when they release an Overwatch Classic for $29.99 in 10 years.

DudeDudenson,

Comically enough they put it in sale on steam

Codilingus,

Ranked will not be F2P. If you already own Seige, you won’t have to pay again for ranked.

Anyone knows what happen to operators and skins already owned?

simple,

You’ll keep everything, it’s not a new game but more of an update and moving the game to a new engine, like CS2

Contemporarium, do games w Moon Studios (Ori, No Rest for the Wicked) goes 'fully independent' in aftermath of Private Division closure

After all the negative press I’m actually pretty surprised how much I’m enjoying No Rest for the Wicked

I think Ori IP belongs to Microsoft so this means no more ori games from moon studios

Not that any were planned, pretty sure they’re done with Ori.

Lenval Brown, who voiced the narrator in Disco Elysium, will return for Hopetown and voice a key character.

That man’s voice was amazing in Disco Elysium’s opening:

simple,

The whole situation is a mess and it’s hard to tell who’s in the wrong. I’m hoping the devs just keep making good games at this point.

Everyone is a little in the wrong, I think. But Argo is one of the good guys, and for me one of the biggest takeaways I was left with after deep diving onto this whole mess is a deep sadness over the friendship between Kurvitz and Argo falling apart.

Damn Martin Luiga is involved with Longdue now? I’ve only heard negative things about that studio before and I also thought he was already a part of Red Info with Kurvitz and Rostov. The Disco Elysium drama vortex just keeps on churning it seems.

this seems good

Buy from yurop. Second hand shops in every major city, can’t miss them. They stink of old.

Still not enough a reason to connect my TV to the internet.

caut_R,

My LG OLED autoupdated through the internet last year and now VRR is broken (flickers no matter what or how stable the FPS is), only way to „fix“ it is to set the refresh rate to whatever my FPS is gonna be (most of the time) and then lock my FPS to that and hope it doesn’t dip below that too much (or it‘ll flicker). Support is as helpful as you might imagine.

So yeah, don‘t connect your TV to the internet or you‘re at the mercy of the manufacturer. Lesson learned.

I setup rules on my router to block outgoing traffic from my LG OLED but I still have it on the network so I can use wake-on-LAN.

SidewaysHighways,

care to share those rules?

Toribor, (edited )
@Toribor@corndog.social avatar

This would vary based on what router you use, but this is the way I handled it on my Ubiquity EdgeRouter.


  • I added a DHCP reservation for my TV so it’s IP address on my local network doesn’t change.
  • I added a new firewall policy (with the highest priority) that accepts all traffic by default between my internal LAN network and the WAN interface of my router.
  • Then I added a rule to that policy to drop traffic from the IP address I assigned to my TV.

https://corndog.social/pictrs/image/1a2955a0-9c54-46a9-8c26-9eb0422b421c.png

Now the TV can no longer phone home to send obnoxious notifications or issue surprise firmware updates but I can still turn on the TV and adjust the volume over the local network. I use Home Assistant for this, but I think the LG remote android app would still work as well.

SidewaysHighways,

thank you so much! pumped to get rid of those pesky notifications but the home assistant Notifications are awesome

JimVanDeventer, do games w Jackbox Games coming to Smart TVs for free

Are people buying smart TVs because there is something to like about them or is that the only kind of TV available in some parts of the world?

PurpleTentacle,

Some parts of the world? Are you saying there are still parts of the world in 2025 where you can buy modern dumb-tvs?

simple,

Despite privacy and bloat concerns from some people online, I don’t think a single person I know would buy a TV if it couldn’t run streaming apps on it.

SkunkWorkz,

Where can you still buy dumb TVs?

SomethingBurger,

The landfill.
