Wait, that was an option this whole time?

Hell yeah. I will take either or preferably both.

__init__, do gaming w For a belated celebration of Tetris' 40th birthday, here's a highly partisan look back at Tetris DS

Still the best Tetris. I played thousands of 1v1 online matches back in the day. Haven’t seen anything quite like push mode since.

Telorand, do gaming w For a belated celebration of Tetris' 40th birthday, here's a highly partisan look back at Tetris DS

People who love Tetris are akin to people who love Rubik’s cubes. Not something I ever really was interested in getting into, but I respect the craft.

blindsight, do gaming w For a belated celebration of Tetris' 40th birthday, here's a highly partisan look back at Tetris DS

I had completely forgotten about the quest mode and tetronimo ball mode.

I’ve long-ago lost (or sold, maybe?) all my original DS stuff, but it’s nice how cheap and easy it is to buy a used DSi/DS Lite and then get a flash cart or soft mod. I should pull it out and play it again. Highly recommended as a console; the DS has lots of timeless games.

Twitch hasn’t been about community in a long time, ever since they removed the friends feature and started gatekeeping most communication behind handing over a phone number.

Never forget this, they can’t be both, they try so hard to pretend that they are but they’re a business first and foremost, not a place to find actual community, if they were they wouldn’t also have any adverts or ask you for money to have all the features real communities let you have for free.

chronicledmonocle, (edited ) do games w AMD's FSR 3.1 upscaling tested: improved over FSR 2 but DLSS and XeSS are still ahead

Is DLSS an open standard like FSR? No? Ok then it doesn’t matter if DLSS is marginally better.

simple,

XeSS doesn’t rely on specific hardware and is still better. It matters.

criticalinvite,

It does though doesn’t it, it has a fall back execution route on non-intel GPUs that isn’t as good?

DarkThoughts,

In the few games that I played that had both, FSR 3 ran much better than XeSS. XeSS was a little better than FSR 2 (granted, not hard because FSR 2 often runs worse than native for me) but FSR 3 typically had 20+ more FPS than XeSS. Maybe they run better on Intel gpus but those are still too experimental and too low performance for me to even consider at this stage.

How long should they be forced to walk on a treadmill for, then?

t3rmit3, do gaming w 27 years later, the spirit of Lego Island lives on in a surprising place

Lego Island was an action town sim set in a Lego-themed world. There was nothing particularly “Lego” about the gameplay. I mostly just loved riding the motorcycle around the island as a kid.

The real Lego video game is still just Minecraft.

Don’t take early access money if you don’t plan to be giving frequent updates. It’s the nature of the beast.

People don’t expect constant updates from pokemon because when you buy it, it’s “a complete game”. They may drop patches and add content but it’s not expected the way it is from a game supposedly in active development like an early access game is.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

Don’t buy an early access game if you expect a complete package.

Sarmyth,

It’s not expecting a complete package at the time of purchase. It’s expecting one in due time with your support.

What you are describing is a game outside of early access.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

Why are those your expectations, then? Seems kind of illogical to look at a system with a history of not that, expect it, then be mad.

You can say it’s not right for it to happen, but to be expecting it just makes no sense at all. Again, I’ll reiterate, you can argue that the system is fucked and needs to change, but, again, expecting an outcome with evidence that it won’t happen, then get mad, is asinine

Sarmyth,

No need to make things up. My expectation is what we get most of the time. You’re the weirdo acting like it’s not. This article is just a developer trying to move the goal posts of expectations yet again.

Like how much of a cuck for these businesses do you want to be?

It’s not illogical to expect a developer to follow the basic standards of the industry they opted into. It would be illogical to declare them the exception.

Small teams drop regular media and content updates all the time without people dying at their desks. The conversation of their working conditions is between them and their bosses (maybe the state), and not their customers.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

You accused me of making things up and called me a weirdo, honestly you’re a waste of breath.

What did I make up, exactly? Are your feelings always this sensitive?

Sarmyth,

You made up what my expectations were then argued against that instead of reality. Keep shilling though.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

You LITERALLY said your expectations, dork. I didn’t make up shit, you fucking said it yoursel

I’m not shilling, but good try with that one

Sarmyth,

I did write my expectations. So why was that your response? You called expecting the norm illogical. I take it back. You’re just unrealistic and assume everyone else should be too.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

You just said I made up your expectations then that yeah you did write them out

So which is it? Did i make it up or did you write them?

Sarmyth,

I wrote them out and you made up something different. Fuck man. How many times do I gotta break it down? You not reading didn’t make my words not exist. This is like… common stuff. This whole argument is making sense now…

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

I didn’t make up anything different at all, you fucking asswad. Liar

Sarmyth,

I also believe you are a liar now. It’s all in text.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

Exactly, any dipshit can see the chain of events that show you’re just a troll.

ahal,

Nah screw that… don’t buy early access games if you don’t think it’s worth it in it’s current state.

Sarmyth, (edited )

Naw screw that. Don’t label it early access if you don’t plan to update it from its current state at a rate that the majority of your fan base expects.

That said the dev in this article has provided 3 updates in 3 months. They’re totally fine by the expectations of all but the most unreasonable people.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

Or just don’t buy a game with expectations that don’t match reality and then get mad at other people.

Typical gamer brain rot

Sarmyth,

But my expectations match the norm! You are stupid.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

Again, typical gamer brain rot

Obviously not, otherwise this discussion wouldn’t be happening. You get that right? This thread wouldn’t exist and there would be no point to talk about this at all.

Use some brain cells

Sarmyth,

OR you are stupid. I’m just not gonna sugercoat it by pretending adding “gamer” to “brain rot” means anything but you exposing your bias.

If you wanna call me stupid, just do that. Don’t tell on yourself.

A gamer is the target audience of the article and this community.

IllIIllIllIIIIl, (edited )

So much entitlement with you lol, yeah and the article is calling you out for being whiney children and demanding things from devs at an unnecessary pace.

Sarmyth,

The article is attempting to move the established goal posts for expectations. Stop shilling for these guys. You don’t need to carry their water. The devs know this, which is why they’ve kept pace. They’re just bitching about having to.

It’s so unreasonable yet we do it. Woe is us.

IllIIllIllIIIIl,

Holy shit you’re a fucking moron, dude.

Sarmyth,

The feeling is mutual.

ms_lane,

Both are true though.

If you want to release your game in Early Access, you should expect to update the game and community frequently.

If you want to buy a game (early access or not), take a look if it’s what you want to play right now, never buy any game, software, service or device that is promising the functionality you want will be coming later. If it does come later, buy it then, never buy on promises.

Before you throw stones be advised that this team is like 5 people at most, the game just blew up and some gamers are giving it the Valheim treatment wanting faster and faster updates.

RinseDrizzle,

Such a childish take expecting AAA speed from tiny homebrew dev teams imo. Obviously progress is going to come slower in most instances, they don’t have a tiny island nation’s worth of man power to throw. That and, I’m sorry, if my homebrew passion project blows up stupid big when I go for early access for seed money / water testing, I promise you I will be taking time off to celebrate the accomplishment.

This shit is a grind. Lots of dedication over a long period of time. Go on, hit that resort life for a minute, you earned it. Come back and finish up when you get some r&r. 🤙

Obviously still expecting progress down the line, but if I’m supporting early access I know what I’m getting into. Indie scene is where the love is, but it’s ma & pa shit. Plus there’s thousands of other ways to waste my time, I’ll check back in later if I’m bored with the game’s current build.

Waiting sucks, but chill. Save outrage for where it really matters, like genuinely shitty devs. Juuust my pocket change. 🙌

Riiiight… it’s the users of the product that is forcing the producers to work under toxic conditions, and totally not their money-grubbing capitalist bosses.

Riiiight.
