Loved the Ori series!

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.

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.

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

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.

It also released a Naughty Pack of more mature games though considering most players like to make the basic games rude, it’s unclear how popular these have been.

The Naughty pack was disappointing. 3 okay games for $20. 2 of them were games we’ve seen before. For $30 you could grab Party Pack 7 which is infinitely better.

I never pay full price for any of the games, they always have a few discounted and rotate through their full catalog eventually.

MeekerThanBeaker,

They also released The Jackbox Survey Scramble last year which was surprisingly fun.

simple,

This one I played. It’s a cool idea but many of the survey answers are just really stupid. I swear sometimes they just asked 14 y/o shitposters online instead of real people.

MeekerThanBeaker,

Yeah. I know what you mean. We still have fun playing it and just take it as it is.

Anyone can answer the questions at the main menu so maybe it’ll get better over time.

I can’t imagine it will be free and actually useable in any form.

Free*

*except you can only play one game in 24 hrs. *you can only play with four people *there is only a small set of prompts available

maniclucky,

Actually, that part I’m not worried about. Jackbox is one of my friends go-to end of party games. It’s all through your phone and accommodates a good amount of people, slightly game dependent.

criitz,

Yeah, but thats for money.

moody,

It’s also entirely possible that you can’t host any of the games. If the host owns the game, anyone else can play for free through a browser. It could just be access to the jackbox.tv website from the TV itself.

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

Meanwhile the game will break records and sell switch systems cause people are fucking morons.

I’ve said similar things about many switch games. Even Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom might be fun games, but they are legitimately crappie than they should be. The world’s are very empty and often times look like PS2 quality textures and shapes. The frame rates are also appalling at times. Like no consideration for performance and art direction with so much Nintendo trash, and people still eat it up.

It’s also ok to wish that they run at a consistently smooth framerate. It’s one thing to look like crap and it’s another to both look like crap and run like it too. I’ve been playing Palworld on medium for the past couple of weeks and it was pretty jarring going from that to seeing the Legends Z-A footage.

I agree, the last genuinely pretty game was Emerald, imo. Diamond and beyond is where 3D assets started weakening the art direction, imo. Either keep the beautiful pixel art, or do proper cel shaded graphics, like windwaker. Personally, I’d stick with pixel art for the strongest possible art direction.

LucidNightmare,

Random, but you should check out Emerald Seaglass! Beautiful art style combination!

Oooh, that does look pretty!

And they attack Palworld for being derivative

If they spent on bettering themselves, even half of what they employed to attack others..

DoucheBagMcSwag,

But that actually requires effort and money
