Mine is still a @yahoo login but I wont hit 20 years until February.

EveningPancakes,

I guess I was dumb when creating it back then.

EveningPancakes,

Mine is @yahoo, really wish I could change it.

scottywh,

If you still have access to the original email address you can definitely change it.

EveningPancakes, (edited )

Hmm I’ve definitely changed the email that was associated with the account name, but the account name I think originally required an email domain in the field? That is something that you cannot change. It’s fine though, because the user name can be changed.

Found it on the FAQ, Account ID can’t be changed - help.steampowered.com/en/…/2816-BE67-5B69-0FEC

scottywh,

My account becomes 20 years old in 5 days and I’ve never had an email domain in the account name.

EveningPancakes,

Yeah I dunno, maybe I was dumb back then but I’ve seen others posting similar questions/observations on Reddit and elsewhere before. Thankfully Steam lets you change the display profile name.

It was basically GameSpy, but better.

GameSpy was a universal server browser.

If you ever used the server browser in Steam itself and not from the game, that’s basically what they were. An external app that you could get a list of servers for pretty much anything you added to it.

mojo, do gaming w Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance

There’s two online games I play. Guild Wars 2 and Genshin Impact. Guild Wars has you filled with your inventory a lot, especially as a new player. It’s a massive turn off. Genshin just has a big mega inventory where items are sorted by tab (like character upgrade material tab), and has practically infinite inventory size. It technically has a limit of like 9999 but that’s not going to be anywhere close to what a normal person gets. Definitely prefer that system.

Both those games should label a ton of unusable items as trash, so when you pick them up, they go to a separate tab. Just today I spent like 20 minutes managing my inventory in Balders gate, and it was a pain to survive until I found another vendor.

On the one hand, Annapurna seems to know what they’re doing - Nimona was fantastic. On the other hand, I think it’s going to be hard to make this into a movie. I’m assuming they’ll focus on the journey of the cat and the environment around it, but they’ll have to fill all of the other space, hopefully with the robots and their personalities.

I hope the cat in the movie will look more natural than the one in the game.

In the game, the animation looks great. I’m sure they took a lot of effort with the motion capture.

But there is something weird about the cat’s face. It just doesn’t look like a cat, no realistically, not cartoonish either. Perhaps some adjustment in the facial modelling will help.

Yes, that’s to be expected, a videogame has to compromise a lot on the assets they use. A movie should be able to get something more polished up

jjjalljs, do gaming w Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Accessibility Features Let You Slow Down Gameplay - IGN

Is this a single player game? Then cool, 100%, love it. Co-op? Probably fine, but I’d have some implementation questions.

Pvp? I ate the biggest backlash I’ve had on the Internet on another forum when I argued that players shouldn’t be able to unilaterally make the game easier for just themselves in a competitive game, and I’m still mad about it.

monolift,

To some extent. But why can’t you just match those with like-for-like accessibly features turned on?

jjjalljs,

That’s probably fine. Like if you want to play with triple iframes you can play with other people that have triple iframes (or who said they’re ok with that). I just don’t think you should be able to adjust your iframes whenever you want. Like, not in the middle of a match you’re losing.

I don’t know how to solve match making if you have a lot of those settings. Like if you can change iframes, parry frames, max health, max stamina, max incoming damage, min outgoing damage, and so on, that’s an explosive set of variables. You’d be lucky to find someone with your exact settings. Which is maybe fine? Maybe most people would use the defaults.

But the last time I had this conversation, some guy was adamant he should be able to play with me even if he has his settings tweaked to be nigh indestructible.

pizza-bagel,

When did games go from being something fun to do, to people getting so serious about them that they would rather fuck over a bunch of disabled people than lose a game?

Whenever I play competitive games I see people raging in the comments like every game, and it's usually people who aren't doing very good that round because they want to blame everyone else for losing. Idk why y'all are paying $60+ just to be angry the entire time. Fuck around and have fun, it's not that serious.

It's so bad you're STILL mad about a hypothetical situation that doesn't even exist. Spiderman 2 is single player. If it was competitive, and disabled people being able to play ruins your life sooo much, then don't play it. Crisis averted.

jjjalljs,

I know I said I’m still mad about it but you seem like really mad in your comment.

I don’t see how anything I said has to do with fucking over disabled people.

I didn’t say anything about raging.

It’s not for you to tell people how seriously to take their hobbies.

I didn’t say disabled people shouldn’t be able to play it. How did you come to that conclusion?

pizza-bagel, (edited )

Yes, I do get upset when people act like disabled people needing accommodations is ruining their life. For obvious reasons. Disabled people had no accommodations in games for literal decades and suddenly able bodied people act like it's the end of the world when they start getting introduced. The difference is that some disabled people literally cannot play when you have a choice. And ranting, on multiple forums, about how accommodations will ruin your hypothetical competitive game that doesn't even exist yet!

And games are not the only scenario, I see a similar attitude in every instance where disabled people are granted accomodations.

You want accomodations to not exist in certain scenarios. Your comment was clear.

jjjalljs,

You’re not engaging with what I’m actually saying. I’m not saying accomodations are ruining my life.

It feels to me like what you’re saying is that “Accommodations” has an unbound scope. Anything and everything can be changed in the name of accommodations. Double your health in street fighter? Fine. See the other players hands in Poker. Sure. Turn on slow-mo in Quake9? Well okay.

And any of those things might be fine and fun if everyone playing agrees. Maybe you’re new at poker and I want to show one of my cards as a boost to you, the rookie. But for you to walk into a game and be like “yo I need to see your cards to play” seems egregious.

Maybe that’s not what you meant.

Maybe for you this is a “for me it was Tuesday.” You’ve possibly spent your whole life arguing with assholes like me who can just take their presumably abled asses and just walk away when it’s no longer interesting to them. I’m sorry for your struggles and injustices. You don’t really owe me anything.

@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

I'm not sure what you're on about but he wasn't complaining about Spider-Man 2. He even said if a game is 1P, then he's fine with any settings a player wants.

His complaint was about competitive games and I think it's a fair complaint (albeit a bit off topic) I don't think it's in your (or anyone else's) purview to tell others what games are or aren't about nor how seriously they should take their games.

We have entire competitive (and, imo, friendly) communities centered around competition and the notion that the rules are the same for everyone.

Lininop,

How would it even be possible to slow time for one player and not the other?

jjjalljs,

You could give bullet time to one player while the other moves and controls slowly. Or you could give one player bigger iframes to sort of approximate it.

Like, for one player they’re invulnerable for a full two seconds after pushing dodge, but the other player is only invulnerable for a quarter second.

Lots of ways to try

But as someone else in this thread said, this was kind of me going off topic. Slightly related but not exactly what the article was about.

Zapp,

Don’t make me point to the sign with people standing on boxes in front of a fence.

This should be very easily solved with matchmaking lobby settings.

Anyway, most accessibility settings are either something every competitive player should be using anyway (reasonable color contrast settings, HUD tweaks for clarity) or things that only people who need them despately would ever use (remapping all buttons to be able to play using only a stick in the players mouth, because they have no hands).

This seems to me like a total non-issue. And in the very few cases it is, the ranked lobbies can just diable that setting.

The backlash was probably because for you and I a harmed pvp experience is a “could happen” while for a bunch of gamers the lack of accessibility is a daily undeniable part of their reality. For some people, games are a critical sanity-saving retreat from the rest of their life. Let’s let them have their tweaks outside of ranked play.

jjjalljs,

I don’t have problems with control changes, subtitles, HUD stuff, all the things that are typically considered accessibility. I reject the idea that any arbitrary piece of a multiplayer game can be unilaterally changed in the name of accessibility. Which is maybe not a take any reasonable person has., but it’s one I’ve encountered.

But your last paragraph is probably right in that for them it was an emotionally charged “every day I deal with this bullshit” and I was coming off as “yeah but like what if i’m mildly inconvenienced one day?”.

It took Bungie years to do this for Destiny; Larian immediately begins to work on it in a couple weeks after release.

I love this studio, and how it's upending the AAA gaming standard. About time. I'm definitely buying it when it comes out on the PS5.

Just 3 months ago Kojima was sporting „Make TV Great Again” hat with zero backlash. I think people look for ways to be outraged.

Please downvote this more to prove my point about pointless tribalism.

Vodulas,

You mean in 2017 like the article pointed out. And maybe there should have been backlash for it. It was a shitty thing to do then, and an even worse thing to do now

There are more important things to get angry over. Getting angry over hats is just tribalism.

Natanael,

When the tribe which they’re appealing to is a death cult with a huge body count then that’s just being reasonable

misk,
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

Are hats your main issue with them? I don’t like organised religion but tend to focus on other things than their silly hats even though they are even sillier than MAGA ones.

mosiacmango,

Motherfucker decided to come out as MAGA on a global stage while journalists and protestors were being shot by rubber bullets and tear gassed just miles away. He was in range of the predator drones flying over head in a US city, and where Marines were illegally deployed to US soil for the first time in hundreds of years.

But nah dog, just ignore all that and play the game, the game that clearly supports all that. Cause focusing on what the dev clearly supports is not allowed for some reason because he wore it on a hat.

Ah yes, getting angry over someone appealing to fascists is just tribalism. My bad

apotheotic,

“I guess it wasn’t a safe space for autistic people” is an insane takeaway from being temp banned for talking about people fucking their mothers and how people downvoting you arouses you (on a thread about not using a right wing hate symbol).

As an autistic person I’m baffled you’d try to hide behind your neurodivergence here.
