dev_null, do gaming w Epic Adds Ugly Tesla Cybertruck To Fortnite

What’s up with everyone calling it ugly? It’s a shit car, but I think it looks cool. Something that has no place in reality, but fitting in a video game.

sleepybisexual,

Fitting in a Mario 64 romhack you mean

tomato,

People tend to judge everything Musk related like that. I also think it looks cool. I’d love to drive something this unusual.

dev_null,

The cybertruck has enough issues that I wouldn’t want one, but yeah I would like a car looking like that, if it was actually a good car not made by Tesla.

tomato,

What if it was a really good car but made by Tesla?

dev_null,

Then it would be good. But they already tried making one.

punkwalrus, do games w The First Borderlands Movie Clip Looks Like An SNL Skit
@punkwalrus@lemmy.world avatar

I remember hearing that some Hollywood contracts require that if you sign up for some studio, you must make X amount of films. Big stars get to chose those films to some degree, but once in a while, they have to do “a stinker” to end the contract as “X amount of films done, okay?” or something. Contractual Obligation and all. This film feels like a dumping ground of a lot of those contractual obligation hires from the trailer alone.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Requirements like that in the music industry are why there’s an excess of Christmas music albums. I like the idea that video game movies and other slush-level movies are the equivalent.

RampantParanoia2365,

Wouldn’t it be smarter to do a lower budget drama, then? This seems like an expensive throwaway.

@bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world avatar

True, but a movie like this, if successful, has a much higher potential profit than a small drama. As an actor, why not take a bit of a gamble on a big blockbuster for a potentially massive paycheck?

Good point! They could have even had a period accurate trailer, with that guy with the really deep voice like in movie trailers back then “A game, 20 years in the making…”

The sound of Internets!

I swear when I had dial up I could tell how fast my connection would be by the sound of the static. If it didn’t sound clean I’d get a crap connection and just hanging up and dialing a different connection number would do the trick.

Oh, trust me I know the 56k dance, too bad I never learned how to actually dance…

However! I have since purchased the game, and it is just as spicy as the reviews say :) level design is interesting, it throws in some puzzle mechanics between the gore fest

pete_the_cat, do gaming w Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game

So, they’re giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it’s received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it’s future proofed.

PolandIsAStateOfMind,
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

1.6 mods are also stable now, but of course Bethesda shits out the patches every now and then so you need to downgrade anyway, just to 1.6.

pete_the_cat,

They definitely are, I have been using 1.6 for a while, it’s just a pain in the ass to keep updating SKSE mods or those mods that support 1.6 but only older versions because the authors don’t make mods anymore.

reddig33, do games w Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking

Someone at Microsoft thinks they can sell the expensive razor blades without selling razors. Probably why they purchased Activision.

It’s a shame because Microsoft made some interesting hardware for a while.

    They’ve made a lot of good peripherals like keyboards, mice, joysticks. Xbox one used to support Kinect and TV tuners which was nice.

    The surface line has been interesting, and I’d be tempted to buy one if they didn’t come with Windows 11 (I need to look up if you can install Win 10 on the newer ones).

    They came out with some wild stuff during the Sidekick phone days like Microsoft Kin and Zune. But honestly current management doesn’t seem to be interested in anything but boring but profitable software services (like Xbox game pass) that they can charge a subscription for.

    Edit: I wish Zelicam hadn’t deleted his comments. They were good questions/conversation.

    _sideffect,

    Why did they delete their comments?

    At an old company I joined they had rolled them out to all employees. Six months before me getting onboard they had already given up, but we still had to support the ones out in the field. Fun fact about Surfaces, despite it being MS hardware running an MS operating system, the Windows 10 and 11 base system does not have drivers for the keyboard or mouse. You have to use a special image for the Surface devices. That meant maintaining two custom WIM images for deployment and keeping them in sync. We scrapped the remaining Surfaces and gave people the choice of Macs or ThinkPads instead. You can guess which was more popular among the office folk.

    alphapuggle, do gaming w Roku’s New HDMI Tech Could Show Ads When You Pause Your Game

    HTPC or Google TV. With Google TV you can at least ADB the shit away

    Kolanaki,
    !deleted6508 avatar

    Should be able to with Roku since they are also Android based. I’ve found a bunch of things to side load or modify any TV running on Android or based on Android… Which only sucks because I was looking for that kind of stuff for my shit-ass Samsung TV which isn’t Android based 😩

    alphapuggle,
    @alphapuggle@programming.dev avatar

    Roku is not android based, and doesn’t have an accessible ADB interface or similar

    Kolanaki,
    !deleted6508 avatar

    Aren’t .APKs only usable with Android systems? I’ve sideloaded .apks to my old Roku stick for things that weren’t on the official app manager.

    alphapuggle,
    @alphapuggle@programming.dev avatar

    As far as I’m aware they can only be used on Android. I did a search for APK on Roku and I all found were some articles erroneously calling custom channels APKs. Roku does let you side load custom channels in developer mode, but you can remove software like you can on an android box, so you’re always stuck with Roku’s ad riddled home page and whatever injects ads into HDMI

    squirrelwithnut, do gaming w Five Years Ago, Anthem Was A Warning

    I actually liked Anthem, and I wish it would have gotten more support to fix some of the problems. I think it had way more potential than some other GAAS that have come out recently. (cough Suicide Squad cough)

    The worst part about it for me was the really bad net code. Enemies would teleport around, shots wouldn’t register or register too late. And their relative damage system didn’t seem to work properly most of the time. It made the combat feel bad, but you could tell that the combat that was there would have felt amazing had the net code been refined a bit.

    There were other smaller problems too, but nothing that couldn’t have been addressed in patches. It really is a shame EA gave up on the game.

    LordGimp,

    If you liked anthem, might I suggest the mother of all robot ninja shooter games, Warframe?

    squirrelwithnut,

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I’ve tried Warframe several times and I just can’t get into it. The combat and movement feel too floaty to me, and I’m not a fan of the artificial wait times for getting or crafting gear. Story is also important to me to some degree, and there wasn’t really anything in the way in interesting characters or plot hooks in what I played. I know a lot of people like the game, but I don’t think it’s for me.

    LordGimp,

    I will agree the crafting system is incredibly unintuitive even before you get into the more obscure aspects like helminth or archon shards, but there is some story if you really want to dig for it. Honestly I was pretty firmly a casual player until I got to the chains of harrow and from there I was hooked. It’s not a constant thing for me, but a couple months out of the year I like to check back in and see what’s new. The movement and combat are big sellers for me though. I find myself reverting to/wanting the warframe movement system in pretty much every other game I play after lol

    squirrelwithnut,

    Yeah. The movement is what I’ve seen unanimously praised by people that like the game. I dunno, it’s been several years and several major patches/expansions since I’ve tried the game. Maybe I’ll give it another shot eventually. It’s F2P, so might as well try it every once in a while to see if it clicks.

    Katana314,

    Those have been my main issues too.

    I also just feel no sense of “identity” with such vague constructs of armor at war. Are they human? Are our enemies human? Does anyone have a face?
