I am a big fan of it, but I basically only play vanilla Minecraft on my server with friends

setsneedtofeed, do games w People seem to really dislike Destiny 2. Why haven't they ended it yet?
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

Probably because it makes a ton of money. The opinions of people who post online represent a small fraction of people who play games.

CodingCarpenter,

This is very true. I play less than I used to but I’m still in a very active clan and I still drop money occasionally hun pretty things from the store or DLC items

And most of those people keep playing anyway lol

xavier666,

4000 hours on record

Review: I spent over $500 worth of DLC on this game but I hate it! They never implemented the features community asked for.

Devs: And we love you for that!

LouNeko, do games w New Starfield free update added a ground vehicle

I would love to get a code break down and see how Bethesda spaghetti recoded the Skyrim horse mechanic into a vehicle.

Aggravationstation, do gaming w I even remember taking batteries from a smoke detector once.

I think this is why smoke detectors take 9-volt batteries now.

DannyMac,

Haven’t they always taken 9v?

Fredy1422,

they have, although some do take AA or AAA batteries but its very uncommon. some especially carbon monixide dectectors have internal batteries that require replacement.

variants,

We just bought new smoke detectors and they take AA, I bought a 9v just out of assumption and got home and was blown away

GladiusB,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

9v are just two AAs wrapped together. So not surprised.

randombullet,

Eh not quite. AA are 1.5v so two would only be 3v.

You might be thinking of the big 6v lantern batteries. They’re usually 4 x 1.5v cells together.

GladiusB,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

I thought I watched some YouTube video where they linked them and it worked. But who knows how accurate the numbers were. I guess not since you know.

bitchkat,

Get the ones with the built in 10 year battery. Smoke and CO2 combo.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

Unrelated but a few days ago I found out you’re not supposed to stick two 9v’s together when I burnt the shit outta my fingertips :3

BradleyUffner,

Yeah… That’s basically creating a short circuit. Don’t do that.

Lath, do games w "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know"

To be fair to them, I don't know either.

invertedspear, do gaming w I miss manuals...

Why are there clips for a manual yet never a manual or even an info card? Seems like this started in the PS3/360/Wii generation.

Godort,

Some games come with an insert or a manual, but it’s rare.

And it’s cheaper to have only one case design rather than two

TootSweet,

Yeah, as Godort said, some games do come with manuals. The Knights of the Old Republic (the first one) port to the Switch is one example. (Presumably KOTOR II as well.)

FlihpFlorp, do gaming w Still one of the cleverest moments in gaming history

OOTL here probably before my time mind explaining?

In the first Metal Gear Solid there was a character named Psycho Mantis who had a lot of psychic/mind reading gimmicks. One such way of doing so was to input read everything from your controller and blocking all of your attacks. Another way was reading your memory card and talking about the games you play, name dropping them specifically and talking about genres. All of that is really clever on its own but to get around his input reading you had to plug the controller into the second player slot as he wasn’t able to read that “mind”.

state_electrician,

He also commented on that, just nicely done overall.

FlihpFlorp,

That is really cool

Hazmatastic,

In addition to what the other user said, at one point he makes it so only Player 2 can control your character, so you either needed to run to the console to switch your controller port or pick up a second controller if you had one on standby.

He also tries to make you think your console shut off. Old tvs commonly used blue/green/black screens that said the name of the selected input port at the top, like VIDEO 2. This fight had a part where a blue screen came up that said HIDEO 2 at the top, a nod to the creator Hideo Kojima. Many players thought their consoles turned off and tried to reboot them… effectively erasing unsaved data. It only lasted a few seconds though, so most people realized before it was too late.

He also mind controls your companion, but that’s a bit more common to see.

Tier1BuildABear, do gaming w Oh trust me. I know your frustration better than you do.
@Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world avatar

If you wanted everything in the video game to mimic your real life, just go outside. Video games have always existed as an escape, to put ourselves into a situation we’d normally never find ourselves in, to live a life we can’t in the real world. If pretending to be gay for a few hours threatens your sexuality in a way that pretending to be a superhero for a few hours doesn’t threaten your abilities, maybe that says more about your sexuality than it does about the game?

So many non-plumber people who were forced to play as plumber in Super Mario games. So many humans were forced to play as undead and orcs in WoW. Imagine the torture!!!

query,

Well, Super Mario and WoW are opposites in how many options you have. Forsaken is one of the few I never played.

Although for fantasy games, some people don’t want to play humans at all, because they’re too relatable.

Oh, the game where you could choose between the furry-suiter plumber, or his occasionally crossdressing brother. Thats pretty diverse, right?

DerisionConsulting, do gaming w Only $1000? Pfft

If the hospital stay isn’t free, your governement hates you.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

As an American, that’s been painfully obvious for like 70 years.

JJROKCZ, do games w FTC fails to redact Microsoft document, revealing an old Bethesda release schedule

So considering that starfield got pushed 2 years it’s safe to assume Elder scrolls 6 got pushed at least that as well so 2026/7 for that, a full 15 years after elder scrolls 5

Dasnap,
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

But you got so many ESO expansions in that time! /s

JJROKCZ,

I played ESO at release and had a lot of fun for a bit, now I understand it’s moved to a f2p game with a thousand expansions so I’m super behind and I just don’t feel like catching back up or trying it again as I’m just not into online stuff much anymore

jettrscga,

MMOs don’t feel practical these days with so many games to play. Who has that much time to dedicate to one game?

I’m not sure if the game market has changed, or just my perspective of time. Probably both.

dudewitbow,

Bit of both, people have less time on average, and its hard to break into the MMO market when its only dominated by giants due to the amount of content required to make a competant mmo.

There is still a huge market though.

isthingoneventhis,

I hate thinking about how old I will be when it gets released and how young I was when I saw the stupid trailer for it. BLEGH.

slazer2au, do games w This should be illegal

Pretty big assumption that you own something digital you paid for. Let’s be honest, you paid for a license not a product.

kolorafa,

I concur Buyer should not gain rights to product, so they should not be allowed to profit from it, but they should be able to preserve it, unless the license that you actually buy had a time limitation, but that should be clearly stated when you buy it that you only buy access to it to (at least) X amount of time like you have with online subscriptions.

Rai,

That’s why pirating is completely based.
