GrammatonCleric, do games w The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

WTF does this have to do with gaming?

mothersprotege,

Seriously. This doesn’t belong here. I don’t know why PCG is wading into some youtuber controversy that seems to have only the most tenuous connection to their bailiwick.

FARTYSHARTBLAST, do games w Shadowrun 2007 almost had a System Shock-style singleplayer campaign

Fuck you Microsoft.

Kolanaki, do gaming w Bards are Baldur's Gate 3's best class and I can't imagine playing it as anything else
!deleted6508 avatar

Bard is always the first thing I play in D&D crpgs that let me. It’s a great class that lets you do a little bit of everything. Plus it’s great to do a face-melting lute solo as the last thing you do before ending your turn, since Performance is a free action.

Kovu, do games w Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site
@Kovu@lemmy.world avatar

please, fandom is one of the worst sites on the internet

subtext,

When the old school RuneScape wiki moved to a self hosted solution it was night and day the quality difference. I’d argue that OSRS (and probably regular RS) have some of the best wikis in gaming.

Marshezezz, do games w Capcom doubles down on its decision to go pay-per-view during the Street Fighter League despite the fact that nobody really likes it

Come to think of it, the Covenant have a lot in common with American brand millennial Evangelists. Leaning really hard on immanentising the eschaton.

Bytemeister,

There is still time to stop the key from turning.

The Master Chief needs to finish the fight. Fuck up the (Trump) covenant

Zahille7,

Damn, now I want a mod that replaces all Covenant enemies with these fascists, and replace all their voice lines with actual quotes they’ve said.

You could do Stephen Miller for the Prophets, Trump for the Elites, and maybe Alex Jones or something for the Grunts.

fox2263,

You kill a grunt and it screams “they’re turning the frogs gay”

clot27, do games w Krafton is now an 'AI-first company,' will spend $70 million on a GPU cluster to 'serve as the foundation for accelerating the implementation of agentic AI'

Hell no bruh

jlow, do games w If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing'
@jlow@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I cant remember what the letdown actually was that you got but getting cryptoscammed woud be even worse in any case, so thank goodness time traveling isn’t possible.

rainwall, (edited )

The “win” was to become the first god king in his next actual game, which let players compete/pay in a shared world for nobility/etc. The hook was that if you were god king, you got a cut of the money the game made.

That game was never released with the above feature, and they entirely ignored the “cube” game winner for years after the initial PR blitz. He got nothing at all besides some merch and a trip to their office. Eurogamer wrote a great piece about it years ago.

viking, do gaming w Vampire Survivors-like Megabonk makes megabucks, selling a million copies in 2 weeks, and currently has more daily players than Borderlands 4 on Steam

This game is really fun. I’m impressed by the efficiency of the programming as well. Even in survive mode at the end of a level, getting attacked by probably thousands of monsters constantly, there was no hint of a slowdown on my modest gaming computer running Linux.

theangriestbird,

Yeah that part is amazing! I’ve noticed that a lot of the projectiles are 2d sprites, I wonder how much that helps the framerate. It’s impressive no matter how you slice it.

yermaw, do games w Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

I really cant wait for this generation of kids to grow up and start dealing with bills and shit. The moment they learn the true value of money this whole trend of buying lootboxes and packing players will die on its arse so fast.

I just hope theres some fly on the wall footage of the boards faces when they realise.

viking,
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

You think? That generation will have kids who buy the same crap and won’t listen to their parents, just like the kids now don’t listen.

yermaw,

Im hoping so. We don’t have the receipts to show them. Were just grandpa’s who yearn for the good old days and we just dont get it.

Akrenion,

I know adults who boost their ego with lootboxes. Beating the peasants by spending money that others use for groceries is how they feel superior.

Joeffect,

Yeah no… the fucked thing is they don’t care … everything is fucked… spending a bit of money on cheap plastic brings you a little bit of joy… why worry about money if you don’t even have much? You can’t get ahead so at least you can be happy… thats where we are…

ShaggySnacks,

Gotta keep the bread and circuses going.

ExLisper,

You don’t grow out of an addiction.

mohaas,

They’ll just graduate to sports gambling.

jjjalljs,

I know plenty of adults who are really bad at money and paying bills.

Tm12,

You rang?

dubyakay,

They will just become packers at Amazon.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Unfortunately they don’t grow out of it. I have a friend who still spends upwards of hundreds of dollars on games, especially Gacha games. It’s an addiction that i worry won’t be stopped

whereyaaat, do games w Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

That’s kind of an upgrade, at this point.

Bioware has essentially existed to pander to a very small minority for the past decade. I don’t think they’re capable of making a good game anymore, but at least they won’t get any support from anyone for their mediocrity.

SereneSadie,

BioWare created the first canonically gay character in Star Wars.

Take your bigoted shit out.

dubyakay,

canon

Doubt.

mugita_sokiovt, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm
@mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online avatar

Their bottom line of money making remains unchanged. Now, Kushner and the Saudi Royal Family will also be involved… and this is a mess waiting to happen.

Absolute BS from Wilson here.
