Matty_r, do games w After stretching the definition of 'beta' for 8 years, Escape From Tarkov is finally hitting 1.0
@Matty_r@programming.dev avatar

Did they ever end up enabling Linux support?

@v01dworks@piefed.social avatar

No, but I was actually able to play some solo on Linux when I tested it, and the single player mod SPT works on Linux

I don’t believe online PVP works though

Truscape,

Nah, BSG hates linux. The Single Player Tarkov mod has a guide for it though.

Matty_r,
@Matty_r@programming.dev avatar

Didn’t even know that’s a thing. I definitely wouldn’t buy it just for that though

KoalaUnknown,

Nikitia (the CEO) said that Linux support will be looked into in the future but 1.0 is the current priority.

Matty_r,
@Matty_r@programming.dev avatar

We’ve heard promises like that in the past and its almost never come to fruition. So, I doubt that very much.

KoalaUnknown,

He didn’t promise anything; he said they would “look into it”.

Fucked that company to near death. You do not deserve retirement.

AstaKask, do games w ESO devs at ZeniMax reel from Microsoft's 'hollow' layoff emails, with some wondering how a 'carcass of workers' is 'supposed to keep shipping award-winning games'

Making award winning games aren’t the most effective way to make a quick buck. Getting children addicted to gambling is.

W3dd1e, do gaming w European game publisher group responds to Stop Killing Games, claims 'These proposals would curtail developer choice"

This entire argument is nonsense. With enough advance notification, all future games can be built with these rules in mind. If you are developing it in that way to begin with it’s not going to require any extra work.

echodot, do games w Randy Pitchford asks fans if they'd swallow future Borderlands exclusivity deals, almost 10,000 people say just put your damn games on Steam

The ego on this guy is just unprecedented. It’s Borderlands, most people can take it or leave it.

TipRing,

My take is that Borderlands 1 was boring, Borderlands 2 had decent game play but was held up by excellent writing and characterization and every Borderlands game since has been trying to recapture the magic of the second game but just feels hollow. They aren’t terrible, but they aren’t amazing either.

NotBillMurray,

I feel like borderlands 1 was boring but had some high points, but the dlc really started to capture what the series would become. The general Knox dlc is still one of my favorites.

What we can? How? I’ve been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra

Lost_My_Mind,

Well see thats you’re problem. Ditch cobra and join J.I JOOOOEEEEEE!!!

Then you can be paid under minimum wage to risk your life fighting in unjust wars, only to find your government abandons you and any help you were promised for injuries or complications to your daily lifestyle as a result of your time in the service.

See? 'MURICA!

drmoose, do games w Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital

As a software engineer i always found nexus simply archaic. Hot take but the molding industry might be better off with a new mod index.

hazl,

Here’s how it goes with half the games I mod these days.

  1. Game not manageable in Vortex out of the box
  2. Find the extension that makes the game manageable
  3. All popular mods are based on one single mod that acts as a framework or SDK for those other mods
  4. That prerequisite mod isn’t well maintained on Nexus, and the author recommends using $otherModManager to manage this game
drmoose,

Funny how all of that is straight up solved with any package manager or even git itself (with submodules) for free and yet gaming community is protecting some proprietary burning heap of garbage.

pory,
@pory@lemmy.world avatar

The main problem in your setup is you installed Vortex. It and its prior incarnation Nexus Mod Manager have always been a thorn in actual mod developers’ sides. Mod devs can easily tell you where to extract the zip to, and what dependencies you need. Any load order manager type thing will always be better when designed specifically for the game you’re running. Having an “easy one click GUI!!!” doesn’t actually help anybody because modding different games isn’t a universally systematic process.

Blaiz0r,

It should all be open source.

First thing is mods should just exist on free hosting providers for source code like GitHub/Lab etc.

Then an optional mod manager software that can import mods from these sources.

Non of this really needs a centralised community, these places already exist thanks to other better suited services like social media

Ibuthyr,

But social media is 95% turbocancer…

Blaiz0r,

I mean things like Discord and Revolt, even Reddit is better for communities to discuss things about mods than the Nexus site

Ibuthyr,

I didn’t down vote you, but Discord is a huge offender regarding enshittification of the internet. Reddit might even be worse.

Blaiz0r,

That’s not my point though, they’re much better at holding discussion and keeping people updated than the Nexus mods site was

JeeBaiChow, do games w Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'

Maybe the suits can fix that in a week by using AI.

/s btw

jonne,

Hey ChatGPT, code a new island!

WanderingThoughts,

Players: it’s not unique enough and that makes it boring. It’s like they rushed this one with some standard stuff.

Genius, do games w After saying negative reviews 'might just cause our death' and 'we've got a few months left in the oven', No Rest for the Wicked CEO claims he never said they were in 'immediate financial danger'

This man is a cartoon. I love him. He sucks so bad.

OneRedFox, do gaming w Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO
@OneRedFox@beehaw.org avatar

And so the hell-loop continues. Matrix seems like the closest successor, but having used it for awhile I would describe the experience as janky-but-workable. Signal’s good, but requires a phone number. I hear that Mumble’s good, but it’s overly focused on VoIP. Hopefully the alternatives polish themselves up before the enshittification gets too bad.

MaggiWuerze,
@MaggiWuerze@feddit.org avatar

You can nowadays create a signal account without a phone number, you’ll get a user name instead

OneRedFox,
@OneRedFox@beehaw.org avatar

Oh? When did they change that?

nixnoodle,

I also thought you could create an account without your phone number nowadays, but since I already have a phone-connected account, I haven’t tested. Only thing I found in their blog was this: signal.org/blog/phone-number-privacy-usernames/

Until now, someone needed to know your phone number to reach you on Signal. Now, you can connect on Signal without needing to hand out your phone number. (You will still need a phone number to register for Signal.) This is where usernames come in.

There are some newer post about other changes, but I haven’t checked them in detail.

MaggiWuerze,
@MaggiWuerze@feddit.org avatar

Pretty recently I think

Kichae,

There’s a huge opportunity not just for Matrix, but also for other open source or distributed players here, if they can move quickly enough.

They won’t, though.

biteychan,

I use Matrix, but like a lot of the Fediverse (I know it’s technically a different protocol, but still), it’s not normie friendly. If it were more plug n play it might take off. I just don’t look forward to when they’ll have ads or start making us pay. It’s so tiring shuffling from platform to platform because of some greedy CEO.

M137, do games w PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now
@M137@lemmy.world avatar

When people found out PhysX doesn’t work on the new Nvidia cards I saw several people here on Lemmy say that it doesn’t matter because almost no one plays older games. I seriously don’t understand how anyone could think that, it’s astoundingly stupid and ignorant.

“Every monster is the Butcher”

grrgyle,

A Butcher that stalked you from the shadows like a kobold would be terrifying

DarkDarkHouse, (edited )
@DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Diablo had great lighting effects. In the catacombs you’d see a flash of movement in the dark, before being attacked by a goat demon who had used the darkness to get around behind you. The later instalments in the series made enemies much more visible, and lost something for it.

grrgyle,

Yes! I was trying to explain this at a PoE 2 launch party but no one got it. I know Diablo is likely dated in a lot of ways, but unlike with other entries, I remember actually getting scared while playing it. Like it actually felt like overcoming an ordeal.

nesc,

Fresh meat!

DrSleepless,

You play as the butcher

njm1314, do gaming w Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

I can’t even begin to imagine how fucking lame and cringe a game made by Elon Musk would be. Much less how buggy and unplayable.

glimse,

You play as doge and collect dogecoins to spend on memes. The game is called X and it runs a crypto miner on your gpu when you play it (you get coins in game, Elon gets coins in real life).

You can pay for X premium for $10/month which unlocks cosmetics and lets you access the members-only chatroom

pivot_root,

The cosmetics are all unique and non-fungible, and can be resold to other X premium users for real-world money in the form of credit that can be used to buy different tokens cosmetics.

Snowclone,

Considering the growth he’s experienced from his 20s to now, he’ll probably try and make a Quake 2 clone.

bassomitron, do games w To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks

Straight representation? Lol, what? Like every major branching choice RPG with romance options offers plenty of hetero choices (Witcher, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldurs Gate, Cyberpunk 2077, etc). Even in Veilguard, the first AAA game I’ve played that offers nonbinary choices, still has plenty of hetero representation. Culture wars are so god damn exhausting and unwinnable.

inb4_FoundTheVegan,
@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

These are the same people mad at “woke” games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.

I hate it here. 🙃

RageAgainstTheRich, do games w To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks

Huh, suddenly the crying straight gamers care about representation… 🤔

Tudsamfa,
@Tudsamfa@lemmy.world avatar

Apart from them straights not being a Monolith, I feel there is a difference between not being represented and being actively excluded. You know, one is bad and one is worse.

You can and should leave a “Need a ____ tag” at the forum then. Don’t know why the article is so snarky about that, the poster of that seemed reasonable enough on the first 2 pages.
