Coasting0942, do gaming w Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

Steam should have taken the opportunity to recommend a gamer to GOG, mentioning that it’s only a license unfortunately. Or offer installers that can’t be taken away.

style99, do games w A Disco Elysium successor studio has been announced for the second time today, meaning there are now 4 companies battling for the title of ZA/UM's true inheritor

Oh, yeah. That reminds me. I still haven’t played Disco Elysium yet.

Ganbat,

I would personally recommend not purchasing it. Not saying don’t play it, but there’s no one who will profit from it who should.

FP1 was great

Potatos_are_not_friends, do games w The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO

Going to throw a shout out for Against The Storm.

It takes my favorite part of Age of Empires (setting up the dang base) and distills it into the perfect game.

Now if someone can figure out how to make the other half (the combat) really good.

someguy3, do games w The Divinity: Original Sin board game took 6 years to make because Larian was determined to do right by the series

So, is it good?

woodytrombone,

I have it but I haven’t even taken it out of shrink-wrap because I’m a terrible boardgamer. I’ll let you know in five years once my frosthaven campaign wraps up

simple,

I’ll let you know in five years once my frosthaven campaign wraps up

Frosthaven?! Playing that would imply that I got around to finishing Gloomhaven with my friends.

stsquad, do gaming w I tried two demos of machine learning AI NPCs, and they didn't convince me AI will lead to anything that immersive sims like Deus Ex haven't already done better

A bunch of generative filler text won’t games more immersive. Maybe there is some scope in giving the model hidden details you need to coax out of it LA Noire style but currently everything seems a bit gimmicky.

@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it could be a benefit for asking questions to NPCs devs didn’t think you’d want to ask that. Like asking a city resident where the market is. Probably not today but perhaps one day.

Jajcus,

Then every charakter would probably need his own AI model, otherwise everyone would know everything, which would not be immersive at all.

They would need their own preprompt, that’s all.

jmcs,

If you give LLMs that much latitude you are going to have your NPCs spread conspiracy theories and fascist crap left and right in your game and a PR crisis on your hands.

eskimofry, do gaming w Phil Spencer blames capitalism for games industry woes: 'I don't get [the] luxury of not having to run a profitable growing business'

Sounds like skill issue.

mindbleach, do gaming w So, looks like Putin's ordered the Russian government to 'consider the issue of organising' domestic versions of the Steam Deck, SteamOS, and Steam itself (with a side order of Steam Machines)

Ah, entering his crazed delirium stage of dictatorship.

Yeah, I can see why the US is falling to pieces.

mindbleach,

Dictatorship is when government doesn’t do things.

mindbleach,

Oh right, this is .ml, where we’re playing make-believe that the lifetime figurehead who won an election against nobody is toootally a legitimate example of popular democracy. Because it would be impossible to criticize The West™ unless the immediate alternative was completely flawless.

Inventing a domestic video-game company obviously isn’t totalitarian, but it’s some Kim Jong Un shit. It’s an autocrat copying a theme park, with blackjack, and hookers. (Oh god. Tell me I’m not gonna see people pretend the Kims are anything but a hereditary monarchy.)

Ilflish, do games w Fans of Pokémon-inspired MMO Temtem are arguing with the developer about what MMO means after Crema CEO says it's 'not feasible' to keep adding content forever

A Massively multiplayer online role playing game does not mean the game is a game as a service. It’s a route of finance just like some shooting games are and some aren’t.

Pistcow, do gaming w Wizards of the Coast confirms it is not selling the d&d IP to tencent

Yet*

Moira_Mayhem,

WoTC might not sell its DND IP but Hasbro could easily sell the entirety of WoTC to Tencent if they wanted to.

fushuan,

Isn’t MTG quite profitable? I don’t think they will sell all of wotc.

Jonny, do games w This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet
@Jonny@kbin.social avatar

Well I'm glad I managed to hear about it before they do! LA DX was my first Zelda game. Time to relive some memories in HD!

DemBoSain,
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

The Link’s Awakening remake on Switch is worth your time. I loved the original, and I loved the remake. I hope they continue bringing their old games forward like this (LA, Mario RPG, etc.)

Jonny,
@Jonny@kbin.social avatar

Oh don't you worry, I've completed it. But thank you :)

I agree, I thought it was great and I felt the art direction really fit the original perfectly!

I've been slowly working my way through 100%ing every Zelda game. Done almost all of them other than BotW & TotK.

BaroqBard, do games w Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and released

Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it’s become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between “chilled out,” familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.

DeadPand, do games w Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and released

Been playing it the last few weeks, pretty addicting

ABCDE,

Addictive

Ashyr,

Honestly, you’re wandering into prescriptive vs descriptive grammar on this one. How we use words changes over time. For example, it’s not nearly as big of a deal to to end sentences with a preposition anymore.

No need to be pedantic, the meaning is clear.

Addicting, especially for non-professional usage, is perfectly fine these days.

But I tend to be a descriptionist.

thorbot,

Addicting is a perfectly cromulent term to use in place of addictive

ABCDE,

Incorrect usage and descriptivism are still separable; it’s still not a word (yet), although that is arguable of course.

grahamja,

It’s English, there are no rules. Call the cops, no one cares.

dumpsterlid,

People really really reallllly want to believe there are laws of grammar/language like there are laws of physics and it is honestly kind of hilarious.

The power of language comes from there being no rules or laws, language is just the sum of what people choose to write and say. You can impose patterns on what people tend to write and say, but ultimately it is no different than looking into the night sky and deciding a couple of stars makes the shape of a lion and believing you have determined something fundamental about those stars.

ABCDE,
