@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Oh great, it’s not like the Kotaku redesign ages ago?

That shit was a mess. They went from a gaming news site to a blog about whatever SEO shit they could crap out.

MelonYellow, do games w Final Fantasy 1-6 Pixel Remaster games 20% off through this weekend

The PS1 games on Android are also 50% off. Although on my device, I can’t buy them directly because it’s “not compatible”. But I can buy it on an older device, and it will be available for download.

jawa21, do games w The RPG that inspired Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Demon’s Souls is now more playable than ever - Wizardry!
@jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’ve never had the drive to beat any of the Wizardry games.They are simply too difficult for this filthy casual.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

You might enjoy CRPG Addict’s blog posts about his adventure in Wizardry for DOS.

I beat it through emulation and save scumming, but his playthrough was a lot more tactical, and now Im starting to understand I’m not support to just hit the attack button over and over again!

rodneylives,

DOS Wizardry has a significant bug that makes it one of the worst versions.

khab, do scifi w The dirty secret to making sci-fi believable
@khab@kbin.social avatar

This was the whole ethos of the first Star Wars films - Lucas made a point of getting everything look worn, to the point of having a term for it: the "used universe". Exemplified by C-3PO's whole look, Luke's clothes or even Han Solos's sweaty shirt.

It's a shame he seems to have completely forgotten this when it was time to make the prequels...

Friendship,
@Friendship@kbin.social avatar

I'd argue it wasn't forgotten in the prequels. Most of the characters and plot revolves around and is supported by very large well funded organizations (Republic, Trade Federation, ect) which means the clothing and equipment they have is less likely to be worn down. The same can be seen in the original trilogy with the Empire, storm troopers and imperial ships are well polished and not "used".

woelkchen, (edited ) do games w Phil Spencer wants Epic Games Store and others on Xbox consoles
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Fun fact: Microsoft can already do that: Just ship a Windows container VM on Xbox.

Edit: Apparently “container” is the wrong term.

Defaced,

Have you ever tried to setup a Windows container let alone one on an Xbox? Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit, just look at azure Linux, it’s the entire reason for it’s existence

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_Linux

Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit

The Xbox System Software contains a heavily modified Hyper-V hypervisor (known as NanoVisor) as its host OS and two partitions. One of the partitions, the “Exclusive” partition is a custom virtual machine (VM) for games; the other partition, the “Shared” partition is a custom VM for running multiple apps including the OS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_system_software#System

Xbox already runs two VMs. Just throw in a third with real Windows.

Defaced,

A VM and a container are two completely different pieces of technology…

A VM and a container are two completely different pieces of technology…

I’m sorry I mixed up the terminology. I was sure the point of “Microsoft can ship Windows with Xbox” came across no matter what.

Defaced,

No worries, it’s an understandable mistake.

hoshikarakitaridia, do gaming w Gigantic is coming back?!

Same, I missed the beta by one day and I’m so hyped

eeyun,
@eeyun@lemmy.world avatar

Here’s hoping it makes a splash and can stick around this time. I feel like unfortunately there are so many good games to be playing at any time these competitive online games are so much more likely to fail even if they’re extremely high quality.

Blue_Morpho, do scifi w Frank Herbert always thought Star Wars was a Dune ripoff

Click bait. This is from an interview from before Herbert saw Star Wars.

“while Herbert hadn’t yet seen the movie, he did have some thoughts about its similarities to his seminal series,”

Although it goes on to say that Herbert continued to have resentment for Starwars for the rest of his life.

Heretics of Dune:

“He’s a three P-O,” they said, meaning that such a person surrounded himself with cheap copies made from déclassé substances.

Don’t even get me started on Fern Gully being a rip-off of Dune!

Blackmist, do gaming w 2K pulls Spec Ops: The Line from digital stores without warning

Music rights again?

sic_semper_tyrannis, do gaming w Capcom adds new DRM to old PC games, raising worries over mods

This is why I only buy DRM free games from GoG and download them forever so my copy stays the way it should be. With me and DRM free.

Endorkend, do games w Watch a 13-year-old become the first person to ever beat Classic Tetris
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Why did Polygon include the CTWC video at the top of their page instead of BlueScuti's?

They are already stealing his views reposting his entire video with some bullshit commenting from them over the top of it and now Polygon is supporting that kind of behavior.

The kid did the work, give him the damn views.

ttsci,

Thanks for mentioning the original source! Here’s BlueScuti’s video, to save everyone else some searching. The moment he beats it is here, at 38:30.

Firipu, do gaming w Mimimi Games revived a genre, pushed it forward, and then shut down
@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

My favo games from the past few years. I absolutely adored every single one of them. Sad to see them go. This final dlc is on the expensive side imo, but I got them all, just to show support. I do very much look forward to playing them.

Zehzin, do games w PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan stepping down in March
@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

Good. The last few years made me lose any interest in them as a punisher.

Sony is out for justice

lowleveldata, do games w PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan stepping down in March

What could have caused this? The recent price increase?

remotelove,
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

It’s in the article.

lowleveldata,

I only see “a factor of decision” from Ryan’s side in the article. That’s likely nothing at all other than PR talk.

remotelove, (edited )
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

Ryan cited difficulties in “striking the right balance” between his home in the U.K. and his job in the U.S. as a factor in his decision to retire.

So, yeah. Thats it.

Pxtl, do gaming w It shouldn’t be this hard to play old Armored Core games
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

If you’re trying to do it legally, you can easily to rip your own ps1 games with a drive bay. Haven’t tried it on PS2 or ps3 games. And ps1 emulation runs amazing on phones and raspberry pis.

So my ps1 emulation collection is pretty legit.

We shall not speak of the other consoles.

theComposer, do gaming w Palia is the perfect game for chill vibes, either alone or co-op

I’m still confused about this game. Is it truly an MMO where hundreds of players will be running around the main towns? How will the game handle all these players romancing the same characters, for instance?

Or is it like other multiplayer survival games where it’s just you and your friends sharing a persistent world?

CraigeryTheKid,

looks like your “home” is instanced and just for you - and then you go out to the “MMO” world.

but even that doesn’t sound like “MMO”, but now every game where you can see someone random online seems to grab that description.

either way, I think it looks worth checking out, since as a man in his 40’s, I am clearly the target audience for happy fun times games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Disney Dreamlight.
