Telorand, do gaming w Tetris Forever is an incomplete tribute to the best game of all time

Does it mention the Shnigedy Ding Dong?

BertramDitore, do gaming w [Polygon site redesign] Welcome to the next era of Polygon! We made it for you.

Huh, so now it’s the verge, but less unique and creative. Not to disparage anyone doing redesigns, it’s a valiant effort.

Eggyhead, do gaming w New Nintendo Switch accessory might confirm some leaked details about Switch 2

I’m surprised at how little I am actually interested in the switch 2 but for the prospect of more Metroid prime and Zelda.

Itsamelemmy, do scifi w The dirty secret to making sci-fi believable

I wonder if this was the reason for my dislike of the costumes in one of the marvel Thor movies. Just remember them looking like a cheap cos player outfit made from plastic.

Dagwood222, do scifi w The dirty secret to making sci-fi believable

I remember an old Superman comic. Trapped under a red sun, Supes is powerless, but his Kryptonian supersuit is still indestructible. Supes is bruised and battered but his clothes stay immaculate.

[iirc, the supersuit is made of Kryptonian tech and was originally blankets used to swaddle in infant Kal-El]

squid_slime, do gaming w A handheld Xbox? Microsoft’s gaming chief can’t stop thinking about it
@squid_slime@lemmy.world avatar

If they’re going with that design then expect a cease and desist lol

rdyoung,

From who? Sega for ripping off the gamegear?

No dont be silly I obviously meant the gameboy

TheBananaKing, do scifi w Sting is my favorite part of David Lynch’s Dune

I really liked all the Lynch harkonnens - they were just sleazy and degraded by power: not terrifying supervillians, but the Trump family.

Like, they were still a major problem, but because privilege, not any kind of badassery.

I think that’s an aspect that was missed in the Villeneuve dune, along with making Paul too pretty and heroic.

1984 Paul was a sour unlikelable dick, and that was kind of the point for me.

mipadaitu, do scifi w Sting is my favorite part of David Lynch’s Dune

That’s true, Sting is my favorite part of DL’s dune. He played Feyd-Rautha so well.

Also, Patrick Stuart is my favorite part of dune. He was an excellent Halleck.

Kyle McLaughlin though… He was my favorite part of dune, such an outstanding Paul. Always felt a little mature for the role, but he did an amazing job none the less.

That and Alecia Witt… Man, that creepy little girl, and the oddly mismatching voice… My favorite part for sure.

Dean Stockwell…

jqubed, do gaming w 2K pulls Spec Ops: The Line from digital stores without warning
@jqubed@lemmy.world avatar

I’m assuming people who already bought the game can still play it?

SolOrion,

It’s still in my Steam library. I’m not sure whether it runs, but I can’t imagine it wouldn’t.

MrScottyTay,

They should be able to. These things usually only take them down from sale.

Can confirm, was able to download it after it was pulled and it runs fine.

shani66, do gaming w Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent

I’d be incredibly happy if that were true, but it isn’t. We’ve had proper Pokemon alternatives since before Pokemon even existed and they haven’t slowed that shitty franchise one bit. Megaten is still niche, Digimon is still niche, cassette beasts (the actual goty) has an even smaller audience than those games, if this was major discontent with Pokemon cassette beasts at least would be in a much better place (since it literally released last year, perfect to take advantage of Pokemon’s unending failures). Gotta nip that unwarranted optimism in the bud, gamefreak sucks and will never improve, their fans suck and will never improve.

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

I honestly didn’t even know that Capcom was still around. Time for a boycott?

Pratai, do gaming w Netflix has landed The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy

No.

tygerprints, do gaming w Stardew Valley Expanded exceeded its creator’s wildest dreams

I truly wish I had access to Steam. I see all these wonderful casual puzzle games (my #1 love) and they never come out on Switch. But I don't have a good computer that is up to date and it cannot run Steam at all. My mouth waters when I see playthroughs of certain Steam games on Youtube.

You can get a computer which can run Steam the low-spec library for less than $100 if you get a very common used office computer. I’ve seen as low as $50 for a functional machine only a few years old. Most likely it could run most puzzle games.

tygerprints,

My computer is supposed to be able to run anything, and it runs virtually nothing. I can't even get basic things like email or older games to run on this thing. I've never had good luck with technology - but maybe I'll invest in a newer computer once of these days and hope for the best.

Kwakigra,
@Kwakigra@beehaw.org avatar

Sounds like it’s relatively new. If it came out of the box not being able to run games or email you may have some faulty hardware. If it ran decently at first but now having issues you may have some processes running taking up all your computer’s resources. The latter issue is a pretty straightforward fix by an IT guy, but the only way around hardware failure is replacement.

Don_alForno,

Stardew Valley is on switch though? It’s also on gog.com which is preferable anyway. No launcher required.

tygerprints,

Yep, it's on Switch, I originally bought a physical copy for PS4 back when it first came out, but then my PS4 gave out around the same time I was gifted with a Switch system. And then I found out all my PS4 games were pretty much also available on Switch. But what I really envy are people who can play Steam games, they are so much my type of casual games.

SpeziSuchtel, do gaming w Nintendo is making a live-action Legend of Zelda movie with Sony
@SpeziSuchtel@feddit.de avatar

Interesting that they are opting for a live action movie. The Super Mario Bros movie was produced by universal, so them going with Sony is quite nice.

thingsiplay, do gaming w The new voice of Mario is also the new voice of Wario
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

The new voice of Mario who is the new voice of Wario, is also the voice of Luigi. Either this man is a talent who can do multiple voices, or they sound the same. I didn't play enough to know the answer. Has anyone listened closer?

ElBarto,
@ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

Do you think voice actors can only do one voice? Being able to do multiple different voices is the basic requirement for a voice actor, unless you’re one of the select few who get away with one voice (looking at you Patrick Warburton), but for most voice actors, they learn by mimicking as many characters as they can.

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

If you say so and I think about, It makes sense. It's like an actor playing different roles in movies. I was really impressed when reading the news the Mario voice actor could do Wario as well and feel kinda dumb now. :D

ElBarto,
@ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

Sall good, I forget people aren’t as obsessed with voice actors as I am, there’s some really talented people out there doing voice acting and I hope more roles can open up for them.

tonamel,

The original voice actor, Charles Martinet, also did Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi himself.
