It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.

Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.

Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.

I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.

10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.

Zahille7,

There are so many mods for Zomboid, some of them are staples that never leave my modlist. I have a mod that replaces almost all the headgear on zombies with a headcrab from Half-Life (you can loot and wear the headcrabs too), as well as a couple “occupations” based around a Black Mesa security guard, or an HECU marine.

There’s the whole host of True Music add-ons, which all add actually listenable music to the game, in the form of cassettes, records, or CDs. There is also a collection of mods called True Action, that give you more emotes and animations for your character, such as dancing or actually sitting on a chair or bed instead of just the floor. Tons of vehicle mods too; plenty of real-life vehicles from all kinds of eras (the game takes place in the 90s, so I usually like to keep the 90s aesthetic) but there are plenty of “lore-friendly” ones that have made-up names for the cars. Mods that add interiors to RVs so you can have a mobile base, mods that make you able to add a basement to your house/base, new maps (one I have called Project Russia, and it’s basically the surrounding area outside Moscow, also a huge map)…

Fuck it I’m buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.

You’re in for a treat. Good luck, die well.

Th3D3k0y,

I love PZ, really do. I do however also recognize that its playloop is a challenge for many many people to enjoy. The game suffers from essentially needing to know how to play in order to learn how to play. I have yet to find a single one of my friends that enjoyed the game until I sat down with them, watched them play via stream and coached them.

So when you do buy it, pay real close attention to the return window if you aren’t really enjoying it. If you aren’t essentially hooked in an hour, you probably never really particularly enjoy the game.

Looks like you still can't adjust the font size with either ctrl+/ctrl- or directly in the settings. At least the larger pages will increase the font size slightly on larger screens.

Steam: the billion dollar storefront failing to implement an insanely common accessibility feature browers have had for 20 yrs.

seralth,

To be fair it’s not a browser it’s a store front. Lol

EnsignPacts,

The Steam UI is literally based on Chrome

I’m glad we’ve finally moved away from the silly idea that all web content needs to be in a tiny little narrow box designed for phone and tablet consumption.

Hopefully Wikipedia will finally restore the real CSS too.

SomethingBurger,

Wikipedia has a toggle at the top to switch to the previous, inferior version.

Text is much easier to read if it isn’t too wide. Using all the available horizontal space is bad because it makes you move your eyes a lot more.

I hate using the Steam client to browse the store because it stutters all the time and doesn't support tabs. Not to mention that the Enhanced Steam browser extension adds support for 3rd party sellers so I can see if there's a better price without leaving the page.

Without tabs, I can't browse a specific tag without having to go back and forth constantly, which is super annoying because page listings are dynamically loaded, so going back means starting from the top of the list all over again.

Good. The slow death of the gif continues.

naticus, (edited ) do games w John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025

Just a heads up that if you try buying from Humble, they have no keys right now for this game. It’s very possible we’ll never get them with the impending delist.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3b7eee2f-37bd-4246-ae34-360a660d8618.png

mic_check_one_two,

Yeah, Humble has been spiraling, and this is one of the largest symptoms. If they’re out of stock, they shouldn’t be allowed to list the game for sale. It’s particularly bad on their Humble Choice offers, where trying to claim after Day 1 often ends up with half of the keys listed as out of stock.

naticus,

Interesting, I haven’t had that experience with Humble Choice. Sometimes I don’t redeem for a week or more and I still manage to get keys. Was there any particular game that you had this issue with?

BobDendry,
@BobDendry@masto.fediverse.games avatar

I have the issue from time to time if I go and bulk redeem like 6 months of keys cause I forgot Humble existed, but I usually get an email telling me the key is ready within a day or so.

Not sure they'll end up getting keys for John Wick Hex sadly. We'll see though.

naticus,

Yeah I’m considering buying it on Steam directly with the plan of refunding if I get a code from Humble.

Fredthefishlord,

Aren’t they a charity?

Always redeem (or sell) your Humble keys ASAP people

naticus,

Yeah I tried to redeem within 2 min of buying. They are selling this without any keys in their system.

what the hex

MrNesser, do games w John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025

How come it’s getting removed?

duchess,

Expired movie license probably.

Psythik,

Too much work to simply swap out the assets and change the character’s name with a patch?

duchess,

Maybe someone made the calculations and the projected profits from a re-published, license-stripped version are lower than the estimated costs.

Spoomis, do games w John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025

Is it worth picking up before it’s removed?

RiQuY, do games w John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025

Friendly reminder to sign the StopKillingGames petition to avoid bullshit like this in the future.

www.stopkillinggames.com

Prunebutt,

While I agree with the sentiment: It won’t be killed, “just” de-listed from sale. If you buy it now, you can still p/ay it.

Although an end-of-life plan would probably make it easier for the publishers to still sell the game after licences expire.

RiQuY,

Delisting a game goes against the point of game preservation. The trick of “buy it now to keep it” sounds like FOMO.

iamtherealwalrus,

You think publishers should not be allowed to decide when they want to stop selling their goods?

Prunebutt,

It’s still not what the initiative is asking for (in the EU)

duchess,

Why did you write „play“ like this?

Prunebutt,

Typo

czl,

While everyone should sign it, the campaign is about publishers that kill games that could conceivably remain working.

De-listing is likely a result of expired licensing or similar, and I don’t think it’s feasible (or realistic) to require companies to renew licenses in perpetuity just to keep selling games.

duchess,

People should learn to read more than the name of the petition.

Railcar8095,

“Stop Killing Games” is a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers. An increasing number of video games are sold effectively as goods - with no stated expiration date - but designed to be completely unplayable as soon as support from the publisher ends. This practice is a form of planned obsolescence and is not only detrimental to customers, but makes preservation effectively impossible. Furthermore, the legality of this practice is largely untested in many countries.

People should read the petition before being snarky and wrong.

duchess,

What you have quoted is not what’s happening to John Wick Hex. People who bought it can still download and play it.

Railcar8095,

Yes, I know. That’s why I quoted that part, to show what stop killing games is about, for those who don’t understand.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

John Wick Hex has been sold as a completed product and will remain playable (for people who have already bought it, and people who track down a physical copy) even after the publisher pulls the plug. This is not planned obsolescence, their license for the movie rights has expired.

Stop Killing Games has NOTHING to do with this.

Railcar8095,

Agree. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear, but that’s my point

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I’m very sorry, it’s my fault. I misinterpreted your comment.

Railcar8095,

It’s OK, I think I misunderstood somebody else and it seems I was disagreeing with an OK comment too

GeneralEmergency,

G*mers aren’t known for being smart enough to read.

Makes me wonder if he could just rip the branding from it, alter the character a bit and stick it out again.
