BombOmOm, do games w Oxford Study: Those Dastardly Video Games Are Good For Improving Your Mood
@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

Just remember to not play League of Legends. I’m pretty sure that game is designed to trick you into thinking you are having fun, but what is actually happening is everyone in team chat is yelling at you and you are probably yelling (at least privately) too.

I played for years very casually and had fun +80% of the time i would say. When you have a character you like and just enjoy the playstyle. It feels good to do what needs to be done as that character.

ImplyingImplications,

Unfortunately, my friends play it and I’m often roped into playing it with them. My advice: The game is greatly improved if you disable all forms of interaction with other players. Chat is muted by default now, but I’d also recommend muting pings and emotes. No form of interaction is ever positive in that game.

Even then, their matchmaking algorithm seems to be designed to hand an easy win to one team and just switches up which side you’re on enough times that you won’t quit.

Thorry84,

Sorry guys, we’re under dictator rule now. We should be getting some food coupons next week, otherwise we’ll starve. If only xxx_Epicl33tGamer69_xxx didn’t let us down in the big game last night. Oh well, such is life.

Noodle07,

The whole point of league of legends

msage,

League of Legends is so bland and uninteresting.

Just play Dota. It’s the original, far more complex (you can eat trees!), and actually mess with the enemies way more than just dealing chip damage.

Noodle07,

I’m not talking about gameplay, the league of legend in its lore is there to prevent real world war

PraiseTheSoup,

I played DotA for 14 years and while I agree it’s better than LoL in every single way I still wouldn’t recommend that anyone actually play it.

msage,

It’s fun though. It has its age, but still there’s nothing like it.

@SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Who ever thought of this?? "Cheats are copyright infringement" is such a stupid sentence..
Not to forget the base line: if it's not in a competitive environment, what the hell do they care if someone wants to play an easier Elden Ring, or skip the 'grind 100 hours for this materials' part??

Eyck_of_denesle,

Idk how cheats still work but when I was a kid, I used a tool called cheat engine.

I remember when a friend of mine got that and showed it to me and I thought it sucked because it made the games too easy, but never in my life would I have thought anyone was infringing copyright by using it.

I’m honestly somewhat offended at the mere suggestion that this could be acceptable.

brsrklf, (edited ) do games w No, Phil Spencer, Having AI Mock Up An Old Game Is Not The Same As Preserving It

Guys, it’s okay. Sure, it sounds bad that we somehow let the complete works of William Shakespeare disappear from the planet. But we have a new data center with a billion monkeys on typewriters. Give them some time, and they’re bound to stumble upon that old stuff eventually.

Edit : love that one guy who found a couple people critical of one of the most ridiculous claim about generative AI yet and decided to downvote everyone without a word.

BananaTrifleViolin,

AI can make Shakespeare BETTER! Like it can put it in modern text speak, and shorten it down to fit in a 30 second tiktok, plus give space for ad breaks and temu product placement. AI will help enhance user engagement with Shakespeare and also leverage new monetisation options and cross platform synergies.

All we have to do is let people copyright AI made content because ultimately it wasn’t Shakespeare that did the hard work, it was the AI tech Bros who transformed it into a modern content meme and raised 3rd quarter profits.

brsrklf,

You’ve convinced me brother. Buying 3 Lady Macbeth NFTs for my metaverse Web 3.0 gatcha play-to-earn game right now.

If someone wanted to make a fast buck right now, I bet a game where you go hunt down CEO’s and virtually… you know, accomplish your mission goals on them, it would be wildly popular.

If you try to go online with a flashcart, you're an idiot and I have no sympathy.

That’s victim blaming. That should be illegal

@missingno@fedia.io avatar

It's not bricked. It's just banned from online services. Sony and Microsoft do this too, for the record.

ThirdConsul,

And that should be illegal, since there’s no other online services provider for those devices.

You can’t even setup one yourself.

God I hope EU will slap them like they slapped Apple forcing it to provide alternative app stores.
