I’m guessing this is still related to that time where a guy running a tournament had his nude Chun-Li mod on.

Exactly why I no longer give ubisoft money.

Every complaining gaming article should end with: "…or, just play indie games. Problem solved!’

Why are microtransactions…-

Just play indie games.

Why this horrible bundle deal…-

Just play indie games.

Here’s 45 reasons why this game misinterpreted gender issues…-

Just play indie games

This remaster could’ve just been DLC…-

Just play indie games

Nvidia…-

Just play indie games

Azteh,

I get what you are getting at but “misinterpretation of gender” can also happen in indie games and so can micro transactions. They are much more rare but they do still on occasion happen

Azzu,

This is such a weird take. Of course, for the things you mentioned, yes.

But in the case of storage, it’s not like the devs purposefully increase the sizes of their game for some reason. If indie devs had the resources to easily make graphics as advanced and voice every little thing in their games, they would, and their games would become as big.

The only reason it doesn’t happen is because they literally can’t do that with their resources, which are better spent elsewhere. But this is not an inherent advantage of indie games, in fact, it’s quite the disadvantage. I’d love if my indie games at least had the possibility of cutting edge graphics and voice for everything.

Amanduh, do gaming w YouTuber ordered to pay "King of Kong" Billy Mitchell $230,000 over defamation claims

Wasn’t he a cheater though?

themeatbridge,

Probably, but that’s not what this lawsuit was about.

This one, the youtuber claimed that Mitchell was partly responsible for the suicide of another youtuber.

Amanduh,

Maybe I should have read the article…

themeatbridge,

Eh, I’ve never found that to be a necessity. You got the same info either way.

unexposedhazard, do games w Leaked Nintendo Switch 2 chassis "almost certainly real," analysts say | TechSpot

Looks like a full sized tablet with side mounted controls

PunchingWood,

Seems only like a natural step up from the previous Switch.

Although I had kinda hoped Nintendo would step up their game and gone for a bigger leap with stronger hardware, or a new device alongside the Switch, to make it a potential competitor to PlayStation. The console market needs more competition, but I think both Nintendo and Sony are very comfortable right now, without being into much of each others way and being able to keep raising prices.

HobbitFoot,

The Nintendo 64 was really the last time Nintendo tried competing on hardware specs for the console market.

After that, you had a major electronics company subsidizing hardware to gain market share and a major software company subsidizing development and software graphics tools to be used also on their computer systems as the two different competitors.

SomethingBurger,

The GC was significantly more powerful than the PS2.

I can feel my stomach turning upside down already.

mordack550,

If you puke inside a portal, does it mantains its momentum?

DoomBot5,

Yes

And no friction or gravity. Will stay in perpetual motion, forever flying around the room

Peffse, do games w Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices

I wish it covered how they went from selling cards giving time for PS+, to requiring mismatched currency cards for PS+.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Wait what? I’m mostly steam now so I’m out of the loop. What the fuck…?

chickenf622, do gaming w YouTuber ordered to pay "King of Kong" Billy Mitchell $230,000 over defamation claims

This is why you don’t use active lawsuits you’re in as content. You’re gonna say something that’s gonna bite you in the ass.

kiagam, do gaming w YouTuber ordered to pay "King of Kong" Billy Mitchell $230,000 over defamation claims

From the small amount of info in the article, it sounds like the judge didn’t like that someone “small” was trying to take on someone “big”. I have received similar bullshit sentences in court against banks (you are just trying to take advantage of the big guy so you get nothing), so my first instinct is to doubt the decision was fair

SchmidtGenetics, (edited )

Uhh… clearly you didn’t even read the article mate.

According to the judge, the 2020 settlement between Mitchell and Smith never involved any money. Smith was told to remove any YouTube videos and social media posts he made relating to Mitchell. He was also required to hand over copyright of those removed videos to Mitchell, and to stop publishing content about Mitchell or face a $25,000 fine for each incident.

Jobst had originally claimed that Smith was ordered to pay Mitchell $1 million. Jobst edited the video several times while it was online, once after Mitchell suggested he intended to sue, and again after Smith’s brother confirmed no money had been exchanged in the settlement between Mitchell and Smith.

Guy claimed Mitchel caused the dudes suicide because of debt, there was zero money involved in the lawsuit, then the guy tried to hide it. Guy defamed mitchel, got caught, tried hiding it.

And you want to claim what here? Maybe just read the article mate.

kiagam,

I read the article. Don’t bring reddit attitude here please.

“Clearly he wanted to be the knight who slayed the Mitchell dragon,” the judge said. “His lance was not as strong as he thought it to be.”

“He thought he was hot shit but I took him down a peg” kinda vibe. Doesn’t strike me really as “justice”. Too emotional.

SchmidtGenetics,

Jeez dude. Again, further down.

The judge also referred to an interview in which Jobst said, “Billy Mitchell needs to be destroyed in court […] I am the last chance for the public to punish Billy.”

There’s no “Reddit attitude” here, if anything, the stupidness of people commenting without reading an article in it’s entirety is what’s boiling over from that cesspool. I think someone protests too much……

kiagam,

Again, I read the entire article. Karl or the pope or whoever else can go on whatever crusade they want, it is not the judge’s place to stop that. If on that crusade they say lies or libel or whatever, apply the law on them, be my guest. But don’t do it because they were on a crusade. Don’t let that influence the decision, because that is not against the law in itself.

I don’t give 2 fucks if Karl or Mitchell is right or wrong, I’m only talking about the judge and how fucked up the justice system is by leaving the final decision in the hands of admittedly fallible people.

When the judge, the authority that has final say on the matter, mentions they considered something that is not forbidden in their decision, it sours my view of it and the justice system.

Even if the final legal document does not contain that as part of the reason for the sentence, I can’t avoid thinking that the judge’s mindset was pointing towards that (that being “I’ll take this guy down a peg because he thinks himself as some big defender of justice, when I’m the only one that can do that”)

SchmidtGenetics,

They did decide because of the defamation. Anything about the decision being about anything else is purely in your head.

And fuck the judge for showing some character and insulting them I guess? They’re potentially wasting your tax money and wasting courts precious time and you want to allow this apparently? Shit take dude.

You just want some stooge to parrot corp speak? Jesus Christ, what the hell does that have to do with the article?

If you read it, than you’re just a troll bloviating.

kiagam,

Chill man, I didn’t insult anyone, I just said I don’t trust judges from personal experience, and that phrase reminded me of that.

And no, I don’t want judges to show character. I want them to be impartial. When a judge fucks up a case of yours because they are stupid/have an agenda, you will understand the sentiment.

Corp speak, wtf?

ms_lane, do games w Atari 2600: The Atlantis of Game Consoles

Circus Atari was fun, I don’t care what the GenZ ‘journalist’ says.

The 2600 was so underpowered that it couldn’t even hold a full game screen in memory. Developers had to draw the screen line by line, in real time, as it was being sent to the TV.

ugh, that’s how every console up through the 5th gen worked… It was only in the 6th gen we had an idea of a ‘frame buffer’

@p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Wow, this “journalist” had no idea what games programming was like back then. Yars Revenge even used its own code to display the neutral zone. There were a lot of creative tricks like that to save on memory and CPU.

marlowe221,

And is only ONE of the reasons Yar’s Revenge is awesome!

_Lory98_, do games w Leaked Nintendo Switch 2 chassis "almost certainly real," analysts say | TechSpot

That’s a shame if it’s true. I found the original uncomfortable and painful to hold, I was hoping for something more like the Steam Deck.

Yeah, seems like its just a bigger switch

@bread@feddit.nl avatar

You can buy third party joycons that make it a lot more comfortable. The originals are tiny and make my hands hurt.

_Lory98_,

That’s true. Altho I ended up getting a switch lite because even tho it’s smaller, it’s lighter and the soft buttons are much more comfortable.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Just buy a Steam Deck?

_Lory98_,

I did, lol.

But there’s still gonna be Switch games I already own and don’t wanna rebuy or exclusives I wanna play.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

That’s Nintendo’s problem. Just pirate them.

histic,

Except the steam deck will probably play them better still

Blackmist, do games w Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices

I don’t get how Apple has to open their shit up (although they’re certainly dragging their heels over it and sulking like a toddler) but Sony, MS and Nintendo don’t.

lustyargonian,

Microsoft seems to be preemptively doing that already.

TheOakTree,

Not because they’re required to, but because their console platform is dying lol. I mean, I welcome the changes, but I’m sure long-time Xbox users are not as happy with it.

lustyargonian,

It could also be a strategy to then lobby and make everyone else give up their stores, levelling the playing field.

Evotech, do gaming w YouTuber ordered to pay "King of Kong" Billy Mitchell $230,000 over defamation claims

Damn, that sucks.

He did go out pretty hard after Mitchell, but he has moderated himself recently.

Guess he didn’t get the memo that all YouTubers have to say “allegedly” every other word.

MashedTech, do gaming w SteamOS could see a general distribution release, work with other handheld gaming PCs soon

I want to see all of the handhelds that have poor performance because of Windows bloat move to SteamOS and see an improvement. This will be such a huge blow to microsoft, SteamOS will get a bigger market share, because for that form factor it is the best OS! And I hope that developers will make Linux more important in their list because of this. Gaming is slowly going to become even less important on Windows. I want fucking Microsoft to be forced to offer a better Windows experience. I want competition again! Right now, Microsoft can fuck everyone over because they can, I hope that won’t be the case anymore.

MashedTech,

And Valve because it doesn’t have investors that yell “More PROFIT RIGHT NOW”, they can play in the long game, which other companies cannot do, because of investor pressure. Investor pressure for quick profits is what causes companies to cannibalize themselves and their future success.

I was a PS gamer since the PS1. Thousands of hours spent over decades.

I switched to PC (linux) late last year and my PS Plus membership lapsed in April of this year. I won’t be back.
