mojo, do games w Starfield hasn’t hurt No Man’s Sky’s popularity – it may have even helped it

They’re defintely way different games. NMS is more sandbox and procedural focused, whereas Starfield is a story focused game. Both are buggy space games lol.

CarlsIII,

Thank you for saying it. I’m getting tired of all of these “Starfield is NMS but worse” takes form people that have obviously played neither.

NMS is a space exploration game.

Starfield is a lite-RPG with a space theme.

newthrowaway20, do games w NO STEAM DATA - Valve confirms alleged data breach was "not a breach of Steam systems" [Debunk]

I’m gonna have AI make fake datasets of stolen accounts and scam scammers.

capt_wolf,

That’s… Actually not a bad idea. Place dummy sets on legitimate servers that then feed into legitimate looking, but flagged, accounts. Sprinkle them into legitimate datasets too. Flood the dark web with fake info that goes off like a landmine when used.

I’m sure that’s something that already gets done. At least, I’d hope it does.

Netflix has games? Are they real games or trivia games?

LaGG_3,

I think they had exclusive rights to the phone version of Into The Breach and funded the expansion for it

they’ve got some decent ones on there. I just started playing Shredder’s Revenge and am having a lot of fun. Into The Breach is fantastic. They also have GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, not that those are exactly new games.

poppy,

Depending what you’re in to, some mobile versions of good games like Oxenfree and Spiritfarer and Reigns.

smallaubergine, do games w Team17 hit by redundancies - UK firm latest to suffer layoffs

Why do the British call it "redundancies". Seems like a weird way of saying we're laying people off

TheOneCurly,
@TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page avatar

I think it implies the company is continuing on but that job is no longer a position at the company. Redundant or unnecessary as opposed to a position that they intend to fill again, as you would with a firing.

Lay off is weirder imo.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yeah, layoffs feel temporary (like furloughed government employees). I dislike both terms though, I prefer “downsizing” or something like that to clearly indicate that it’s not temporary and your job wasn’t worthless, it’s just that the company needs fewer people employed to meet budget targets.

my_hat_stinks,

Something that is redundant is not needed, it’s a descriptive term. Layoff is a relatively recent US euphemism meaning relax or rest which became associated with non-working periods for seasonal work then evolved to cover redundancies. The US term is the weird one here.

smallaubergine,

Interesting! I see your point, appreciate it

sugar_in_your_tea,

They’re both poor terms.

To me, “redundancy” means someone you don’t need, as in, their job is worthless, and “layoff” means the company can’t afford to keep everyone, so they’re temporarily reducing the workforce. What we see so often isn’t either of those, it’s just headcount reduction or downsizing.

Maalus,

Redundant doesn’t mean worthless. It means that you have a duplicate or something, or someone is already doing the job that you are doing. Your work still is worth something, it’s just not needed anymore.

pastermil,

In IT, redundancy can mean reserve, or back up; something extra in case something broke.

Lord_Logjam, do games w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission

I would have liked to have finished the first mission but the game crashes after roughly 5 minutes every time I try to play. Sort it out Bethesda.

Gullible, do games w Pokemon Go to feature Pokemon from Scarlet and Violet starting September 5

Pokémon go had such potential, but turned out to be just a pocket heater.

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I only go on for the occasional community day if I like the shiny just so I can transfer it to a game that is actually fun to play. Trouble is I’m running out of fun main line games now too…

I really hope Gamefreak/nintendo can get their house in order, the IP deserves so much better than it’s gotten the past few years. Arceus was an encouraging development, I hope they build on that.

saber interactive is a russian company. 4A Games is Kyiv-based studio. this cannot be a rescue.

you are reading Wikipedia in a wrong language. russian wiki page lists all russia and belarus offices, if that is your source.

iusearchbtw,
@iusearchbtw@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It lists several subsidiary offices, including Russian, Armenian, Swedish, British, Belorussian, and Portuguese branches. It’s still headquartered in the United States.

for me this makes them russian. I’m from Kyiv, Ukraine.

Hestia, do gaming w Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays
@Hestia@hexbear.net avatar

Ha, if I want to play games, Netflix is the last place I’d go. Stay in your fucking lane Netflix.

BigDanishGuy, do gaming w Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays

Yes, just what I wanted.

I don’t even want interactive titles, why did Netflix clutter the interface with games? I just want to how some noise in the background, so I don’t have to listen to my thoughts.

ChiefSinner, do games w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission

People do play games offline. Personally, I don’t care about achievements. They mean nothing to me, except knowing that the game developer is tracking my play through, which I hate.

Cethin,

People play offline and they also mod games (especially Bethesda games and especially this one). In order to get achievements in Starfield you either need to play (mostly) vanilla or install an extra mod to re-enable them. This is a dumb article and should be downvoted. There are many reasons why the claim is likely wrong.

StarkestMadness, do games w Destiny 2 is going to get rid of one of its currencies like it did with its content

This article has a pretty negative slant, but is anyone actually sad they’re going? I’ve been playing on and off since 2014, and I never have enough shards. My friends that have played almost nonstop since launch constantly have more than they could ever spend, even if they masterworked every piece of gear in their collection. Seems like a good change, honestly.

Powof,

It’s definitely a good change. I have so many legendary shards that the currency might as well not exist, but my newer friends are constantly running out. It’s a good change for everyone.

_waffle_,
@_waffle_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I have over 50k shards that I will never use so it’ll be sad to see the high number go away but other than that, I couldn’t imagine a soul being bothered by the legendary shard change. It’s honestly a great thing to help simplify parts of the games economy for new and returning players

pegasusariespumpkins,

I have way more than I could possibly need, and really don’t mind their idea to remove them. What I am a bit “salty” over is the lack of currency exchange for their removal.

I would love to trade in a bunch to get prisms, ascendant alloys or the one to get the enhanced perks (I forget the name). But Bungie still has their arbitrary limits in place. Again, I support the removal, but I did still grind to accumulate them, so not being able to turn them into something useful feels like a waste.

MisterMcBolt, do games w Starfield hasn’t hurt No Man’s Sky’s popularity – it may have even helped it

I played Starfield on the Game Pass and was bored to tears after four hours. It made me want to explore space, but everything is so half-baked in Starfield that it drove me to reinstall and start playing more No Man’s Sky.

shiveyarbles, do gaming w Starfield's planets aren't all interesting, but they're not all "supposed to be Disney World"

Bethesda game full of jank. Same as it ever was, Pikachu face.

dingus, do gaming w Starfield's planets are an illusion: you can't land on them
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, this is just a little silly.

We all know it isn’t and never intended to be No Man’s Sky.

This is like acting upset you can’t land on planets in Mass Effect 2.

spite, do gaming w Starfield topped 230,000 concurrent players on Steam, and it’s not officially out yet

I dislike the narrative that it’s “not officially out”. It is, for people who paid for it. It’s just that people who paid less need to wait.

Kaldo,
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

I am also kinda upset that people can't post reviews on steam, it feels like cheating the system. The game is out, over 200 000 people are playing it, why can't we see its score? How is it different from any other big launch? Should all early access games not be reviewable until they are out, meaning some can't get a score for years and years?

I paid $0 and I’m playing it too 😉
