MelodiousFunk, do games w Nintendo warns Switch 2 GameChat users: “Your chat is recorded”
@MelodiousFunk@startrek.website avatar

The good news is that the mic is a piece of cake (relatively speaking, as someone who has tinkered with electronics before) to disconnect. Will it throw any errors/refuse to boot? Dunno, haven’t seen that attempted yet.

Or you just don’t use voice chat? It’s no use anyways if you disconnect your microphone…

grue, do games w Why console makers can legally brick your game console

Answer (without even needing to read the article): they can’t legally brick your console, but we live in an oligarchy that refuses to enforce the law against the powerful.

There’s always the option of just scrolling past if you’re sick of the coverage. I’m not on any other instances, and this hadn’t been posted on Beehaw yet. Bee Nicer.

msprout, do gaming w Is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion still fun for a first-time player in 2025?

I like it. I think if I had been a first time player (far from it — I played it at release), this would be a worthy way to experience the game. That said, playing it again just feels deeply discordant for me. It’s drop-dead gorgeous with the visuals, but the sound effects, NPC models, and so much more just remind me of the original jank, and it snaps me back and forth, lol. Going back to KCD2, cus it’s new to me.

codexarcanum, do games w 12-year-old Doom 2 challenge map finally beaten after six-hour, 23K-demon grind

The YouTube algorithm has been real weird lately. It suggested a video to me and I had no idea why until now. I watch a lot of Doom stuff, so it wasn’t off base, I just didn’t have context for it.

It’s Coincident (the streamer this is about) commenting over a “lost” demo of Okuplok playing the map themselves. Spoiler: they do not finish it! But it was neat hearing Coincident discuss his own strategies for the map in comparison to how the creator (allegedly) approached it.

I’ll have to watch the actual stream now I guess!

keepthepace, do astronomy w [Eric Berger] Tuesday Telescope: A rare glimpse of one of the smallest known moons

What I like about this image is that this is probably the biggest object that I can compare to something I know, that I can “comprehend”. With 6 km wide, it is about the same size as Grenoble, a city I have seen from above while hiking. I can understand how far the picture looks from it, how small a human would be on it

smeg, do games w First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80

Aren’t consoles and their new game always ridiculously expensive on launch? I know Nintendo stuff often doesn’t drop in price that much but I’d be surprised if they stay this expensive for long. Plenty of other games to play in the meantime!

Kelly,

These are the top 5 sellers on Switch:

These links take you to a price tracker with a chart showing historical prices. The RRP of each of these has been static, and discounts are short and infrequent.

In a break from form Nintendo hasn’t released a budget “Selects” label for older titles this generation.

smeg,

Fair point, but I still can’t imagine they’ll be double that price for long. The only GBP price I’ve seen for a Switch 2 game is the MKW bundle which is only £30 more than the console on its own.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

It will only stay as high as the market and customers allow it

If it sells out, expect a price drop in a few years

If it fails to meet Nintendo’s expectations (3DS at launch) expect a price drop a few weeks or months (3DS at launch)

Kelly,

If it sells out, expect a price drop in a few years

Switch sold out in 2017, and now the same basic Neon model is selling for the same price in 2025.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

Maybe I should have been more specific…i meant mid to end of life. I totally figured forgot the switch lasted a fucking decade

Wiedząc o tym, jak polskie władze używają Pegasusa i jemu podobne oprogramowanie, zalecam wszystkim działającym mieć uaktualniony system w telefonie. Serbia też jest demokracją.

harcesz,

Na Pegasusa aktualizacja nie ma za dużego wpływu - jadą na 0-dayach konsekwentnie. Bardziej pomagać ma… regularne restartowanie telefonu. Większość tych hacków nie utrzymuje się przez restart.

qyron, (edited ) do gaming w The Sims re-release shows what’s wrong with big publishers and single-player games

Can someone explain me what are the cloud saves for and achievements?

What is the point of gamifying a game?

barsoap,

Cloud saves are for playing on more than one box as well as backup. Achievements, from the developer’s POV, give some insight into player behaviour, you can also drop hints there (I would never have tried to pet the manta in Satisfactory otherwise), make suggestions for tasks people can set themselves, etc. Whether you, as a player, cares honestly nobody but you gives a fuck.

I can tell you, for example, just from the achievement statistics, that a metric fuckton, an absolute majority, of Cities:Skylines players play modded. They do track city building milestones and very very few people are reaching anything even close to mid-game with achievements still enabled.

qyron,

Thank you for the insight. I respect it but nonetheless those are features completely indiferen to me.
