CeleryFC, do gaming w New Rule announcement: Meme Monday's

Seems weird to me that a platform starved for content and engagement would limit one of its largest forms of content to only be allowed on 1 day per week. 🤷‍♂️

Lionir,

Memes tend to not be a great discussion starter. If there is an overwhelming amount of memes, interactions and discussions can easily be buried and socially discouraged as a result.

CeleryFC,

That’s fair. I spent probably 15 years on that other site lurking some really fantastic conversations in the comments, but it’s hard to find any posts here with more than a few comments. I’d much prefer active comment sections, but I’d settle for memes. I get where you’re coming from, hopefully this will help the conversations.

Matter of opinion. I would rather have an empty feed than have to scroll past all the memes I have no interest in.

Agreed. It gets to the point where if anything, it’s inhibitive to growth because people just zip right on past it before ultimately unsubscribing.

I blocked the user who flooded the community with shitposting, I prefer no content rather than shitty, low quality content

I left plenty of subreddits because that kind of content was rampant and it was hard to find actual quality content, because those posts were buried in shitty memes

The usage of “content” and “engagement” in this post is genuinely depressing. People clearly want to have conversations and discussions, not feed an algorithm machine.

farcaster, do gaming w Process optimization games?

Settlers 2 (and the faithful remake Settlers 2: 10th Anniversary) is pretty old but is still one of my favorite economy building games

Factorio. The factory must grow.

r00ty, do gaming w Pet peeve, games that won't let you save

Back in the day of 8/16bit computers we had the solution for this. The action replay cartridge. Could save the exact machine state at any time.

Save states would be nice. Just dump the game’s data from ram to disk.

That would probably take up a ton of space though. :)

Rest mode if you’re on the PS

Yeah, quick resume on xbox as well and that’s great, most modern games use it. Not all though and not on PC.

Not quite the same thing, but Project '06 is a ground-up fan remake of Sonic '06 in Unity engine that’s actually fun to play

worfamerryman, do gaming w Games similar to Ship of Harkinian?

I’ve heard of a few but I honestly can’t recall I think maybe link to the past was decompiled. Maybe one of the sonic games.

I used to ai to the regames subreddit which was all about reverse engineering.

Ah that’s interesting, I’ll definitely have a look at what I can find about those, appreciate it. I’ll also check out the subreddit

cupcakezealot, do gaming w What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

So the question, there must be some sort of cut off age at which video games are no longer an acceptable pastime.

When you no longer enjoy it

counselwolf, do gaming w Android Compatibility on 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth?

Latest Firmware update log on the website for the 2.4ghz said

Firmware v2.00 <br> 1. Added the Bluetooth connection for Dinput mode.

Does that mean it supports Android on Bluetooth better now?

firmware update log for the ultimate Bluetooth was not the same.

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

For now the Ultimate Bluetooth version only officially supports the Nintendo Switch over Bluetooth :(

I hope they’ll bring their more expensive version with Hall Effect joysticks up to the same features someday…

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w Has anyone heard anything about a game called "YEAH! YOU WANT 'THOSE GAMES RIGHT' SO HERE YOU GO, NOW LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!"

Having played it, I can say the games are what you’re led to expect from the adverts. If they were actually on mobile devices, I think they’d be fine but feel a bit too simple for PC, in my opinion. They aren’t bad but they’re the sorts of games one would idly play on a bus, in a waiting room or something so I find they aren’t engaging enough.

@Maven@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

So the gimmick is like, there’s a lot of deceptive mobile ads that show simple but satisfying puzzle games, like unjamming a traffic jam or pulling pins the right order to let a guy free, butthen when you click on it, it’s some totally unrelated trashfire of a game. The irony is that a lot of people would actually like to play the games shown in the ads, but they’re entirely made up to trick you.

Until now; this game is a collection of the made-up games that appear in cell phone ads.

I haven’t played it but I heard about it on a podcast I enjoy: Podquisition. One of the hosts - Laura K Buzz - seemed favourable towards it and recommended it to those drawn to that style of quick to understand but continuously engaging games with simple tasks to complete, and after listening it genuinely made me want to give it a shot.

laresek, do gaming w What’s everyone playing this weekend?

Tears of the Kingdom. I’m going to be here for awhile, but this game has made me want to play some other Switch games in my collection that I’ve been putting off, like Xenoblade Chronicles.

Xenoblade is awesome! It blew my mind that sooo many really outstanding Switch games were in fact done by the same company!

Relevant TVTropes link, Not the Way It Is Meant to Be Played.

I am generally a video hater but this is very entertaining: a tutorial on beating Skyrim without ever using the left stick. The actual video title is misleading and just claims it’s beating it without ever walking.

AdmiralRob,

ymfah is a mad genius, and everyone should check out his other videos.
