For those who wonder, yes, this is OK according to the community rule 6.
Talking about piracy is OK. What is forbidden is directly linking to it. Mainly for legal reason, not because we condemn it.
Nonetheless, OP asked for permission beforehand, which is nice. Authorization was of course given.
It’s just…going to seem selfish of me, because it’s a lovely initiative…but reformatting, citing and posting elsewhere just adds to the ‘work’ of this. I like to contribute to the open-source, community-driven Lemmy world, it makes me feel happy that there’s a space like this around.
But, that said, if you wanted to add it, by all means please do! I’ve zero objections. I just have too much on my plate right now to even consider it!
Thanks for the idea though, it’s nice to see another space where the community writes, cites, edits and posts their own work to be hosted :)
Thanks! I'm new to Wikinews too but my impression is that the only thing you need to cite an interview is files of the medium over which the medium was conducted: audio for calls, logs for chats, email threads for... emails, etc. (The parts that aren't part of the interview's conversation do need to be sourced, though Wikinews doesn't appear to do inline citations.) So I would need that to post this on Wikinews. (assuming they allow such non–"first-hand" content in the first place, which I think they should but can't find anything about lol)
Making games available to people that cannot pay is still a win for Nintendo… Nintendo gets money from selling consoles, games (sold in the traditional market) and cultural influence. We just had the movie “Mario Brothers” and it was a hit. The movie sells toys thus bringing more revenue to the company.
In the end, the DMCA strikes cost Nintendo’s money with little return.
Yes, but it’s legitimately different when you are a huge company versus a struggling artist. A company like Nintendo has the capital and staying power already to reap generational rewards from embedding their IP into a culture.
I got one of those Anbernic emulation devices and I’ve been quite into Secret of Mana (a game I could never finish the 30-odd years of restarting it countless times).
Also replaying Dishonored. IDK why, just feel like going through the series (I did not like the second one and gave up after a few hours when it came out).
I know this one is a bit late, but I am hearing buzz about this game but it doesn’t seem like we’ve discussed this one here. “Rocket League without cars” is the tongue-in-cheek description i’ve heard, essentially getting at the idea that this is a soccer/football game with a lot of style that is also more accessible to people that aren’t football nuts.
long time rocket league player and have about 20 hours from open beta + release combined. Have to say RL’s netcode and physics still remain unbeatable, while Rematch tries to hide their input lag during live match through animation length, it’s very obvious when you played long enough and have those wonky lag or desync/rubberbanding even on connection <60ms average.
The game have good fundamentals, but I doubt it will have good skill ceiling for longer term as the main ranked mode is 5v5 which relies on positional play. The dev didn’t mention quite a bit of things in terms of mechanics but players slowly converge to explain things off experience. Like, when you have the boost on, you have higher priority when trying to hit/pass the ball then player that does not activate it. At the moment, because of the lag/desync, person have good ball control/possession have advantage over people trying to defend if purely in a 1v1 situation. If you are goalie/sweeper since it has some modifier to make defending easier, but still most goals are scored 1v1 against goalie because of the options available to attacker and the boost committed shot/pass shot.
5v5 ranked also mean people who solo queue will have much tougher time to grind through ranks to get where people can pass reliably or position proper.
I wish them have more time focus on making the netcode good and reliable and then tweak the options for defender to force a more position/passing heavy game.
Thank you for your detailed thoughts! I haven’t heard some of these critiques yet, esp from someone that is deep in on Rocket League, and they are very interesting. I agree that they really have to fix that net code if they want this game to take off. Hopefully they are furiously toiling away on that as we speak.
Why is everyone here gaslighting OP as if this isn’t a valid privacy concern? It’s completely valid. Other messaging services allow you to disable typing indicators and message receipts. Even Google messages offers this. So yea, I’m with OP on this one.
It’s weird that Lemmy is super concerned with privacy yet shits on people for stuff like this. Good jobs guys. Really making Lemmy shine here.
Agree, but let’s not dilute the meaning of “gaslighting”. That word has a VERY specific definition and it had been getting used in inappropriate contexts so much that that very specific and necessary definition is being lost. It refers to a specific abusive behavior pattern which needs a good and concrete word to communicate it. My teen stepdaughter had it in her head that us educating her on the world was “gaslighting”, which is dangerous because she had the “gaslighting bad” reaction to things that were not gaslighting, and it is not limited to her. There is a concerted effort on the part of some political groups to break and weaponize the definitions of things like gaslighting and manipulation, we need to work to make sure it is not successful.
I pick up all games on sale, basically. Neva especially I probably won’t get unless it goes down to $5.
Dungeons of Hinterberg is in my “only because they have demo” folder. I’m not a huge fan of combat in games partly because combat as a gameplay mechanic is conceptually uninspired and partly just because I don’t really get the thrill. Dungeon’s of Hinterberg seems like a story thing first and foremost though.
Like in any game period? Big claim and you’re probably not interested in backing it up, but I’m curious.
Nothing major, just that combat is the default mode of operation for most games, especially AAA games. So I generally trend away from games that are built around combat.
IDK, trailer had a good deal of combat—just thought to give you a heads up in case you care about the combat.
I’ll play the demo eventually, so I’ll probably find out how I feel then.

Fair enough and let me tell you: as someone who exclusively plays games where combat is the central mechanic, I wouldn't touch the current crop of AAA games either.
