Yeah, nah, boss, you gonna need at least 3 more of those bad boys.

ArmoredThirteen,

Only one needs to have charge though right? It’ll just drain really fast. Or am I misremembering

I don’t think it’ll work without enough voltage

Psythik,

Depends on whether the batteries were hooked up in either series or parallel. Later GameBoys only needed 2 batteries but required the same voltage, so I’m guessing that the OG GB is wired in series-parallel.

So in other words, you need at least two batteries to be good for this to work in the OG GB. Later editions need both batteries to hold a charge to reach 3V.

The og, as depicted in the meme, needs 4 batteries, but I remember from experience as a kid that it wouldn’t work with a few dead batteries and one good one. Sometimes it would work out if they had enough juice in them, though. It wasn’t nearly as picky as my Nomad was.

Dijon,

From my knowledge, it’s kinda the opposite - when a device first runs out of battery, it’s almost always the case that only one of the batteries is truly dead. So if you find that one dead battery and swap it out, you’ll be good again for a surprisingly long while

My parents used to get so mad at me for poaching the batteries from all the remotes.

dharmacurious,

My mom got so frustrated at how often I needed batteries for my walkman, my Gameboy, my other toys, and my little stereo I won at the library, that she replaced all of our batteries with a bunch of rechargeables she bought in bulk. All my friends were so jealous

See…was the other way round for me. My mum had a crippling Tetris addiction when I was 7. So much so that I’d get home from school and every battery in the house would be dead. That year for Christmas all I asked for was batteries.
To be clear, it was my Gameboy and my copy of Tetris…

dharmacurious,

You poor thing. I’m so sorry! That sounds genuinely terrible

SturgiesYrFase,
@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

Hey, could’ve been worse. At least she was addicted to Tetris, not a raging alcoholic or addicted to meth or something.

dharmacurious,

Very true! Haha

When I was around 22 or so, my mom won a free tablet from a contest online, and got this absolutely terrible android tablet, even by then current (2012) standards. But it did have angry birds. She played so much angry birds that it had noticable grooves in the plastic of the screen from aiming. Lol

My dad (clean now!) decided to try crack at 40 and spent the next 15 years taking us on a wild ride of addiction and absolutely bullshit. I’d definitely take a game addiction over that. Lmao

@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

The slippery slope is when a game addiction turns into a gambling addiction.

Glad to hear your dad’s clean. Hope everything is good for you ❤️

dharmacurious,

Yeah, me and mama both share a tendency towards that. I have to be very careful around gambling, so does she.

And hey, thanks! Yeah, life is swell most days :) Hoping the same for you

Fair enough, it’s important to know what your potential speed bumps are.

Glad to hear that things are going good for you. On the whole, life’s pretty good for me too.

Will Wright! We need you, now more than ever! We need simulation games! We need llamas! We need a great vision of weird fun you can have! Will Wright is…Will Wright is apparently busy with an AI powered game that looks extremely vaporware. Nooooo…

I go the other way. When AA/AAA batteries are too weak for high drain devices, I save them for my remote controls. They usually last for months due to the intermittent use and low wattage.

Lumelore, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

I love the type of gameplay that the Sims (specifically building and character creation, other stuff is boring af) has but it sucks so much to play because it’s so limited unless you spend thousands on all the dlc. I am a game dev (well, I call myself that but I’ve never released anything cuz I’m too busy with finishing up college rn) and I really want to make a life sim game one day. I’ve seen plenty of indie life sims fail unfortunately, but I’m still going to try anyways. I have a few ideas I haven’t seen anyone else do. So many of these games fail that I’m not afraid to try something a bit crazy and hope it sticks.

Awesome! It is a wonderful handheld.

OH GOOD LAWD FINALLY THANK YOU CHEEZUS 🙏🙏🙏

It has been an absolute struggle trying to avoid spoilers.

Xenny, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

New sims game? This is the first I’m hearing of it. A complaint thread on Lemmy. Game’s DOA

RabbitMix,

no, that’s the problem, there won’t be a new Sims game. Sims 4 has been a zombie of a Sims game since it came out 10 years ago and EA just announced that they’re more than happy to let it’s corpse shuffle around for the foreseeable future, rather than make a Sims 5 that people actually like.

Xenny,

Oh I thought we all agreed that the Sims 4 was trash and that we would stick with the Sims 3 forever

HAL_9_TRILLION, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

I recently was holding out hope for a franchise that was similarly treated. I can tell you from experience that Sims 5 will make a billion dollars and they will then fire all the programmers who made it.

If you can force Vulkan, you cna use DXVK to get it to support DX12 features. Might be a pain in the ass to get it to work though. Not even sure if GTA4 will run on Vulks .

Bustedknuckles, do games w Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th.

As a PC player, I’m glad our hardware cousins get to play 1.6 - it’s a good update and ConcernedApe again going above and beyond. What I’m most excited for though is that this may mean Haunted Chocolatier gets back into development. Fields of Mistria did a good job scratching the itch before I ran out of Early Access content, but I’m really looking forward to seeing what Barrone comes up with in his next game

kerrigan778,

I don’t think ConcernedApe does the console and mobile versions, I would assume he got back to Haunted Chocolatier after 1.6 dropped on PC. Pretty sure he licenses the porting process.

Bustedknuckles,
kerrigan778,

Huh, fair enough

jeff,
@jeff@programming.dev avatar

He did at one point. I think he’s said that he likes being in full control of the project, so he took back over the porting process.

It’s really impressive that a single developer does as much as he does.

lagomorphlecture,

You might like Chef RPG. It’s early access but it’s been fun and the developer seems very responsive.

Look forward to Inzoi, I think it launches next year, they released the character creator to try it.

Mango, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

Why is nobody competing with them? It doesn’t seem like a hard type of game to make, and they’re doing such a terrible job that it should be easy to compete with them.

Who’s got a Sims alternative?

deus,

The fact that there aren’t many alternatives likely means that making a Sims-like game isn’t as simple as it looks. That being said, there are a bunch of life sims under developement right now (probably because EA is doing a terrible job) such as Paralives, Inzoi and Alterlife.

Mango,

Ooohhh, Inzoi and Alterlife both look really good!

Tarquinn2049,

Just a heads up, Alterlife likely never got off the ground. They mocked up a demo video with store assets 3 years ago, but were never heard from again. I still have it on my wishlist, but my hopes are not up, lol.
