Oh gosh, thank you!

Now I’ll repeat what I do whenever I post these:

I solemnly swear it will be a full week before the next of these posts

(…maybe it’ll be sooner!)

mesamunefire,

I feel like I need to have your account on RSS or something. Your posts are bigger and more interesting than most of my other RSS feeds lol.

I have a miyoo mini plus btw. Great little device.

The great disappointment of the Miyoo family has been the Flips! Even the new V2 version looks to be a bit of a mess, though as always with these - YMMV!

I adore my Miyoo, every time I look at alternatives I just can’t bring myself to replace it!

mesamunefire,

I’m planning on getting a flip v2 in August. I’m really hoping it will be better than what some say.

I want more ports! Stardew on a small console like that is a dream.

Although the work the devs (and a tiny bit myself) have put into onion os makes the MMP and MM so good to play. And 3d printed handles make the MMP easier in my hands!

I personally found the new Zelda games to be empty feeling, characters felt bland. Overly annoying combat system where you weapons are constantly breaking, puzzles were ok. Just felt like a massive chore to even like this game. I’d much rather play link to be past again then this new stuff but that’s my opinion.

I just can’t enjoy my time playing it.

Definitely agree! I barely played TotK because, aside from the flying stuff together aspect, I’d already done everything I wanted in BotW. I did my exploring, my climbing, my juggling weapons during combat. I’ve done had more than my fill of those dinkly little shrines.

BotW is better imo because of what it was: new and surprising. TotK was good but (aside from some gimmicks that made driving around a bit more creative and streamlined) more of the same.

Anyway thanks for sharing!

This is very interesting to me because I wanted to keep going after BoTW ended. ToTK is like a full game sized DLC with all new gameplay elements, so it was exactly what I wanted. It’s kind of like an indulgent victory lap showing off all the cool stuff the engine can do with some new tools to play with. I will say that this is enough for me. Really hoping they do something completely original again.

Another fantastic read! I particularly enjoyed the funny shaped consoles section!

Ironically I felt like I had to leave a few out, I found so many interesting custom consoles lately!

Can we see the study ?? Let’s see how credible it is

silverlose,

Not the actual paper but here ya go

www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33613781

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

So no citations & only a mere opinion ? So it’s clear as day then. It’s a misandric hit-piece (off course it’s from BBC)

MrConfusion,

What are you talking about? The BBC article references the research paper directly?

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4503401/

@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I probably disable JS then, I apologize

About Evo-Psych, you probably should see this then

silverlose,

There are SO many sources on this it’s obvious you didn’t even bother to look.

Here’s the paper

journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjo…

Maybe do some research for once in your life?

ThomasCrappersGhost,

WTF? Go and spend a day in the big wide world.

In the 90s I watched something and there was a woman that was becoming a fairly competent go cart racer, she quit cause the men she was competing against couldn’t stand “losing to a girl” and got quite nasty about. This won’t be a credible source though, will it?

MITM0, (edited )
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Of course not. Especially with supportive people like you

Since we are talking about the real world; did you deliberately omit the fact that men playing video-games are called pathetic & deadbeat losers regardless of whether they’re champions or not ?

roguetrick,

You’ll need an audience with a much larger inferiority complex if you want that sort of claim to resonate.

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Why should one need an audience for that claim, when the evidence is right there on the internet & IRL

ThomasCrappersGhost,

Just seen your edit. Before I answer this question, are you seriously asking to be judged fairly after judging others unfairly?

Kuranashi,

So that makes it okay to shit on women in games? Go cope elsewhere, incel.

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Men get shat on as well but, I guess we are n9t going to address that huh, if you’re going to virtue-signal as an Egalitarian, then act the part

& ah the incel slur, what are you ?? A sex-obsessed creep ?

Should I be worried about your mental well-being ?

Kuranashi,

Take your mask off and see what happens, incel. It’s always the same fucking formula, go and whine about your own tiny little insecurities every single time anything about women’s experience is highlighted.

You’d find something between your ribs irl real quick if you took off your mask around the people in your life and they found out how incapable you are of even reading about half the population of the Earth’s perspective without self inserting your pathetic insecurities.

MutilationWave,

Incel culture has always existed it just didn’t have a way out if its mom’s basement without the internet.

I wonder what kind of person judges people (Men to be precise) as sub-humans because they didn’t have sex with a woman ?

lol incel club has been infested with other creepy stuff waaaay beyond just that somewhile ago. today’s incels are low level IQ insults to the people who were the true incels of before, like those intelligent people who came up with 15 feb and so on.

move to the part after 2005s or so I would say. you can also find various documentaries online on how it evolved over time.

softcat,

I tend to think the average person is extremely judgmental and desperate for status hierarchy. In part that’s the conclusion of the study. As you can see in the other IQ-obsessed reply, it’s not exactly uncommon.

variouslegumes, do games w What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

Super Mario Bros 3 after playing the all stars version.

prole,

Probably nostalgia, but I prefer the original graphics…

The All-Stars versions of all the NES classic mario games do it for me better than the originals.

So many idiots don’t know this one secret. It’s like they have to work to pay for basic needs or something stupid like that.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

I know! I worked and slaved for 30 years only to find out they were right all along!

xtapa, do games w One-handed games?

Papers please should be playable with one hand only and is great at burning time

DigDoug, do games w One-handed games?

One really handy thing with the Steam Deck is the ability to remap all of the buttons (as well as the two paddles on the back for each hand), so one could probably make a decent one-handed control setup for 99% of turn-based games. Even ones that require the use of the mouse, given the Deck’s touchpads.

Vampire Survivors requires nothing except the stick/dpad outside of menus (and I’m pretty sure you can use the touchscreen for menus, too).

If your friend(s) are stuck using the dpad, it might not be suitable, but Crypt of the Necrodancer only requires four buttons or left, right, up, and down (and you can assign buttons for the button combos normally required to do things like use bombs). This assumes that they like rhythm games.

@Ellvix@lemmy.world avatar

I second Vampire Survivors

capt_wolf, (edited ) do games w One-handed games?

Just FYI, there are a number of controllers out there for people who only have the use of one hand that are relatively cheap. I don’t always have the use of both hands, and I can definitely say that it’s possible to learn to use regular controllers effectively one handed as well. Both the Logitech F710 and the 8Bitdo Pro 2 work really well in my opinion. People have laughed at me, but the 8bitdo Zero 2 surprisingly works really well too, but is much more limited for inputs and thus, more suited to retro games.

gonzo-rand19, do games w One-handed games?

I think you should be able to play Organ Trail one-handed. It's a zombie apocalypse version of Oregon Trail.

BagOfHeavyStones,

Organ Trail... What's the objective?

gonzo-rand19,

The objective is to make sure you have enough supplies to survive for as long as you can while making it across America to a place safe from zombies.

I believe the goal is ultimately to get to Canada (I haven't played in a while) but I might be mixing it up with Death Road to Canada, which is similar in premise but probably not something you could play one-handed.

josefo, do gaming w Tetris

The original roguelike

Piemanding,

Rogue came out in 1980, while Tetris came out 4 years later in 1984. Some nice bit of trivia there.

Ephera, do gaming w Tetris

I mean, what even is the point of winning a game? Ah yes, now I get to click through half an hour of dialogue and cutscenes, so that I can then not play the game anymore, because I’ve ‘completed’ it. Really, completing a game sounds like a scam invented by Big Game to sell more games. Like, oh yeah, we’ve made our game so fucking boring that players want it to be over with, so they can buy another of our boring ass games and play that to completion instead.

pennomi,

Different people like different things, believe it or not.

Ephera,

Well, I was hoping my comment would be ridiculous enough to make it clear that it’s in jest, but apparently not. 🫠

I mean, I do strongly prefer a gameplay loop you can (want to) play forever over story-driven games, but I am very much aware that this is a personal preference.

WorldsDumbestMan,

Life is the same. What is the point in “winning life”, just so I can be burried with some medals, and remembered for a few years, before being forgotten, while everything I did is undone.
