I‘m enjoying these, I played through Max Payne 2 a lot during my teenage years and everything I found something new even though it’s „just“ a linear shooter.

These last few years i think i’ve started to develop a love of Linear Shooters, or games in general. There’s something charming about them compared to Open World games. Not to say Open World games are bad. but i’ve definitely been burnt out on them with how many we have now

Good.

Take as much advantage of money-spenders as possible. Show them who’s in charge.

I can’t see SMB3 without remembering that once I was playing it with my brother and my dad comes in, saying he hates that game.

Later, we ask him why does he hate the game, he says he’s really got no reasons, but still hates the game.

ameancow,

My dad would routinely come in and see anything we had going on the TV, from cartoons to video games, and express how much he hated that thing, or how he didn’t understand how we could enjoy it.

Parents out there… don’t do this. Stop feeling envious or resentful of children for being able to be happy.

MonkeMischief,

I would get this kind of weird “what the heck are you watching/playing” criticism and I think it was mainly a weird play to get to the TV so he could watch football or screaming heads cable news. . .

I felt really self conscious about anything I chose to watch myself in full view for a long time. Namely anime. Anime always knew when a parental figure lurked nearby and would choose that moment to get really weird.

kadaverin0,

One of my father’s girlfriends did this to my younger brother and I as kids. She legitimately hated it when we experienced any kind of joy or contentment and would immediately try to cut us down or cause a problem to ruin it. She is one of the few people I’ve met in life that I consider a truly bad person.

ameancow,

That sounds like some serious jealousy/resentment/narcissism, I’m sorry you had to go through that.

3 is extremely cool and all, epecially for what NES can output. But SMW has an insane mechanics with higher skill ceiling. Speaking as a player who haven’t played any of these two but watched some pros/speedrunners play them.

bridgeenjoyer,

There’s people alive who haven’t played these??

TIL

buttnugget,

Probably going to be more common as we get further out. People who were born in the 2000s are technically adults now.

As per my understanding, Sweet Baby Inc was/is a DEI consultant that would advise on accurate portrayal of minorities in games that wished to have them represented.

How accurate they were/are or how much their input is being used, I can’t say, however the easily swayed have taken to the idea they’re an evil shadowy cabal that mind controls companies and has them add brainwashing techniques meant to bring about the downfall of western society (the MAGAts that is).

nogooduser, do games w Baldurs Gate 3 - spoilers

I had a terrible first play through.

Tap for spoilerI lost Gale to the rift because I didn’t understand the DnD mechanics and chose the strength option on a rogue. I chose the Druid over the Dark Elf and then failed to find the quest starter for the blight thing. I lost Laezel (sp?) to the zombie girl.

ragingHungryPanda,

oh that’s rough. it took me a lot of learning for that stuff too. I missed Gale because the game said the portal was unstable and have me the option to use it, so I looked around and couldn’t find anything portal related and then it disappeared

Nice try to rally the troops to grift some hate/simpathy sales from the dumb dumbs who can’t see this for the blatant exploitative marketing attempt it really is.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Hmm… I was about to disregard this, but it’s only a day old account, so you might be right…

Isolde,

Yeah, I joined this platform because I was sick of how caustic Reddit is, apparently it reaches all the corners of the internet. Thanks for the unwarranted doubt; and for contributing nothing.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

You are right, it contributed nothing to the post except adding some toxicity, my apologies.

Welcome to Lemmy!

Isolde,

If you’re being genuine I appreciate it. I get bots are literally a blight on the internet, but you can’t assume everyone is! Thanks for the welcome. :)

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I try to make Lemmy a welcoming place for everyone, at least where I can, so no excuses for that.

Have fun!

Isolde, (edited )

Nice attention grab from someone who also has nothing meaningful to contribute. Why should I care who buys it, and what do I get from marketing for them?

Maybe the real question is, does diversity scare you? Are you going to cry if I ask your pronouns?

verdi,

Nice bait.

Isolde,

Yeah, I really posted this to attract the smooth brain club. As if people like you have anything to add. You can just ignore things that don’t resonate with you. To me it seems like you baited yourself

verdi,

Clearly I’m the uncivilized one in this dialogue. You can tell from the petty insults and strawmen.

Isolde,

You said something truthful, how does it feel? Others can tell by the lack of character you possess and the lack of content in your comments. Thanks for having some awareness, that’s progress.

verdi,

Thank you, your insults are so well crafted I feel a single wrinkle forming in my smooth brain.

Isolde,

You might not have anyone to talk to, and I’m genuinely sorry for you, but why persist in replying to someone you don’t agree with? You seem to want some engagement whether negative or not. I honestly wish you the best, because it seems like you’re trying extremely hard to grab attention, get a reply, and have some reply. Just know you can do that positively, and if you did, I’d forgive you for it.

verdi,

Second wrinkle just formed. Keep going…

Isolde,

There isn’t any more. Honestly, it’s just you. You can keep commenting to no end, but my kindness does expire. No one is going to want to be part of your community if you don’t see a need for kindness. Why don’t you keep going? Maybe there is someone here who is the same sort of desperate. Maybe you can find them. This is why communication and communities exist.

verdi,

Three wrinkles, a few more posts and I’ll cure cancer.

Isolde,

How nice.

verdi,

I know, right!

Isolde,

Tell me more.

Isolde,
verdi,

Don’t starve like, not great, not terrible, at home in a Deck. Demo is appreciated. Attempts at viral marketing by stirring culture war, are not. It’s a European game, largely subsidised by Danish grants, their absence from the Danish diversity charter is kind of conspicuous in the face of this clunky attempt at going viral with US culture war BS… Someone should return their marketing degree and ask CBS their money back.

Isolde,

That’s an interesting take, I don’t know why you decided not to lead with that.

Isolde,

If you can recommend a cozy/farming game other than this, I’ll gladly return it if I don’t already own it. Otherwise their drama doesn’t really have anything to do with me.

Isolde,

What do you think?

Steam Forums are one of the worst unmoderated hellholes on the internet. It pains me that Valve keeps letting this shit keep happening.

Katana314,

I understand Valve being libertarian about not moderating people excessively, what I’d like to see are better tools like shared blocklists or general moderation for any developer that doesn’t wish to control their own Community page.

Soupbreaker,

I’ve read comments to this effect for years, and the only time I see objectionable shit on Steam is in reviews for intentionally political meme games like the recent one about putting up flags in the UK. Typically my only exposure to the forums is when I’m looking up obscure puzzle solutions, but the worst comments I ever see are just stupid or unhelpful. I imagine it’s worse for big multiplayer games, but I tend to avoid those, so maybe that’s why I don’t see the problem.

Two years ago, one of my favorite games made some very minor cosmetic tweaks, and that was enough to attract a horde of post-Gamergaters crying that this is the downfall of western civilization. Two years later, the board for that game is still under seige by trolls that have rendered it unusable for anyone who actually wants to talk about the game. Every now and then a Valve mod will lock one thread, and then the trolls just make another and it continues.

Soupbreaker,

That sucks! I’m sorry. They really ought to moderate it better.

prettybunnys, do astronomy w I made a custom TRMNL plugin to tell me whether it’s worth taking the telescope up!

trmnl device looks perfect for my use case ( on the wall output of my greenhouse sensor data ), how do you find the plugin writng?

Is the 20$ developer edition upgrade required?

Would love to know your experience

TheFunkyMonk,

I’m honestly not sure if the developer edition is required to make custom plugins, I got the Clarity Kit upgrade for the battery upgrade, which apparently also includes the developer edition. Probably worth reaching out to them for clarification.

As for my experience, their web UI for making private plugins basically lets you provide an API endpoint for data and an interface to paste in templates (using Liquid templating). So all of my logic is completely outside of the TRMNL system in a custom API I mostly vibe coded and am hosting on a cheap server, which effectively gave me infinite freedom to build whatever I wanted and just have TRMNL handle the UI. So you could really use whatever language you prefer and just return JSON to the TRMNL. Since the logic was decoupled, I also threw together a web version using the same API.

Here’s the API code if you’re curious!

Cris16228, do games w Pokmeon Pokopia's retail release will be a game-key card

So it’s just a fancy physical code? You don’t have to write it in the shop… Wow

BreakerSwitch,

Worse. You need to use the card to play the game, even though it’s just a key to unlock downloading the game. Worst of both worlds.

Your post made me look and boy are they butt hurt :D

I read through a few threads and what’s pretty telling it’s that they can’t name a specific thing that’s bad with the game and SBIs fault. It’s always “look it up”, “you can Google it”, “how come your haven’t heard yet?” but nothing substantial.

If you liked the demo, I’d go for the game. Have to admit it didn’t look half bad to me either, so I wishlisted it. Maybe let the community here know what you think about it, after a few more hours of playtime and if you found any shoehorned diversity.

Isolde,

Hahaha that’s priceless. I thought they were just wrong and loud, but I also don’t really pay attention to stuff like that. I more so didn’t want to give money to actually awful people (EA’s soon to be owners) and that would be the only thing that would stop me from getting it.

I’ll let you know, but playing through the demo I feel like it’s going to be a really good game.

actionjbone, do games w Winter burrow SBI controversy

Everyone who bitches about “wokeness” is, in fact, a bigot.

Bigotry is always evil. Bigots should be shunned and deplatformed.

Isolde,

100%

actionjbone,

I laugh at the person who downvoted me.

The only reason someone would downvote me is if they are a bigot.

Soupbreaker,

I always downvote any post or comment that complains about downvotes, especially when the commenter claims that downvotes are somehow proving their point. This is probably the only exception I’ve ever made, because you’re right.
