We need another Steam Alternative & this time it needs to be FOSS

Not sure how I feel about the dev using the internet archive to distribute the game.

By the way, who put it in the “Community software” collection? The game is not open source.

What’s wrong with using the internet archive?

CaliforniaSober,

It paints a target on IA as a piracy distro while it’s plainly not. IA is not in the piracy game but using it to distribute questionable content can raise flags elsewhere.

tux,

How could this be confused as piracy. It’s uploaded by the developers of the game?

CaliforniaSober,

I’m not saying THIS particular instance does but generally using IA for that reason has fed into its detractor’s lame arguments against the site.

Scio,

Noting wrong with the IA whatsoever. But given how harshly they’ve been treated by basically every government and corporate interest groups they’ve been forced to contend with foot the last few years, and the regular DDOSes, I personally always feel guilty downloading things from them and spending more of their resources on “relatively frivolous” things.

In case anyone is wondering, you can add the .exe to steam via games -> add non steam game.

Then once added go to game properties -> compatibility-> force compatibility -> proton

Idk if you need to force it or not but that’s what i did and it’s working

LifeInMultipleChoice,

How do you like the game so far?

nimble,

I poked around it enough to make sure it worked but it says to play it in one sitting so I’ve got to find a chunk of spare time maybe this weekend. I think I’ll like it from what I’ve seen though. Some puzzles to solve and the premise intrigues me

LifeInMultipleChoice,

Oh cool, I wasnt sure about how much space and stuff it’ll take, I’ll book mark this and check this weekend maybe. Thanks for the info .

Id be running on integrated graphics, so games that don’t require much are always nice haha

nimble,

Download was 600mb so hopefully that is reasonable enough

weremacaque,

I goofed around with it but realized I didn’t actually want to do it in one sitting. I’m going to use a notepad and make notes as if I’m actually investigating this guy’s computer. The fact it doesn’t save progress does make it seem more like an investigation.

The dev’s name is Cara Cadaver. Can’t get any better of a name for a horror game dev.

misericordiae, do games w Steam Banned A Horror Game Before It Could Launch, So Now It’s Free

Link to the game is kinda hidden in the article: https://dreadxp.com/vile-is-banned/.

Aatube,

I mean, the article embeds a video plastered with "VILEISBANNED.COM" in warning tape–style text.

I used my Mastercard to donate to the dev. Eat shit credit card companies.

Me too fuck them. Maybe we can make this a trend start selling games direct and stop using Steam and Epic etc platforms. Do it how they did back during the old days as shareware.

    Interesting point but… what else can we do? Mail the dev cash? PayPal direct from bank? CRYPTO. I completely forgot about crypto because of all the shady bullshit. But we buy crypto with… Mastercard. Shit.

    jouhija,

    Crypto might be a good thing overall if it wasn’t infested with tech bro’s and other scum

    Jessica,

    I mean a reasonable solution would be to just move to a different bank that provides Visa instead of MasterCard

    CileTheSane,
    @CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

    Is visa not also part of the problem?

    Jessica,

    Probably, but I don’t know of any others in America and Mastercard is the one currently under fire

    Pavidus,
    @Pavidus@lemmy.world avatar

    The flip side of this coin is, we also get what we want. Devs get paid, and we get games.

    I’m not saying it’s ideal, and I understand your point…but it’s better than not paying. This is just a typical transaction with extra steps.

    MasterCard would allow this!?! Wow, this reflects so badly upon them!

    sturmblast,

    Good job paying Mastercard with your rebellion dollars.

    Well guess better go get this game. How can I support them financially?

    MoreZombies,

    It says on the article and the website they accept donations :)

    Yeah found it downloading game now, also made a donation.

    Megaman_EXE, do gaming w 'No Man's Sky' Just Made You Mayor Of An Alien Planet

    I’ve tried to get into this game a couple of times, but I don’t really understand they systems as a new player. I’ve basically just gotten to the space station hub area, but I don’t really understand what else I’m supposed to do

    PostiveNoise, (edited )

    Almost all of the activities in game apart from gradually upgrading your ship and multi-tool are optional, and mainly 'for fun'. So, focus on learning more about what upgrading your ship would actually entail, and the same for the multi-tool. Overall the game is fairly easy, so enjoy the ride rather than seeking out 'end game' or serious challenge. I think of it kind of like a fantasy of american Car Culture combined with a focus on exploring a bit of many cool looking worlds. You find a really badass car/ship you love, and tweak it out until it's amazing. You also do other stuff if you want to, maybe coming up with your own RPG style story that you invent just to give yourself other goals. You will probably get rich before long, so then you maybe collect more ships and pimp them out and build a cool base (or 5), or get into the Mayor thing, or some of the other game activities. Or just wander until you have had enough of checking out cool planets around the galaxy.

    hopefully it wont be as tedious as running the settlements, got boring really quick

    MagicShel,

    Most tedious part I’ve seen so far is there is so fucking much to upgrade. At least 20 buildings and probably a fair bit more with construction, and they all go C, B, A, S and every upgrade takes time and can only be done one at a time, so getting your town built up is pretty tedious. Time will tell if the rewards are worth it. At least you can get your rewards from all settlements (max 4 I think) just stopping at one. So once you’re built up maybe it’s fine?

    TachyonTele,

    Yeah, I'm not expecting anything from this update.

    BlackLaZoR, (edited ) do gaming w America's Biggest Video Games Union Goes On Strike Over Microsoft Outsourcing
    @BlackLaZoR@fedia.io avatar

    has begun outsourcing quality assurance work without the union's agreement

    Were they obligated to ask union for permission?

    Whopraysforthedevil,
    @Whopraysforthedevil@midwest.social avatar

    I don’t have all the details, but I feel like the union would have a direct interest in that decision. Not consulting them seems like 1) a dumb fuckin move and 2) a good reason for the union to take action.

    BlackLaZoR,
    @BlackLaZoR@fedia.io avatar

    There's quite well defined legal framework of what Unions can and can't do - this shouldn't be a drama topic

    Viri4thus,

    Short answer: Yes

    Long answer: It’s an item in the collective bargain agreement so, yes!

    Aria, do gaming w 'Fallout: London' Is The Most Surprisingly Terrifying Game In The Series

    How does one go about playing this game? Do you need 4 installed?

    moreeni,

    Yup. It’s a mod for Fallout 4. See the official Release page: fallout4london.com/release/

    Aria,

    Ah I see it doesn’t work with the Gamepass or VR versions of 4 which are the ones I have. That’s a shame. Maybe they’ll port to Gamepass in the future.

    LowleeKun, do gaming w 'Fallout: London' Is The Most Surprisingly Terrifying Game In The Series

    Fallout 4’s more modern gameplay? Oh shut up. They lost me right there. Not that i did not enjoy Fallout 4, do not get me wrong. But it sure is not modern in any way that counts. Quite the opposite. It already feeled aged at release.

    Cowbee,
    @Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

    In comparison to Vanilla New Vegas, Vanilla 4 is indeed more modern and smooth to play.

    LowleeKun,

    I did not compare Fallout 4 to New Vegas but to the time it came out. Which is 5 years later btw. New Vegas had a compelling story telling and role playing while Fallout 4 could barely shine with some minor modernizations.

    Cowbee,
    @Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

    Sure, that’s why the post is saying it keeps the modernizations of 4 while treading towards the game design of New Vegas.

    LowleeKun,

    Ok fair enough
