donuts, do gaming w The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing

Lol, I get it but comparing the Switch 2’s tiny screen to €600-2000 OLED gaming monitors is fucking pointless (it’s where the 100 times slower comes from).

B1ackmsth,

It’s also terrible compared to the first switch’s screen though.

donuts,

Yeah it’s not good, it’s just a weird thing to put in the headline. It’s like comparing a new hatchback with its competition, but then also say it’s slower than the newest Ferrari. I think that should be a given as it’s a fraction of the price

ysjet,

Except other testers found it to be ~4ms faster than the switch 1, in tests where they actually give their methodology.

Monitors unboxed just went “yeah it’s 30+ms, source: trust me bro”

arin,

Pretty sure phones have better screen responsiveness

Bought it a few years ago. Super cool, though I probably only messed around with it a couple hours before forgetting about it.

What “Mojo” are you talking about? The downfall and enshittification? Is that the “mojo” you want other companies to replicate? I fucking hate games “urinalists”. Nothing but shit, paid opinions and nonsense.

regdog,

What specifically has gotten worse in the last years?

I miss FilePlanet. That’s where I got my first Morrowind mods many years ago

At least GameBanana still exists, though there aren’t as many uploads there as Nexus. Still good that there’s an alternative

CalipherJones,

Does anybody remember Cheat Planet or is that just me

Nexus Mods is far too late on the monetization aspect. The restrictions placed on mod downloading sucks, and it hard pushes buying a membership. Not to mention they basically gave up on vortex and its a buggy mess even if you run it native.

GunValkyrie,

They gave up on vortex to make the nexus mods app. Which is pretty impressive so far. I would recommend reading the articles from the makers of it that discuss how they are making it and why. It’s really interesting.

I have been using the nexus mods app for cyberpunk and it’s really slick and easy.

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

I wasn’t aware there was a replacement that was suitable. I will have to look into that soley on the fact there seems to be a linux native release, thank you.

GunValkyrie,

Yeah I have my worries in the sale of nexusmods.com. But everything i have read about the new app is really promising and the people working on it have worked on other major mod managers in the past as well. So they seem to know what they are doing. It’s still in really early alpha so if you use it, make backups. Sometimes you have to completely uninstall and then reinstall to update which is annoying. But thats the cost of using alpha software.

I have a bridge to sell anyone who believes that.

abfarid, do games w 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events
@abfarid@startrek.website avatar

I’m pretty sure this happened because sooo many players complained about the event the last times. I remember boycotts and stuff.

I’m not saying Jagex isn’t bad, but this time it’s on players.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Jagex never listens to the players when they should, so they dont get to hide behind the playerbase for this one.

abfarid,
@abfarid@startrek.website avatar

I mean, they listen sometimes. But the point is, they, as any other company, were doing it to pretend that they are cool and progressive. As the result they got mostly negative reactions. So why bother with the effort if you’re only gonna reduce your already dwindling player base. IIRC, they were very small symbolic events anyway.

HappyFrog,

While I agree that ss14 and the robust engine is better, I don’t think that ddosing a game is the right way of doing this.

no i mean the hacker should do that instead

kn0wmad1c, do games w Former Dragon Age writer says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 prove 'what's possible when a game is given time to cook'
@kn0wmad1c@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, or keeping suits who aren’t gamers away from making calls about the game’s development.

CosmoNova,

That‘s the critical one. It‘s not about budget or outsourcing or whatever. It comes down to who makes the decisions and why. In a lot of cases it‘s people with a finance background who couldn‘t care less about the medium they‘re working with and that can be a major issue. Gaming being a bigger industry than music and film combined has attracted a lot of people who only think in dollar bills and it shows. Luckily however, there are still a lot of passionate teams with leaders who have a love for games.

CrowAirbrush, do games w Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets

They need to go bankrupt, honestly.

Behaviour like this should end your company.

HParker,

I would be sad for the good artist and developers at bungie to loose their jobs. Hopefully they are more careful and the artist ends up happy with the result of their talks.

CrowAirbrush,

First offense, sure.

But they’ll just keep being scum so it needs to come back to them.

HParker,

Yeah, i do hope it hurts their reputation and game sales. I think we 99% agree. Hopefully this results in better games without ethical lapses in the future.

ABetterTomorrow, do games w Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets

When you have money and power then get caught doing something, ask for forgiveness and create a awful situation to pay the artist less and throw in that small tiny hint of “no more money later, no royalties, we own everything and you get small check….byeeeeeee” (aka the middle finger)

MarcomachtKuchen, do games w The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no

Honesty they are pretty average for prepainted miniatures. Painted miniatures at this scale is just not something that’s easy to do or cheap.

ms_lane,

Which is surprising in this day and age.

Laser scanning is possible, 6-axis milling machines exist and on a subminiature scale.

Why is there no 6-axis painting machine? I understand there are 3D printers that can do this, but 3D printing costs more than just making a die (or reusing a similar die from another model) at a certain scale.

UniversalBasicJustice,

Money. 6-axis isn’t cheap to run or maintain, especially at this scale with the desired precision. Add in the inherent issues of working with a variety of paint colors (especially aerosolized), subtract the ability to mask features from over spray. Their prices would have to make Warhammer look bargain bin in order to recoup the costs of the machine, maintenance and consumables.

MarcomachtKuchen,

Archon Studios recently introduced a mayor new technology into the hobby with Prismcast. This “printer” basically paints curved 2,5 D surfaces which you glue together to make a fully 3D model. AFAIK there is no way to make this technology in 3D

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

They don’t care, same reason they still use casting and resin and don’t move to 3D printing.

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

Painting them yourself is easier than ever though! Contrast paints and washes alone can accomplish amazing things. Trust me, if you’ve thought about trying, do it. You can absolutely do a better job than that in no time.

And everyone’s hands shake, you work around it :)

ghostlychonk,

The quality wouldn’t have been an issue I’d imagine if the pre release images hasn’t shown high quality minifigs. This is now typical WotC fuckery.
