    what are you mad at? This is bg3, a “rigid computer game”, what does wotc’s physical books have to do with a free update?

  • JustARaccoon,

    It’s a pre-written balanced set of classes to try out, it’s not a requirement to play d&d and you can also just homebrew your own stuff. I don’t see how shouting at the sky about an optional purchaseable module helps

    duchess,

    ok sry

    prole,

    How is more options a bad thing?

    Isn’t this a free patch?

    caseofthematts,

    Believe they’re talking about in D&D, the TTRPG itself.

    prole,

    Oh OK. And here I thought I was in a thread about a video game 😉

    caseofthematts,

    It doesn’t make much sense, does it?

    duchess,

    Sorry I rambled

    prole,

    Awe man, you didn’t have to delete your comment… I was just busting your chops, I thought your comment added to the conversation.

    duchess,

    Ratio suggested it was quite upsetting for many people :(

    prole,

    Meh who cares what people think lol

    hibsen,

    Eh, I’d allow it; it’s tangentially related and a complaint about capitalism. Win-win.

    Wooki, (edited ) do games w Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming

    handheld pc gaming

    Sounds impressive until you see the qualifier

    pc

    Not that impressive.

    Compare it to the whole handheld gaming market!

    TheresNodiee,

    The whole handheld gaming market is pretty small. There’s the Switch which outsold the last couple gens of Xboxes and PlayStations. Good luck beating that. Besides that you have smartphones which just about everyone owns and only a handful of brands being especially popular. Then you have dedicated Android having handhelds and handheld emulation machines which are extremely niche.

    So either you’re looking at extremely popular and widely owned handheld devices with extensive histories and customer loyalty or extremely niche devices. Not really a great comparison.

    Wooki,

    the whole handheld gaming market is pretty small

    Wat!

    Sourced from wikipedia: switch has sold over 150 million units.

    150 million

    small

    TheresNodiee,

    Small as in not a lot of competitors…

    Wooki,

    Its no different to the console market. Essentially a duopoly

    TheresNodiee,

    Ok and? What’s your point?

    I’m just saying there’s not much competition in the handheld space. Either you have massively popular products with an extensive history or extremely niche devices. The handheld PC market is still fairly nascent and Steam Deck dominating it and popularizing it so much (even if it’s not that much compared to, say, the Switch) is still significant.

    If you mean the switch, then it has been thoroughly squashed. If you mean phones, well I think we can agree they are not really competing for the same customers, and if you think they do, most people are buying phones for reasons other than gaming. So you’d need a way to section the market for “gaming phones” (yes, that’s a thing).

    Wooki,

    Hahaha You are delusional. Switch has sold over 150million units.

    @lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

    Yes, it squashes the steam deck, that’s what I said.

    uninvitedguest, do games w The $900 Ayaneo 3 is the most exciting PC handheld the company’s yet made
    @uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

    Dunno. Despite the swappable inputs, there is still no way to get trackpad + joystick + buttons/dpad at the same time.

    Dremor,
    @Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

    Trackpad+buttons on the right, joystick+dpad on the left, maybe ? Sure you loose one trackpad and one joystick in the trade, but technically…

    uninvitedguest,
    @uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

    Which is what I mean - any way you slice it, this has 2 inputs less than the Steam Deck (I haven’t looked for the number of grip buttons on this thing).

    I don’t use all the input options on every single game, but there are plenty that I do (namely shooters like Deep Rock, Helldivers, etc and hotkey heavy RPGs like DA Inquisition)

    Genuinely curious, why would someone buy this over steam deck?

    Alphane_Moon,
    @Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world avatar

    The modular capabilities, I/O ports.

    The one thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t support SteamOS and the list of issues with Bazzite does not inspire confidence.

    yggstyle,

    Man I was ready to trash this post as an ad, but this stopped me. IMO you should put your opinion in the post to make for a more compelling interaction… otherwise it’s just an RSS feed with more steps.

    On topic: I like the concept of handheld that can do double duty via oLink etc. With a lot of these handhelds I think we’re on the verge of seeing something finally replace laptops. There’s some hurdles to jump but I genuinely feel like this formfactor is part of the next step.

    technomad,

    Better (more ergonomic) form factor for one thing.

    Steam deck is too damn big, and uncomfortable, in my opinion.

    Its almost like there are consequences of banning something folks don’t understand the full scope of…

    Tattorack, do games w Sony is working on Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 movies
    @Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

    A Horizon movie could work, so long as it’s not going to adapt one of the game’s stories, and works instead as an expansion of the world rather than a retread.

    Helldivers… I’m not seeing it. I’m not seeing it at all. It’ll simply be off-brand Starship Troopers. Besides, what story is there to tell? The game’s direction is partially, in some small part, driven by the way players react to alerts events. You’re not going to capture that in a movie.

    I’m waiting for that new Intel gear.

    TachyonTele, do games w Sony is working on Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 movies

    I like the story, it’s a neat concept. But a Sony movie about it is probably the last thing I’m interested in.

    Unless it stars Dakota Johnson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Jared Leto.

    XeroxCool,

    TIL who Aaron Taylor-Johnson is and that he’s continuing the tradition of having two Marvel characters

    TachyonTele, (edited )

    He’s a 50-50 actor. When he’s good, like in Kickass and Bullettrain, he’s real good. But when he’s bad he’s absolutely horrible, like Godzilla and every superhero movie he’s been in.

    Edit. I want to add that I didn’t even realize it was him in Bullet Train until half way through. He’s pretty entertaining in it.
    The movie itself suffers from a “im sooo smart and clever” syndrome that some movies have. Johnson and whoever played the girl are the good parts of that movie.

    TheFonz,

    Jared Leto? Really? The sexaholic cult leader?

    XeroxCool,

    I beleive it was a complaint about those 3 actors. “it’s almost the least interesting thing, scoring higher than only these 3 features”

    TachyonTele,

    Thank you

    TachyonTele,

    Jokes? Really? In written form?

    TheFonz,

    My bad i got wooshed good haha I deserve it. Im leaving it up tho so I get the down votes I deserve

    TachyonTele,

    Lol i respect that.

    Kissaki, do gaming w GOG’s new preservation program intends to keep classic games playable ‘forever’

    They’ve already been doing that, right? I assume this is marketing more than new or a change?

    theangriestbird,

    Yeah, it’s like they are creating a GOG seal for games that are basically only available because of the special work that GOG does.

    knokelmaat,

    Yeah I believe so. But I’m 100% for it, the work they do deserves recognition.

    Buddahriffic, do games w Take-Two is selling its indie games label Private Division

    How do you sell an indie game studio? Doesn’t sound very independent even before the sale to me.

    josefo,

    It was a indie publisher, not developer, big difference. They published titles from indie studios. Publishing is the act of funding, supervision, sometimes giving advice, doing a launch marketing campaign, etc. In short, indie publishers are key for a indie game to make money, as tradicional publishers tend to avoid them because they are high risk.

    Coelacanth, do gaming w Playdate is getting a second season of games in 2025
    @Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

    Still feels a bit pricey but I’m happy to hear about another season. Some day I might get one just to play the Lucas Pope game.

    GammaGames,

    Mars After Midnight was fun!

    Holy shit I was just thinking about this thing at work and forgot what it was called

    ClassifiedPancake, do gaming w Analogue’s 4K Nintendo 64 launches next year for $249

    Damn I wish they would sell in Europe directly. Ordering anything from Analogue would have ridiculous shipping costs and customs duty so I never got around to ordering the Pocket either. I know there are cheaper options especially for game boy hardware but Analogues is just so sexy.

    Gamers_mate, do gaming w Nintendo has reportedly shut down Ryujinx, the Switch emulator that was supposedly immune

    The lesson here is to download every single working nintendo emulator as a backup and share it with your friends. Emulation is legal after all even if the Nintendo mafia try to shut it down.

    Shiiiiiit. Now I’m really regretting not finishing TOTK on my PC back when I had that set up.
