Uniquitous, do gaming w TheGamer website suffers widespread editorial layoffs

Is this a “we’re just gonna let AI do it” kind of thing? Because I think there’s going to be a market for 100% human non-AI content opening up. I think some people would be happy to pay a premium for it, even if it’s just Patreon-level dollar a month stuff.

Honestly surprised anyone who could claim to be a journalist was left in that advertising front of an industry

Sadly not surprising when so many get laid off ☹️

final fantasy III (us III, the magitek mech kefka one) has tunes I STILL use as background music on audio production: magitek factory, the intro and shadow’s theme specifically

the idea this god damned genuis would let an algorithm write music he’s bother to even listen to is madness

Die4Ever, do gaming w Microsoft support for Windows 10 officially ends today, but a third of Steam players still use it | VGC

I’ll be really curious to see the next few months of the Steam Hardware Surveys to see if Linux usage goes up a bit. Can we hit 3% this year? September already ended at 2.68% (+0.04%)

would be awesome, but the Steam Hardware Survey also reflects that the majority of users just want to use the thing that simply works. Low-end components and 1080p have dominated those charts for years and years now. For that 97% of users stuck on Windows, you can be sure that almost all of them will just click “upgrade to 11” and be done with it. Sounds like 2/3 of them are already there, the remaining 1/3 are probably waiting til the last minute, or they are in Europe and they get to wait an extra year.

SnotFlickerman,

or they are in Europe and they get to wait an extra year.

This is being offered in the USA, too, you know. You have to submit to logging in with a Microsoft account and allowing them to back up your system preferences to the cloud.

Secondly, the onerous TPM 2.0 requirement is actually what is going to stop a lot of those low-end computers from upgrading. I recently was helping a friend with what seemed like a relatively recent machine and I was shocked to find it still has a BIOS and not a UEFI and I had to redo my installation disk to support MBR partitioning instead of GPT partitioning. People like that will be SOL and simply won’t be able to upgrade, even if they want to.

i_ben_fine,

I hear if we hit 3%, we automatically get ballot access in the next election.

Rose,

No need to turn to piracy when there are free official ways to do the same.

Cevilia,

This is the most convenient way I had access to to share the available options for info. I’d love a similar list of official methods.

Rose,

Here.

Powderhorn, do gaming w Quantic Dream’s first multiplayer game is Spellcasters Chronicles, a 3v3 strategy action game | VGC
@Powderhorn@beehaw.org avatar

Totally offtopic, but I misread the title on first glance and wondered who in their right mind would enjoy Spellcheckers Chronicles with friends.

Malgas,

I imagine you could do something entertaining with that premise, in a Typing of the Dead sort of way.

So far, they are continuing to say they are still working on it.

Microsoft also said perfect dark’s reboot was being worked on.

Are we defending the Saudi regime with whataboutism? Is that what we’re doing now?

brsrklf, (edited ) do gaming w US senators voice concerns over ‘foreign influence and national security risks’ in Saudi-funded EA acquisition | VGC

Is EA still using the cube-sphere-pyramid thing? Or is that a generative AI somehow scraping and/or remaking an old logo?

Or maybe they retrieved them from Britannia back from when they used them to destroy magic. They definitely still do that.

Knowing VGC, I would assume the writer just pulled it straight from their press kit. I tried to check the press kit in their site, but EA is big enough that they make journalists register for a press portal to see that kind of thing.

LodeMike,

Its what the executives are currently learning with

Lfrith, do games w PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC

It seems soon because it feels like barely anything came out in terms of exclusives for the PS5. Naughty Dog didn’t even come out with anything that wasn’t a remake.

rafoix,

Sony spent this entire generation making live service games are were DOA or failed after years of development.

People generally buy Sony consoles for their single player exclusives. It seems like that is not a factor to consider for their next console.

I’m not interested in PS6. I’m more interested in building a Steambox to avoid Windows 11.
