Fyrnyx, do games w [Lord Frogmire] The Switch 2 is EVIL and I'm Tired of Pretending It's Not
@Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Either wait for sales or just stop crying with these poorly constructed takes already, most of us have been telling you for years about this. It is entirely on you.

nostalgicgamerz,

Continues to pay $80-120 for bare bones product

“why is Nintendo fucccckkkking meeeeee”

Goronmon,

Seems pretty self-inflicted to pay the asking price for a product and then whine that you were “fucked” after the fact.

People can just not buy something if they think it’s too expensive. That’s always an option. I choose not to buy stuff all the time.

This remind me that i haven’t played crosscode and it’s been forever in my wishlist now.

Kolanaki, do games w Who would win Kernel level anti-cheat or middle age man with a Raspberry Pi?
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

A cheater lol

Kernel level anti-cheats don’t appear to work any better than other anti-cheats. Hell, I can’t think of any 3rd party anti-cheat framework that everyond and their brother seems to license out that actually stops cheating to a significant degree. All the games I’ve ever played where it is rare to see a cheater in, if at all, all use in-house solutions.

no rss feed though as far as I can find I found thisweekinvideogames.com/feed by trying random urls and that is a valid url that is accepted by an rss reader and has a name and description but no articles on it even though there’s 10 articles on the site

@LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

Strange, he mentioned RSS in hos video so I would assume it should be there. Couldn’t find it either though so it will probably be around soon. Website literally just launched so.

TastyWheat, (edited ) do games w A big announcement from Skill Up (new website)

Me: scrolling looks good!

Website: This section is available to paid supporters only.

Me: …

im_john_here,

How else do you expect them to pay for something that’s not driven by ads or selling the day-to-day to AI?

LunchEnjoyer, (edited )
@LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

Its viewer funded yes. As described in the video parts of the website will be locked for paid supporters. Imo a solid thing to support these days of AI piss everywhere.

HeyJoe,

I don’t blame them, I also think the pay wall stops AI from stealing everything as well. I just wish they had a $5 tier. It seemed to be one of the big comments on the video, and I agree with it. Sure its less, but I would imagine the extra people gained from that tier would certainly help since its lost money at the moment.

pirateKaiser,

As someone who works for a paywallled website, that’s hardly a deterrent. If the site is important enough, they will pay for accounts and crawl until the server melts

HeyJoe,

Is there any true way to block it? Does the crawler literally use the same access (443) as us to scrape content? If so, the only other thing I can think of is to block all known IP’s that AI crap originates from, but that sounds daunting and impossible to catch everything.

pirateKaiser,

There’s no fullproof way. Even if you somehow block every crawling automation, there’s still puppeteering where the bot behaves just like a normal user.

GreyCat,

That’s in the home page yeah, it’s makde kind of weirdly yea, with a sorft of fake “pop-up”. But you can still access the News and Features without limitations I think… ?

codexarcanum, do games w Being Kyle Katarn - Interview with Jason Court

I’m slightly on the young side for FMV games, but Jedi Knight and Command & Conquer were childhood staples that shaped my tastes in so many weird ways. JK is up there with the original trilogy for “Star Wars that is good and I care about.” Katarn is easily the coolest Jedi.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Mapocolops played through Dark Forces II recently and it was incredible watching those FMVs again that blew my mind as a child. I will always love Kyle Katarn.

However… the level design is absolutely wild! I have no idea how I got through that game as an 8-year-old!

codexarcanum,

I sometimes still have nightmares about those aqueducts and fuel tubes!

nyctre,

Hell yeah! Played those games so much. I remember even duelling online with a classmate. Was great

Donjuanme, do games w The Triple-i Initiative 2025 - Indie games for 2025

Wasn’t this like 40 minutes last year? Damn I’m excited to watch this (especially if it’s like last year’s) but that’s quite a time commitment, maybe over the next couple days.

I think I added half the games from last year to my steam wishlist/follow, unfortunately quite a few are still in development.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

The showcase itself is 1 hour long, the rest is interviews/devs commentary for some of the games.

Donjuanme,

It definitely had more games! Was very satisfied when the previews ended where they did, would’ve been amazing to have more but it was already so much,

Absolutely 10/10 protection, added a fair number of games to my wishlist, and even bought a couple. And It was fun trying to guess what games were before their titles came up.

Is that deep rock galactic going to be another free content update? At first I thought they were finally integrating what they learned from deep rock galactic survivors (and that would explain why they’ve never thought too long on multiplayer), but that has to be way too much for just a content update, right? Jeez coffee stain continues to knock it out of the park.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Absolutely, iii was my most anticipated showcase this year and they delivered big time. Katana Zero DLC was the highlight for me, but I got two more wishlists from the rest of the video as well.

Last year’s showcase was good, but this one blew my mind. I’m already counting the days for next year’s.

Elevator7009, do games w Quite a Ride: Official Reveal Trailer

Clicked hoping for train game, instead found horror biking game.

Pedal through the fog, but never look back.Trapped in a constantly shifting horror, you must ride, conserve your phone’s battery, and decode cryptic messages to escape. Explore, survive, uncover the truth.

—Steam description, link here.

I remember there being some game on iPhone with a title like “Zombies, run!” where they somehow locked progress behind real-life running—that was the whole point of the game, to get you to work out in real life. I think it’d be cool if: if this game succeeds, if a spinoff or adaptation where your progress is locked behind real-world biking was released.

psx_crab,

That would be awesome idea, but i assume the app gonna be running while cycling, meaning player can’t use their cycling app as well.

Elevator7009,

No, I mean a single game that is intended to be run while cycling, not the game + a separate cycling app. Think Pokémon GO but with this game and cycling instead of walking.

Katana314,

Between trains and large ships, I love the feeling of operating large vehicles with multiple rooms. Bonus points if one large vehicle can carry a smaller vehicle.

Examples: Sea of Thieves, Subnautica, many JRPGs with airships, even something like The Last Express.

ka1ikasan, do games w PowerWash Simulator 2 | Announce Trailer

Never played the first one but both of them look stupidly addictive. I feel like it is a chill version of Xonix-like games. Not quite the same but I can vaguely put them into the same genre basket.

capt_wolf,

Definitely the kind of game that you start playing and then suddenly it’s dark out, your boss is mad because you didn’t show up for work today, your parents are calling because you haven’t talked to them in a week, and bill collectors are writing you because you haven’t paid your bills in a couple months…

Highly recommended!

58008, do games w We're remaking Morrowind as a Skyrim mod. Here's a charity livestream we held on the weekend.
@58008@lemmy.world avatar

This will be my first experience of Morrowind, the original is just way too old for me to try getting into now. I’m a Philistine, I know, but I need a modern UI and interface and UX and all that jazz. Skyrim is pretty old at this point too, but it still holds up in all the important ways. So, I shall wait for the release of Skywind! (Could probably have phrased that in a slightly less flatulent way…)

mr_jaaay,
@mr_jaaay@lemmy.ml avatar

I played Morrowind back in the day and I completely agree, I couldn’t play it now, just don’t have the capacity. The journaling in that game of specific quests was pretty bad, as was the horrible leveling system.

Peffse, do games w The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer

I keep seeing “have all DLC” but they seem to be conflating Expansion/Stuff Packs with actual Downloadable Content.

Does The Sims 1 contain all the Maxis website stuff? Is the downloadable Elle Woods no longer lost media?

Does the Sims 2 include all the downloadables from The Exchange? The downloads from Sims Store? The downloadable pre-order bonuses? The downloadable Christmas pack?

Lost_My_Mind,

What about the pizza hut content? 99% of people don’t even REMEMBER the pizza hut stuff!

Peffse,

ooh, do you have any details? I don’t think I heard about this one.

Lost_My_Mind,

So you bought a real physical pizza at pizza hut. Printed on every box at the time was a code. You went to pizza huts website, put in the code, and the page allowed you to download a file. When double clicked, the file modified your sims installation.

So now when you played the sims, before your sim could order a pizza for $40. But now there was another option. “Order the Bigfoot from Pizza Hut.” Which cost $19.99 + sims tax $0.01"

The sims tax was because in real life the BigFoot was $19.99, and they wanted to advertise this, but the game wasn’t programmed to handle decimals in sims 1 money.

Then when your pizza was delivered, it had the same properties as the regular pizza to your sims hunger. But the box was a rectangular box, and made to look like the real thing, which was rectagular box with square slices. The pizza delivery guy was wearing a pizza hut uniform.

And if your sim holds a $40 pizza, the slices are triangle. If they hold a bigfoot pizza slice, they were square.

And the other difference was the $40 pizza, your driver took like 20 seconds to arrive (which was like 40 minutes in game time). A pizza hut driver showed up instantly (which still meant like 10 minutes in game time).

Now here’s the coolest part. The Bigfoot pizza was created by pizza huts senior director of marketing. But you know him better by name as Reggie Fils-Aimé.

I can’t find any evidence that Reggie also was reaponsible for the sims content…but…come on. He created the BigFoot pizza. This content was just marketing for the BigFoot. It’s Reggie. Hkw is this NOT his idea, right?

That’s a fair point. I should’ve gone with the “packs” wording EA used, I guess.

reseller_pledge609, do gaming w First Look at Switch 2

Doubt they’ll have hall effect sensors. That would fix a problem that makes Nintendo money. Can’t have that

Midnitte,

Not really making them money when they’re willing to repair it for free - honestly surprised they didn’t just silently upgrade them to Hall Effect to stem the tide of repair requests

reseller_pledge609,

In that case, I was wrong. I agree that they should have upgraded then.

lazycouchpotato, do games w Lil Gator Game: In The Dark | Announcement Trailer
@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

Enjoyed the first one. The lack of a map was agonizing though. Kept getting lost in the world. I believe you only unlock it after credits roll.

tiramichu, (edited )

I got lost a few times too, but I think they did a good job of providing mitigation for that with specific large landmarks you can see at least one of from anywhere, like the big tree, the mountain, the windmill.

I understand what the devs were trying to do by not having a map. When a map is there, especially an always-on minimap, I basically spend my whole time with my eyes glued to that tiny corner of the screen rather than actually looking at the world. So I can respect the decision to try and do without any map.

jacksilver,

Yeah I liked the free form exploration, felt more like a kid on an adventure.

I my opinion this game did open world design better than most games out there. I personally put it above BOTW, but that’s probably a controversial opinion.

Really excited to hear they’re making a sequel.

tiramichu,

The nice thing about Gator Game was that movement felt so good and fluid. It really is just a game about jumping and climing and bouncing around like a hyper kid.

Given the game doesn’t have ‘combat’ they really really needed to get traversal right because that’s the main draw, and they succeeded in that.
