Yes, but most of those games don’t have steam workshop.

Hey, just a quick tip, when posting videos on Lemmy, it’s generally good to include the video length and the channel in the title, and then include a short summary in the post description. You are certainly not required to do any of this, but videos tend to get better responses here when people include those details.

Mohamed,

I agree that that’s useful information. I wonder though, if it is that useful, if Lemmy or the Lemmy app does that automatically?

Telorand,

My instance doesn’t show any of that, and neither does my app. So if anyone has that info automatically, it’s because their instance admin or app dev did that for their specific case.

@Penguincoder Is there any way to set this up?

Penguincoder,

Would require frontend work and maybe some glue for the backend. I think the Photon Front end does some of those embeds. I’m sure there’s others, but not confident that any would work with Beehaw’s older Lemmy version. Better to spend energy on the sublinks convert, or my home-grown alternative Fediverse stack.

Agreed and thanks!

If Lemmy had YouTube embedding, like a certain other platform it’s trying to emulate, this wouldn’t be a problem.

As it stands, it can’t even extract the thumbnail properly. (I have to do that myself.)

yes, using a smaller platform means forgoing some of the conveniences you are used to on a larger platform. but we all make do because we’re here for the community, not the features.

Ashtear, do games w Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer

Didn’t even see the UI. Effectively an in-game cinematic trailer.

Hope there’s more forthcoming soon. Civ’s gotten to a point where I have to know if there’s enough to chew on in the vanilla game if I’m going to buy in early.

Try Daggerfall Unity. Only the engine is newer, also loads of bugfixes and mod support.

hakunawazo,

Thanks, I’ll try it.

pyre,

luckily the last time Bethesda had good writing was Morrowind so you’re not missing much

hakunawazo,

In Morrowind I like the story and the music. But as I explored the battle mechanics, I couldn’t stand the randomness.
Also in a later retries after Oblivion and Skyrim I missed the real talking more than the graphics enhancements.
A bit unfair, I know. Maybe I’m not that game connoisseur myself.

pyre,

yeah but the talking was annoying af. it felt like they had like four people voicing the entire game. meanwhile a small independent studio like supergiant makes a much smaller game fully voice acted but doesn’t feel exhausted as quickly as Skyrim, with thousands of lines both written and performed fantastically. i can’t excuse anything Bethesda is doing anymore. they’re getting worse with every game, both in terms of writing and gameplay.

hakunawazo,

Yes, mostly Wes Johnson with a bit of a very annoyed Sean Bean.
But I have a soft spot for the over the top Sheogorath, the unnecessarily aggressive guard shouts and the calm voice of the Khajiit women.
Some of the other few voices I can’t stand, especially the blacksmith of Chorrol (“A pleeeeasure to serve you”).

hakunawazo,

Found the interview about voicing Oblivion again:

kool_newt, do games w SEGA Reveal Teasers (Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi and More)
freebread,

Damn that’s heartbreaking. Genesis was not only my first console; the earliest conscious memory I have of my life is playing Sonic 2 with my Mom. I know it’s probably different people at the company making these decisions, but retro SEGA means a lot to me and my journey as a person.

aCosmicWave,

Don’t let stuff like this tarnish your memories please. Many of the clothes we wear, food we eat, and products we purchase most likely involved some form of injustice during production or shipping.

It’s not your fault that you were born into a broken system. You found joy in spending time playing with your mom. There is absolutely nothing more innocent than that! Try to be a decent person in your local community and don’t internalize this kind of news too much. Anything else is guaranteed to be a recipe for a miserable life.

PlasticExistence,

Well said. I fully agree.

Lesrid,

Their publishing policies have been terrible lately as well. CA is getting the juice pressed out of them.

If you want to give your money away do it to an established charity where you know where the money is going.

People who give tons of money to twitch or YouTube streamers are goobers/suckers.

kilgore_trout,

I upvoted you because I share the sentiment, but if you spend 2 hours everyday entertained by a single person, then what’s bad in giving them money?

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

If you want to give money to them, nothing. If you are giving them money to give to a charity and they don’t, that’s fraud. It’s the fraud that’s bad.

WarmSoda, do games w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Wave 6 - Course Overview

They’re going to have a hard time selling MK9 when 8 has a bajillion tracks.

HiddenLychee,

Ain’t gonna be a MK9

funnystuff97,

Kinda gives me suspicions that the next console won’t be backwards compatible. They couldn’t market another Mario Kart, or Smash Brothers while I’m at it, if you could just play the old one… unless it’s a significant upgrade.

I sure hope the next console is backwards compatible, or I aint buying it.

echo64,

I mean… mk8 is from the wiiu. This is the exact situation you are describing, it already happened. They just resold that game and many others and people bought them in droves

funnystuff97,

This is true, but the slight difference is that the WiiU extremely undersold. A significant number of people who own a Switch did not own a WiiU-- I myself did own a WiiU, and was bummed to not be able to play Mario Maker, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, 3D World, and so on… but most of my complaints were met with re-releases and sequels. I can’t say I entirely disagree with the decision, again since the WiiU was a major flop, but it would have been nice to have my WiiU library brought over. But for most people, they didn’t care. I mean, MK8D sold more copies than the WiiU itself.

But this is a different ball game. The Switch is a success. Many people own a Switch. The Legend of Zelda games on Switch are among the highest rated video games in history. If this catalog is lost when transferring to the next console, Nintendo would absolutely be shooting themselves in the foot. Historically, Nintendo is somewhat on board with backwards compatibility, but not always, so we’ll see.

echo64,

I guarantee that a switch 2 running botw at 60fps and upscaled to 4k would sell huge numbers.

Epicurus0319,

Eh it will, they just released a new mario game for the current one

citruslumps,

Eh Nintendo Kart equivalent would be a good successor and sell like hot cakes.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Unfortunately they cram at least one of the World Tour tracks into every one of the new cups. I can’t stand playing the new cups because of them

Boiglenoight,

There’s a lot of room for improvement. The physics change from each major entry, and I’d like to see more realistic inertia to everything, and less floaty. Having to generate speed (or control it) to make a jump or stay on course would change the feel of the game and make things more interesting.

Clickbait maybe?

No I’m just dumb. I’ll edit it

CynicRaven,

Thanks for posting the link and also for taking the correction in stride and fixing the submission removing the reference to summoningsalt. None of us are perfect and I’m always glad to see people work to conduct ourselves in a dignified, honorable manner.:)

SandLight,

I really am that dumb. Edited.

Pips,

TIL I can edit post titles on Lemmy. This should prevent some pretty annoying and pointless arguments.

gmtom,

tbf I saw the new title and immediatley thought “Is this a Summoning Salt video?”

ieightpi, (edited ) do games w F-ZERO 99 - Nintendo Switch Online | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023

I think F-Zero 99 is way for Nintendo to gauge the temperature. If the this game ends up getting a big player base and it stays consistent, then they will likely see that proper F-Zero game should be developed.

I remember a while back hearing Nintendo higher ups stating that they weren’t sure the popularity was there for a new game. This is there way to checking.

sylveon,

I thought the same thing but it sucks because I really want a new F-Zero but I can’t see myself playing this a lot. It’s fun for a little bit but just too chaotic for me.

olmec,

I think that is highly wishful thinking. I’m sure Nintendo has been going through the whole back catalog to find ways to make a battle royale of a game. Once someone saw the risk/reward that F-zero had with boosting depleting your life energy, it becomes a big an instant click. Plus, the racing environment allows all 99 players to interact in a way that none of the other games allowed (the other games were merely sending garbage to the other player.). F-Zero 99 is a good concept for the developers of the 99 games to try and apply. It wasn’t designed as a test to see if the community actually cared about the franchise.

Miyamoto has said that the reason we haven’t seen F-Zero again is that the developers haven’t found a way to differentiate the series in a way that will attract players. Although I feel like any of us could come up with a way (HD, Online play, randomized equipment drops,), Nintendo is convinced that these are not strong enough to justify the development cost.

Making bad developers panic maybe?

I can’t imagine something like this makes the Redfall devs feel good about themselves.

Actually Redfall likely doesn’t make the Redfall devs feel good about themselves.

sparky678348,

Such a shame, I was immensely sold on the initial trailer. I did not even end up playing it

Lowbird,

For what it’s worth, I thought it’d be horrible from the reviews and ended up trying it anyway, and I actually really enjoyed it. shrug Rather feels like I played a different game than everyone else.

I’m sure it’s partly the difference between starting with rock bottom expectations vs starting with Prey/Dishonored expectations, but I think even without that I’d like it.

Also, it has no micro transactions! Zero. Not even for cosmetics - those are just unlockables. Credit where credit is due.

Anyway if you liked the look of the trailer and you have gamepass, it’s worth at least trying, imo.

sandriver,

Wasn’t the whole thing with Redfall that it was Bethesda mismanagement? I’m not going to put that on the Redfall team. Does make me completely disinterested in buying any Bethesda games that aren’t mainline TES though.

jordanlund,
!deleted7836 avatar

Looks like it went way deeper than that…

escapistmagazine.com/redfall-development-lost-70-…

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

That’s just part of the mismanagement.

What worries me is that one of the leakers who was leaking shit about Redfall prior to release who was 100% correct about everything, also said he saw Starfield and it was in worse shape than Redfall was. It’s obviously coming out later, but not that much later.

jordanlund,
!deleted7836 avatar

Starfield is a Bethesda game proper and it’s wise to have appropriate expectations. :)

youtu.be/ITOrKb5HP6s

I forget, on launch wasn’t Fallout COMPLETELY broken for Nvidia cards? Or was it AMD? I can’t remember, it was one or the other…

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

While true, the state of Redfall was far worse than the expectation for a mainline Bethesda RPG (comparatively), even as bad as they have been in the past. So saying Starfield was in worse shape still has some hefty weight to it, if the leak is true. It will have at least had more time in the oven for things to be fixed up a bit more in line with normal expectations. And that’s my hope.

stopthatgirl7,
!deleted7120 avatar

Plus, Microsoft needs a win, especially after Redfall. They need this one to be hit outside the park.

stopthatgirl7,
!deleted7120 avatar

That’s upsetting. I was never going to play Starfield, but I want games coming out to be good. We don’t need another dumpster fire like the CP2077 launch was.
