giant_smeeg, (edited ) w where do yall go for your gaming coverage/pods?

I’m in the UK, so some of this might be UK centric:

Podcasts

  • Digital Foundry Weekly, Weekly podcast discussing gaming news/hardware etc (If you know DF you know what this is)
  • The Crate and Crowbar, PCGamerUK used to have a podcast and these guys move to this. Few friends talking about games and it’s decent (not overly technical or in depth, more just mates chatting).
  • IGN UK Podcast, absolutely love the personalities on this, it seems more like some mates chatting with a bit of structure (less like the IGN ethos of pushing as much out as possible).
  • VGC, Again a few mates chatting about games, good production values and I value their opinions.

RSS feeds

  • Eurogamer.net features, similar to DF, but they cover decent articles about games.
  • Uppercut - Features, doesn’t post often but has well thought out articles about games and they’re a joy to read.
  • Polygon - Feature, interesting articles about films/games. I don’t read them all just ones interesting or relevant to me.
  • Rock Paper Shotgun features, PC Gaming articles that explores interesting questions about newer/popular games.
  • IGN Feed, All the feeds above are features where it’s not just regurgitated news that spams your feed, they’re well thought out. Well IGN isn’t features, it’s just gaming news. I hardly read the artcles, just scroll the titles.
Conningemu,

A bit related but do you like using RSS? I've never used it before because it never seemed like it was worth setting up. Do you recommend it/ is it worth it?

giant_smeeg,

Yes I love it.

Pick all your favourite news/content/podcasts/youtube and set them up in an RSS app.

Then it’s all in one place, no visiting multiple apps/websites. It’s just there ready to go. You can then easily keep track of what you’ve read, haven’t read and saved.

peasinspace,

first off, beautiful formatting! Jeff Grubb of current Giant Bomb has Andy Robinson from VGC on his morning show pretty frequently, I enjoy him. I do catch DF content and pods time to time as well.

I’ve never set up an RSS feed but might look into it, something to scroll on the can/ when i have a few mins of downtime would be nice. google’s served articles arent cutting it. Left the thing that previously filled this gap behind a few months ago.

giant_smeeg,

Definitely setup RSS. Can just keep everything in one place. Lemmy, YouTube and Mastodon also support RSS feeds

Nextlander - giant bomb made better imo.

There’s never been a better podcast! (I fell off them at first, but I think that was because the world sucked quite a bit right around when they started, and it leaked into their podcast. They’re pretty great now.)

I stuck with Giant Bomb right up until they canned Jeff Gerstmann. Quickly after that, Giant Bomb just felt icky. That said, I couldn’t hang with Jeff’s solo gig – while he’s still a threat, he sorely needs a co-host(s).

peasinspace, (edited )

I got into GB a bit after when Gertsmann got canned because i enjoyed Grubb and his takes/personality so much. I realize when an outfit has been going for a while like they have a regime change/ almost total personnel change would feel weird af

peasinspace,

now do u say this about current GB or their more well known previous iterations? ive only been into them since their main hosts/people being Jan, Grubb, Bakalar and Ryckert. Tam and Lucy from gamespot are frequent collaborators along with Mike Minotti.

if you’re not familiar with their current crew i suggest giving em another look, they crack me up and bring a ton of personality to the table.

From what I know, nextlander is former GB people. I’ll definitely check it out, i have lots of drive/work/gaming time to consume pods

When I bailed right after JeffG left, there were personalities I liked, and some I did not.

Also, since it was a complete dice roll who’d actually be on a given podcast: some were great; some not so much.

And more often than not, their podcasts were populated by randos not even on the crew.

Next time use the cross post feature please.

soyagi,

I did use the cross-post feature. Many apps do not recognise or acknowledge cross-posting yet which might explain why this article may have appeared multiple times for you.

wccrawford,

It does say it was cross-posted (to 3 places) at the top on the web.

It’s two years late. Nobody will touch it at this point.

Ah exactly the type of game we’re all waiting for, now my data can partially live on another server somewhere else instead of just the dev’s servers, revolutionairy /s

@mihnt@kbin.social avatar

Best be careful. We all know what happened last time someone restored Rockstar's hidden content.

RegularGoose,

I don’t, but I’m assuming they got sued into life-long poverty?

PatFussy, w Larian working on mid-game Baldur’s Gate 3 character customisation

Ive had more issues on this game than not having the right haircut… ive had scenes turn black mid dialogue, clipping through walls, weird camera angles that force my character to T-pose… the list goes on. The game is great as long as it doesnt get bugged out

Duke_Nukem_1990,

All of those sound like minor bugs at worst tbh

Artaca,

They sound minor, they look hilarious, but then your smile fades as whatever is causing the bug blocks input to try and get past it, forcing a reload. I’m LOVING this game, but out of the 20 or so hours I’ve been able to sink into it since launch, a solid 2-3 of those hours have been retracing steps or generally trying to circumvent big bugs.

(Full disclosure: I am playing exclusively on the Steam Deck which I am 99.9% certain is the reason for all of the bugs I face)

Duke_Nukem_1990,

Interesting! I haven’t encountered any such bugs on Arch Linux (I use arch btw) so maybe there is some specific deck trickery going on.

themusicman,

Not sure if the steam deck gives you this option, but I’ve found the directx version to be much more stable than Vulcan when using proton

Andy293,

That’s so strange, I am 40 hrs in and can’t remember any bugs.

The only annoying thing is the camera that sometimes doesn’t show the layer I want so see and it’s sometimes hard to navigate, but I wouldn’t count that as a bug. Also characters in my party walking over hazardous areas when following the main char is so fucking annoying. I’m like 99% sure they didn’t do that in divinity original sin 2

PatFussy,

Yeah im also about 40 hours in and ive had at least 4 or 5 force quits where ive lost about an hour of time. Ive had bugs right from the beginning. In the cutscene where you leave the ship, ive had 2 friends say their screen either just flickered or their screen froze on screen for minutes. It was funny because they were playing naked and the screen froze on their butt for a solid 2 minutes. This is only within the first 1 hour. Ive had maybe 20 or 30 occurances where the screen freezes and I have to either wait for the game to unfreeze or it goes to that force quit i mentioned earlier.

I know the teams are different but i just thought its weird that its not talked about. It cant be just my group of friends that has these issues.

RegularGoose, (edited )

Ive had more issues on this game than not having the right haircut…

Sure, but it’s not like the team responsible for fixing those bugs is likely to be the same team working on character creation. Any time any studio announces something like this, people suddenly act like division of labor isn’t a thing. If you’re running a store and new inventory needs to get unloaded off the truck, you wouldn’t shut down the checkouts and send your cashiers who don’t drive forklifts to go do it.

Am I reading this weird or is that a damn NFT game?

Web3 usually means NFTs. So yeah, you’re reading it right.

adriaan, (edited ) w How Unity and Early Access helped make Dave the Diver one of 2023's biggest indie hits

It’s not really an indie game is it? large team, big money, subsidiary of a big publisher

forgotaboutlaye,

Yeah I kinda thought Battlebit Remastered would be the Unity, Early Access, Indie hit of 2023.

lemmyseikai, w Xbox introduces new strike system to curtail bad behavior

I read this as “Xbox learns why teachers send e-mails home.”

paddirn, w Larian working on mid-game Baldur’s Gate 3 character customisation

I thought my tiefling druid with green cornrows looked ok in the character gen screen, but she admittedly looks kind of stupid now, though it doesn’t help that she has this emotionless expression on her face. I think I’ll just make her wear the mask of the shapeshifter from now on.

fritata_fritato, w Quake II (Remaster) Review Thread | (90/100 OpenCritic)

Anyone having controller issues on Xbox one? As soon as I touch the left stick it gets stuck on auto down. Weird bug.
