SpaceNoodle, w Steam turns 20 today: "We've had to try a lot of different things over the years"

Only 20? What was that platform I had to install in the late '90s?

GenBlob, w What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?

The Ooze. My memory on this is fuzzy but on genetics lab part 2, there is a room you can enter that has a checkpoint. If you enter the room then you’re locked inside and if you collect the checkpoint and die, you will respawn back into the room and your only option is to lose all your lives or reset the game. I remember getting really pissed off finding this when I was a kid because I spent days trying to beat the game and I had a really good run up until that moment.

Play Walking Simulator or actually go outside instead

hedgehog, w Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 is effectively the PC version at ultra settings

This article repeatedly says that the game is running in 1440p, but I thought that the PS5 didn’t support 1440p. TIL they added it.

hedgehog, w Judge issues legal permaban, $500K judgment against serial Destiny 2 cheater

For something like cheating and streaming your exploits on Twitch, it makes sense for a suit like this. Bungie’s reputation would suffer even more due to his audience being much more likely to seek out cheating tools, to associate the game with cheating, and to spread both those pieces of information themselves.

In a case where the damages are real and not contrived, copyright feels a bit more legit.

$500k feels extreme, though, even in this case. Is this based off real sales, stock prices, or back of the napkin math? Maybe mark it down to his scale of income. So they have $100 million in annual ebitda (and excluding any funny business like stock buybacks) and he makes $50k before taxes but after living expenses. That $500k is worth 1/600th of their annual income and so should be 1/600th of his: $250. Multiply that by as much as 10 due to the severity of his actions (or divide by as much as 10) and you’ve got $2500 in damages. Much more reasonable.

Bit rough going the opposite way, but fair’s fair.

RIP another series

Catalog0904, w What are some good funny games/mods out there?

Sludge Life 1 and 2 would be good ones to check out. There is even a free teaser on Steam

someguy3, w Japan Youth Gamers Report 2023: Most Youth Gamers Play on Console (72%) Followed by Mobile (64%) and PC (15%)

Is mobile phones or gameboy/switch?

Computerchairgeneral, w [Rumor] Embracer reportedly considering selling Borderlands developer Gearbox

Honestly, I'd completely forgotten that Embracer had bought out Gearbox. Curious to see who ends up acquiring them, if anyone actually does. Also have to wonder just how many studios Embracer is going to end up selling off or shutting down by the end of this.

Having no idea what the ventilation is in other areas, I don’t know how it compares.

Also all those markets probably overlap a fair bit.

I used to think that the share was roughly ½ console and ½ PC, but not only does it probably vary wildly from place to place, I have nothing to base that feeling on anyway. It’s just that I never played on a console (until the deck, which only semi-counts) and never met anybody who did until quite late (which admittedly doesn’t really mean anything). Also I never really thought of phones as a gaming medium even though they clearly are.

And finally, now that a lot of titles are released on multiple platforms, does it matter all that much?

FARTYSHARTBLAST, w Steam players hate NBA 2K24 almost as much as they hate Overwatch 2

Oof, that's a pretty low bar.

I’m primarily a console peasant, but my Steam account goes back to 2007. I don’t remember the specifics, but I know I opened it after getting a physical copy of The Ship from Target. Never played it much, though.

Apparently you can install linux on these things but I rather just support valve and have a polished linux experience along with giving money to a company that is improving linux gaming.
