ByteOnBikes,

I laughed way too hard at this

ByteOnBikes,

We were once Pokemon?

We… Could have been the ones in pokeballs?

We could have… Mated with them?

ByteOnBikes,

I wish the tagging system was expanded to include more details.

While I think it’s helpful to know if a game is “souls like”, i also want to know if the game has a ending, or will be in continual development, or if it’s good as a pick up and put down game…

ByteOnBikes, (edited )

There was a highly upvoted post on the cozygames subreddit which I’m paraphrasing from memory.

Every time someone shares something in the Stardew Valley genre, there’s like a militant group of commenters who are outright hostile to that new game. And yes, I’m seeing that sprinkled in the comments on this post.

Like, imagine any other genre having to deal with people like that? “Oh that looks like it’s ripping off Doom how unoriginal looks boring just play Doom”.

ByteOnBikes,

I didn’t really get the point of Goat Simulator. But the other games easily hooked me for 50 to 100+ hours. And they are all excellent coop games.

ByteOnBikes,

Did it falter?

While I disagree with how long they’re been in early access especially when other games are in early access and doing it better… The updates were still pretty impressive. The new biomes were pretty interesting.

ByteOnBikes,

I remember listening to a NPR Planet Money podcast that said Iceland has the most published authors per capita.

Also cold.

ByteOnBikes,

That’s incredible that they evolved.

A lot of American cities that were becoming software dev hubs in the 90s ended up crashing or worse, fintech.

ByteOnBikes,

Meh. I’ve played a few of these Korean MMOs when theyre brought over the States. I don’t mind them.

If I was a kid with unlimited time and no pocket money, they’d be amazing. Turn off world chat, ignore the micro transactions store, and it’s easily solid 10-15 hours of quality gaming. Some even have really high quality cinematics. Once Human is really polished and fun.

After 15 hours (and like every single MMO since forever), it becomes a slog. By that point, I usually jump back into a single player game.

PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off (www.ign.com) angielski

Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…...

ByteOnBikes,

PCMasterRace. Each year, your consoles get shittier.

ByteOnBikes,

Jurassic park? Lame.

Jaws? Unmoving.

Saving Private Ryan? Save me from this bore.

Schindler’s List? Yak yak yak about the Holocaust.

But I will not take slander from the epic masterpiece that is the Animaniacs.

ByteOnBikes,

As a longtime PC gamer, Games like Dark Souls was impossible for me to play with a keyboard. But I kept watching my friends play it and really liked it a lot. Got one of those discount Xbox controller knockoffs and got pretty good with the game using a controller.

When the Steamdeck came around, I felt right at home with a controller.

It’s shifted dramatically where 90% of games, I’m playing controller. But still can’t play FPSes with one. (Even though I got pretty good with Halo back in the day)

ByteOnBikes,

Fighting games with a keyboard? Scary stuff.

ByteOnBikes,

My wife does this because shes purely a M+K player and one game, she was sucking st. So she plugged in one of my controllers and moved with the controller, but looked with the mouse.

ByteOnBikes,

On my personal AWS account, Im paying them 0.17 cents a month.

I wonder if they pay a fee.

ByteOnBikes,

Out of curiosity, have you had some big pay days? Or just enough to treat yourself?

ByteOnBikes,

Whenever I see social media say something dropped/jumped, I do the same thing as you - I visit the portfolio and take a birds eye view.

I still think about the one time redditors celebrated a company’s stock dropping by 90% over the last day.

But what the picture left out was how the company was climbing by 1000% in a week before dropping.

ByteOnBikes,

As a shitty artist who dabbles in game dev, AI has helped dramatically with generating art assets that look professional

ByteOnBikes,

That’s impressive!

I struggled with making my idle games interesting.

The Plucky Squire Should Have More Faith In Its Players (kotaku.com)

You see, The Plucky Squire falls prey to one of modern gaming’s most well-intentioned, but still utterly annoying, sins and overtly tutorializes everything. When it deigns to allow the player to pop out of their storybook for a 3D platforming level, the camera pans across the entirety of the stage outlining the intended path...

ByteOnBikes, (edited )

I’m currently playing UFO 50, which is a game by Derek Yu and friends. The games are “fake” 1980s NES games. You pick a random game out of the list of 50 and there’s little to no instructions on how to play any of the games.

You just press start and see where it takes you, just like classic games.

There’s a lot of joy in discovery.

ByteOnBikes, (edited )

I don’t think their implementation is the way to go. It reeks of bad UI, like Clippy in Microsoft Word.

Mario games are so accessible without the heavy handed videos/stops, because their designers think about how to best teach the player through play.

It’s like teaching by giving people a hour long lecture vs hands-on experience - there’s usecases for both, but in a interactive medium like gaming, one is superior than the other.

ByteOnBikes,

It just came out (on Switch no less) and it’s visually interesting. I didn’t buy it yet. I’ve bookmarked it to see if a future update removes all this.

ByteOnBikes,

Disagreements over the direction of the Interactive division, chaotic departures, communication breakdowns, and a perceived lack of leadership transparency at Annapurna Interactive led to a staff walk-out that has left 25 individuals jobless, Annapurna leaders scrambling, and numerous developers concerned about their contracts with the publisher.

It has to hit a serious breaking point for an entire department to do this.

I’ve been in jobs where the whole dept disconnects and just keeps accepting a paycheck while waiting out the storm. So it must have been really really bad.

ByteOnBikes,

I agree. If you buy a game brand new, you are telling the publisher that you want this game and support whatever they’re doing with it. All those FIFA/CoD players who buy on day 1 no matter how much garbage micro transactions added? They’ve accepted it with their wallets.

Buying on sale, it says you’re budget friendly while still kinda on board or willing to look away. I say a lot of shit about Ubisoft. But I absolutely buy their games at like $10, DRM toxic sexual harassment company BS and all.

Pirating, it means you don’t give AF. Probably the best solution of you wanna give a company the finger. But also willing to take some danger with you.

ByteOnBikes,

Average IGN post.

Beyond Shadowgate, the sequel to the console version of Shadowgate, launches on Sept 19th! (www.zojoi.com) angielski

The original design of the never-before seen point and click adventure is being brought to life after 30+ years in the vault – Beyond Shadowgate! The game is being created by the designers of the original 8-bit hit Shadowgate and a leading 8-bit adventure studio! With a story that is over four times larger than Shadowgate,...

ByteOnBikes,

Tbh I’ll be surprised it this gets any upvotes.

But I grew up with this series on the ol’ 8-bit Nintendo. And if you search for it online, there’s NO news story about this. I found it because I have a calendar reminder to visit their Kickstarter every few weeks.

The game looks great!

Hopefully this gets them some Lemmy attention and gets them some marketing.

ByteOnBikes,

I recently played the 2014 version and thought it was fantastic! Apparently it was released with bugs during launch, which gave it a lot of bad reviews.

At the end of the game, it prompted the Kickstarter, which how I learned about it!

ByteOnBikes,

I never played that one! Would you recommend it?

ByteOnBikes,

The Mac was the original version.

This release is following the NES UI and graphics!

ByteOnBikes,

My wife, kids and I play video games together by sharing the controller.

We were playing classic SNES games together. Like playing Super Mario World or Super Metroid. My youngest isn’t really good at bosses so he hands it off to his older siblings. Where my wife likes to draw various scenes from the game so we can color them later.

It started during the pandemic but we do it once a month now and it’s been a great family bonding experience.

ByteOnBikes,

You don’t watch a military movie and trash talk movie goers, threaten to bang their mom and then do a teabag motion when someone dies?

ByteOnBikes,

I am bottom Shrek.

ByteOnBikes,

Outside of sports games & racing games, and Death Stranding & Monster energy drinks, what other games have ads?

Not being argumentative. I’m a PC gamer and I’m actually curious if there’s like Pizza Hut ads while playing God Of War on a console or something!

ByteOnBikes,

The movie Everything Everywhere All at Once really brought a tear to my eye. It ignored a lot of “safe” conventions and just went all in on making a really good film.

ByteOnBikes,

Diablo Immortal made a depressing amount of money.

Us sweats mean nothing when there’s a billion dollars on the table for them.

And this isn’t even a edgecase. Even Bethesda/Nintendo saw their mobile games print money more than their regular games. Fortunately they have souls and think about their core audience.

Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? angielski

With the release of “The Final Shape,” the main storyline has concluded, and it seems like the developers are now just churning out random content and seasonal passes without a clear direction for the game’s future. I’m genuinely curious about what motivates players to stick around. Are there aspects of the game that...

ByteOnBikes,

The gunplay is SO good. There’s just something about the way it feels that makes it so distinct from any other shooter.

I haven’t touched Destiny in two years. And every shooter I played (first person and the gears of war third person), nothing has yet scratched my Destiny 2 itch.

ByteOnBikes,

When I was looking, 8bitdo seemed like a major recommendation online in all the forums. You’re like the first person that recommended it in real time.

ByteOnBikes,

They made me sad with Diablo 3. But they lost me at StarCraft 2.

D3 got better after years of updates. StarCraft 2’s story was hot garbage and they turned a single full game into three smaller games.

Seeing Blizzard fuck over Overwatch fans was not a surprise to me.

ByteOnBikes,

Link doesn’t seem to work for me because the parentheses breaks the link.

Here’s the steam link for anyone else

ByteOnBikes,

Sold.
