He is not. But he is a regular, who posts hight quality content most of the time, and is well known for that.

So which side would we chose? A random guy trying to gatekeep for some personal reason a valid content, or someone who consistently post high quality content, participate in the community while, with some exception, consistently respecting the rules?

Such a difficult question…

I realized I probably badly explained my point here. I will not act differently for someone well known in the community or someone new. The rules are the rules.

The unwelcome behaviour here is the gatekeeping. Videos are welcome, as are links to article or plain text posts.

That kind of post belongs to !gaming. See rule 4.

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu (edited 3 miesiące temu)

That’s more a !gaming kind of post, indeed. Lengthy, so I’m not gonne invoke rule 4, but that’s a bit borderline 😅.

If you like posting picture of fishes, did you try Subnautica ?

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu

Little typo on the code of last image.

Other than that, great read, as always.

LW is hosted in Germany, and as it proxies youtube thumbnails, youtube serve him the german version 😅. It is a known issue.

Honestly I liked a lot Subnautica 1, and despite the leadership change, still look forward to Subnautica 2. Better juge on the product than on internet dramas.

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu

In which case we’ll juge in the final product if the choices the leadership, previous or current, were the right one or not.

All we have currently are some images, some first hand infos, and a lot of speculations.

Could you explain the link between both subject ?

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu

I understand what kind of analogy you want to bring, but that’d be both a false equivalence, as wall as an appeal to pity.

You are trying to portray a black and white picture about a situation we all know little about. It’s word for word, and in such case it be hard to give more credits to either party.

I heard that there is a lawsuit brewing, maybe this will give us more objective informations.

In the meantime, the only way to see if either the founders or Krafton vision would be the best would be to release the EA, even with the lack of content Krafton is complaining about. Like that we would be able to make our own conclusion.

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu

I would not ignore if Krafton do betray UW employees. But I also take into account that for now it is word for word, and depending on which side you believe, both sides can be sided with.

If the three ousted exec did abandon their responsibility as Krafton said, their dismissal is justified. If not and that’s a way to not pay the promissed bonus, then a boycot is justified.

There isn’t many way to know, other than releasing the EA now. Like that the customer can have and idea of the true state of the game, without having to base its opinion on a bandwagon.

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu

Krafton says that the game isn’t yet worthy of EA. Ousted led dev says that it is. Someone is probably lying here. Only way to put an end to that is to lanch the EA this year, for us to juge if it is enough content or not.

From what I’ve read, that bonus isn’t tied to a specific release, but to an earning target.

Not being able to get to that target is tied to the fact that Subnautica 2 EA should have been a huge cash influx, which now isn’t possible due to the delay, and the only remaining way would have been either a sudden renewed Subnautica 1 and BZ success or for the mobile version to be a incredible success, which I doubt.

Releasing the EA wouldn’t be an “I win button” from UW. It could go both way. Either the current state is enough for user to buy it, and not refund it, or it will be a resounding failure, with huge refund percentages. In the first case, this may allow UW to get to that target, but in the second case, it may in the worst case make the studio go under before Subnautica had any chance to be released completed

You may also like Coffee Talk (1 and 2). Good story, the characters are likable, and it works with controllers, so you can play it on the go with a Deck or anything similar.

For those who wonder, yes, this is OK according to the community rule 6.
Talking about piracy is OK. What is forbidden is directly linking to it. Mainly for legal reason, not because we condemn it.

Nonetheless, OP asked for permission beforehand, which is nice. Authorization was of course given.

I keep my boxes in two cases : the warranty is still valid, or the thing is fragile and has a form that make it hard to find a replacement for (usually large and fragile flat things, like screens).

All the other are waiting to be thrown away, in my garage.

I checked his modlog, and found no such thing, at least on LW. Care to give a link as proof ?

Dremor, 4 miesiące temu

That’s indeed possible, but hard to prove unless you give an archived proof (wayback machine, etc.). AI made creating fake screenshot trivial, so I can’t blame anyone for thinking you may have faked it.

Good read, as always. The link to lego island is broken, on my end at least (it redirects to LW).

For copyright reasons I’d rather it be the link to the decompiled/ported source code rather than directly to the game itself. I doubt they got the 3d models IP owner autorisation to use them, thus falling into the no linking to piracy rule.

Dremor, 4 miesiące temu

Honesty I’d agree that it should be allowed, but the EU has a much more strict rules on fair use than most countries has. And as LW is hosted in the EU, that’s the rule we have to follow.

But the jurisprudence made it clear that source code is considered as ok as soon as it does not contain copyrighted materials (original 3d models, music, etc). That why I’d prefer to link directly to the source code.

And if they have a direct link to the playable version of that game on said repository, that’s not our problem anymore 😅.

I missed Dead as Disco during Next Fest, but as a rhythm game and music aficionado, I’m definitively gonna enjoy this one. 😆

Looking forward to your next interview.

There is a little error on the first link of the Next Fest, btw.

Great read, as always. A little broken link on the previous posts section (forgotten “]”).

Nice to see MS decided to make their (remored) pricing quite aggressive. Especially since it is sold with the dock included.
The base Xbox Ally should be as powerfull as the Deck. It is basically the same chip with 5 more watts of TDP, which can easily be done on the OG deck with a little bios mod.
The biggest one will be a serious blow to the Deck as well as other handhelds. The specs are clearly superior on all aspects, while still being very competitive. Depending on the autonomy and how much bloat was removed, I may be really tempted, despite being a pro-Linux… And probably install SteamOS (or Bazzite) as soon as it works on it.
I hope this will prompt Valve to update the Deck to newer hardware, or at least allow to officially tune up the APU power envelope to 20-25W (vs 15W currently), especially when docked, so we can enjoy higher definition gaming without sacrificing too much graphical settings to the Frametime gods (E33 looks kinda bad on the Deck, especially when docked 😂).

OP asked before posting and got mod authorization.

OP is a good OP. 😁

It may need some formating though. Add two space at the end of a paragraph, then the line break (I know, markdown is weird sometimes)

Dremor, 4 miesiące temu

It sure does 😄

As a Switch 1 owner, I’m definitively gonna wait to finish my current Switch backlog, and also probably for the Oled refresh. But since I got my Deck, I barely touched my Switch, so it will probably take a long time 😆.

Dremor, 4 miesiące temu

Sure, but that’d be quite the costly upgrade just for better framerate. 😆

Not that I ever did the same with a GPU at the same price tag… (Who am kidding? 😂)

Dremor, 4 miesiące temu

I’m definitively gonna keep a look on that. Hope it will work with Heroic and the Steam Deck.

I knew from the beginning the art vibes where familiar. Then I saw " Spiritfarer", and I knew why 😂.
There is a few game that managed to make me tears, Spirifarer was one of them (along with Gris, Ori, and lately, E33). Yeah, I’m kinda a softy 😂.
That’s an instant buy for me.

Looks nice, let’s hope big N won’t be too much of an asshole with this one 😂.

Who am I kidding… 😅

I’ve spent so many hours building empires in that game. I even played to it on the Deck (docked) with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. :D

It ran great.
Obviously it is better to keep it to a medium to small sized galaxy for his tiny CPU to keep up during endgame, but I was very surprised how well it ran.

I should try one of my enormous galaxy endgame one day, to see how well it will manage 😆

Considering how much time and effort you put on your posts, I’m sure you’d make a good moderator. I’d sure need help in the future, as both moderator are temporary (unless they chose otherwhise), and as such I’d use all the help I can to moderate.

I’ll DM you to discuss about the details.

I think I will put like 10 5 everything, then link to a dedicated page on the git repo (I’ll try to make it a wiki so everyone can add its own)

Edit : Reduced to 5 to keep it concise as a start. I’ll put the others in a dedicated topic

Edit 2 : Fuck it, let’s put everything

Lemmy-UI, directly on the browser. Works on Voyager too.

But I believe that LW has a couple of patches over the official release, that may be why.

Dremor, 4 miesiące temu (edited 4 miesiące temu)

There are multiple event right now, showing a lot of new games. So it was kinda expected. I’m considering new rules about that, should be part of the new rules proposed in the community overhaul.

In the meantime, I’ll ask him to consolidate such event in a single megathread.

Edit: after a quick discussion with simple, he/she/they will consider a megathread for the next big event. The current posts will stay up.

1. Well, I don’t. It doesn’t void my freedom to express my opinion on the matter.
2. I also maintain server (my own, sometime other people server when asked to), and even worked with an open sourced MMO server (Ryzom). Those don’t need to be hard to maintain, except if the architect is a idiot that followed the tend of “microservices”, which does’t make much sense for an MMO.

If they aren’t good enough to make software that makes sense, we’ll find a way to make them work. Don’t underestimate a band of hyperfocussed nerd.
Some guy already programmed a whole unofficial MMO server from scratch, which ended up to be even better than the official one. Unfortunately is wasn’t ever released for obvious copyright infringement reasons, but still.

On that our opinion differs.

Games, like movie, are a way to make art. It allows ways of expression that other medias cannot.

Of course not all games are made with the artistic value in mind, like not all movies are, but those are nontheless pieces of our collective culture, be it something like a racing game, or a little platformer.
All thoses are the result of hundred, if not thousands of hours of work, from programmers, to musician, with all others support tasks in between.

For a movie, imagine if you had to constantly be connected to a server, and that suddenly, for nobother reason than saving a buck for the company owning the movie, no one could watch it anymore. Countless masterpieces would be lost to time, not because the original band was lost in a fire like many did through time, but because of someone greed and refusal to make them readable without that punny server.

That petition ask just that same treatment for video games, nothing more. We are not asking for remaster, nor a continued support on new consoles, just a way to preserve the shared memories we hold dear.
Memories of friends who played with us, friends that may not be of this world anymore. Memories of stories told and lived.
To not forget what was, what could have been, and what can be.
