Telorand,

You’re not, but there’s a preexisting patent, and these three are basically extensions of that patent.

Essentially, Palworld needed to know what supplementary patents Nintendo was going to file in the future in Japan so they didn’t run afoul of the patent from the past. You know, textbook legal psychic stuff, really. /s

I hope Nintendo hurts itself in its confusion as its lawyers flail before the Japanese courts.

Telorand,

Tbh, if this is how Japan does patent law, it’s a wonder they have as much technological progress as they do.

Telorand,

Tldr: it’s a crypto wallet stealer.

Always be wary of unknown code. Check comments on sites like Nexus. Run installers through virus checks.

Telorand,

Man if that’s the case, that really sucks.

Telorand,

Good. Long past time the AAA studios got what they deserve.

Are you a patient gamer? (kbin.melroy.org) angielski

There's no magazine on any instance that I see of such a community on the topic matter. To anyone not familiar, a patient gamer is someone who is immune to FOMO, doesn't get caught up or tied up with current modern gaming. Someone who doesn't care that they've beaten a game from 1996 and here it is 2024. Someone who doesn't care...

Telorand,

Well, at least not anytime in the near future.

I think you underestimate how patient some of us can be… 😉

Telorand,

It’s that pricing model which has consistently kept me away. Lots of people like it, and it’s supposed to be really fun, but it’s not the only fun factory builder out there.

I’d rather get a good deal, and I’ve never (re)played a solo game for anywhere close to the thousands of hours some people have played Factorio. I might be missing out, but I can buy an entire bundle of games for that price and still have money leftover.

Telorand,

And that’s what some people have said. I’ll play the demo tonight, but even for lots of fun, I can think of other ways to spend $35, as that’s a large sum for me.

But who knows? Maybe it will knock my socks off.

Telorand,

Yep, that’s a good way to view games. I do that as well.

Telorand,

I played MH World a bunch, but I couldn’t get into Rise, either. A bit too cartoonish, and not just graphically.

In any case, I have a backlog of hundreds of games from bundles and freebies (including the Mass Effect trilogy, which I’ve not yet played), so it’s not like I’ll be having less fun by skipping Factorio. We all have limited time, and we’ll all miss out on some gems.

And if the dev wants to gate the game by constantly raising the price, he’ll lose out on players like me. His choice, but he’s leaving money on the table, and the rest of the games are picking it up.

Telorand,

I’ve used RT in various games, and for some, it makes a positive difference in the experience (gameplay only, not fps) and for others, the difference is unnoticeable or even negative.

Nvidia is still the RT king, but it’s not like classic lighting techniques are bad, either. I’d give up my RTX 3060ti for a 6700XT in a heartbeat to have better Linux compatibility.

Telorand,

I think the spirit of what I was trying to get at comes down to the idea that RT is important for some and not for others. I’ve seen and played some games that look bad with raytracing, though I’d say on the whole it’s been positive.

Like other techniques, it comes down to intentional design choices. Where to place light sources, how strong they should be, what kind of surface radiance looks good aesthetically versus how well it functions to light the scene are all factors to consider.

I think until it becomes a requirement, there’s space for everyone’s tastes.

Telorand,
  • Freshly Frosted - Puzzle game. Seriously, I don’t remember the last time I felt so encouraged by the narrator. If you’re in a bad mental state, I do recommend this one.
  • Lost in Play - Two siblings go on an adventure through a fanciful wonderland of their imagination…or is it?
  • Spiritfarer - A chill management game where you’re Charon ferrying souls to the Everdoor. This one deals with death and saying goodbye to loved ones, but it does so in a very thoughtful and sensitive way. It definitely changed my paradigm.
  • A Hat in Time - Cute 3D action platformer. Silly fun.
  • Little Inferno - Despite its simplicity and obvious satire of consumerism/Capitalism, this has a very cozy feel and fun characters.
  • Tinykin - Adorable collect-a-thon platform puzzler with no enemies, only obstacles.
  • Gorogoa - Puzzle game with an interesting story that unfolds with each puzzle.
  • Doronko Wanko - You’re a cute doggo making a house as messy as possible.
  • Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People - Fun, silly point and click. I also recommend the show.
Telorand,

Fuck yeah! Get em!

Telorand,

We’re not going to do a bump every year. There’s no reason to do that. And, honestly, from our perspective, that’s kind of not really fair to your customers to come out with something so soon that’s only incrementally better. So we really do want to wait for a generational leap in compute without sacrificing battery life before we ship the real second generation of Steam Deck. But it is something that we’re excited about and we’re working on.

It’s refreshing to see someone that understands their customers. I often experience buyer’s remorse with even products I like and have thoroughly researched and use often. Never once have I felt like I wasted money on the SD, and it just feels like it constantly gets better.

Telorand,

Damn, I would actually buy that one. Shame they’re currently taking a break on Etsy.

Telorand,

Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Never played ME, before, but I hear it’s pretty good.

Telorand,

That’s what I keep hearing! Looking forward to a good space opera

Telorand,

Yes, but Coffee Stain is Swedish, and they’re the publisher. Maybe they can get a sign that’s half the dimensions of the others…?

Telorand,

Nintendo will be sending a cease and desist letter to each of us for looking at fanart of their characters.

Telorand, (edited )

As far as I can tell, it’s what you suggested. I don’t really care about a fork because of a rogue community manager. Their Foundation apologized, and I suspect they’ll try to do better.

A single instance does not a pattern make.

ETA: and by “rogue,” I mean someone who acts on their own apart from discussing with the team, but still represents them as if they did. I think she was justified to block some of those trolls, but she was a bit overzealous, blocking LGBTQ folks in the process.

Either way, trans rights are human rights. Fuck this fork.

Telorand,

No, um you see…uh…shit…

Telorand,

Inb4 it’s the same logo but red, and with the same description but with the added line, “Now anti-woke.”

At least it will be easy to tell which devs support human rights and which ones are pieces of shit.

Telorand,

I have never seen the movie, but I absolutely would play this game.

Telorand,

This is my plan. If I ever see a showing locally, I’ma try to make sure it’s the “immersive experience” everyone promises

Telorand,

Quick! It’s spreading! We need the Rocky Horror Containment Protocol!

Telorand,

I can’t hear about this game and not remember that some boomer actor thinks Belatro is going to destroy humanity, because it’s addictive.

Telorand,

Looks interesting. I’m into PvE games, especially sci-fi ones, and I appreciate the fact that the dev is actively avoiding microtx. The aesthetic kind of reminds me of Death Stranding.

I probably won’t buy it very early on, but I would consider it if it was closer to release.

Telorand,

I got a 1st Gen 3DS second hand some time ago. What I like:

  • Pokemon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing.
  • The 3D effect and dual cameras are neat, though a little gimmicky.

What I don’t like:

  • The heavy reliance upon internet connectivity. I can’t change the details of the account on it without losing access to the downloaded games. I can’t even change it anyway, because the online store is closed.
  • The control stick sucks. It’s good for a very flat control stick, but it doesn’t feel nice to use.
  • Proprietary power connector.
  • The viewing angle on the screen is pretty shallow.

I have a Steam Deck, and it’s just better in all respects. I get that it’s comparing a very new device against an old device, but I don’t really see a reason to pull out the 3DS when I could have a better experience on the SD.

Telorand,

And you’re entitled to your opinion. I also have small hands, and I don’t find its size or weight to be a problem for me.

Telorand,

Hey, that’s good to know!

Telorand,

That’s cool. I agree that it’s not as portable as some other options, but it wouldn’t be able to do what it does if it was.

That’s why there’s still good options out there for everyone! It’s a great time for gaming.

Telorand,

If it happens, do post to !steamdeck. I know lots of people would be interested.

Telorand,
  • Petey Piranha
  • Mewtwo

No idea.

Telorand,

Not a GBA game but a GB game: Solar Striker

Still have never beat it to this day.

Telorand,

No idea! It certainly had that screen, but I can’t recall if it was necessary. I’ll have to get my GBC out and see. It’s pretty smeary on my GBA.

Telorand,

I never could understand the appeal of that game.

Telorand,

Way more fun, too.

Telorand,

Second Ikaruga. A unique way to play a shmup.

I would also give Jamestown+ a try.

Telorand,

Apparently it can manage 20 fps on one “TPU” but to get there it was trained on shitload of footage of Doom. So just play Doom?!

Shhhh! Are you nuts? People are going to start realizing this is another tech bubble, like Blockchain…

/s

Telorand,

Get 'em!

Just finished Alan Wake 2 angielski

I just finished Alan Wake 2 and the 3 episodes of the DLCs. Alan Wake 2 is a literal masterpiece in my opinion, the gameplay was similar to its first game but refined, the story dark, mood, mysterious and weird. I also loved the references to the other games. Like Ahti. The ending of Alan Wake 2 made me wonder and sad (I won’t...

Telorand,

Does it play like the first one? If so, I’ll just go read a plot synopsis. The gameplay was so dull and frustrating for me in the first one, but the story was good.

Telorand,

Thanks! I’m no stranger to old games, so I don’t hold the age against the first one. I just know I wouldn’t have fun if the actual gameplay (not the story elements) was largely the same.

I might watch someone play the first hour only, to see if it fits my playstyle.

Telorand,

Good to know! Thanks

Telorand,

Oh, good. Might be worth a look, then

Telorand,

Tbh, as importent as they were to the nacent development of the games industry, based on past and recent behavior towards fan games, I kind of hope they eat their hats on this.

Telorand,

Favorites:

  • Steam Deck. I haven’t been this excited for a console since the original Xbox. I play a lot of games that I would otherwise avoid on my gaming rig, and it’s excellent for traveling.
  • Steam Controller. This one was worth the effort to get used to, and it introduced me to gyro controls and paddle buttons. Also, it was integral to the Steam Deck’s control scheme design.

Least favorites:

  • Wii. There were a few good games, but the controllers sucked ass. GameCube was better.
  • Game Gear. Screen was a smudge-fest. Any kind of motion was super hard to see.
  • Gen 1 Xbox controller. That thing was massive and awkward.

Apparently now has a section for to show whether or not they are using and in what capacity. This is taken from the section of Sins of a Solar Empire II

Interesting stuff.

Will this affect your choices for what you buy?

Telorand,

Certainly not, but it’s usually not hard to identify either.
