Klystron, w Wish Xbox had more Japanese exclusives like Lost Odyssey? Phil Spencer says you can "count on" new games

I believe this statement.

Fuck them kids. This business model is abusive no matter who it’s targeting.

My recommendations are Dodonpachi Resurrection, Mushihimesama, and Deathsmiles. They’re all on sale, they’re all made by CAVE. One more CAVE game, Akai Katana, is also listed but it’s not on sale. They are all extremely difficult if you have never played the style of game before (Japanese arcade bullet hell / scrolling shooter). Heavy emphasis on learning bullet patterns and doing precise dodges. It feels so good when you manage to dodge a pattern, or time a screen cancel/hyper just right.

If you only try one, Mushihimesama is 6 dollars right now, has an awesome soundtrack and a cool fantasy forest and insect theme. It’s relatively beginner friendly but you will definitely notice a sharp difficulty spike going from stage 3-4-5. I got to play it on an actual cabinet at PAX west, definitely my highlight of that weekend.

So a game with a harmless in-game poker minigame with worthless chips are strictly adult only, but not games with real money loot boxes specifically designed to addict you and take your money?

CouldntCareBear,

I’m not sure why they they threw that in… that’s not really a problem as far as I’m aware. Maybe they consider it a gateway to gambling?

I’m sure it’ll be patched soon

Thats fucking amazing and completely unity’s fault. What engine in their right mind saves user preferences in the registry?

icedterminal,

You’d be surprised to learn then that a lot of software does this shit.

Blamemeta,

Well thats stupid

icedterminal,

It can be very stupid. Depends on the software though as the registry is meant for saving user and system settings to a degree. Like Windows File Explorer makes perfect sense. As does settings for audio.

It’s generally advised to not bloat the registry wherever possible. WinSCP is a great piece of software. Unfortunately it defaults to saving to the user registry. You can change it to save to an ini file instead. By using the registry to save settings it can be jarring for the user when they’re trying to troubleshoot something. Only to find out after uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn’t start over fresh. Or if they’re trying to backup settings and data to restore with later. The registry isn’t typically included for good reason.

DarkMetatron,

Saving user preferences in the local user part of the registry is kind of what the registry is meant to be for (besides others).

merthyr1831,

It might be bad practice to dump 1.3GB of variable user data into the registry, though. Especially when there’s SQL servers and Nuget packages that can deal with that kind of data in a platform-agnostic way.

DarkMetatron,

That for sure, those numbers are way beyond intended usage.

And there is a difference between saving user preferences/settings and user game data. The last should never be saved in the registry.

Azzu,

It doesn’t look like what’s filling the registry here is user preferences.

Did I read that correctly?? 1.6 GB of registry files??

Simulated gambling is 18+ but real gambling is M? They got this backwards imo.

thefuck, btw how proton handle the registry on steam deck/desktop linux?, that can happen there?

Wine registry, and yes, but only within your Wine sandbox

Needs more GOG

790,

I absolutely love their client and prefer GOG over Steam. I remember how their client GOG Galaxy is highly praised in the developer community, because it is so well designed and runs so performant. It also allows you to play any previous versions of games you own.

Evil_Shrubbery,

Also DRM free.

At some point we could also perhaps resell the games, maybe (not sure where the proof per license would be tho).

What has GOG done for Linux? I care about OSS and companies supporting my preferred OSS operating system. To that end, Valve continues to be a steward without peer.

pensa, w KSP2 is Spamming the Windows Registry Over Weeks/Months Until the Game Will Stop Working Permanently

I remember Scott Manley asked someone important on the dev team of ksp2 how they approached the 2 body problem. They guy gave a vague answer that they had solved it. If that were true they would have a Nobel Prize but they don't. So then and there I decided that KSP2 will not get my money. Which sucks because I have put a little over 2000 hours into KSP1.

AdrianTheFrog,
@AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world avatar

“Solved it” for a game just means “approximated it well enough that the average user won’t notice”.

pensa, (edited )

I don't think that was the way he portrayed it. He made it seem like they really solved the 2 body problem. Scott Manley even made a comment about how grand that was. I really wish I could find the video to better show what I mean.

edit: here is one of him recalling it. https://youtu.be/vu22bFtZgKg?feature=shared&t=2294

BradleyUffner,

2 body orbits shouldn’t be a problem. They are easily solvable. 3 body systems are the ones that are problematic.

pensa,

Yeah, he says n-body problem in the video I linked above. I have no idea why I am saying 2 body problem.

KSPAtlas,
@KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz avatar

Funnily enough, there is an n-body mod for ksp1, which makes interplanet interactions more realistic (in fact, the mod has to slightly change the default system to stop the moons of Jool from slingshotting each other out) and allows advanced maneuvers like ballistic capture and lagrange points

Chailles,
@Chailles@lemmy.world avatar

And as someone who couldn’t even land on the Mun without crashing, I downloaded that mod and unsurprisingly found things even harder since it disables the standard maneuvers.

KSPAtlas,
@KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz avatar

It is not a beginner’s mod, the fact that its most often used with packs like RP-1 should say how hard it is

Problematic in a computer model or…? How does real space travel account for the gravitational pull of 3+ celestial bodies?

pensa,

Roughly, that's why long distance missions need mid course correction burns.

The funny thing is that Valve kickstarted the digital sales with Half Life 2 back in 2004. Steam was an utter piece of shit for, what, some 6 years? It took them a lot of time to make it bearable, then good.

That the EGS launcher is a fucking Unreal app, needlessly bloated as fuck and with barely working UI shows their complete disregard for what is supposed to be their “money givers” (us, customers) and, like every other stupid company with their own launcher which manages to be worse than their fucking website, shows they refuse to learn the obvious.

I hope GOG never goes the enshitification path.

Honytawk,

I fucking hated Valve for making me buy a physical CD of Portal, only to get a CD with the Steam Installer and a code to download the game on their store.

Ironfacebuster,

Same thing happened to me but with portal 2. I had DSL at the time and it barely hit 10 Mbps on a good day which was great because I thought the disk had the game on it. Despite all of the pain I still love steam to this day lol (and I’ve gotten better Internet)

reagansrottencorpse,

I remember when steam first came out and I was like…I need this extra program to play counter strike now ?!
