c4, w Bungie Pulling Back on Destiny 2 Reddit Responses Until 'Everyone Can Feel Safe Again'
@c4@kbin.social avatar

It’s sick that people are threatening developers over a game. I’m glad they got the guy mentioned in this article, but for the devs who make the game and receive threats… I hope they get some justice.

Props on upper management for caring. I applaud them. I also...don't entirely miss the users we left behind.

Hopefully, this communication will help fans understand the gravity of the situation and will improve things going forward.

It will not.

These companies planning to become unnecessary middlemen between you and ChatGPT seem to be kind of short sighted. If you’re not providing your own (often stupid) insight then what do you really provide beyond writing prompts and saving the result on your site.

Zima, w Peter Molyneux teases new project with idea that's "never been seen in a game" before

He has made great games, but as others have said he is a proffesional bullshitter.

NotTheOnlyGamer, w Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

I have no problem with a blockchain used in non-monetary context. Consider, for example, a competitive RTS/TBS which recorded RNG events or keystrokes to the blockchain, which helps show if there was lag, and helps to verify that the RNG is fair, and that both players aren't cheating. Or a game with a "Speedrun" mode, recording input as blocks, and making sure it's all publicly verifiable. Think of a Doom demo file, but encompassing all attempts from all connected players; new routes can be discovered quicker and cheaters can be outed near-instantly.

Blockchain as a concept is of great value to anything where public auditing is wanted. We've associated it to scams and money, and that bugs me. Including more aggressive monetization, speculation, and a profit motive makes a game less fun. Including a publicly auditable log of past events in a game built for multiplayer feels like it would be a value-add.

TheChurn,

That doesn't need to be a distributed ledger, that can just be a database. The only use cases for DLT/Blockchains is where it is undesirable to have a central authority.

Games will always have a central authority - the devs - so there's just no point. Nothing is gained by decentralizing trust, and quite a lot - especially speed and simplicity - must be sacrificed.

Gorejelly, w Xbox Game Pass: renowned studio confirms 6 surprise games
@Gorejelly@kbin.social avatar

It might just be me, but I’d really like it if the posts were not just links but also included even the slightest bit of effort to them.

In case anyone else looks here, the company in question is Annapurna, and the six games are Cocoon, Flock, Bounty Star, Thirsty Suitors, To A T, and Ghost Bike.

The link has videos for all six games, as well as release dates and the other systems those games will be released on.

Some of the best devs out there and a win-win business model. The new content pays for itself since it just keeps bringing people in, and they feel that's plenty of income to not feel like moving to dlc.

Good thing I spent five years in college sharpening my writing skills, only to be obsoleted by an uppity toaster. That'll make paying my student loans so much easier.

Whould you thank any one for anything, if earned it all yourself? They literally pulled them selves up by the bootstraps !

Chozo, w Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content

The fact that I can open up ChatGPT right now and say "Write a Kotaku article about why Tetris is racist" and get a 100% believable result out of it should be a sign that they've been replaceable for a while now.

GataZapata, w Publishers need to stop announcing games that are still years away from launch, gamers agree

'Gamers agree' that would be a historical first lol

admiralteal,

One day news media will stop reporting "Large demographic group enraged!" by citing 2 posts on a random social media platform.

But only because no news media is left.

Phrodo_00, w Which Bluetooth game controller is great for all devices?

My experience with 8bitdo controllers has always been great and they support a lot of devices

I haven't tried their latest stuff though, only up to like the pro controller

tal,
@tal@kbin.social avatar

I have a bunch of controllers that I got to use on a Linux system, and finally settled on the 8bitdo Ultimate for its Hall Effect analog sticks after nearly every other controller I had (a bunch of XBox or XBox clones) exhibited some degree of analog drift. Note that only their Bluetooth model has the Hall Effect sticks -- there are multiple Ultimate controllers.

I don't remember potentiometer-based analog sticks being this problematic twenty years back, so I'm not sure if the controller hardware is just running with a more-aggressively-small dead zone today or what.

Had moved away from a Logitech F710, which I was happy with except for the fact that some device somewhere near me had started occasionally causing its proprietary Logitech protocol to see drop-outs that Bluetooth controllers didn't see. Plus, OP wants to use his thing with an Android device, so he probably wants to stick with Bluetooth anyway.

I'd historically preferred Playstation-style controllers, but too many games detect and nicely configure themselves for X-box controllers and don't reasonably deal with the Dual Sense I tried. Also, there are few PC games that leverage some of the unusual hardware features that the Dual Sense has, so you're paying in money and weight for something that you won't be using.

While I like the controller itself and it's presently the best I've tried, I'll mention two major caveats:

  • It does not have rumble motors. This makes it lighter, but it is a feature that I would rather have than not. There are some PC games that do make use of rumble motors.
  • It has a Nintendo-style button layout rather than an X-Box style layout (at least the Hall Effect version does). 8bitdo does sell replacement buttons with XBox-style colors, if you're willing to deal with replacing them and remapping the buttons in software.

Also, specifically for OP's situation, it does not support pairing to multiple devices. I have a keyboard that can pair to three and then just choose the destination device with a wheel. He may want that, if there are game controllers that can do that, unless he's willing to get multiple controllers.

one2k, w Looking for a spaceship/sci fi game to play. Any thoughts?

Not first person, but Starsector is my go-to for my SciFi fix. Trading, pirating, smuggling organs and selling them on the black market, exploring star systems for suitable planets to establishing your own thriving colony...there is a ton of options and something for everyone.

TabbyCat, w What are some of your favorite videogames from your childhood? What made them so special?
@TabbyCat@kbin.social avatar

Heros of Might and Magic 3 is still one of my favorite games. Too many games from childhood to name, but that one holds a special place in my heart.
