Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?

I regularly get blue shelled and I still smoke people. There’s still lots of strategy in the game and randomization is something that keeps games fresh. At the end of the day it’s an arcade racer, not everything has to be Gran Turismo

We called that game “Don’t Drink and Drive” back in college. I always just chugged mine at the beginning of the race

Considering you get better items when you’re behind, it’s a no brainer

I’d say it’s an inevitability, just a question of when

Mark Wahlberg in the Happening. The name of the movie is fairly ironic because nothing fucking happens

It was a pretty fun DLC from what I remember

Me too. I feel gross giving Nintendo money, but at least I split a family plan with a bunch of friends

Giant Bomb, a web site about video games, has been purchased from Fandom

Just announced on twitch.tv/pax, live from PAX East. The reaction was so negative to what happened with Giant Bomb that Fandom sold to Jeff Grubb and Jeff Bakalar. It sounds like this deal closed yesterday. Along with those two, Dan Ryckert and Jan Ochoa are now co-owners. Mike Minotti was informed of this deal this morning, and...

I’d start watching regularly again if Jeff somehow came back

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’d say the Jeff that hates Mario party, but now that I think about it, I don’t know how Jeff, Jeff, or Jeff feels about it. I only know how Jeff feels about it.

If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.

Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.

I remember thinking when fandom got them “well they can’t be a worse steward than red ventures”

Welp.

This guy sure looks like he gets what nerds want. Eat a dick, Perkins.

Their crunch culture is def bad (they’re going to kill Sakurai one day), but there is quite a few things they do right. They don’t lay people off and their executives take accountability. Iwata took a significant pay cut when the Wii U flopped.

Currently, in our bank account, we have £2100 (around $2800). It’s not even enough to pay the rent for one month," explains Joseph Redon, head of the Japanese Game Preservation Society. He’s describing the end of the non-profit organisation he set up in 2011 with the aim of properly safeguarding Japanese gaming history before it is lost forever.

Bummer, it looked cool

They have not, actually.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

How so?

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t think we know for sure how updated it is until tomorrow. Mod support is another big question mark

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think there’s a shot that there is zero mod support. It’s Bethesda’s bread and butter. What I’m wondering is will old mods be compatible/portable? Rumor is the game is running old gamebryo engine logic alongside UE. Looking forward to seeing what this actually is tomorrow

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

So the combat and leveling systems have been reworked, but aside from that it’s largely unchanged mechanics wise, from what I can gather. I just booted it up 5 mins ago so I can share more impressions in a few hours

I love my Anbernic. Such a cheap and convenient way to emulate old games.

Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven (www.eurogamer.net)

After four hours with Switch 2, and time with all of its new first-party games, I can see it - though the console’s more experimental side is also its weaker. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with creating a better version of a hugely-successful console, keeping the main Switch concept of hybrid play intact while...

I was downvoted back to hell for saying the mouse was meh.

I see that comment of yours at -1, really not all that bad imo. Still dumb to downvote people for honest opinions though.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Why would I need that when I already have a cube that plays games?!?

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’m so excited to see benchmarks. Nintendo’s offering has a 1080p screen, but I’m curious to see if it actually has more horsepower than the deck and its 720p(ish) screen. My guess is it doesn’t in handheld mode.

Knowing Nintendo, we won’t know until June. Gonna hop over to digital foundry now to see what their impressions of the Wednesday direct was.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds like there’s actually a free roam feature and an overworld in the new Mario kart game so this actually makes this conversation a possibility

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I was watching the nextlander coverage and they were hoping for “burnout kart”

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I am hyped

NOT_RICK,

Besides crushing emulators, how will Nintendo compete?

The same way they have been for a while, by making charming, accessible, and fun games. The average consumer doesn’t care about how litigious they are, unfortunately.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I dunno why people are so downvote heavy in this comm…

Yeah I agree that Nintendo has seen the most success when they have a compelling gimmick; time will tell if the same gimmick with more power will do the trick. I doubt the mouse gimmick will be more than a novelty, but we’ll see what they show tomorrow.

Meta: “We're Still Investing Massively In VR Gaming And Don't Plan To Stop” (www.uploadvr.com)

Meta says it funded over 100 VR & mixed reality titles that shipped in 2024, as well as over 200 currently in “active production”.

I’d probably own one if it wasn’t zuccs

I thought you could do that with the PvP mode in SM2?

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve been happy with my blood Angel jump pack marine, although the unlock treadmill was a bit slow for my liking

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll do that. You’re right in that it’s been years since I booted up the original. I want some death company gear too which I don’t think is in 2 at all.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

They put their games back on steam, that was nice

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Been clean from this game for a few years now. It’s really not worth it; Niantic just uses it as a geospatial data harvesting tool rather than focusing on making an entertaining game, imo. There’s a reason all their other games have been failures, the Pokemon IP is the only thing keeping this game afloat.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a decent reason to play. So long as you know what data they’re sucking up and selling and are ok with it, more power to you. What’s crazy to me is I live pretty close to a couple of gyms and I constantly see people drive up and play from their cars. Now that I think completely defeats the purpose.

NOT_RICK, (edited )
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Emulation isn’t inherently theft. Nintendo leverages emulation themselves.

Edit: Jesus your modlog is a shit show. Completely unsurprised you’re a corporate bootlicker.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a fun game, I recommend

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’m cautiously optimistic for this one.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I enjoyed Legends Arceus despite its performance issues. Looks like they fleshed out a lot of what made Arceus fun so I’m optimistic. Also very interested to see what they do with the alt starter third evos. Loved Totodile back in Silver so I think I already know which one I’ll go with.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah those games were unplayable trash imo

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I had an extra voucher so I used it on violet. Near instant regret.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Same. Definitely had its limitations but it was decent fun. Figure if they can pull that off on a shoestring budget they can make a great fantasy rpg
