Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.

bdonvr,

I mean - they’re better than the codes they used to slap in boxes. At least you can lend these or sell them (for the lifespan of the console, or whatever server it uses…)

bdonvr,

Yeah, they’re not tied to accounts or consoles. Any console with the card in will be able to play the game after downloading it. You can trade or sell them.

Codes and boxes are just digital purchases with plastic waste attached and no further benefit.

They’re shittier than real physical games, but they still do have that one advantage over digital games, just with the drawback that you still have a physical cartridge you have to switch out and carry around. It’s a mixed bag.

bdonvr,

I mean they’re clearly not. Codes are one time use and forever bound to you, these can be sold/traded.

I’m not saying they’re good. Just that there is an advantage (and disadvantages)

bdonvr,

I’ve played Portal 2 in VR

yes you need to be VERY used to VR to even think about this without vomiting

bdonvr,

The Steam Deck is basically a laptop in the shape of a gaming handheld. You can install any PC software you want right out of the box.

bdonvr,

Yeah but it’s way easier and less tinkery than what’s described in the OP

bdonvr,

Incredible game. If you ever get the chance I 10000% recommend playing it.

After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE (lemmy.world) angielski

For context : have no idea how they found about it, but I love that they are illuminating indie games. And VICE.com has 12 million monthly readers. This is insane for me , because for a long time I was struggling for the game to be noticed. (If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam...

bdonvr,

That’s probably why I saw it I’m my steam recs the other day then. So the publicity is working!

bdonvr,

They gave out Wipeout and infamous for free out of that, I got a lot of play time out of those two games.

bdonvr,

The Nintendo switch came out in early 2017, and it really wasn’t all that powerful then. It’s 8 years later, and it really shows. I don’t think they should make new games for the Switch. If developers have to consider the original Switch, the games will suffer. It had a good run, and a good library. But it’s time for the original switch to retire.

bdonvr,

You’ll probably want an early model then they usually have the most vulnerability

bdonvr,

Sure but that’s far less convenient than early switches where you could use a bit of aluminum foil in the controller socket lol

bdonvr,

noirscape.github.io/RCM-Guide/

You need to bridge a few pins in the controller connector. There’s several ways to do that as shown in that link. Then you can upload jailbreak software from a PC.

I personally used aluminum foil successfully, then bought an actual jig later.

bdonvr,

Basically.

So the Switch uses an Nvidia Tegra X1 chip to power it, which isn’t the only device nor the first that it was used for. The Nvidia Shield TV and Google Pixel C (tablet) used it too. On those devices holding down a certain button at boot would put it in a special mode that let it boot from code sent over USB.

The Switch simply did not have this button, but by shorting those pins you send the same signal.

This is a very low level hardware feature so Nintendo couldn’t ever patch it with an update. They had to make new hardware to fix it.

Game evoking Oct. 7 Hamas attack pulled after police appeal, creator says (www.aljazeera.com)

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, released in 2022, lets gamers play as the fictional character “Ahmad al-Falastini,” a young Palestinian student, as he takes revenge on Israeli soldiers who tortured him and killed his family. An updated version of the game called Operation al-Aqsa Flood, the name Hamas uses...

bdonvr,

Only in the UK - still available elsewhere

bdonvr,

Honestly I struggle to imagine how Steam could support it more.

bdonvr,

Not really? Conceptually maybe. But if you can install whatever OS you want and aren’t forced to use official distribution methods then that seems pretty PC to me

bdonvr,

bdonvr,

When I found out people are adding achievements to retro games (retroachievements.org)

I’ve played a lot of Super Monkey Ball 2. Time for a bit more

bdonvr,

I think a minimum would be open sourcing the server backend, or at least a compatible one, once servers reach EOL.

bdonvr,

Wait Arms Race left? Seems like it would’ve been pretty simple to keep in.

I used to do Arms Race as a warmup for comp matches

bdonvr,

CDMX

bdonvr,

YouTube view counts can lag a few hours behind when videos get sudden huge views like this

bdonvr,

Seems like a great reason for them not to fix it

bdonvr,

For a TV console? For better download speeds and more consistent connection for online gaming

WiFi works okay but it can’t have cost that much to put an Ethernet port into the switch dock

bdonvr,

Discs suck, other than for used game sales and collecting.

But used games sales is a huge plus. But realistically I think we’ll see maybe one more console generation with physical media.

bdonvr,

Could probably get a flashcart and load the ROM on there
