catloaf,

This feels like something either from Obvious Plant or Cinco.

catloaf,

Everything about this is stupid, but breaking the trophy isn’t his fault. They knocked him over in a way that made him hit the trophy stand.

catloaf,

Wasn’t Prey basically BioShock in space? It felt like that to me (at least the first level I bumbled through before the game crashed and I gave up).

catloaf,

I don’t think this guy understands what innovation is. The Steam Deck and Wii aren’t particularly innovative. The Wii is a bit unusual, but pointer controls didn’t stick (though gyro controls have, in a minor way). The Steam Deck is just a regular handheld but with an x86 CPU.

I don’t think people are going to buy small consoles to play big games. And a powerful handheld is overkill to play small games. If people want to play small games, they use the phone they already have.

The handheld console sweet spot is slightly more powerful than the Switch. But the Switch’s selling power isn’t its hardware, but its library. Nintendo games have selling power. And even outside of that, the Switch has a surprisingly large library of third-party games like Skyrim and Doom. But if people really want a console that will do everything, they’ll get a Deck, because I know you won’t be able to do whatever you want on Microsoft’s handheld.

catloaf,

It’s Microsoft, so it’d be Windows-based, just like the Xbox.

Which is not to say it wouldn’t run Linux, but it would probably be a hassle to get all the drivers working for whatever hardware they put in it.

catloaf,

Playable, if not played.

catloaf,

I’m confused as to how that one wasn’t shut down years ago, but others like this have been.

catloaf,

What do you think would happen if the mod authors filed a DMCA takedown against the game?

catloaf,

dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/…/work

I found several definitions where this meets the definition of “work”, but I’m interested to hear your argument about how “time and effort spent doing a task” is not work.

catloaf,

It’s not a question of capability. It’s a question of cost-benefit spending developer time on a feature not many people would use.

Couch coop was a thing because there was no way for you to play from your own homes. Nowadays it’s a nice-to-have, because you can jump online any time and play together, anywhere in the world, without organizing everyone to show up at one house.

catloaf,

Right, EA would file a counter-notice. Then the modder would have to get lawyers involved and file an actual legal complaint, and EA would respond with their lawyers.

But once they file the counter-notice, you could just stop there. They could sue you for filing in bad faith, but I’ve never heard of that happening.

catloaf,

Profit is not explicitly one of the four factors of fair use.

Is there some sort of Indie Game Showcase? angielski

Started playing a few indie titles on PC, or at least titles that I would not normally be able to find without digging a bit (Sea of Stars, Hollow Knight, Garden Story, etc). Finding games that are made by smaller studios is a little (not much, but a little) harder than finding “Top Sellers” on Steam. I have tried Steam’s...

catloaf,

Seriously? Hollow Knight is/was a huge hit. The other ones I’ve heard of before by word of mouth.

You can easily find indie games on Steam when you browse by any method. The ones of major devs will be obvious recognizable names. Even on the front page of the Steam store, it looks about a third of them are indie games.

Or you could look at other stores like GOG or Indiegala.

catloaf,

Oh yeah, curators is the other one I wanted to mention but couldn’t remember.

Steam does have indie events, but really you won’t find anything there you can’t find just by browsing the store pages.

You can also hear of a lot of games just by being in game communities like here on Lemmy.

And don’t forget about games outside the major stores.

catloaf,

Some people enjoy the games, and that’s okay.

catloaf,

Steam does support it. A long time back, I was still new to Steam, and activated a key on a second account I’d created. I opened a support case, told them I’d activated it on the wrong account, and asked them to transfer it. They did.

catloaf,

“I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?”

catloaf, (edited )

If they settled that quickly, their lawyers must have told them they’d have gotten fucked six days to Sunday. Obviously this isn’t good for Yuzu, but if the settlement is only monetary, that means they can continue development (minus whatever detail Nintendo considered too far, probably the keys thing).

Overall this is probably the least bad outcome.

Edit: apparently it’s more than just money, they’re shutting down: theverge.com/…/nintendo-yuzu-emulator-lawsuit-set…

Given that it’s GPL software, though, I expect someone else will pick it up before too long.

Edit2: also looks like this is a recent repo fork: github.com/archive-nexus/yuzu

catloaf,

You know you can refund on Steam up to like two hours of runtime, right?

catloaf,

Why?

catloaf,

Why would someone care enough to make the curator page saying whether they worked on it?

catloaf,

And unlike the pregnancy test, this one appears to be actually running on it, not just using the case as a shell around your own hardware.

catloaf,

They make this guy get up in the middle of the night to tweak some balance numbers? What the fuck?

catloaf,

It sounds like he also writes the events. The article gives the example of one part ending faster than expected, so he added a bit about the forces pivoting to mine the planets. A director AI can’t make stuff up from scratch. (ML-AI could, but it wouldn’t be very good.)

Epic Games reportedly hit by 189GB hack, including login and payment info (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

The report comes from Cyber Daily, who also broke the news of last year’s confirmed hack attack on Insomniac Games. The site claims that new ransomware group Mogilevich are the culprits, as per the screencap of a darkweb posting above, and that the hackers are now trying to get Epic or another party to pay up for the return of...

catloaf,

No, when you store your card, it doesn’t actually store the whole card details. It communicates with the payment processor and when the card is approved, it gets back a token that says “this card is valid”, so in the future they just have to send that token and the payment processor says “yup I know the card you’re talking about”.

At least that’s how it’s supposed to be. You’re really not supposed to store card info yourself.

catloaf,

They’re profiting from something they themselves say is illegal.

catloaf,

Minesweeper. Space pinball!

catloaf,

Honestly that would be better than the 3D that runs extremely poorly.

catloaf,

I count 25 in the Arceus regional Pokedex, if that gives you a rough estimate.

catloaf,

One thing they show but don’t mention is image persistence for transparency. If you toggle a sprite on and off every frame, the persistence between frames on CRTs and LCDs means it looks partially transparent. That effect was commonly used for character shadows.

catloaf,

I think of the little crawling gremlins from Metroid.

catloaf,

If you have write errors, you have a bad card.

But the filesystem is just FAT, isn’t it? You should be able to copy at the file instead of block level.
