redcalcium,

Looks like we’re finally able to use the mech!

redcalcium,

The people with appropriate skills must have the tv (it’s not cheap) and actually interested in jailbreaking them. So far noone has done so.

redcalcium,

How long until we get Microsoft teams up with Mountain Dew to release xbox verification cans 2FA devices?

redcalcium,

Steam is available in 237 countries, while PSN is only available in 69 countries. Some people are going to be locked out from the game they bought. E.g African players are going to be fucked.

redcalcium,

Hmm, what do you mean when a tank game has a tankies reputation?

redcalcium,

Sunk cost fallacy. The more you pay the more painful it is to quit.

redcalcium,

So, it’s like folding@home, but instead of donating your spare compute to science, you sell it to generate porn?

redcalcium,

I can’t believe they double down on this. It seems ubisoft’s management actually thrives on gamers’ rage.

redcalcium,

Afaik there is no crack for The Crew because it stored your progress on ubisoft’s server and has no local save data.

redcalcium, (edited )

There is a possibility that the game actually has a hidden “production mode” where it allows offline play. Make sense though because the game developers must be able to run the game during production where the server hasn’t been up yet. Research into the possibility of reenabling this mode in retail build seems to be losing steam though. Looks like it picked up some steam again: steamcommunity.com/app/…/4306075118785997064/

redcalcium,

Seems like it.

Save Game Dumper now available

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world) angielski

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

redcalcium, (edited )

Games back then were also typically made by two dudes: one programmer and one artist. Heck, the original doom was made by five dudes: two programmers, two artists and one designer. I wonder what kind of nes games could be made back then if they had AAA budget like modern games.

redcalcium,

Double Dragon on NES had a jump that was impossible to make forcing the company to make a new cart and give refunds.

I didn’t know this. This is obviously why I never finished that game and certainly not because I suck at it.

redcalcium,

Made me wonder how long Apple would support their Vision Pro devices as both devices are similarly locked down by their manufacturers. The Quest 1 was released on 2019, so it got about 5 years of support. Apple might support Vision Pro for longer (maybe 7 years?), but at $3499 (vs Quest 1’s $399), it’ll going to be hurt for the owners when it’s no longer supported.

redcalcium,

Wtf I thought the previous update was the last update?

redcalcium,

There are a lot of things to do in nms now after years of updates. Right now it’s 50% off so I say it’s worth it

redcalcium,

It’s basically space Minecraft. Not all people like that kind of game.

redcalcium,

wtf I never heard of this game before. How come a game that cost ~$140 million had virtually no marketing except for Will Smith posting it on his youtube channel?

redcalcium,

I sincerely hope that Yuzu developers don’t end up like Gary Bowser and have their income garnished for life by Nintendo.

redcalcium,

He’s not innocent and went to jail for it, but does it warrant garnishing his income for life? I think they went too far with that.

redcalcium,

Elaborate?

How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? (lemmy.world) angielski

So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me. However I’ve noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to “give out” over the course of a couple months. For instance I’ll be...

redcalcium,

How come nintendo switch (with replaceable controllers), has major stick drift issues, causing owners to buy several controllers over the life of the console, while nintendo switch lite (without replaceable controllers) seems to have more reliable sticks? Does nintendo manufactures the replaceable sticks with just enough tolerance to last barely outside the warranty period so their customers would buy more?

redcalcium,

But Nintendo switch lite is the cheaper device here?

redcalcium,

AAA means they’re going to charge $70 for it.

redcalcium,

Wait until a Japanese studio shows up with an S-tier game.

redcalcium,

This looks heavy. Finally you can game and getting awesome biceps at the same time! Put bigger battery for longer gaming time and bigger biceps.

redcalcium,

I think it’s either Super Mario Land on gameboy, or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can’t remember which.

redcalcium,

Well, if you look at their main competitors, it’s kinda true though.

redcalcium,

I do play Into the Breach a lot though, both on steam and Android (Netflix), so maybe I’m one of them.

redcalcium,

If only those “think of the children” politicians would do this instead of attempting to ban encryption.

redcalcium,

Well, it’s China. How the commerce law affect you will depend heavily on who you know in the government and the party. If the new law is heavily pushed by someone important, they probably won’t turn a blind eye for minor technicality. Someone up high probably got mad with their kids getting addicted with microtransactions and want to neuter it. Once that person lost interest or no longer in power, the enforcement will probably become much lenient.

redcalcium,

So, if the ISP eventually deployed cgnat and broke P2P, they’ll going to be screwed, right?

redcalcium,

Which would be passed to their customers in the form of more expensive VPN price. Either way, the ISPs are the winner here, and I think someone mentioned that it’s practically impossible to create a new ISP due to regulatory capture so there will be no competition to challenge the oligopoly.

redcalcium,

I’m behind cgnat myself and I can download but can’t seed. If everyone is behibd cgnat the swarm would be dead fast. In Korea, there are only 3 ISPs and if they collude to use cgnat with client isolation, they can kill these P2P scheme used by streaming site and boost their profit sharing revenue.

redcalcium,

We’re still taking about Korean ISP charging streaming company for bandwidth, right? If the streaming service setup some TURN servers to help people behind cgnat, then they’ll going to get charged by the ISP because the traffic originate from TURN servers operated by the streaming service instead of peer-to-peer traffics among users. These ISPs rejected Netflix offers to put their caching servers inside their network afterall, so the TURN servers will have to be located outside their network and thus subject to the bandwidth charge.

redcalcium,

They could at least add Vita compatibility and it’ll instantly has hundreds of games available. A shame since Vita itself can play PSP and PS1 titles.

redcalcium,

Hardware-wise, vita is nothing special. It’s just an arm cortex device, which means Sony will have much easier time making the runtime works on newer arm processor. They don’t even need to port the whole os, just the runtime would be enough. If a bunch of volunteer can make vita runtime from scratch on their own free time (and managed to get various Android games running on vita runtime too), there is no reason Sony which have access to the source code can’t do it with less time.

No need for extra touchpad in the rear either. Vita TV didn’t have it and work fine without it too.

redcalcium,

it’s not a “nothing special” device, it literally has a psp encoded into the soc package…

It’s nothing special anymore today because current arm processors are fast enough to fully emulate PSP, unlike the time when vita was still in development.

this is just flat out incorrect, a huge amount of games just don’t work on the vita tv because of the lack of touch interactions

Only a few dozen out of hundreds of vita titles, and mostly due to the lack of touchscreen, not the lack of the rear touchpad. Most vita titles that use the rear touchpad only use it as a workaround for the lack of R2/L2 buttons (and many of them already patched to recognize R2/L2 on vita tv), which the portal has. If the portal has vita support, it’ll support more titles than vita tv simply because it has a touchscreen.

redcalcium,

Batman and Flash is one of my favorite NES game.

redcalcium,

Steam deck has HDR support now, which means HDR support for AMD gpus on linux will improve at accelerated rate going forward. Nvidia users (me included) can can only look with envy I guess.

redcalcium,

If you have an AMD GPU, the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 will have experimental HDR support. Or you can use gamescope (a compositor made by valve for steam deck) as your login session which will launch steam in big picture mode (afaik you can’t run other apps except steam in this desktop session).

redcalcium,

Bleem!

redcalcium,

Heck, if you look at AliExpress, there are a bunch of bootleg retro “console” that boot straight to retroarch for like 10 bucks.

redcalcium,

Truck Simulator players would disagree.

redcalcium,

What happened 10 weeks ago? Did they run some projections and realized their Fortnite revenue aren’t going to cover the operating expense for the whole company anymore?

redcalcium, (edited )

If Denuvo’s claim that their DRM has no negative performance impact were true, then why Ubisoft pull this shenanigan (adding Denuvo DRM just hours before release)? Ubisoft must’ve know their game run better without Denuvo so they want the reviewers to play the drmless version.

redcalcium,

It’s not a day one patch, but day-1 patch. The game will be released a few hours from now.

redcalcium,

Plenty of website did this… more than a decade ago, and even then plenty of security conscious people writing blogs and posting on social media begging devs to stop doing this.
