It's SO GOOD. If you're reading this and you like puzzle/mystery games, play it now, play it blind, and have a pad and paper handy.

It tests your ability to remember and navigate routes, in an environment that's explicitly non-Euclidean. And you have to think out of the box sometimes to solve things.

...damn I need to play again. I think it's been long enough now.

$10 to replay it, replay meaning you already have the switch version. Or free if you have switch online expansion pack. It's only going to set you back 90 (instead of 80) if you've never owned it and you want it on switch 2

I think breath of the wild has always been overpriced lol. And it's not news that Nintendo rarely ever discounts their older games. But the vast majority of people who are gonna want to play it on switch 2 already own a copy ( I hope).

I wonder what this'll do to the price of used physical copies

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Chrono Trigger MSRP was $70 iirc and some titles were even $80

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

The upgrade pack is also free for Expansion Pack tier switch online subscribers from what I've heard at least for botw/totk. So if youre already on one of those for N64/GBA/Genesis/GameCube then it's no extra cost

@subignition@fedia.io avatar

For 10 bucks, it better have a button combination that unlocks Mario Paint 2.

I haven't seen a damn thing in the marketing that justifies it being anything other than free. If it's worth 10 bucks, you better show that shit off. The audacity to call it "welcome tour" with a $10 price tag is wild

Looked over your privacy policy and it seems pretty reasonable. I was curious about how location is used though - could you give me the gist of what kind of in-game features I might miss out on by denying location permissions?

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

From the Privacy Policy:

Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device's location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

I was asking for clarification about the last line.

Thank you for the details!

I definitely wouldn't recommend tweaking a legal document without the advice of a lawyer, especially when it's not in your native language, but hopefully the project will raise enough funds that you'll be able to hire someone to do that soon though! Fitness games are good ideas, and the art here looks real cute.

Day 164 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (pxscdn.com)

I did the Maneki-neko Statue side quest in Control today. It ended up taking all evening but it was fun tracking them all down. The first statue i found was actually the last one i was supposed to go to (the secret door). I ended up getting this screenshot too of the the final group photo for the cats:...

That one secret with the cubes, I have no idea how anyone was supposed to stumble upon that.

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

I found only one of them myself, it was the warehouse elevator one, and so when I looked at the door it was at 90 degrees to the other one, so I thought I only needed to find two. Looked it up and I was VERY mistaken.

Funniest thing is I did the first part of the astral bathroom one unintentionally. Chucked a cube at a discolored piece of wall around a corner and it disappeared. Looked closer and it was a bathroom instead of the receptacle I was expecting... didn't put two and two together.

The cost of having to have an account to get "easy" driver updates always seemed a bit high to begin with. I never really found its game optimization profiles to be useful either.

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

I mean, my point is there's no reason they should be overhauling it entirely (at the cost of performance) when they could just pay some competent Windows programmers to un-shit the existing Control Panel. Yeah its UI sucks but it's not going to make you drop frames for just having it open

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

I am highly skeptical of that. There are plenty of hobbyists making new things in ancient environments. I just don't think Nvidia has ever been very competent at software engineering (drivers excepted as they're in a very different domain)

After Larian is done with The Witcher 4 whatever their next project(s) are, they should pair up. Infinite money glitch

edit: dumb

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Got a little mixed up there, I recalled hearing that Larian already had plans for their next game after BG3 but my brain incorrectly autofilled Witcher as what that game was - that's not even the right developer. Silly brain.

Ubisoft is being sued over The Crew in a lawsuit that compares the server shutdown to a bumperless pinball machine (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

“Imagine you buy a pinball machine, and years later, you enter your den to go play it, only to discover that all the paddles are missing, the pinball and bumpers are gone, and the monitor that proudly displayed your unassailable high score is removed”. As reported by Polygon, that’s an argument put forth by a new lawsuit...

The French are renowned for their cuisine, but Ubisoft doesn't know how to cook.

When you distribute physical copies of games to stores, I don't think it's really practical to prevent physical copies from getting taken inappropriately 100%

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

We know. It wasn't funny.

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

people play games prior to release all the time, the major issue here is streaming it. (and uh directly antagonizing nintendo didn't help)

subignition,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Then that pretty much defeats the purpose of physical media, people will be out in droves angry that they can't play their new games offline or have to day 1 patch, etc

There's no perfect solution here.

There is a slightly more expensive family version of NSO that you can add up to 8 users to

    Elite:Dangerous is sad for its own reasons, too, and I have a similar count of hours logged. Glacial pace of development and a lack of strong game design / sense for balance. I'm still stunned by how much of a selling point the background simulation was, and how limited it actually is in practice (it did get some love over the years, but far too little too late IMO.)

    Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

    I need some suggestions on what to play. Single Player games only. Most of the games make me feel lonely and alone. In most of the games, the protagonist has to deal with the problems on their own, like Control, Crysis, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War (I liked the original 6 more than the new ones, even though the new ones had...

    Undertale gives you the option of being kind to nearly everyone you meet, and you can befriend several characters as well.

    What... are they even doing with this

    subignition,
    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    From the site:

    DarkPattern.Games is a brand new website. We are starting with iOS and Android games because this is where most dark patterns appear, but we will be adding other platforms soon.
    Because we are new, we have a lot of games that don't have any reviews yet. This will improve over time and we are working hard to get games reviewed. Please help us by finding a familiar game and submitting a review.

    Amusing that aside from the GPU TFLOPS the rest of it is a slight improvement if at all

    I had a good amount of fun with this game, it's a shame I have to downvote it. It was a little difficult to get into at first, but I stuck with it and had a lot of fun. I chose to develop a big-ass ship like you speak of and eventually became a lumpy Death Star knockoff.

    subignition,
    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    This sounds really interesting. I'm gonna put this on my wishlist in hopes it goes on sale or something. Can't justify $25 right now due to circumstances.

    This is SOLID GOLD holy shit

    edit: OKAY I FINISHED THE FIRST CASE ABSOLUTELY PLAY THIS

    Looks like "Cube World but actively maintained", could be interesting

    subignition,
    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    This is a fantastic game. I haven't finished it; I screwed myself over by losing patience and skipping content near the end and wound up stumbling into the final boss so underpowered that I effectively softlocked myself. I should play this through again and stick to a completionist play style.

    subignition,
    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    Oh no, the author passed away? I remember enjoying this and wanting to check back later when it was more finished.

    subignition,
    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    Now this is a real oldie but a goodie. Glad to see that it is mostly unknown from the ratio. Obligatory downvote

    The original Legend of Zelda. You had a large open overworld to explore, and IIRC could do many of the dungeons in any order.

    subignition,
    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    It hasn't aged too badly, but it's from an era where you were not necessarily expected to figure everything out on your own -- talking about it with IRL friends or reading tips and tricks in a magazine (or on the early Internet/Usenet) were pretty normal. I would say give it a try but don't be hesitant to look for a guide if you get stuck or lost.

    subignition,
    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    Skyward Sword in particular was pretty linear despite technically having a literal 'overworld' of sorts.

    Twitch probably doesn't care beyond reputational damage/liability.

    a settled lawsuit between Twitch and Beahm, where neither party admitted to any wrongdoing, and his contract was paid.

    In fact it sounds like Twitch made an effort to keep it quiet, which was successful until these former employees spoke out (hope they don't suffer consequences)

    Edit to add: Which is not to say there couldn't be separate consequences. It's just not going to come from Twitch. I'm sure a certain three letter agency is quite a bit more interested in Beahm now.

    Separately, I wonder how significant the extra bandwidth costs will be on the overall expenses of running the service

    From Mbin, it looks struck through, lol

    Looks like Lemmy has decided to use a flavor of Markdown which is inconsistent from Mbin's. That's a shame.
