Time to find out

For non-german readers: The german online Computer Magazine "computerbase" has an article (references the original information from [PCGH](https://www.pcgameshardware.de/AMD-Radeon-Grafikkarte-255597/News/RDNA-1-und-2-Finaler-Radeon-Treiber-fuer-Battlefield-6-und-Bloodlines-2-1485427/)) which mentions that AMD will drop "Feature Support" for RDNA 2 and RDNA 1 GPU Architectures starting with AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2. They will only receive updates for critical or security related issues. Also no Game specific patches/fixes. I think this is a very customer un-friendly decision. Especially regarding the Handheld market with the "new" Ryzen Z2 GO and Ryzen Z2 A processors. They are (for example) used in - Lenovo Legion Go S - ROG Xbox Ally Especially the ROG Xbox Ally released just 2 weeks ago and it will not receive GPU feature updates. What a big downside....

It all began with a copy of Animal Crossing Wild World, and it’s a collection of memories I’m sure I’ll never, ever, forget. Let’s discover them together, and visit my old towns too!

Fuck Nintendo.

Chroma Squad is a fantastic turn-based RPG that is both a loving homage to the Power Rangers, but also an ingenious look at the production of a TV series. Rather than fighting evil as the Crayon Box of Justice, you instead play a manager of a new Super Sentai show hoping to become the greatest show on television. It's a formula that works fantastically.

Xbox controversially raised the base price of its mainline games to $80 in an announcement a few weeks ago. Now, it seems to be backtracking. Good, I say. A few weeks ago, Microsoft announced that the base price of its Xbox games at retail would hit frankly staggering $80, underpinning what has been an incredibly tough year for consumers and businesses alike with regards to spiralling costs. Whether it's supply chains being impacted by arbitrary trade wars or sticky inflation from Covid quantitative easing, the market has been relatively unstable for the past few years for a variety of reasons. In response, various businesses have put up their prices to varying degrees. Microsoft and Sony both raised the price of their Xbox and PlayStation hardware bundles over the past couple of years, and for a short while, it looked like the industry was poised to raise the base price of their mainline games to $80. It started with Nintendo's Mario Kart World hitting $79.99 at retail, and then back and forth over whether Borderlands 4 would hit $79.99 as well — it ended up being $69.99.

Valve announced a change for Steam today that will make things a lot clearer for everyone, as developers will now need to clearly list the kernel-level anti-cheat used on Steam store pages. In the Steamworks Developer post Valve said: "We've heard from more and more developers recently that they're looking for the right way to share anti-cheat information about their game with players. At the same time, players have been requesting more transparency around the anti-cheat services used in games, as well as the existence of any additional software that will be installed within the game."

I'm a newcomer to this channel. I'm really addicted to Pvz2. I really want to play the Pvz2 original, but I can't seem to find it. I really want to play that version, so is there anyone who can give me the Android file of the original Pvz2 version? thank you

Luigi's Mansion 3 is an almost perfect game. The first half is an incredible experience, and the most charm I've ever seen in an Nintendo game. But the second half has some major flaws that holds it back.

To Whom It May Deeply Concern, I write to you not with courtesy, nor diplomacy, but with a blazing fire of indignation and righteous fury over the suffocating, authoritarian, and frankly disgusting actions of your organization. Collective Shout - an entity that masquerades as a moral guardian - has become nothing short of a censorship machine, functioning under a warped, puritanical crusade to erase anything that doesn't fit your rigid and Cherry-picked version of "appropriate" content. Your behavior is not that of a benevolent protector of society, but that of an ideological inquisition seeking to annihilate freedom of expression wherever it dares to show a shred of originality, edge, or nuance. Let me be unequivocal - your group has no moral high ground. You do not represent "all women." You do not speak for society. And you most certainly do not speak for the millions of us who value artistic liberty, diverse storytelling, and the personal responsibility to choose what media we consume. You are not a grassroots watchdog. You are a self-appointed, unelected censorship lobby, whose behavior reeks of the same Orwellian overreach one might expect from repressive regimes. Let’s get right to it. Your efforts to pressure Valve (Steam) and indie platforms like Itch.io into delisting and banning games - particularly ones that explore adult themes, anime-styled art, edgy humor, sexuality, or uncomfortable subject matter - are not only anti-consumer, but blatantly authoritarian. You paint all creators with the same broad brush, declaring their content harmful or exploitative, while ignoring context, nuance, genre, intent, and even satire. Worse yet, you treat adults as if they are infants incapable of making their own decisions, demanding companies act as your moral police. You Cherry-pick games out of thousands, often misrepresenting them, weaponizing outrage, and demanding total erasure from the public sphere - not regulation, but outright obliteration. This is not advocacy. This is ideological fascism dressed in progressive drag. You’ve reduced a complex, multifaceted cultural medium like video games - a legitimate form of art - to a battlefield for your performative outrage and virtue signaling. Your idea of helping women or protecting children apparently includes silencing artists, crushing small developers, and bulldozing consumer agency into the dirt. And don't even get me started on your hypocrisy. You rally against fictional content while staying suspiciously silent on real-world abuses that aren’t politically convenient or ideologically aligned. You have no issue rallying your digital pitchforks against harmless visual novels or fan-made indie games, but where is your energy when it comes to holding major corporations accountable for systemic exploitation in media, fashion, or advertising? You see, your activism is selective, convenient, and ideologically filtered. You only care when it serves your brand. You don't protect people; you curate narratives. And you dare to insult the intelligence and autonomy of every free-thinking adult in the process. I speak as a centrist, someone who believes in balance - in protecting the vulnerable without infantilizing society or handing over our civil liberties to mobs of moral puritans. I also speak from a mildly conservative perspective when I say: enough is enough. You are not the solution. You are part of the problem. You’re not just silencing perverse or extreme content (which already has laws and community moderation in place). You’re silencing weirdness, art, criticism, uncomfortable stories, and mature themes, and you're doing so under the false pretense that you are "protecting" people. The truth is, you don't trust people to think for themselves. And what’s worse - you don't want to. And what do you think happens when organizations like yours suppress, stifle, and silence under the guise of righteousness? You drive people underground. You create resentment. You provoke backlash. You feed the very anti-feminist and anti-progressive sentiments you claim to oppose. Congratulations. You’ve helped burn the bridge to discourse and torched it in self-congratulatory flames. In the heart of justice and the restoration of creative freedom, I call upon your moronic organization - or any platforms you have influenced through coercion - to reverse and revoke every single action taken against affected games and developers. This includes but is not limited to: restoring delisted games, reinstating wrongfully banned creators, and issuing public apologies to the individuals and small studios you’ve dragged through the mud. The damage you've caused - reputational, financial, emotional - is not something that should be swept under the rug. You owe the global indie development community a reckoning. You must repair what you’ve broken, admit the overreach, and stand down from policing artistic expression that falls outside your moral doctrine. Otherwise, history will remember your group as a blight on creative culture - a bitter footnote in the timeline of digital censorship, authoritarian activism, and social overreach. You are free to hold your values. But you are not free to enforce them on others under threats, manipulation, or corporate pressure. We didn’t elect you. We didn’t ask for your judgment. We don’t want your crusade. Stop harassing game platforms. Stop treating artists as criminals. Stop silencing those who don't think like you. And above all else, stop pretending you’re doing this for anyone’s benefit but your own self-righteous vanity. Because if you continue on this course, rest assured - a cultural pushback will come. You are already being viewed by many not as protectors, but as moral tyrants. And history does not remember tyrants fondly. You have every right to exist. But you do not have the right to dictate what the rest of us can see, play, create, or enjoy. Stay out of our libraries. Stay out of our hard drives. And for the love of liberty, stay out of our lives. Sincerely and unapologetically, A Centrist Who's Had Enough

Has anyone noticed all the train games hitting Steam lately? Here's one that looks pretty badass, Denshattack!, with some very striking graphics. Anyone else hyped for this? Looks like the perfect game for perfecting runs.

Could be a genre, a developer/publisher, or franchise. What's the video game equivalent of fast, not particularly good, but maybe a guilty pleasure?

Seems like a pretty good 2.5d metroidvania! The demo of this game will be playable in the next Steam Next Fest (June 19 - 26)

Watch Dogs Legion is a great game thanks in large part to its incredible recruitment mechanic. It's got its flaws and limitations, but Legion laid the groundwork for what could have been a great feature going forward. Too bad Ubisoft killed Watch Dogs.

Anyone running a 13x or 14x should test their PC using Intel’s stress test utility, especially if you have had crashes. It’s permanent damage and they will replace your processor. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005567/processors.html Also update your BIOS if you have those chips. There is a software fix for if you haven’t been affected yet

Dune Spice Wars is a solid 4x game. Here is a play through of the start of the game. Give it a look 👀 [https://youtu.be/CMX7GvlAKQg?si=Gbp6pyK5Tkn\_E6m3](https://youtu.be/CMX7GvlAKQg?si=Gbp6pyK5Tkn_E6m3) [@gaming](https://lemmy.ml/c/gaming)
