Nintendo dying confirmed!!

Yeah, if a product is sold, I expect it to work for the most part. Now, mistakes happen, and not much to do about very obscure things and it’s great if thing can be added afterwards.

But what I want, and this is apparently wild, is a finished 1.0 product that works as expected.

On one hand I kinda feel bad because I just recently bought a Steamdeck on Valve’s word that there won’t be new Steamdeck for a few years, but then again, it still works and it will work until the next iteration, maybe a Steamdeck. I would still kinda feel better if Valve didn’t make that obviously misleading statement, given that they worked on a steamdeck that is lighting better in all aspects for a long time.

Now I want to see the reactions of people by giving any Spider-Man an offensively hard French accent.

He was rebooted many times but he was always Bruce Wayne?

No. He was dead numerous times and other people took up the mantle. Most notable Dick Grayson.

I don’t know how it is in the games, but in the comics he was originally someone who lived in the same world as the old Spider-Man and took up the mantle. Peter Parker wasn’t replaced as a character, he was just dead.

Restricting, not preventing like you said.

Actually, no.

While it’s hard to imagine anyone finding goofy mods swapping cartoon characters or kids’ TV characters for grisly monsters all that scandalous - something that Capcom seems to recognise by acknowledging that “the majority of mods can have a positive impact on the game”

This might be an issue, however:

In a separate slide that’s explained a little more fully, the company adds that the impact of mods on their reputation isn’t just the result of someone stripping Leon Kennedy down to his knickers. Players who install mods only to suffer performance problems such as crashes, freezing or save data corruption can end up turning to Capcom for support, which can then eat up workload and development budget that might otherwise be spent on creating higher-quality games.

That’s true. I think pretty well showcased by the ROG Ally. Better hardware than the steamdeck, no doubt, but due to software it ends up not being that much more powerful effectively.

But tbh I, and probably many others, don’t care that much about the Linux. I would’ve been fine if it was Windows with the same price and performance. What I care about, that I can play mobile.

If I just wnated Linux I would install Linus on my PC, no real need to buy an extra device just for that.

I wonder what they’re doing with the sequel. The easy way out would be to just pick one ending. Not picking one and going all wishy washy is not the best solution either, because a lot of things would be significantly different and it would leave people who haven’t played the first game in a weird spot. So I think they will choose a canon ending anyways.

Yeah, actually, why is that even a thing?

I think it will be fine as long as Gaben is there. I am afraid that after he retires or ascends into Godhood somehow John Riccitiello will get his ass into that seat.

He’s been there for 9 years, not like he was just recently hired.

They just really like EVE Online.

The title should already give you a hint. “Everybody Hates” is a good beginning to a title for a 00s sitcom, but not exactly peak journalism here.

I haven’t pre-ordered since Stellaris. I bought in the launch week when I was sure that the game of desire was actually playale and fun.

Preorder FOMO shit can miss me, I have gacha games for that.

A game engine

No, they were bought by SEGA in 2005, so a really long time by now.

I knew that game was DOA, I just didn’t expect it at this point to not even make it to the A part.

After what CA did to Warhammer III it’s even more infuriating that Hyeanas was thing and was for six years. All for nothing.

Netflix’ East Asian kid: “Noooooooo”

While other devs are fighting errors, rpgmaker became the terror.

Use Chrome and stop insulting Google for sunsetting products. Embrace our lord and saviour Google and Google won’t try to get rid of you.

It doesn’t work the same here as with B2C products. Excluding hobby developers who wouldn’t been hit either way. most people paying for Unity are trying to make a living and a company eradically throwing the pricing model around is not a good look when there are altrnatives around.

People can and will go to alternatives for new projects. Unreal, if you want a marketplace and impressive 3D and Godot if you want FOSS. Not to mention the otber game engines.

It’s about money here, in some cades not little amount of money.

Great, what else then? Child labour?

Gotta love how they really tried to check every argument against the engine.

Financially, trustwise, politically. Next would be sexual harassment in the office then.

Unity the Right something something

Don’t shove us all under the same rug. I packed my bags, shred my old comments and posts and went into the Fediverse.

Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft Lawyers united… that’s an enemy you don’t want to fight. Each department alone is scary enough. All three of them? Now, that’s something you want to be on very solid ground for.

Takes a while to make a game. If I had to start right now, I would not pick the product where I wouldn’t be sure where it stands in 2-3 years.

Epic Games is probably celebrating right now.

What cracks me up the most is that Jack already had a Twitter clone in the works, ready to be released once Musk burns down the old plattform and people wish for Twitter but without Musk back.

Bavaria is a traditionally very conservative state. The Conservative party is ruling with an iron grip for decades.

The unbundling is largely targeted at enterprises, as Microsoft will keep bundling Teams in its Microsoft 365 Business plans that are offered to small businesses.

¿que?

If you have time, I also recommend the People Make Games documentary that takes a look at and interview the people both sides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIGA8taN-M

It’s more than two hours, but it’s worth every minute.

Copyright for the first Middle Earth starts running out in 2032, 95 years after The Hobbit was published. Probably want to milk this out of money while they still can, even if it’s for scraps.

That’s what it is. They need approvement from the UK and will play nice 5-10 years and then they reconsider.

Not when they accidentally install apps. Then just a useless install and uninstall that helps neither Google nor the user.

I mean, people buy, so it’s worth doing that. In the end there is demand from people to play old games in more modern technological glory. If it wouldn’t be interesting to many people, people wouldn’t do it.

And in fact, I very much enjoyed some remakes myself.

There is the matter of graphics, but also the matter of quality of life and accessiblity that progress every year. I love some old games, but very commonly the controls irk me or the fact that I can’t do some things. I had to unplug my monitor to play old Battle Realms for example, because it would throw a fit if you had more than one monitor. The remake fixed this.

I also believe that people very much enjoyed the Resident Evil remakes.

Eech. The comments under the original tweet are rancid. Twitter is really Musk town now.

I mean, it’s still 50 Dollar. I concede that calling it an AAA game is not right, but it’s still an expensive game that I will not buy at launch, certainly no pre-order.
