So gamepass? Bet they’re afraid that Steam is opening up

Correction: the process of trying to scan your face for bigscreen vr is complete trash

One of my friends has a headset and loves it, with full body tracking it’s a nice setup!

What lol

I’m fine with passively supporting sites I visit

What an abysmal site, I had to scroll past so many ads I now wish my instance had downvotes. There were 19 ads in front of the article

The Sims business model

They still don’t have proper shader precompilation? That’s insane to me

I wasn’t born yesterday lmao but thanks for explaining the obvious

Do you really think this guy is lying about it?

I’m not sure if accusing someone of lying about cancer is worse than lying about having cancer, but c’mon

Farming Sim has an esports scene!

Fair, I wasn’t clear! I’m sure Remedy would LOVE to get the game in as many player’s hands as they could

If our kids become farmers they’d have to rely on goberment subsidies and I’m not raising no socialist!!!

Yep, I’m aware of why they went with Epic, but if Epic wanted to make more of a return they’d put the game on the platform with more paying users. But they decided they don’t want that

I think you replied to the wrong post (maybe a client bug?)

Funny comparison. One is a yearly multiplayer-ish release and the other is a sequel to a 13 year old singleplayer action game. I have no doubt AW2 could sell a ton more copies… but they’ve decided they don’t want that

Vizor explained that Ricochet uses a list of hardcoded strings of text to detect cheaters and that they then exploited this to ban innocent players by simply sending one of these strings via an in-game whisper. To test the exploit the day they found it, they sent an in-game message containing one of these strings to themselves and promptly got banned.

Vizor elaborates, “I realized that Ricochet anti-cheat was likely scanning players’ devices for strings to determine who was a cheater or not. This is fairly normal to do but scanning this much memory space with just an ASCII string and banning off of that is extremely prone to false positives.”

This is insane, they had an automatic script to connect to games and ban random people on loop so they could do it while away

erm ackshually

Why are you arguing about something that matters so little?

Undead Nightmare becoming suddenly easy to stream around Halloween will probably boost sales a bit too

steam enhancement suite might have it?

I rebuilt just after the pandemic so that’s good, graphics cards were still too expensive though so I kept my college card from the previous build

Considering I’m still on 6GB I think I’ll take whatever I can get 😅

drm is optional on steam, plenty of games are just binaries you can backup like any other. Not that it helps much with the games that do use it…

That’s a great idea, thank you! I can probably get a decent deal too

Please, I’d love to upgrade me 1060

Definitely good games! Just weird names

It’s “fitting” but that doesn’t make it a good name

Octopath Traveler
Octopath Traveler II
Triangle Strategy

Bravely Default is pretty bad too

Uh, k

LPT: I t’s usually a safe bet to ignore anyone deriding a game for its “wokeness,” their opinions are reactionary and not based in any reasonable sense of reality

wtf…?

Dang, ya got me

People on lemmy sure are sensitive to jokes

Good! Companies going public because $$ is short sighted

I played in most of the betas and didn’t have these problems. It’s obvious from the footage that they’re just not very skilled at the game, maybe if they tried the lock-on camera they’d be able to follow the action better. Reminds me of new Rocket League players.

And complaining about learning a button combo is… not substantial. When you’re in PvP it’s a single button press (you can only hop between 2 roles instead of the 4)

Loved that thing, I could play party games from downstairs with our 5ghz network. Made college weekends so much fun!

Palworld had a big update at the end of June too, brought back a bunch of players

It’s not too surprising that people obsess over player counts when most of the news about how well games are doing is based on the metric.

They’re right though, gamers are way too eager to call any low player count game dead when really it’s the casual community having their fill of the latest content update.

One game I think handled daily rewards decently (after a decade of making it a chore) is Destiny 2. They used to have daily bounties at every vendor, now it’s just a handful and there’s a weekly “pathfinder” with branching goals, completing it lets you start another but since the rewards drop off it doesn’t feel like you’re missing out by not playing.

I played this last year, loved it! Nice review and the sequel is also excellent

Probably true, it’s so funny that he has to promise his fans that he won’t charge for any bonus content even though he’s totally earned it 😆
