but there are plans to bring Vibrant Visuals to Minecraft: Java Edition in the future

Well if it comes together with the official modding API, I have nothing to worry about.😅


That may be the case, but doesn’t change the fact, that games run better without Denuvo.

It also doesn’t change the fact that the activation limit is stupid as hell when you are using Linux and every Proton change counts as a new activation.

As far as I know Denuvo also hinders the development of native Linux builds of games.

And if you see video games as art, Denuvo actively stands in the way of preservation.

Obviously it is anti-consumer as you can’t do backups, need constant internet convection, if any part of the chain breaks you are screwed out of your game, it hinders mod developers and so on.


Time for another before/after performance comparison, just for an ignorant Denuvo salestwat to say: “Nuh-Uh”


Godot quickly became one of my favourite open source projects to watch. I played around with it for a bit when 3D was clearly an afterthought and seen continuous improvement ever since.


Dauntless, one of Epic’s first exclusives is shutting down on May 29th. An (ironic) post about which was shared here on Steam, if you want to see it

I am a bit sad for what could have been. But I am not surprised at all.

The game basically always stagnated and content came way to slow. Cosmetics and the battle pass were updated regularly though. Anyway since the game was dying, they brought an “big rework” and brought the game, previously only available on Epic, to Steam.

The big rework changed most of the game into a grindfest/paywall, especially for new players. Old players were shafted as in weapons, builds, armour they spend time grinding for was removed from them to enable a “fresh start”.

That obviously did not turn out well with new and old players. And now they are going to the live service game graveyard. Anyway fuck Phoenix Labs (and more specifically Forte Labs, a bunch of cryptocurrency twats who bought the former studio), another company blacklisted and I will never buy anything from again.


Very, very cautiously. It looks better than previous games on Switch, but still not good. On the other hand: maybe they are showing this footage from a Switch 2.


I would love to see these games on GOG. As of now a lot of the can be found on the high seas alone, sadly. (Looking at Black&White there)



Does that still work? Last updated over a year ago and the free games are usually protected by some rather creative captchas.


Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No.

Will people buy it? Yes.

Will there be more brutally expensive items because of it? Yes.



Which of the “final update, this time for real, believe me you guys, just this one more” do you mean? I think there have been at least 4-6 of those😂 But very happy, that is wasn’t true yet.


It’s like a $60 Mario Kart shipping with 16 race tracks and then they sell 16 new race tracks for $30 instead of releasing a new game on the same console with only the new courses.

These courses have a lower quality than the base game tracks, I think most of them were just straight up ported from the Mario kart mobile game.


They surely learnt from that. Now there won’t be an auction house and mail so close together, so players have at least one reason to be in the city. Oh wait, nevermind, they are already selling that for the price of 1,5x AAA game.


Every mod id ever played has been free.

If you’ve actively played Gmod in a multiplayer setting and you weren’t the server admin: i doubt that. Gmod has a still thriving paid modding community, mostly for extensions for Pointshops, TTT content or other game modifiers. It maybe was free to you though ;)



For farmers this effectively eliminates the need for an auctioneer alt. Now instead of sending mail to your auctioneer, you can now farm and when your bags are full instantly list it on the auction house. This is especially important on early markets (lets say new patch or expansion) as the prices go down quickly. This feels very much P2W for a full price game with a subscription.


Lol, that is not realistic for most players. The original 5 million gold was not realistic back then either.


Yeah, i built a tiny proof of concept Metroidvania for my studies… 150 hours. At least 70 were used to build, improve and then fix the animation tree which handled all states. Really cool that I could do that with Godot. The metroidvania was 2d single player and presumably 3d multiplayer is not easier. I hope the devs are more experienced than I was, though.



You would assume so, but then there are domains like .car/.cars/.auto/.sexy which cost more than 2000$ yearly.





And it can lead to stagnation. The latter didn’t happen yet

I could argue that it already did when Google abandoned JPEG XL.


Let them cook. They are delivering an official mod API that alone is a great move and I’d rather have it done properly than a rushed mess.



Overall some buffs and some lacklustre duo talents have been replaced. Looks good to me👍


Yeah, those proprietary apps were always cancer for PCs. I remember I had to uninstall some Razor Keyboard RGB thingie for a friend because it somehow introduced lag to Overwatch.


That is just scummy. Either they don’t want players to know because it is a shit studio… or they don’t want the studio to get a reputation, so they can offer them less money in future projects.



They literally don’t need to do that. Every platform has some sort of unique user ID, usually numeric.


I feel sorry for the Arrowhead devs.

After seeing a community manager on Discord mistreating on people who voice their concerns with this change, I certainly do not feel sorry for the Arrowhead devs.




Sadly it doesn’t seem to add the possibility of whitelisting/blacklisting games. I do not want to share porn & VAC games, not even with adults, since the bans are shared to the account actually owning the game.


Maybe. But the blue LED was also deemed impossible by a lot of big companies. And then a guy build one. Very interesting video on that topic: https://youtu.be/AF8d72mA41M
