Trolling should be more subtle

Are pop culture references theft? No.

That’s scummy, but I don’t care if your ads for amazon on your blog or whatever don’t work. Not my problem.

Interesting, every example people have given you in response is pretty weak. (I’m not saying I agree with Nintendo have any exclusive claim here.)

Let me enjoy making fun of them! ;)

By the time I got it I think most of the driver issues had been ironed out. I did have some trouble with a couple of games running on Linux with Proton, but those same games worked fine on Windows. I think there are some kinks to work out still with dxvk. It is possible that I just never tried one of these problematic games, though.

From what I can tell, that’s not unique to the lemmy network.

I guess being loathed and having an indifferent at best reaction to your murder is one potential negative consequence of participating in an industry that that devalues human life in exchange for profit as a matter of course.

What makes it “cartel style?”

I wonder if/hope they will release a 16 GB model like the A770. I got one of those on ebay for $180 on a lark and it’s really not bad. I put it in a dedicated media/gaming PC connected to my TV.

Nothing is forever

Nintendo doesn’t really restrict things in that way. It would be very strange for them to block a game from publishing on switch for those reasons.

No, it’s set to whatever the default is. I’ll try what you suggest, thanks!

I’ve been spontaneously singing a lot

My only issue is that since the DLC was released I can no longer play online on linux. It says “Inappropriate behavior detected” no matter what. Didn’t even buy the DLC.

So the most accurate and helpful descriptor would be “mario-like 2d platformer,” but then you might have no reason to click on the link if you’re a weirdo who thinks “Oh, that might mean a game like Mario Party!” ;)

Yeah, I have the special edition that will include all of the DLC (It was a promotional gift from AMD) and you would have to pay me to play any of it.

More of this game is not something I’m interested in!

I think it fits, because it looks like it would feel exactly like Super Mario World.

Almost 30 years and still basically useless.

The last time I tried that getting google play services working was a long, annoying process and did not work. I don’t expect google to make any of that easy for us.

I think you’re right, since a website like SteamHistory is definitely not going to bother establishing a representative in an EU state the only recourse would be to try to go through the US legal system and it’s far from clear to me how that would go. GDPR seems like it was written with actual businesses in mind, but SteamHistory isn’t exactly that. I think a business would want to comply or lose access to a valuable market, but there’s less leverage on a (seemingly) privately run web site.

Nothing.

As long as there are people who want to make games there will be indy game development going on.

People always say this, but the execs and board members making obscene money for doing as little a possible is the whole point of the endeavor.

/s is for cowards! I will never!

I hope Nintendo is able to make emulation illegal once and for all and end all this. People really shouldn’t be allowed to run whatever software they want, they should only be allowed to run Microsoft Windows and the fun games they include on the bonus disc

I think I’m remembering this early patch that finished several questlines that seemed to just end:

Several side quests were unfinished or broken at launch, weren’t they?

As cool as I think the knapping and clay working mechanics are, I also quickly decided that they were tedious. I do mean to get back to it though since I didn’t get much further than that, and I definitely missed a lot of what is there. Maybe playing solo did it no favors.

What content is illegal?

I think it’s perfectly capable of being used to make a compelling game, but Starfield seems to be a game for which the strengths of the engine AND the strengths of the writers and designers at Bethesda are completely mismatched.

I don’t think that’s correct. There’s a vetting process (so it cannot be “any mod”), and it can’t be an existing free mod.

Creations must be standalone, so it cannot depend on other community releases, free or paid. Creations must be all-new to qualify for release. You cannot re-purpose older releases – or work by other authors, unless contracted. Creations cannot contain anything produced through generative AI.

I don’t think anything was wrong with Sekiro. Maybe because it’s not online?

I remember reading that quote before the game launched. Weird.

But that’s not what happened at all with this game. I don’t get it. The complaint seems very minor. The game uses epic for cross play features- so what? A lot of games use third party accounts for this.

I’m pretty satisfied with Kagi after using it for a bit over two months.

I remember thinking it was bizarre how angry people seemed to be about that, like it was a huge scandal. It doesn’t matter, it’s not important! Go do something else!

I mean, chronologically, yeah.

It was a great idea to show that though, the event definitely generated more buzz than it would would have otherwise.
