I dont know that this is the sub where we want to talk about emulation and the stuff that comes with it. Especially when it comes to indie game devs imo

Man, as someone who is not religious at all, some of these rituals are sooo weird to me.

Like making someone a saint not that long after their death. The concept of a saint itself is also weird to me. Its like an honorary degree from a university or an “employee of the month” badge.

I cant put my finger on it, to be honest. Just seems so weird

Interesting theories in this.

My gut was telling me its a frame as in its like steam machine, where its a box, but you can customize the insides etc.

You wont regret it

I assume you have, but I’ll call it out in case anyone hasn’t.

Anyone who likes lil gator game should ABSOLUTELY play a short hike. Its a 10/10 masterpiece imo. Really short and no replay value, but so good.

Energy innovation is woke now, that’s why

Ah I wasn’t aware but not surprised. Not sure why you’re getting down voted for sharing information. Ahh reddit lemmy

Child gambling company?

Ah, the south park approach. It’s genius

Im skeptical it’ll translate to 3d but I’ll give it a go.

Better than harvest moon imo

As in, there aren’t discounts? I only ever look st my wishlist during steam sales and I see plenty of discounts and I dont see the msrp having been raised or anything

Is that GOGs own launcher? Why specifically for Linux users?

Controls never felt good to me on steam deck. I hope this fixes that

What’s weird about it

I read this as “fractured bloons” and was excited for a new bloons tower defense game

And steam deck

Until it gets mass adoption, then the enshitification will begin. Bluesky is still funded by a corporation.

Factorio, stardew, civ vi are my top 3.

I downloaded unreal, opened it, got overwhelmed and un-installed it.

Pretty happy with godot so far

Thats pretty critical of you to say

In EA until yesterday

Games also sell at a much higher volume than they did back then.

Wages have also not kept up with inflation, which is why games at over 100$ would be out of reach as a casual hobby for most.

Grand prix story and game dev tycoon.

Both good games, low stress, clear progression

Yeah i know. I meant more in terms of peope who don’t know the way these two are connected.

Atari has had some very sketchy business practices and screwed over consumers a bunch of times. Most people don’t know they are effectively the same company as infogrames

Guess they ran their brand too far into the ground. Now they gotta dig up another

I’ve been playing a ton of game dev story. To the point where now I want to try my hand at making my own simulation type game in that style

Like with Canada’s population, lots of bots

Aren’t there games where the physical disc doesn’t have the entire game on it or won’t even run without a patch? Wouldn’t that effectively be the same thing if they decide to stop providing the patch?

I play my steam deck WAYYYYYY more than my ps5. And quite a bit more than my switch.

It would he nice if they added native controller support

Oh cool I didnt know that. That’s handy

You can control the computer but it boots in big picture so you need to escape it to get to the desktop

Or a strong wifi network. I have a bunch of wired access points and was able to get really smooth streaming

It’s really hard for small games to get noticed. Even if they are good.

Ok. I was being hyperbolic. But clearly AA isn’t used nearly as much as “indie” is.

Sure. No one uses that term though.

Indie style game?

As inaccurate as it is to talk abojt publisher size, it is helpful to give ideas to aesthetics and budget. I find myself more interested in smaller games like this, so I pay special attention when the term “indie” is used, even if it’s from a big publisher (child of light is another good example)

I just bought it! Maybe I was #3,000,000!

On Android?
