Here’s where you fail to think when you call this “stealing”. You don’t own intellectual property as it didn’t come from the vacuum of your head. It’s built from millions of other contributors and our collective intelligence.

Don’t like this? You’re free to leave this to people who do and go do something else. No one’s forcing you to do this. You’re not even aware of your own entitlement.


Then do something that does? Are we supposed to literally ruin part of society just for your benefit? You’re not entitled to this.


Sorry but why not? If you can’t afford that don’t make it or don’t publish it.

We see with open source that lack of copyright is not restricting anyone’s creativity and ability to create. In fact the open source world is significantly more creative and productive than proprietary one.



This is why I’ll never feel sorry for Nintendo - karma is long overdue for this company. In fact, I’ll download a switch emulator right now just to spite them.


Lmao who would believe that gta 6 is not going to make an absolute bank? They could give it away for free and still make more money that they could spend.


Old graphics sure but mechanically Pokémon games kinda suck, especially the older ones. I’ll be honest I love the collection and monster part of the game but everything else is simply bad and I usually give up after 10 hours. It’s such a pointless slog.


Its much more approachable and not nearly as frustrating or difficult as those. We finished the game while being stoned if that tells you anything lol


I feel weirdly releived tbh. My server is pretty old and I was dreading of trying to get back and remember everything or feeling bad for restarting but now the choice has been made for me lol


Ship of Fools is -60% on steam right now and I can’t recommend this game enough. It’s a rogue lite where you both need to protect a ship from monsters maning the cannons and it’s an absolute blast! It has good progression and it’s intense but not in annoying sort of way.



Thanks for Halt and Catch Fire - can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before! Got my weekend booked



I’m having relatively good performance in 6600rx on Linux but after a while theres some sort of GPU memory leak (would be my guess) where fps halves until the game is restarted.


Was really sad when found out that my Linux home pc can’t run it on 6600rx. Turns out only needed a driver update and set desktop resolution to 1080p and now everything is running nicely at 60fps.

The game is really fun though I already added couple of balance mods:


I’m on AMD 6600RX and mesa 24.x was unplayble and runs almost perfectly on 25 now. So have hope!


Got the weekend booked for this. Excited just roam around and see how things have changed. Seems like it runs flawlessly on Linux too!


Miss the world of wildstar the most - its was a really creative theme park


Yup he’s right. Nintendo can charge whatever they feel like, add dlcs and monthly sub payments and 90% of people will buy it all the same.




Are they legit charging money for the tech demo game?

Also did they mention how much the “upgrades” will be?

Seems like I’m staying on Steam Deck until that thing wears down into a pile of dust huh.


I have noticed that all of these misogynists are incredibly insecure alpha-pretending males. Can’t imagine how tiring this constant fear must be.


World of Warcraft!

I know people like to look down on it here but it’s trully an amazing theme park metaverse experience.

I don’t have much time for it these days but just playing couple of hours every week is such a joyful experience. There’s just so much to do in the game, great writing, legendary characters, great people playing it. True metaverse experience everyone has been chasing lately.


The last two of their games - two point hospital and two point campus - were both incredible.



Just legal bullying. Good luck fighting an army of lawyers that are also lobbying the system. That being said all of that would be civil suits so if emulator creators don’t earn money they don’t have much to lose but the ability to continue the work.



Zero information about the developers on the web. Not a good sign


Saboteur is an incredible fun. Feel like replaying it now


Instant pre-order for me. Steamdeck has been by far my favorite gaming console but TV performance is only good for low requirement games and I’d love the same experience for proper 4k gaming even if it’s medium fidelity.


Crypto is a failure because of design failures not because “it’s some control ponzi scheme”.

I take issue with OP attributing the problem through appeal to emotion rather than actually learning what went wrong. As you implied the tech behind crypto is very interesting and there’s a lot of value there that has been buried.

Now, idiots like OP convolute all of this process with idiotic reductionism that helps no one and will just lead us to repeat the same mistakes.


Tried to play the game like 10 times - just can’t get over the incredibly poor performance. What a waste.


Yeah it seems kinda crazy these days to believe that society should organize itself democratically through trust and merit but Americans be like: “oh no the system failed me once - time to destroy everything!”


You know it’s possible to be critical of something without lying? You literally invalidate all of your points and I say this as a crypto hater myself. Just stop this stupid shit that is not helping anyone and just infect people with stupid.


Way to reinforce the meme that all crypto haters are idiots by straight up lying and making shit up. Come on man.

And here we are - greedy scam idiots on the left, angry ignorant haters on the right and we chug along through mud. The internet is so tiring…


The Guardian review is more critical than others. I’ve never known they even review video games. Are they always like this?


it’s selling well too though it’s actually 78$. They put Mailbox and Auction House on it which AFAIK the only mount that has both which is incredibly valuable.

If not the fuction I wouldn’t mind but because the function is so valuable it’s really poor form by Blizzard. I even love the mount and buy it as cosmetic but I’m not supporting this at the state it is currently.


Yeah I really liked puzzles and only found the timing puzzles annoying on a controller though with mouse and keyboard it was much easier.


I love the movement a lot in the last game and it’s so great to see more of the same focus! I hope it’s just not a reskin though


Alabaster Dawn is an Action RPG that builds on the best aspects of Radical Fish Games’ previous title, **CrossCode**. It features a deep combat system, challenging puzzles, and a mysterious world teeming with secrets, all bundled up in an engaging story. The shadow of Nyx has fallen—warping the world into a wasteland and vanishing the gods and their people. Now, Juno the Outcast Chosen, awakes to an impossible task: bring it all back.

I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Most interesting part of the article: > "Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC-based with 3-4 year release schedules to include more always-on gameplay through live services, multiplatform, and free-to-play extensions, with the goal of having more players spending more time on more platforms. U > Ultimately, we want to drive engagement and monetization over longer cycles and at higher levels where per specific capabilities we're currently under scale, and see significant opportunity to generate greater post-purchase revenue" What a major turn-off ngl.

Meta sneakily introduced "Platform Integrity Attestation API" which basically calls home to see whether the user has a valid license to play. This means that to run apps user has to have online connection to perform an integrity test. Whether it's only a test on launch or continues call home like Denuvo-like DRMs is not yet clear. This could also mean that modified headsets could fail to pass this test essentially closing down the device for modifications that could damage "platform integrity". Not all details are clear yet but this doesn't look good. Currently it's optional and up to app developers to enable it.

YSK about Hermit - app that turns web pages to native apps. Works great with Fediverse apps!
Android browsers can already add pages to home screen but Hermit takes this even futher. It has significantly better UX with frameless and full screen modes. You can bookmark pages, so on Lemmy you can quickly bookmark community in specific sorting order. There are user scripts and blockers and loads of customization. You can even add push notifications for changes on the site or RSS feed. I've been running most Fediverse web apps through Hermit and it works really well! The only exception is that I couldn't figure out how to setup notifications on Mastodon.
