Oh my bad, I didn’t realize they weren’t keeping on top of apple’s architecture changes

Pretty much anything valve released on the source engine. TF2, half life 2, portal 2, either of the left 4 dead games, all run on Mac and have co-op modes.

This shit is NOT fun and it pisses me off.

Yep sounds like a final fantasy minigame

I had an open world Terminator game back in 93 or 94. You could play Kyle Reese and protect Sarah, or as the Terminator and hunt her. Graphics weren’t great but that fact that you could go anywhere in the city blew my mind at the time

Do you honestly believe that complaining on Lemmy counts as “doing something about it”?

I only know about this thing because of this post. I’m not going to buy it, but do you see that what you’re doing is getting the word out and doing blizzards advertising for them?

If you don’t support the hardware in the first place you don’t have to continue supporting it!

Guy tapping forehead meme

It was the characters that killed. They were just so flat and unlikable, they were all like cardboard cutouts of tropes except rinoa and Laguna’s friends. I spent my time helping them win and hoping they’d lose lol

I do love he junction system though, it was brilliant and saved the game for me

I hope they keep squalls dialog

[…]

[Who cares?]

[Existence is pain]

Sure, change the only thing I liked about a game with a terrible story and flat unlikable characters, I’ll buy that

Game works fine if you’re on an OS from the last decade

Running an unsupported OS on the public internet is like refusing the covid vaccine and going to work with a fever. Would you listen to someone who does that? I wouldn’t, because any justification they come up with is going to be pants on head stupid.

They’re currently on sale!

functional software was just yanked away

It was updated. It wasn’t yanked away, it still works fine on modern OS’s. It’s silly to assume devs will continue targeting an OS that is out of support and irrelevant. Do you expect it to run on DOS too?

Nevermind that as long as your OS works for gaming

It doesn’t, lmao. That’s what this article is about. Also, if your unsupported OS gets compromised and integrated into a botnet, now your dumb preference is everyone’s problem. You’re the technological equivalent of an anti-vaxxer.

the last properly good version of Windows

8 and 8.1 were significantly more stable and performant than 7 and did not include the ads or spyware that is in 10. They failed because babies didn’t like the way they looked and threw a tantrum about it instead of just installing classicshell.

Cons outweighing the pros doesn’t magically mean there are no pros.

The only pro you’ve mentioned is “I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT”. Rockstar doesn’t give a shit what you want. They want to stop wasting their devs’ time accommodating a dead platform.

That’s a very narrow edge case that only applies to hobbyists. Luckily, those are exactly the sort of people who have the time and motivation to figure out how to get this working. It’s not like being unable to play gta4 on a 15 year old machine is going to negatively affect your life, if you want to play it that bad use a modern machine.

If you’re still on 7 it’s because 10 is a frustrating mess of spyware, failed tablet schemes, and surprise forced updates

If you’re still on 7 it’s because you’re dumb. Move to 10, buy a Mac, switch to Linux, whatever. There’s no valid reason to stay on an unsupported OS on a goddamn gaming rig.

Still - switch to Linux already.

Ubuntu 9.04 released the same year as win 7. It was supported for 5 years, vs win 7’s 14 years. Yet you don’t see anyone bitching and moaning that third party devs aren’t supporting it anymore. Strange, huh?

You’re essentially describing the pixel remaster, which already exists

Win 10 was a free upgrade for what, 4 years? If you’re still on 7 you asked for this.

They could save even more by using a completely fabricated voice.

Addicted to what? This isn’t a loot box, there’s no gambling seratonin rush. This package unlocks stuff you could earn by simply playing the game. It’s an expensive cheat code. How many people are addicted to that? Does your crime have a victim?

I don’t think they expect anyone to buy this. I think this is a marketing move. “Our game is so big that if you were to buy all these items individually they’d cost as much as a new Lexus. What a value!”. Pure PR stuntery. And here we are, discussing it, so it worked.

You’re asked to “pledge” to PBS to get a tote bag

Surprisingly yes, and it will do so for free (as in beer (stallman drinks a lot of beer))

I just couldn’t resist, the devs showed up at my house with guns, it was a whole thing. If only the state would step in and regulate stupidity!

They exist to protect you from other people. You can waste your money on whatever dumbass shit you want.

If you’re paying almost $50k for video game items the only person fucking you over is you. Grow up and learn a little bit about personal responsibility.

The government is not your parents and they do not exist to protect you from your own bad decisions.

Some patients using Linux reported an overwhelming sense of smug superiority and a need to crowbar it into every conversation. Do not use Linux if you are currently on GNU Hurd as interactions may occur

Not Linux betas. Linux is perfect in every way for every workflow. Got cryptolockered? Linux. CPU fan bearings crapping out? Linux. Suffering from irritable bowel syndrome? Ask your doctor about Linux.

Remember in Skyrim after you finished the dark brotherhood quest line when you’d get assassination quests like “Kill the [adjective] [noun] in [random dungeon]” so you’d have something to do after the handwritten quests were all done? That’s a radiant quest.

then I lost everything not knowing that was the way to do ng+.

Stop skipping dialog, it tells you that a few times. I prefer that to an immersion breaking popup or whatever.

good point, I wasn’t aware of any of that

Everything is worth what the buyer will pay. If there’s a collector out there who will pay $20k for a shrink wrapped Chrono trigger, even though he could just buy the steam version for $15, then it’s worth $20k. You might think it’s dumb, and I agree, but it is what it is.

Starfield is no buggier than any other Bethesda game. My biggest problem with it is it’s lacking the wanderlust of elder scrolls or fallout, the weird random discoveries are just kind of mediocre. Idk if there’s a way to patch that out

That was the first Mac OS with 64 bit on Intel silicon. 64 bit PPC was supported by OSX 10.3 Panther in 2003. The 64 bit versions of Windows Server 2003 (both ia64 and amd64) didn’t release until 2005.

The Powermac G5 was the first 64 bit consumer desktop, it predated the amd64 version of XP by 2 or 3 years

There was a trans character in Mario 2 and nobody cared

Victim blaming? You consider people who willingly pay for game cosmetics victims? You have a pretty low bar, huh?

It is Nintendo’s app store though. Maybe don’t buy a device tied to something like that if you don’t like their policies.

Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good

If they didn’t learn after the last 800 preorder dramas, they may not deserve it but they were sure as hell asking for it

Then those people are stupid
