I switch over to desktop to install new games, but that isn’t strictly necessary - you could run Heroic in game mode and install from there.

Once a game is installed through Heroic it will automatically add a shortcut (I.e. Non-Steam game) to Steam. For the shortcut to be visible, however, the Steam client needs to be restarted. This is why I switch to desktop for all my installing needs then reboot in to game mode. When playing, I never need to leave game mode.

The easy way is with the Heroic Game Launcher. Log in to your GOG account and direct install.

Not entirely. Sony has been releasing games to PC.

I’m not patent savvy - of they are only granted this year (as a point of origin for the patents’ eventually expiry), wouldn’t the years of previous Pokemon games invalidate these patents due to prior art?

Sure, I hadn’t implied that the game was patented, but the mechanics were present in a game that is over 30 years old.

How do Japanese patents differ from USA/CAN? My general understanding of patents is that they expire after 20 years - Pokemon is older than that. Do Japanese patents have a longer duration? Did Nintendo patent a game later than the originals?

How old are they?

*Patenting

• Divinity Original Sin
• Soul Reaver through to Legacy of Kain - Defiance (Elder God)
• Titan Quest
• Shin Megami Tensei
• Cat Quest
• Hades
• Smite
• Mortal Kombat?

I loved Tribes. The verticality, the freedom of movement, the timing of slow moving projectiles. It’s one of the few multiplayer FPS that I sunk time in to and got quite competent at.

The only other game to scratch the freedom of movement itch in the same way was AVP2, playing as the Alien (wall walking, pouncing across the map, etc) though obviously it didn’t have a lot of the same features.

Tribes is so far behind me that I don’t remember any of the people, servers, etc that I played on, but I do remember my nick: Guy In The Sky.

As others mentioned… Mods. I frequently played Renegades, but I believe HaVoC was my favourite.

Oh, and PlanetTribes/PlanetStarsiege? F.

Oh my goodness. Thank you, checking this out.

I think “Renegades”?

Goodness I actually have a pixel 3a kicking around.

Now if only I could find a use for my galaxy s8 besides glorified webcam.

Biodegradable silicone would be kinda cool.

That said, the 2 months wait and uncertainty of products seems to be a thing of the past (based on the things I purchase, not like I’m ordering skinny jeans), as most stuff arrives in 2 weeks and hasn’t made it to the trash.

Though Canada Post being on strike is likely to bugger that up.

[Edit] I stand corrected - AliExpress packages just came through, ordered 10 days ago.

I looked at ordering a soldering mat to support them, but couldn’t justify $50 when aliexpress was selling them for $3.

Minecraft?

Think of all the effort you spent when you could have just waited 36 years to watch a video compilation instead.

Bit of awkward phrasing, but the commentator was not talking about Steam exclusivity - rather having it available on Steam (in addition to wherever else it was available).

Clearer wording may be “if only it had been on Steam”.

Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).

Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).

I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.

Appreciate it!

For all the times I’ve seen this written I’ve not ever seen any mention of what the abuses were. Have any details?

Such a good set of games. I wonder if there has been any work on the controls - they were always a bit janky.

Probably this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nintendo-sue-paco-gutierrez/

Check out Square launcher. Took the WP design and extended it. Gloriously customizable.

Extra Fabulous Comics.

250? Rookie numbers.

Also I’m not going to watch this. What are the Coles notes?

AMD had ray tracing experts?

Something something abusing moderator powers on Lemmy, getting caught due to the public mod log, then deleting his account and complaining about the audit trail?

I’ve only read it in comments, I don’t have any links to provide evidence.

Finally, an Animorphs™️ game.

Wtf is Veilguard? What happened to Dread Wolf? Same same?

Edit: Shame on me. First line in the article.

My memory is fuzzy, but Perfect Dark had bots, while Goldeneye did not?

Perfect dark also had a greater number of modes/settings.

Is this the game that was in embroiled in controversy about stealing assets?

Informative, thank you.

Reminds me of this accountant who programmed an RPG in to an .xlsm sheet.

Starship Troopers waving is arms for attention while Helldivers takes centre stage.

Pretty sure it comes from credit rating systems.

I’d forgotten Starfield existed

AVP2 was my most played multiplayer FPS. Inventive gameplay as a wall climbing, pouncing Alien just carried a sheer thrill to it.

What does this feature do?

Volition has been shuttered, so who does this money go to? Embracer?

Edit- Who/what is Plaion GmbH?

Edit 2- Plaion GmbH is a subsidiary of Embracer. Pass. Would rather pirate these games than support Embracer through the estate sale of a studio that Embracer themselves killed.
