It’s good to hear that they are against exclusivity they released the source code for the original Postal a few years ago so they really seem happy with fans enjoying their games however they can.

Sorry I edited my comment because shortly afterwards I found an article about them making the original open source. Is someone charging for a Dreamcast version?

I saw this in their article that I linked above

It’s definitely been a wild ride for us all, and POSTAL means a lot to us – it’s our baby… But now we’re ready to hand the future of ‘the little shooter that could’ to the public at large. People have been asking, and we have been promising this for years now, but today we are proud to announce that the source code for POSTAL is officially released to the public on Bitbucket, under the GPL2 license. Everyone now has ‘under the hood’ access, to see what makes POSTAL tick, and anyone with the time and skills can now tweak/change/update/modify anything in the game at all! And hey, if anyone feels the urge to port the game to other platforms (The Dreamcast, for example wink wink), then they absolutely can!

I kind of hope they add dystopian elements. It would be an extra thing on top of my sewage canals

In Windows you can add a pulse effect to the mouse that’s triggered by pressing Control. It’s under the visibility settings.

Thanks for the tip.

Do not be afraid to fail there is sometimes better storytelling from fails.

I wish more games took that approach. Most of the time it just feels outright punishing

Little makes me feel more like an adult than getting excited to empty my Roomba

Does it just work through Google accounts? Not OP but it sounds neat

I actually forgot to add this. A few weeks later while they were out of their unit a group that manages their fire suppression system came by as part of routine inspection of the building and they didn’t mention anything. I don’t know if they would normally say something but I feel like if it was bad enough they probably should have.

I mean they have a few boardgames under their coffee table.

dbzer0 has the largest piracy community and should meet all your needs

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I think it depends what you are looking for but I think a solid rule of thumb is to look at what communities you interact with the most and see what instances they belong to.

If piracy is specifically what you are after I’d go for dbzer0. If it’s NSFW content that kind of complicates things.

I decided to give leminal.space a try and I like it. The admins are nice and quick to deal with issues and make posts about changes in the instance.

That’s the instance I was using originally until they had the domain name issue. I’ve had issues getting their website to load and for some reason it’s on uBlock Origin’s EasyList.

CorrodedCranium,

Could be but I feel like they would have had their other website taken down if that was the case. I hope they address it in their monthly update post in September.

The Steam Deck is changing how normies think of gaming PCs.

Just thought I’d share something I thought was pretty interesting. I have a mother in law who is… well let’s just say she’s a stereotypical older mom who doesn’t own a computer, just an iPad. During the pandemic, she started getting into Nintendo games and bought herself a Switch. Fast forward a few years later and...

I’m not too sure. I used to browse /r/MacGaming despite not owning a Mac but I lost of track of things when they killed 32 bit support

VR headsets and games with anti-cheat software still have issues. I haven’t been able to get Oculus Rift S to work for example.

I think some headsets like the ones made by Valve and HTC work better though. I’m not sure if there’s currently the same degree of rapid advancements for VR Linux gaming as there are for gaming in general on Linux. I know OpenHMD exists but I haven’t tried it out myself.

Have you tried using the PSVR on your computer?

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I would have linked an article. I haven’t experimented with it myself but it seems like there’s one paid project available through Steam that aims to support the PSVR

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Me too. Messing around with hardware is something that’s always stuck with me from when I was a teenager. If you give the PSVR thing a test mind messaging me or commenting so I can hear how it goes?

Sure thing. I posted a photo in another comment just a little further down but basically Lemmy.World blocked a couple piracy communities across different instances to protect themselves and their users.
