Publishers need to stop announcing games that are still years away from launch, gamers agree (www.gamingbible.com)
Gamers are urging developers to stop the frustrating trend of announcing new games years before they’re scheduled for release.

britt, So, since JoinMastodon.org has decided to change the way servers are listed on their website — showing preference for large servers who do not have a manual review process to join —>

G/O Media, an online media company that owns Gizmodo and Kotaku has announced that it will begin a "modest test" of AI content on its sites.
ichderfisch, Reading this is nuts. Google changed its algorithm and websites are on the brink of death. This is what gatekeeping is doing.
Hate to see it, as Retro Dodo is one of my favorite websites. I read their articles almost every day. I got their book and backed/preordered the upcoming two which might never be released now.
If you are into Retrogaming or are interested in modern handhelds, consider bookmarking their website and supporting them.

gregly, @ichderfisch @eniko We used to joke about Yahoo vs Google. “There’s no way Yahoo will be able to maintain a curated tree of Internet sites when anybody can just search for stuff on Google,” we said, and at the time we were right.
But given today’s web, now I’m wondering if some sort of curated database of links, perhaps combined with a distributed “curator trust rank” system, is the way to go.

Over the last years I been thoroughly enjoying playing a mod of Ultima Online called Ruins & Riches. Ruins & Riches (formerly called UO Odyssey) is designed to provide a rewarding single-player RPG experience. Players of old Ultima games will find the world familiar, and a lot of the quests and lore draw upon the old games. The...

GuerillaGrue, Dear Fediverse:
I'm wanting to reach out to #gaming fans who have personal challenges that make some - or many - games difficult to access for them.
Visual acuity issues. Hearing loss. Dyslexia, or missing limbs or anything else.
I'm planning an article on accessibility features in video games, and would love to hear stories from people for whom those features aren't merely a convenience, but necessary for them to be able to participate in the hobby.
I'd appreciate help reaching out on this.
MsHearthWitch, @GuerillaGrue what kind of info are you looking for?
I have nerve damage in my hands, audio processing and hearing issues, and fibro brain fog. All of which make gaming an interesting experience.I'm pretty passionate about accessibility in gaming so love to hear it's getting more attention
Drusas, I'm not sure what to offer because my disability has made it so that I have had to give up most games.
I have a few issues, but the main problem when it comes to gaming is dystonia. I get cramps in my hand, wrist, arm, and shoulder from repetitive or rapid mouse clicking or button pressing, from having to heavily use a thumb stick, and similar motions. It's made worst by the fact that controllers keep getting bigger while my hands stay tiny. This has made it so that I can only play a very limited selection of games. I haven't found any solutions.
sarakathleenuk, Game help, please. Dad is stuck in hospital in US & bored out of his mind. I’m in UK. Need a turn taking game (like words with friends, but he hates word games).
He loves traditional games like dominoes & cards, but would like something new. He’s very unwell, anything complicated will go in the bin. His vision is ok, but tiny text will be a problem. We both have an iPhone.
Suggestions?
Retoots with helpful hashtags very appreciated thank you, I don’t know what to type 🫠

New study reveals most classic video games are completely unavailable
Fawn, Don't play #minecraft today and don't let it update or download any mods. Jar files are infected, potentially internet-wide.
Please boost!!!
Cyberpunk 2077 faced a tough reception at launch, but with the Phantom Liberty DLC nearing launch, one CDPR dev feels the RPG was better than history records....
It is the first game developed internally by Annapurna Interactive, although little else is known except that Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth takes place betw...

nixCraft, what about you? #gaming
MuseumShuffle, @nixCraft i’ve gotten to the point where I just want to explore, find secrets, solve puzzles, and enjoy a story. Boss fights are a miserable experience that impede me from continuing to enjoy the parts that I like. I don’t want to grind and/or repeat fighting a boss over and over again.
st3ph3n, @nixCraft uh... both.
Citing "lack of transparency from Fandom [...] loss of features [...] and toxic company culture."
This is the game being presented as the successor to SC2, a ton of the original Blizzard devs are working on this and it looks promising to me.
