Buy Game on Platform A.

Go to Platform B and tell them : see, I bought Game already, let me play it here too.

Platform B : “who are you and why should I care?”

Proving your digital ownership never was the problem. The problem is those platforms are different companies and have no reason to honor a purchase from somewhere else.

brsrklf,

I remember when there was a set of creature parts in Spore that you could only get from a Dr Pepper promotion, and only in North America, of course.

Got it from good people who were redistributing them, but still, yet another way the assholes at EA tried to make that game worse than it should have been.

brsrklf,

Sources du dénigrement : “trust me, bro” par Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, et le président de la techno concurrente.

Je pense qu’on peut clore le dossier.

brsrklf,

J’ai offert une caméra à déclenchement auto à mes parents, pour leur terrain. Y a un blaireau qui vient souvent se faire tirer le portrait, entre autres (chevreuils, sangliers, renards…)

C’est plutôt marrant, le rituel du relevé de carte SD pour voir qui est passé par là pendant la nuit.

brsrklf,

Pas trop mal, bien sûr c’est généralement en mode infrarouge (parce que la plupart de ces bestioles sont nocturnes). En général la caméra est plutôt en mode vidéo, ce qui fait qu’on doit avoir un peu moins de résolution je crois, mais ça reste très correct. Ça fait des prises de 4-5 secondes.

Il faut un petit temps pour que le capteur de mouvement déclenche la prise, de temps en temps le timing est un peu à côté et on voit juste un bout d’animal qui est déjà à moitié parti, mais dans l’ensemble on a quand même quelques clips sympa.

Bon après dans le cas du blaireau au moins, il est pas trop pressé.

brsrklf,

À l’époque, j’avais payé ça 70€, mais aujourd’hui ça a l’air de tourner autour de 50 pour un truc du même genre je pense. J’en ai pas racheté depuis un moment, donc je ne peux pas vraiment en conseiller une.

Ils appellent ça généralement des “caméras de chasse”, mais bon, clairement chez nous c’est pas pour ça qu’on l’a mise.

brsrklf,

Only thing I gathered about Foamstars, around the time it appeared, is “yeah it sounds like Splatoon, but not really”.

It’s been so generally overlooked I don’t even remember what was supposed to make it different. So yeah, that’s a weak basis for any kind of interest.

brsrklf,

Konami is just selling its IPs to absolutely everyone lately.

V Rising got Castlevania too, and Vampire Survivors got… Contra, because I don’t know.

brsrklf,

They also make them for the new 8bitdo controllers (at least the SN/SF30 pro, those shaped like SNES controllers. One of my favourite controller designs ever).

Unfortunately it seems they don’t sell those sticks as parts, only in new controllers.

My SN30 pro’s left stick started to drift, and it means it’s basically dead. I’m a bit pissed about that.

brsrklf,

Yeah, I saw their repair part section, they offer very little.

To make it more annoying, I already repaired that very controller. I had to change the battery because the old one was becoming useless. It was not too easy, since all I could find as a generic part (following a YouTube tutorial) was a slightly bigger battery that was a pain to fit in the case.

brsrklf,

Hey, I never thought of using them like that! Mostly I just used those as stabilizers.

… fuck, I need to start playing again.

brsrklf,

It’s a downward spiral.

First you play Breath of the Wild and you unintentionally drop the rock on an early one, make it “oof” in pain and making you a bit guilty. Then you meet Hestu, you see a few dozens more of the crafty little bastards, and you start enjoying dropping stuff on them.

And then Tears of the Kingdom happens, you’ve seen literal hundreds of them by now, and now you’ve got an infinity of new ways to make them scream in terror.

You’re going to hell, and it’s totally worth it.

brsrklf, (edited )

Kind of?

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom both try to get away from usual logical puzzles with set solutions for open-ended situations with lots of tools to solve them, often relying on the physics engine, environment and a weird set of powers. TotK turns it up to eleven.

It adds powers like making some stuff rewind time, combining anything you can find with your weapons and shields, and yeah, most impressive of all glueing lots of stuff together to make absurd contraptions. There are basic materials everywhere, and in particular bits of machinery like motorized wheels, rockets, hot-air balloons, fans, flamethrowers, …

You can even save your own machine blueprints to rebuild them from elements you find or have in your inventory, on the fly. It’s crazy.

brsrklf,

No way they can enforce that. I hope nobody is going to intimidated by this.

brsrklf,

Embargoes do get a bit of backlash sometimes, but not nearly enough.

When I am aware they are a huge red flag for me in any case.

brsrklf,

You know, no better way to achieve growth than firing the team that brought you one of your best recent successes.

brsrklf,

Your comment on forced product placement reminded me of Tonic Trouble, the weird, mostly forgotten Rayman 2 sister-project in late 90s. It was basically Rayman 2 trying to be quirkier and mostly ending up in the “trying too hard” area.

Power-ups in the PC version came as Nstl chocolate bars for no reason (except a big check I assume). Hard to ignore which bars exactly, because they came from big vending machines sporting a logo that’s probably the most detailed texture of the game.

brsrklf,

It’s also a very weird fit. So in NA, the hero goes to… a salad dressing vending machine? And just eats a full bottle of sauce?

brsrklf,

Uh. Didn’t know they did that, I only knew the sauce.

brsrklf,

No, I mean, I am in Europe, I had Tonic Trouble Crunch Edition.

We do get Newman’s sauce here, but I don’t remember seeing the other products.

brsrklf,

You know how high was MK8D in last month’s top e-shop downloads? Third.

I don’t think it ever dropped below fifth (and even that only for months with a bunch of huge releases) and it’s been very often first or second.

I love the game, but I just don’t understand how this is possible. Like, at some point, everyone mildly interested in getting it should have it…?

brsrklf,

Sure, but since the advent of digital media I wouldn’t assume someone went full Stalinian propaganda to fabricate that picture. Though I think I would respect that effort, in a way.

brsrklf,

I don’t know. Even if the outcome is just that the implant just stop working, with no other issue, it’s looking pretty bad to me.

Since it required literal brain surgery just to be installed, which I assume is already a serious risk, it’s not something you want to potentially be useless.
