brsrklf,

I’ve cut a few mods from my active list in my new game, but a lot of those I was using were already updated for 1.5.

Mostly I miss the power tab and a few other useful Owlchemist mods.

brsrklf,

I’ve kind of drifted away from Steam around the Greenlight/Direct debacle, when it quickly went from too tightly curated to an unexplorable paradise for thousands of fake games. Steam is not the inescapable monopoly this weird editorial makes it to be.

Nowadays, I need a good reason to buy on Steam, like decent workshop integration. And even then, I don’t even have to buy on Steam to have that. I bought Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress DRM-free from Ludeon’s site and itch.io and that included Steam key activations too.

Centralised library may have been an argument once, but it has not been for a long time. Stuff like Playnite obfuscates all that launcher explosion crap.

brsrklf,

Honestly, it’s been a very long time since I last used start/windows menu as a… menu I guess. I don’t think I’ve tried to explore it since early XP. Back then I’d even try to organise it a bit by categories and such.

Now I have way too many games to make it readable, with a lot of these not currently installed but available. The only way I’m using the windows menu is with the search bar.

Having a dedicated game library (with everything in it) makes sense to me.

brsrklf,

I did use Gog Galaxy as my main library for a while too. I switched to playnite at one point because it had more options and updates.

brsrklf,

Well, that one was not so much remote and more like hidden in the silly fake automaton thing.

brsrklf,

Long-time casual player of the 8 and 16-bit Compile games (mostly through emulation), I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen a SEGA-developped Puyo for any platform in retail before Puyo Puyo Tetris. Seems like they barely existed at all where I live.

So I’m not sure Puyo Puyo Tetris is to blame for the state of the game, at least it made a lot of people aware that the game exists. Though I can’t say I’m a big fan of its aesthetics or writing…

Nowadays whenever I want to play some quick Puyo I just play Tsu on switch online SNES.

“OMG, those nerds have had 20 full seconds to talk? WRAP IT UP”

(for those who don’t know Game Awards really did this. The few acceptance speeches that were there were very short, and winners were all told to “WRAP IT UP” via teleprompter and cut with music. 11 minutes of them talking in total, for a 3-hour-long show)

‘Mamma Mia!’ Stage Star Sara Poyzer Replaced By AI On BBC Show To Recreate Voice Of Dying Person — Update (deadline.com)

The BBC has issued a statement that offers important context to Sara Poyzer’s viral social media posts. The British broadcaster said it is using AI technology in a “highly sensitive documentary” to represent the voice of a person who is nearing the end of their life....

brsrklf, (edited )

I’m not sure what to think about that.

I’m all for shitting on replacing people with AI, but in this case it’s done with the agreement of the person, who is still able to give it, who can’t talk anymore, and for a documentary. So sure, they could have done it with a voice-over actor, and maybe I’d have preferred it too, but I can’t really say this feels wrong. At this point it feels a bit like Stephen Hawking using his voice synthesis software.

If the person was unable to agree and didn’t write what is being told with “their” voice though? That’d be shit.

brsrklf,

Straight from the article :

“Since using letters seems to be the trend in the industry, we figured that adding a couple of i’s to indie was a fair way to describe this new format. Also, triple-i just sounds cool”

They’re a bit late on the trend though, according to Microsoft and Ubisoft it’s all about Quadruple A now.

brsrklf,

Link’s Awakening (especially the first GB version) is an amazing feat.

They could have made it simple, but they didn’t, they extracted the essence of a Link to the Past (which was really the game that, if not invented, really codified the whole series) and they reproduced the experience as faithfully as they could on an incredibly limited device, just two years after it.

Also, it’s fun, creative as fuck, and has great dungeon design.

brsrklf,

I am surprised the reason for blocking ads doessn’t include making sites somewhat readable. I guess faster loading could be it? But generally it’s more of a layout problem than a bandwidth one.

I tend to not use adblockers, or when I do it’s on a black list system for worst offenders rather than by default. However, I absolutely refuse tracking, and if it’s the only option I go to firefox reader mode immediately.

The usual false dichotomy of “personalised ads or you’re killing us!” is not acceptable.

brsrklf,

Oh, that was the Marvel game from Firaxis?

I was so badly out of the loop, I remember back when basically nothing was known about it and it was talked about in xcom discussion threads, and I was vaguely aware of that Midnight Suns game that bombed, but I didn’t know that was the one.

I imagine with how big XCOM got, just making a X-men-themed XCOM clone should have ensured at least as decent hit. I mean, Ubisoft made it big with a Mario-themed one of all things…

brsrklf,

Good thing part pairing doesn’t exist for the Switch.

Mine is the Ship of Theseus at that point.

brsrklf,

This one was weird, kinda stuck between very dated SNES gameplay rules and a few new F-Zero X mechanics. Not that great honestly.

GP Legend was way better, despite story being butchered to fit the equally butchered anime adaptation. Mechanically, it was a blast to play.

I know there’s a third one on GBA (Climax), but I barely played it. It was late in the GBA’s life, never got an international release and when I tried it didn’t emulate very well. A shame, it looked good too.

Spam is hard. No real platform has solved it completely, and none ever will. Spammers evolve, platforms catch up, spammers evolve again, and so on until the last post is posted and the last user signs out. Individual spam tactics, however, do tend to have short lives, and while PIB won’t be with us forever, it’s notable that...

brsrklf,

industry best practices around content moderation, which [Musk] recently characterized as a “propaganda word for censorship"

Someone please think of the poor scammers and their millions of bots that could be silenced.

brsrklf,

For the bottom of the barrel part of it (not good horror) it’s also probably the easiest reaction you can get.

A jumpscare can be as easy as a sudden full screen gif. Good luck trying to provoke any other kind of feeling like that.

brsrklf,

For a long time I thought I didn’t like Tetris very much. Tetris 99, Tetris Effect and Puyo Puyo Tetris made me reconsider that. Turns out I just needed a push, and now I occasionally spend hours on the stuff, gladly.

I think excluding rhythm games, Tetris must be one of the only game that gets me into “the zone”.

brsrklf,

The only reason gamebryo modding is “easy” is because the community has been working on tools for it for decades.

It uses weird proprietary formats nobody else is using and full of stupid quirks. Back when Morrowind released, officially all Bethesda provided along the construction set was their plugin for a thousand-dollar licenced product to make nif models. Nowadays they don’t even do that anymore because they know people have been making their own free tools for Blender etc.

As for the modding structure itself, other games support a plugin hierarchy like they do. Rimworld in particular, and it runs on Unity.

brsrklf,

The one with 2,061 preinstalled games on it, right? I love Super Mario Bros 43, that’s when the series really took off IMO.

brsrklf,

There is something very wrong if your kid is your brother in genetics.

VPN use should warrant the same privacy concerns. They can tell they respect your privacy all they want, nobody can control that.

And they’ve got a huge incentive to sellling your data.

brsrklf,

Square Enix has been fighting hard for that title lately, I’m sure they can beat that.

brsrklf,

I haven’t played Fights in tight spaces or even heard about it before, and it looks interesting.

But honestly, that fantasy flavour appeals a lot more to me than the look of the first one.

brsrklf,

Avec 3Go, on peut regarder quelques heures de films et documentaires de bonne qualité, ou on peut passer quelques milliers d’heures à lire des complotistes sur Facebook.

C’est l’indicateur le plus débile qu’elle aurait pu choisir pour mesurer le problème.
