spriteblood,

Same. Apparently it's already out on iOS? But I'm more interested in playing with a controller.

spriteblood,

Can you ELI5 Deezer abd FunkWhale, and how they replace what Spotify is offering?

spriteblood,

How is Trump not the embodiment of Christian values? Last time I checked, the Bible didn't have any kind of rules about adultery, coveting, stealing, bearing false witness, or having graven images of yourself worshipped by a cult-like fanbase.

And I guarantee you I can go toe-to-toe with the majority of these Christians on Bible knowledge and the teachings of Jesus.

spriteblood,

FWIW I believe Mario Galaxy was recompiled for Switch with only some parts being handled via emulation, so it likely isn't just a broad drop-in solution for any game. Though I do wonder if they did something similar for Pikmin and Metroid Prime

spriteblood,

Also not to be a Deborah P. Downington but whenever I see URLs advertised where I'm not expecting them, my first instinct is "Eww, spam" and very much not "I should go to that URL because it might be a good reddit alternative"

What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...

spriteblood,

Don't Starve but more Animal Crossing. Lot more casual vibes and cozy customization, but the creepy aspects leaning more into survival horror.

spriteblood,

I was thinking more like Silent Hill, except I can find any abandoned storefront and turn it into my base. And not just add crafting stuff, but full on furniture and decorations like Raft. Stardew Valley seems very built around the town and the farm IIRC and I want something that could be maybe more randomized like Don't Starve, and then other people could drop in and play like Animal Crossing.

spriteblood,

I like the sabotage but when this was announced I 100% assumed it was an attempt to boost engagement numbers as they approach their IPO, and looks like it's working for that.

spriteblood,

I just wish the competition gave any attention to Linux support. GOG Galaxy has been out idk how long, they sell Linux games, and still not even a launcher.

Miyamoto wonders why Pikmin hasn't sold more and why people think the games are difficult (nintendoeverything.com)

Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they’re always changing things to appeal to people who don’t play games while in return...

spriteblood,

Yeah it's a common complaint of Majora's Mask, too, even though it's less of a time limit and more of a timeline that you repeat over and over. It's just that extra mental barrier for people to deal with, that seems like it affects some people more.

I hear the time limit isn't in Pikmin 4 though?

spriteblood,

How do games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and some of the Super Mario platformers with timers fit into this? I ask because they're more on the casual side of the spectrum compared to something like Zelda.

spriteblood,

Statista says:

In 2022, Amazon's total consolidated net sales revenue amounted to 514 billion U.S. dollars

Their part of the fine is about $56.7 million, making it about 0.01% of that amount.

In US minimum wage terms, that's working full time for a year and then having to pay about $1.50.

What do you consider "good performance" of a game on the deck?

Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is “working great” or “perfectly”. I believe I’m in the minority, but I just can’t enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it’s because I’m used to playing mainly on PC....

spriteblood,

I have different expectations for different games. Generally I want the battery life around the 3 hour mark, though; if it can't hit that, I don't really want to play it on Deck.

I prioritize framerate over graphics 100% of the time. If a game hits 60FPS but I have to drop all the graphics settings to Low, that's a W for me. For AAA stuff, I'll do 30FPS if I don't have to drop the resolution too much, and if that 30 is STABLE.

spriteblood,

It specifies it's from the app, so they have access through the native functionality for that. When you go to install it, it lists the data it accesses, and by downloading and using it, that's how they are given permission.

Protip: Don't use the app

spriteblood,

I just finished Dredge, and that seems to be a good recommendation for this. You have these simple objectives - find a specific fish, transport package A to island B, dredge up sunken treasure, etc. It works on this system of rest when you dock at islands, and days are very short. It's very easy to play for a few minutes, dock at an island, and save/quit.

Musk claims Meta hired dozens of Twitter employees to build Threads. (www.law360.com)

A top lawyer for Twitter owner Elon Musk says the platform has “serious concerns” that Facebook parent Meta hired “dozens of former Twitter employees” in order to build its new “copycat” Threads app — accusations that Meta denies....

spriteblood,

Don't forget:

1.5. Spend a fair amount of time mocking the people you fired across interviews and social media, and suggesting their work/abilities have no value

He spent plenty of time on thr "Fuck around" path, and is unhappy where it leads.

Also I think the Meta stance is that Threads doesn't have any former Twitter employees on staff, but who knows if that's true.

spriteblood,

I've been really impressed with Mastodon so far, and I hope more Twitter refugees join over time.

spriteblood,

Now, are these "Experts" in the room with us right now? How long have they been talking to you?

spriteblood,

Whoosh

spriteblood,

Most of the games I like to play on Deck have to target the 3-4 hours as my "Sweet Spot" so most of these will fall in there:

  • Dredge

Dredge is billed as a cosmic horror fishing game, and it is super engaging, and works great with gamepad controls. I played through the entire thing on Steam Deck. I think I lowered some graphics settings to hit the sweet spot but it wasn't any kind of extreme compromise due to the game's low poly art style.

  • The Messenger

You're a ninja who gets sent on an adventure to defeat the demons who attacked your village. There's some gameplay and story twists I don't want to spoil, but even outside of that it's a fun game with good platforming, new abilities, and boss battles. And it's got a great sense of humor

  • 3DS games

I don't think I've played any that don't offer at least 3+ hours. My go-to is Mario Kart 7, but pretty much anything in Citra is cool. My 3DS battery died out so I can only play tethered to the charger, so it's nice to have an alternative - plus you can upscale them to 720p and play them in HD. Lots of fun!

  • Hades

I really dislike most roguelike games, to the point that I lose hype now when I hear a cool indie game is one. Hades is one of the handful of exceptions for me. Combat feels very fluid and responsive, the visuals are gorgeous, and it sips battery.

A lot of people say they like the story and characters, though I'm not really clicking with it. But I haven't finished it yet so maybe I'm just not at the cool story stuff yet? Either way, I'm enjoying myself quite a bit.

spriteblood,

Mint for my desktop, SteamOS on Deck. Both do what I need, and the only issues I've run into since switching have been random things like GOG not having an updated Planescape Torment build that works out of the box. I don't play many online competitive games with like invasive anti-cheat stuff, so I haven't run into a ton of compatibility issues.

spriteblood,

Facebook is also a big gathering place for white supremacists, anti-LGBT, and other conservative extremists. It's largely where the US Capitol insurrection was organized. Meta is no stranger to fascism.

spriteblood,

Watch Bender's Big Score. There's some continuity. No spoilers.

spriteblood,

Nein, wahrscheinlich schwedisch
