I will try pokerTH now, they even have a linux app.

sexy_peach OP ,

It doesn’t have enough people online…

Sibbo , in online poker like lichess.org

You mean poker without real money? Because there are a lot of gambling sites, I would believe that some of them also offer poker. But please, there are better things to do with your money. You could donate it for example.

sexy_peach OP ,

Nooo without money of course

This is great news. More please.

azerial , in Bethesda Game Studios has unionized!

Woohoo!! This awesome! As a game dev, I can speak to how awful the industry can be. That’s really great news that they unionized. 🙌

Cube6392 ,

The rest of us computer engineers should show solidarity by also unionizing. We’re stronger together

Ashen44 , in New game announced: Orcs Must Die: Deathtrap

hell yeah! OMD is such a good series, I’m so ready for this!

perishthethought OP ,

4 player co-op will be a treat, especially if they can find a way to keep the servers online longer, or just let us host our own servers for once.

Ashen44 ,

Wish I had anyone to play co-op with lmao T_T

Super excited for the improved physics though! The physics traps were always my favourite and it sucked that they were almost never the optimal choice.

perishthethought OP ,

For about 30 seconds I toyed with the idea of setting up a Lemmy community, just for co-op game finding for fans, but I don’t think there are enough people here really. We’ll see how much interest there is as the game’s launch gets closer.

I miss OMD: Unchained. 😔

perishthethought OP ,

I completely spaced on that game, somehow. Wish I hadn’t, for sure.

Kwakigra , in Bethesda Game Studios has unionized!

Bethesda has needed a lot more humanity for a long time.

Too bad it happened only after the competent staff was gone.

blindsight , in For a belated celebration of Tetris' 40th birthday, here's a highly partisan look back at Tetris DS

I had completely forgotten about the quest mode and tetronimo ball mode.

I’ve long-ago lost (or sold, maybe?) all my original DS stuff, but it’s nice how cheap and easy it is to buy a used DSi/DS Lite and then get a flash cart or soft mod. I should pull it out and play it again. Highly recommended as a console; the DS has lots of timeless games.

People who love Tetris are akin to people who love Rubik’s cubes. Not something I ever really was interested in getting into, but I respect the craft.

@alyaza Awesome. Now can their devs own the code they write off the clock? Someone who works at Bethesda told me they don't.

Truck_kun , in New game announced: Orcs Must Die: Deathtrap

Can’t say I’ve ever been any good at it, but I do love me a good tower defense.

Haven’t played since OMD2, and could never get anyone else to play, but love the series. Glad to see it continuing.

Fantastic news for the devs!

__init__ , in For a belated celebration of Tetris' 40th birthday, here's a highly partisan look back at Tetris DS

Still the best Tetris. I played thousands of 1v1 online matches back in the day. Haven’t seen anything quite like push mode since.

thatsTheCatch , in online poker like lichess.org

I recently started learning and playing poker, and I mostly play with fake money. Here’s what I’ve used so far:

Pokerstars and GGPoker both have fake money options that you can play without depositing money. I used Pokerstars for a while as it was the only client I could get working on Linux (using bottles). They both have good mobile apps. I prefer GGPoker’s interface so I’ve been using my Windows dual boot to play that when I want to on my computer.

Poker Brawl is a phone app where you can play correspondence heads-up poker with an ELO rating system. It’s correspondence , so you only have to make a move once every three days. It’s heads-up only, though.

I’ve found playing on real poker platforms with fake money to be best in terms of somewhat emulating real poker in terms of player behavior.

Feel free to comment with any questions and I’ll try to help

I heard online poker is dead and AI killed it.

A friend of mine was an avid online poker player. He says the AI systems beat humans all the time, and that the platforms countered with AI AI detection systems which allow for a maximum tolerance of winning hands that is considered human level. As a response, players using AI systems added deliberate error rates to hide from the detection.

Game’s basically broken. Sorry.

sexy_peach OP ,

Wait why would anyone bot games that are for worthless chips?

Pudutr0n ,
@Pudutr0n@feddit.cl avatar

If they’re worthless then, why play at all? If they are scarce, convey any kind of status on the platform or unlock anything at all, then i assure you there will be someone gaming the system.

Poker requires gambling something with at least symbolic value, or else people don’t care about winning or losing hands and just go all in recklessly all the time.

sexy_peach OP ,

If they’re worthless then, why play at all?

For fun?

The game breaks if everyone has infinite chips or they have no value at all.
