Isn’t the entire point of the newer versions of Windows just to force the engagement with applications you normally wouldn’t use?

@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

I just started dual booting to see what Linux could do nowadays. And yes, there’s a few games I have trouble playing, but it’s mostly games like Subnautica that gives me trouble. And in all honesty, that game barely works in Windows as it is.

I haven’t had problems with anti-cheats at all. Like, Helldivers 2 runs as well on Linux as in Windows.

Well, they aren’t alone. Blizzard and Activision is on my blacklist. As well as pretty much any studio own by Microsoft at this point… Oh, and Sony! Can’t forget about them.

The list is long.

Meh, there’s a ton of songs written strictly from female perspectives or with a female audience in mind. From Peggy Lee to the Spice Girls and so on.

I feel like they apply as “Girl Songs”.

Speaking of Heavy Metal and Natalie Imbruglia. I really liked Steve Welsh’s “If Korn wrote Torn”

Being insecure isn’t teenager exclusive, I guess.

I think OP is just asking the age-old question of “what is you guilty pleasure pop-song”. Just very poorly worded. I’m not gonna hold that against 'em.

Just started up ‘Oxenfree: Lost Signals’.

Loved the first game. Let’s see if the sequel can match it. 😊

Faydaikin ,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Well, just finished it.

And although it didn’t match the first game, it’s still a nice chill game in the same vain as the first. Same feeling and all that.

As suspected, it’s tough to attempt a continuation of the first story. They dipped a bit much into a few themes that really didn’t seem to fit very well and there’s a distinct lack of interaction with other NPCs. There’s a few random characters you talk to over the radio, but not anything that has any impact on anything.

So it’s a fine enough game if you just want a bit more of the Oxenfree flavor, but don’t expect too much from it.

I’m gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say that OP might be from the USA.

This is sadly very standard right-wing stuff. OP actually thinks he’s being funny and “totally owning the libs”.

I think MS expressed interest in the idea. But I doubt even they saw it as an actual possibility.

What is Valve’s latest game?

I honestly thought the Assasins Creed games had run their course a while ago.

Overall, a cruel and short-sighted move from Microsoft

That depends on who and how many they decide to merge into other developer teams and who is let go.

I mean, I doubt most MS higher-ups would know talent if you threw it at them. But whenever there’s big acquisitions, there’s gonna be some house cleaning. So who gets to stay (if they want to) is likely down to last things they have produced.

Redfalls team is done for sure. But Tango Works I don’t know… I can imagine overseas based companies are a more tricky beast to handle. So that’s probably down to some cost/benefit analysis if they go or stay.

Faydaikin ,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Agreed. It’s sadly often the demands of the higher-ups reflects poorly on the guys who has to implement it.

I don’t know any of the Creative Directors on Redfall (or who else might have poked their head in with bright ideas).

Faydaikin ,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

From what I just skimmed on Twitter, it sounds like the Tango Team is already working on making a new studio.

So they had a bit of a heads-up at least, it would seem.

I gotta go with the NES. It’s the only console I ever owned, so…

When they released the mini-nes I snagged that little fucker up so fast.

Sounds awesome.

If you’re interested in suggestions, I’d love to hear a remastered version of Dungeon Keepers Track 5.

I think it’s called “The Dungeon Keeper” or “It’s Construction Time” (dependent on game version).

Addendum: Decent 2 - “Crawl” is a sweet tune as well.

So quick question: What is this?

I mean, I can guess that it’s a weird new Facebook thing. But unless it’s also a new Windows thing hardwired into the OS like the Edge/Cortana bullshit, I don’t really care what FB is up to. :/

There is an expiration date for IP. But I have little idea what type it goes under.

I just assume the reason old, barely functional games get the odd 1.3kb update every once in a blue moon is to “refresh” that expiration date.

Faydaikin ,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

I too would like more on-point classifications.

Like, we got 3 big classifications ARPG, CRPG and JRPG. And I guess that’s nice. But a bit of subclassification would go a long way, imo.

Now if only publishers would use these labels. But to them everything is just an RPG, because that’s an umbella everything fits under.

Faydaikin ,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

In that case, why bother to label them at all?

Let every purchase be a gamble.

I’m just saying thank the gods for Screenshots, ‘Let’s Players’. because labeling everything as just “RPG” is the same as just labeling every type of meat as just “Meat” and graphics cards as just “Graphics Card” in closed packaging with only the companies names to differentiate.

I like specifications on the products I might be buying.

Diplomacy is usually the way to go.

I realize that this is a foreign concept for Americans, but yes. The stopping of trade or even the threat of such, is a powerful tool indeed. And there is so many options within that concept that doesn’t involve arming every man, woman and child to the teeth and just letting them go at each other until something is resolved.

Because looking at the countries that encourage such, we see that things just tend to get even more complicated. More complicated and more violent.

Game designer created a Playdate game to pop the question to the love of his life (beehaw.org)

Game designer Aaron (Pikaaroon) today showcased how he built a game to propose to his partner. Having previously worked on Sea of Thieves and Warcraft III: Reforged, he’s no stranger to creating colossal playable experiences. For this incredibly important moment in his life, though, he chose to work with the Playdate. Which I...

Not the most flattering examples they pulled up of games he’s worked on.

One was a failed overhaul and the other got criticized for not having anything to do when it came out.

Cube (1997) It’s a great little film and a bit of a mindfuck.

Without having seen the series I’m guessing yours is probably the most accurate descriptor I’ve seen so far.

Whenever it comes to fandoms like this, the camps are always so divided in extremes. And neither camp is usually correct.

I mean, I saw Twisted Metal season 1 and it was not good by means an “actual reviewer” would stand by. But was it enjoyable? Sure. (Probably more so if I was high while watching it.) Will it be remembered? Not by a long shot.

The Fallout TV Show is likely better than TM, but I doubt it will remembered alongside Breaking Bad, The Sopranos or even Futurama for that matter.

Faydaikin ,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

not so bad that Fallout fans won’t stick with it for butchering the IP.

Todd already beat them to the punch on that account.

Disregarding established lore is a Bethesda specialty. Shouldn’t come as a surprise if the show does it as well.

The ending of the TM season 1 was literally the annoncement of the tournament. XD

Todd isn’t busy fixing anything. Let’s be honest.

There’s enough diehard Bethesda fans that will buy anything he shits out. Even F76 has a playerbase now.

Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like

I'm developing 'Horn of Balance', a 2D zelda-like featuring 12 non-linear dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and a TON of secrets.

Right now, the project is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hornofbalance/horn-of-balance) and we've almost hit the funding goal with just 24 hours left!

There's also a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738140/Horn_of_Balance/) and Itch.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

Probably because Valve doesn’t make games anymore. Not on any serious level anyway.

Most of their games are old as hell, and most of them where in the “proof of concept” relm. They only really made games to push the technology they were working with.

It’d be a poor argument to bring up their old catalog of games from 20 years ago as something that made them a worse company today.

I think that, regardless of brand, most users just want the most basic (almost blank slate) OS that can run the programs they choose to install.

And that is close to, if not completely, impossible to get if you don’t have a mind for Linux.
