They should have been forced to do it the other way. “You advertise as free, so you have to provide this for free.”

A game is called a boomer shooter based on several criteria. Usually they’re first person. Does that mean a third person shooter can’t be a “boomer shooter”? No.

Quake III is just one game that boomer shooters are based on. Doom (1993) is a game that boomer shooters are based on too. Neither one is a boomer shooter itself. A Boomer Shooter is a modern creation meant to replicate past play style, video style, and audio style too… It’s more than just “pixelated/voxelated…”

You started by asking the definition of boomer shooter, which I responded to. Then you added the fact Doom 3 came out in 2005. Since your context was, “what’s the definition of a boomer shooter.” I responded to that.

Maybe next time frame your question better to get the information you’re looking for?

Warhammer 40k Boltgun

I’m providing a best guess on that. I may be wrong. Who knows maybe it’ll be “xtxt” or xt^2 pronounced “extasy.”

Nope, regret to inform you it was written by a human. Was this commented by an AI?

Each one of the graphics in the article is linked to a demo of a boomer shooter with a female protagonist. I even mention a few in the article. I talk about female leads, and then apply them to boomer shooters. I didn’t think it would be that unusual…

This definitely gives you one.

Having never played BPM, I have no way of knowing. If you click on the first picture in the article it’ll connect you to gameplay footage.

They ARE amusing.

@MrEUser@lemmy.ninja avatar

As I haven’t seen the Steam Store page for BoltGun switch from Unsupported to Playable I would assume that is what was meant.

MrEUser OP ,
@MrEUser@lemmy.ninja avatar

Okay, the cowards that downvote without any kind of explanation have made it clear… I won’t post any more articles.

Now I know to go back and look for Easter Egg levels. Thanks.

I beat Myst in 19 hours of continuous game play without a guide or the internet. Best? Well, if you intend to beat it, it’ll take a lot of thinking through stories.

Belief is the acceptance of a claim without evidence. There is evidence that Lemmy and Mastodon can, with time, replace their centralized counterparts.

So do I believe it? No. I know it can happen though. Will it happen? Definite maybe. First, all the users that are bunched up on three big servers need to learn the painful lesson of how a federated architecture works. It’s in their best interests to find small instances of lemmy and have accounts there. Why, because all the huge instances of lemmy are having trouble staying functional. Lemmy.world has 87,000 users and an uptime of 97%. That means it experiences 11 days of downtime a year. Almost a day per month. Sh.itjust.works has around 10,000 users and a 99% uptime by comparison (still 3 to 4 days a year of downtime). Many smaller instances have 100% uptime. Look for yourself.

Another thing future users (not users yet) need to stop using as an argument (excuse) is, “but if I have an account on a site and it disappears, I lose my account.” Well, first, that’s true of the centralized service you’re using. And don’t talk to me about “too big to fail…” arguments. If there’s one thing Twitter, Reddit, and YoutTube have proven, it’s that you are irrelevant and disposable. They may not vanish, but the long lasting stupid they do for the sake of… I don’t even know what… has led to multiple migrations to distributed environments.

Are distributed environments perfect? No. They ARE improving though. And the fact is, in a distributed environment when one instance enacts something that you don’t feel is in your best interest… You go to another instance. No drama, no fanfare… just move.

What you just said is the literal opposite of what the fediverse is. The fediverse is NOT social media.

Gaming often fetishises the new but many great things exist in the past, so let's strap into our time machines and talk about our favourite games released before say 2010?

Just as with books, movies, plays etc the past holds a treasure trove of amazing experiences. Unless you have a lot more free time than I do it’s unlikely you’ve played anywhere near the majority of the classics. Let’s get out those pink sunnies and compare notes on some of our favourite releases....

My response to this will look like a who’s who of Dreamcast games. The Dreamcast was the first console I bought myself, so I have lots of fond memories.

  • Soulcalibur I & II
  • Sega NFL 2K1 (and I was NOT a sports game person)
  • Shenmue I & II
  • Jet Set Radio
  • Phantasy Star On-Line
  • Quake III arena
  • Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
  • Hydro Thunder
  • Fur Fighters

For reference, the same is true of all the tapes made for the ZX Spectrum. They would all fit on a single 2GB SD card (not even SDHC).

I’m going to tell you a secret…. Yes.

All those things could happen. Some people could run a site that has ads. Some people could run a site that charges a membership. Some sites could have a Patreon membership. Some sites could do subscriptions….

And some sites could be completely free.

The funny thing is, because of the federation, no one will be harmed. Let’s say I startup a site and all I do is pass through the cost of the site to each user. No profit, just what it costs to maintain the server is shared among the members.

Is that unreasonable?

MrEUser ,
@MrEUser@lemmy.ninja avatar

Yeah, that’s not how the math works. Cost of server + cost of maintaining = X. Divide X by the number of users. Example, my time is worth $60 an hour. I spend two hours a week working on the server ($120). I spend $30 a month on the server rental. $150. I have 20 users. $150/20 is $7.50…

MrEUser ,
@MrEUser@lemmy.ninja avatar

Agreed. But I wouldn’t say you get nothing out of being a member on Patreon. I run lemmy.ninja. If I had a paying customer (Patreon) ask for something, and I had a non paying user ask for something…

Who do you suppose gets my time first? Now, it may be that I have to tell the paying customer that what they are asking for is only possible if code is changed. In that case I can put a request in on their behalf. However if it is a thing I CAN do, then my time goes to them first, right?

@MrEUser@lemmy.ninja avatar

Right up until Twitter shut everything off unless you were logged in and throttled you if you are logged in I’d have agreed with you… YouTube is preventing you from watching YouTube if they decide they can’t advertise at you… The point is, big social media has come up with creative ways to make using their service miserable if not impossible. Even reddit is doing it right? I find your assessment of possible versus likely incomplete at best.
