  • Space Marine 2 rejects Denuvo and DRM with a concise and simple "no"

    Jump

  • This seems really promising. Unfortunately, I expect they'll still use Steam DRM, but everything I've heard so far is immensely promising so who know, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll skip even that.

  • Thats what happens when you have algorithms promote content based on click-through rate and engagement metrics. Creators have to use click-bait and sensationalism to get their content to spread. Its common knowledge at this point. I can't think of any sizable creators that don't use this, and generally the more they abuse it, the larger the channel.

  • World’s highways could host 52.3 billion solar panels, say researchers

    Jump

  • In comparison to extinction? Yes. In comparison to every other green option including other implementions of solar? No.

  • Patreon will have to use Apple's in-app purchase system or be removed from the App Store

    Jump

  • From my understanding, thats also very much not allowed on the app store, and is something they check for.

  • Valve unintentionally set the stage for today's digital economic hellscape, according to its former economist in residence

    Jump

  • It is worth noting that unlike something like a League or Overwatch skin, and even a lot of early TF2 trading, modern CS and Dota skins have more emphasis put on their marketability and speculative value. For example, I've bought a few CS skins that I don't use, purely because I expect their value to increase over the next couple years. Of course, thats not all of the buyers, but that influences the purchase, and allows for those valuations unlike a Fortnite skin with a fixed price tag set by Epic with zero recoupable value.

  • Indie developer behind 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rated shipbuilder argues that Steam's "free advertising" is worth the 30% cut

    Jump

  • Just a few days ago, I wrote a comment about how you would theoretically try and become a significant competitor to Steam, and one of the points I raised was that Steam's storefront and recommendations are very generous (compared to others). It makes a huge difference that even indie games can appear on the front page regularly, both improving user and dev experiences. Players find games that they enjoy, while devs pay a very small amount to get effective, targetted advertisements.

  • Jeff the Land Shark: Four-Legged Friend | Character Reveal Teaser | Marvel Rivals

    Jump

  • What do you mean still? So far as I can tell, its not even available for pre-order yet. Its purely closed beta for media.

  • Minecraft players outraged as Microsoft deletes accounts that weren't transitioned

    Jump

  • Personally, Im more of a creative-mode player at the moment so the majority of the problems don't affect me. Its also been a couple months since I last tried Minetest (mostly on Mineclone). From what I remember, my personal dealbreakers were:

    • IMO much uglier graphics, and more significantly, its harder to graphically customize with mods and resource packs. Maybe its more versitile than I'm giving it credit for, but at the very least, its not used as there aren't enough modders and artists making content for the game to even remotely compete.
    • Performance - Minecraft may not be optimized, but I was getting much worse performance on Minetest. In particular, I was getting massive frame drops any time I placed or broke a block, making it extremely nauseating to play.
    • UX - There were a ton of small roadblocks to actually playing the game as I wanted to. First, customizing the graphics settings - the menu was disorganized and defaults were really weird for my hardware. Then, I had to find and edit the permissions file to be able to fly and sprint on my creative world. Even after that, if I remember right, the controls or flight movement were limitted or weird but in a way that couldn't easily be fixed.
    • Lack of world editting commands - Im sure theres mods for this one, but its more work to find, figure out, and set up and by the time I got to this point, having to put in even more work just to make the game comparable was a dealbreaker.

  • Minecraft players outraged as Microsoft deletes accounts that weren't transitioned

    Jump

  • Minetest isn't really a substitute for Minecraft. Yes, its similar, but its far less polished, lacking in content, vanilla and otherwise, and is missing a lot of the technical functionality that makes much of Minecraft's content (esspecially on the modding side) possible. Don't get me wrong, I want to like it, and I've debated trying to contibute to it myself (although my skills are very lackluster) but as it stands its only really a substitute in the context of things like casually playing Pocket Edition.

  • What was announced at Summer Games Fest that you are most excited for?

    Jump

  • Anger Foot - I played the demo previously and its the only game I've played that recreates the feel and flow of Hotline Miami successful. Very much looking forward to the full game. I'm temped to buy it at launch, even for full price, which I don't think I've done since XCom 2's War of the Chosen DLC.

    Foreign streamers must pay into fund to boost Canadian content, CRTC says

    Jump

  • Nah, LTT is almost certainly too small of a company to benifit from something like this. They want to help those really in need, like Bell and Rogers.

  • What is skibidi and why is this word everywhere? [Serious]

    Jump

  • Skibidi Toilet is a serious of SFM shorts that became popular with young kids. Think in the same vein as the weird flash videos or early SFM videos that were popular with young kids 10-15 years ago. "Skibidi" doesn't mean anything and is just taken from that.

  • The PC games market grew a lot more than the console games market last year, says research firm

    Jump

  • I woundn't say this is suprising news. Most of the big companies and triple-a studios have been in a race to the bottom in recent years, and these are the main companies marketing and selling to console and mobile users. PC on the other hand, has always been less ruled by the big players and thus hasn't been as impacted.

  • PC gaming getting worse every year

    Jump

  • Yeah. Pretty much boils down to, "There is fewer good triple A games coming out, and less significant hardware advancements." This doesn't mean its getting worse, just means its getting better slower. Even if you read it as "getting worse as compared to other platforms" it doesn't really work seeing as all these issues affect other platforms just as much, and often more.

  • Dead by Daylight | Dungeons & Dragons | Official Trailer

    Jump

  • I just used those two because I figured they'd want iconic D&D monsters, whereas Vecna, esspecially after taking away the godhood and magic elements, is just a fairly generic undead skeleton.

  • Dead by Daylight | Dungeons & Dragons | Official Trailer

    Jump

  • This is such a weird IP to pick, and an even weirder choice of killer. It feels really weird to cram a lich-turned-god into the same gameplay mechanics as a slasher movie killer, esspecially over many more iconic, recognizable, and unique character/monster designs.

    I'm not a D&D fan in the slightest, but I would have thought something like a Mindflayer or some sort of lesser beholder would be more fitting, more inconic to D&D and more distinct from the other DBD killers.

  • Am I the only one who thinks the community is being to hard on the Rabbit R1?

    Jump

  • At least the stuff I've seen is more a criticism of the lack of functionality for the Rabbit, esspecially unique functionality or areas where it excels. The fact that it is basically all able to be contained in one app is viewed as evidence of the relative simplicity, and the fact that (as reviews highlighted) a phone provides a better interaction method compared to the dedicated devices just highlights how unnecessary the hardware is.

    Basically, its competing against phones in functionality, but a phone at that price can do everything it can and better, plus so much more. Even worse when considering everyone also already owns a phone and won't be able to replace with a Rabbit.

  • [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?

    Jump

  • I'm guessing people saw the title and initially assumed it was going to be a low effort shitpost or something. I made that mistake the first time I scrolled past it. I don't thing "Ahoy" was originally in the title either, which can't help.

  • Predator

    Jump

  • Annoyingly, my cat has zero interest in spiders. Any other bug from silverfish to houseflys, she loves to hunt, but not spiders.

    Guess what the one bug I'm afraid of is.
