  • Dev says "false DMCA" from Microsoft got their sandbox game removed from Steam over apparent Minecraft copyright, all because of a screenshot of birch trees

    Jump

  • Minecraft copyright doesn’t cover the entire genre of block-based sandbox pixel art games. Minecraft isn’t even the first in that genre, even if it’s the most popular by a wide margin.

    Unless Microsoft can prove that one of the textures started by copying a Minecraft texture, or that substantial bits of code are copied from Minecraft, there is no claim.

  • Are gender-exclusive groups ever ok?

    Jump

  • My anecdotal 2 cents:

    I was in boyscouts and I think it was a space to develop positive masculinity, and to learn things by looking up to older boys who had been through the same experience. I think girls being present would have changed the dynamic, because teenage boys act differently and talk about different things when around teenage girls.

    Now that being said I’m certain not everyone in boyscouts developed positive masculinity. Boyscouts is far, far less uniform than people seem to think. There were 2 troops in my home town that were wildly different.

    But at least from my anecdotal experience, Boyscouts was a good thing that benefitted from being a boys-only experience, and I wonder how it has changed now that girls can join boyscout troops.

  • I’ve tried a few TCGs (Pokémon, Yu Gi Oh, Magic, and virtual ones like Gwent, Hearthstone, and Runeterra).

    Magic remains my favorite by far and is the one I keep coming back to most consistently.

  • Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)

    Jump

  • Plenty of Steam games are DRM free and will launch just fine without Steam installed

  • I too prefer to buy from GoG, but I often add my GoG games to be launched through Steam as non-Steam games so I can take advantage of features like Proton and Steam Input.

    If I want to take advantage of certain features Steam only offers to games you buy through them, I will buy through Steam instead of GoG. Usually when I do this it’s for multiplayer or save file syncing reasons.

    Steam features you can use with non-Steam games:

    • provides SteamInput which allows me to use any game controller in any game with a lot of configuration options. It’s the best tool for that purpose I’ve ever seen.
    • provides Proton for playing Windows games on Linux (and I do 99% of my gaming on Linux these days)
    • provides VR headset drivers and tools for using different VR headsets with games not designed for them
    • provides a TV and controller optimized interface (“Big Picture” mode)

    Steam features exclusive to Steam games:

    • updates games automatically
    • backs up my saves and syncs them across devices
    • provides multiplayer server infrastructure making it easy to play with friends
    • provides modding infrastructure, although not all games use it
    • provides tools for managing which version of a game you have installed

  • Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?

    Jump

  • I picked up a GameCube at a convention a few years ago for $100 and bought a few games I missed out on as a kid. The pricing on the games is worse than the console (unless the game is niche, then it’s dirt cheap). I like the physicality of collecting the disks and using the console itself. I’ve always preferred buying cartridge over digital when possible.

  • There are companies that sell parts to repair and sometimes upgrade old devices. Sometimes local retro game stores will service your devices for you.

  • The term “Artificial Intelligence” has historically been used by computer scientists to refer to any “decision making” program of any complexity, even something extremely simple, like solving a maze by following the left wall.
