Focal@pawb.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia is resilient because it is boringEnglish1·1 month agoNah, no worries. As you said yourself, the first case is probably easy to find… And besides, the series is so old at this point, it’s entirely on me for not having played it yet. I’ve owned them since the PS Vita days. I just straight up haven’t prioritised it yet.
Focal@pawb.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia is resilient because it is boringEnglish2·1 month agoI agree here. I’m looking forward to playing these games myself, but I didn’t even consider it being a possible spoiler before the other person mentioned it.
I recently replayed Metal Gear Rising, and when Armstrong kept talking about how much of a pussy America has become and started yelling that with him at the helm, he’d MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, I was fucking shocked.
Granted, I know that term was an old Reagan term, but fuck, with Metal Gear Solid 2 (2001) being all about the internet flooding with misinformation and AI making it so that you don’t truly know who you’re talking with… And with Rising (2013) being about a dude thinking America is too woke and wanting to make it great again… AND WITH DEATH STRANDING (2019) being all about everyone being locked inside their homes, isolated with little physical connection to their friends and families, only waiting for the mailman to arrive with packages…
Whew, if I had to point out a person I suspect may have a functioning time machine, Kojima might be it…
Focal@pawb.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Ubisoft CEO responds to the Stop Killing Games petition, stating the publisher is 'working on' improving its approach to end-of-life support, but that 'nothing is eternal'2·3 months agoCompletely agree! It makes for a game that’s still super healthy to this day, and I love that
Focal@pawb.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Ubisoft CEO responds to the Stop Killing Games petition, stating the publisher is 'working on' improving its approach to end-of-life support, but that 'nothing is eternal'21·3 months agoParaphrasing from Frost here; It’s the “stop killing games” movement, Yves. It’s not the “stop games from dying”-movement.
It’s fine if you no longer want to support a game, but you can still make it available offline if you have a lan. Trackmania is a good example, since ubi now owns that. The original is still being played in lans the world over!
So yeah, fuck you, Ubi. It’s a choice to be like this.
Focal@pawb.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst online community, that isn't Reddit, that you know about and all should avoid?21·4 months agoI’m gonna say FunnyJunk. It’s mostly right wing memes and downvotes if you say anything close to “I don’t think this Trump gut has it all figured out”
I’ve started using Nobara recently, and I like it a LOT. Makes it really easy for a noob like me to both play games and edit videos. I actually made a Monster Hunter video entirely in Linux with Davinci Resolve, and it worked really well. I’ve been an adobe tool my entire editing life, but I really like the switch I recently made :)
Focal@pawb.socialto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Does a game key card cart have to be in the Switch to play the game or is it not needed after the game has been redeemed?English1·4 months agoThanks. I had hoped it’d be the cart itself
Focal@pawb.socialto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Does a game key card cart have to be in the Switch to play the game or is it not needed after the game has been redeemed?English1·4 months agoDoes it write to the card, or does it just write to your storage?
Focal@pawb.socialto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•PC Gaming’s Mascot Squad—who makes the cut?English2·4 months agoTo me, it has to be Gordon Freeman. He represents Valve, and I can’t think of a gaming company more linked to PC gaming than Valve.
I adore king’s quest, space quest and all these classics. Same with Monkey Island, but when it comes to… Well, mascot sounds wrong. Figurehead may be better here, I think Gordon’s ties to Valve gives him a pretty strong case for PC gaming icon.
The goose from untitled goose game doesn’t feel like a PC gaming mascot to me since it’s a single game that’s also on almost every console.
Focal@pawb.socialto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•How to Game on Linux - Roger Presents Garuda [Swedish with EN subs]English1·5 months agoAye, alright fair enough.
I won’t argue with you.
Focal@pawb.socialto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•How to Game on Linux - Roger Presents Garuda [Swedish with EN subs]English41·5 months agoThat’s a bit reductive, don’t you think?
The beauty of Linux is its wonderful ability to be customized. Maybe Xanmod is a good kernel for you if you play games?
Maybe if you use a desktop environment with Wayland, you’ll have less issues with screen sharing in Discord.
It’s always nice to hear what other people’s experiences are. Depending on the distro, updating drivers can be a bit trickier than noobs might expect since “Driver manager” might not actually have the newest drivers, etc.
Telling people to RTFM is all well and good, but why not share the stuff you’ve learned with others who are just getting started?
Focal@pawb.socialto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•How to Game on Linux - Roger Presents Garuda [Swedish with EN subs]English72·5 months agoHow to get performance boosts through the newest drivers. How to play games and streaming them on discord without tanking the framerate. How to troubleshoot if something goes wrong. Which kernel to use, etc.
There are so many Nuances to gaming on Linux, so there’s definitely a market for it. Not seen this video yet though, could be just surface level stuff.
Focal@pawb.socialOPto Linux@lemmy.world•Getting ready to switch to Linux full timeEnglish1·7 months agoThank you very much! I appreciate it
Focal@pawb.socialOPto Linux@lemmy.world•Getting ready to switch to Linux full timeEnglish2·7 months agoI was thinking of following a previous comment’s suggestion to install Linux first so it owns the bootloader, and then installing windows later
Focal@pawb.socialOPto Linux@lemmy.world•Getting ready to switch to Linux full timeEnglish2·7 months agoGood point! Thank you!
Focal@pawb.socialOPto Linux@lemmy.world•Getting ready to switch to Linux full timeEnglish1·7 months agoNice! Thanks
Oh man. Roberta Williams well and truly is a veritable legend in the field. Mad respect for her. I hope she gets enough to get treatment (though I hate that she has to)
