While I’m all for dynamic swapping during gameplay, in the menus I suggest an option to disable controller, in case there is a malfunction. Also, to the same problem I’d suggest havinge the mouse cursor to have a) priority, that affects the menu element under the cursor (not the element selected) and b) a fade out time, so it can be active at the same time as controller is active, to prevent the case, where the game detects controller to be drifting. This will be a godsent feature, when, for some reason, even removing the controller does not fix the game detecting the drifting input.

Also, it would be cool to have a manual option to force displayed prompts, not only between keyboard and controller, but also between x-input, Direct-input and PlayStation controllers.

I would so much like to love peertube, but I have yet to find any instance that hosts the trash reevant to my interests. Mostly they either are filled with reuploads from YouTube, or are full of radicalized conspiracy theories (which I encounter very rarely on any other form of fediverse).

And then there is the “dumploads”, which makes the instances seem like they only have one active contributor, as they dump like 60 videos right after another, resulting the frontpages to have just one note content. This, however, could be gixed by otion to group conecutive uploads as “[latest video] and [n] other videos from [user]”, which would help to find more diverse content, as well as discourage dumping.

Then again, that is only my opinion, and if PeerTube is fine for others, who am I to complain. It just doesn’t seem to be for me :/

I personally find it rather infuriating that swapping those is made so difficult, and to this day don’t know who has more usecase for media keys and varied power buttons over function keys.

And the worst thing is, if the upper row defaults as mefia keys, and toggling Fn to be function keys by default, you also toggle numpad to the right side of the keyboard. Don’t get me wrong, I like numpad, but I quite don’t like losing half of my keyboard, because keyboard manufacturers don’t know what keys should be behind the Fn.

Dark souls, but instead of estus flasks, you watch ads.

Now the question is: Will this have the lifespan closer to Stadia, or Google+

Well, if you avoid the games with ads, it reflects poorly on profits, and maybe someone might mention to the shareholders that the reason people won’t play their game is the invasive ads.

The reason why they still have their poopy launcher is that people adapted them, because tolerating the launcher was the requirement for them to (legally) play their games. Putting games behind a launcher did not teduce the profits enough to not continue doing so.

So yes, the way to combat this is to avoid their games thst implement ads.

There is also “Owncast”, but it seems to suffer from the same issue that peertube does; there is no integrated revenue system for the streamer, so there is little reason to put effort in to the quality, as well as it being fairly unknown, so even if you set up donos etc. the audience isn’t there.

The discoverability don’t help, since there isn’t really s good way to filter out all the “24/7 radio” -streams, so even if you actively follow the frontpage, or a category, you have to skim trough them manually. Also, there is no proper language filter (at least if you don’t have an account), and it seems it’s more popular with non-english speaking streamers.

Where doed WPS office source it’s ads? I mean, if you run it in a (more or less) sandbox (well, you might want to have access to the files you’re editing), and without access to internet, how does the ad interface behave?

Considering that the term “computer engineering” was created by a woman, programming is based on maths solved by a woman, and the push for graphics in adventure games was started by a woman, I don’t think PC Gamers list is worth even checking, as I know that many notable leaps in gaming I don’t know about have since been pushed by women.

Considering that Steam now requires for manual input for the prices for different regions, is there a tool that a) lists these regions and b) calculates the median suggested pricing for these regions in comparison to the region you (the developer) is based in?

I know an excel sheet would probably be a good start, but considering that therevare also developers in regions other than EU (€) and US ($), it would be a tremendous help to be able to input a price you have in mind, in your own currency, and have the prices calculated in other currencies in the respective regions.

I’d put the Kung Fury -crew on that, but considering the size of Sega, they probably want something family friendly and sanitized, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I guess someone atr the cable, or something.

The funny thing is that as far as I know, the majority of the “I wanna be…” -games are made with a software called “Click & Create”, which is basically a “no programming needed” visual game editor.

Sure, it had it’s quirks, but it’s a super simple editor. Also. Although the current version of the editor is “Multimedia fusion”, as far as I know.

I want to like peertube, but the discoverability is terrible, and last I checked, it was pushing mostly cinspiracy theories. And every time I try to see around, it’s just impossible to find an instance that would host interesting videos. Also, I find hopping around instances feels awkward.

Also, it seems to consist of “video dumps”, resulting the instances having the “new” videos being hundreds of videos posted by just one user. It’s just… not there for me, eben though I love the idea :/

Well, that would mean declining sales when the date of disconnect nears. EA does not want that, thus not telling the games go offline the next day provides more money in their eyes. EA does not care about the customer experience, they care about the money they can sqeeze out of the customer.

Maybe it’s some sort of mental gymnastics that “If you can’t get some dick, you must become a dick”.

I mean that Denuvo WILL cause performance drops, and if said malware needs to be cracked and removed in order to emulate it, it means the emulators don’t have to bother emulating the built-in malware, and can instead use more resources to run the game. Even better than currently.

And will any of this help with piracy? Well, the average user will no longer be able to backup the official version, and you’d be breaking the law anyways, if you cracked it, so there is “no extra harm” skipping the part where you buy the official version, instead of just downloading the already cracked version. Sure, you risk getting malware, but with the official one you are sure to get malware.

[EDIT]: Let’s add: I don’t advocate for piracy, but if piracy is more convinient that the official route, it’s what will drive those who don’t mond pirating stuff.

I waas on the fence on getting a Switch, now that the price has dropped, but “Switch 2” has been rumored. I guess I won’t be getting a Switch then. Or whatever the next console will be.

I wonder if some games will perform better emulated, as the emulation would not need to put resources in to running Denuvo.

If I’m not mistaken, the preference was to be able to subscribe to the community, as you see it on your feed, as you resonate with the content posted alongside the core implication of the community. Going to another website to search said instance just to subscribe,is much MORE work, than 3 clicks.

Quite precisely. This of course would cause a “bubble”, but would also preserve their unhinged posts for the media to highlight.

And if they come to something like mastodon.social, many will mix up human right violations as “just your everyday political opinions”, and get the boot, so it’s more handier for them, as a party, to curate what the party represents.
