Eggyhead,

I installed it on my deck when it first became available. There are probably updates for it at this point. Any word on mods?

Eggyhead,

Yeah. More advertising In random places just magically makes wealth happen! It’s a great wonder of the modern age!

Eggyhead,

59% of sessions are using Xbox controllers
26% are using PlayStation controllers
10% are on Steam Decks

Are other controllers registering as xbox controllers are do people really use them that much?

Eggyhead,

agreed. should be haptics.

Eggyhead,

Omfg that cookie banner is pure cancer.

Eggyhead,

Scrap paper? It isn't propaganda or anything? They're just sending over scrap paper? What the hell are they doing over there?

Eggyhead,

Many of my unplayed games are PC remasters of old console games I played at a younger age. I played the games, I just haven’t played them on steam.

Eggyhead,

Amen.

Eggyhead, (edited )

I bought the original on GCN back in the day because I was attracted to the fantastic design. I had never seen a card-battler before and was really caught off card when I actually started playing. That said, I ended up really enjoying it and have been wanting a remake ever since iPads became a thing.

I think card battler games have come a long way since then, but it’s not bad after you learn it. And it’s nice to have a long, storied RPG to play instead of just rogue likes.

Eggyhead,

But but but… IGN gave it a 10/10!! /s

Eggyhead,

Hey! I represent that remark!

Eggyhead,

They probably used a bunch of it then actually scrutinized the output.

Eggyhead,

Ah, yes. So basically war.

Eggyhead,

What insecurity. Gotta kill people so we can be a nay-shun!

Eggyhead,

A recent Digital Foundry video about the new perfect dark trailer showed a snippet of some game called "Agent 64". I wishlisted it immediately.

Eggyhead,

I disagree. A created character can’t exist in Star Wars beyond the game they are created in. This character has the possibility of appearing in cameos across mediums.

Eggyhead,

Oops. I'm sorry. You're right. Game should totally have allowed people to make their own characters. It was wrong of me to enjoy things you don't.

Eggyhead,

I disagree. Star Wars seems to be doing fine outside of the mainline sequel trilogy. In fact, I’d say it’s the pantheon of secondary and tertiary characters and their stories that redeemed the prequels.

Marvel is fun, but admittedly a bit cramped since everything is kind of bound to earth within a relatively limited span of modern times. Star Wars not so much. Granted, a lot circles around the Skywalker era, but a lot of stories are told that have nothing to do with the skywalkers or anything else you see in the movies. Sometimes they add significance to things we always took for granted, like Rogue One and the acquisition of the Death Star plans.

Am I right to assume you were not a fan of The Mandalorian?

Embracer rolls out new AI policy to 'massively enhance game development' | Game Developer (www.gamedeveloper.com)

Article textNewly-restructured Swedish conglomerate, Embracer Group, will leverage AI models to bolster game production. As noted in Embracer’s annual report, the company has adopted a new AI policy package it claims has the capability to “massively enhance” its production process by “increasing resource efficiency,...

Eggyhead,

I get the sense from how they operate that Embracer Group generally likes the taste of cool aid.

Eggyhead,

100% agree. I imagine most dogs just think their barks are magic and they just want to try it on everything.

However dogs also make a lot more sounds that just barks. Woofs, whines, yips, groans, whimpers, harrumphs…

Eggyhead,

It’s IGN. They probably had this score lined up since the announcement.

Eggyhead,

Bethesda should have put “Mario” or “Zelda” in the title if they wanted better scores from IGN.

Eggyhead,

Dude. She hurls boulders at bad guys in the trailer.

Eggyhead,

Prime is why Nintendo needs to embrace VR.

Eggyhead,

Ah. The game I bought a switch to play, just in time for the following generation.

Eggyhead,

I forgot what the setting was, but the mode with the littlest deadzone/bounding box was the way to go for me. Had the butt of the wiimote rested on my leg for stability and played the game like a joystick aimed at the TV.

Eggyhead, (edited )

Holy shit I did not expect this! This is a game I’ve been intending to buy for switch for some time, but I’m just tired of buying 3rd party games from Nintendo. Steam Deck it is!

Edit: aaaand purchased. One of my favorites from the GameCube era.

Eggyhead,

I teach language. I get paid for my time in front of students, not the time it takes to prepare their lessons and the materials. I use AI to quickly reference grammar rules, to fabricate example dialogs in specific scenarios to practice, and to suggest activities to do in class to practice the target grammar. I never do exactly as it says, just take it as kind of a source of suggestions for me to build from.

Eggyhead,

Well, LLMs are quite literally trained on language, so asking it to simulate a conversation between a hotel clerk and a guest who is upset that they can’t find the hair dryer is pretty much what it’s best at doing.

You can even build the dialogs with students. Have them introduce a scenario for the LLM to manufacture, then have the students suggest variables to apply, such as the clerk being hungry and in a bad mood while the guest is actually drunk after returning from a club in order to see how the language changes, then have the students act it out for laughs.

Eggyhead,

Namely, the fact that Apple charges a "Core Technology Fee" for developers who want to "steer" users to offers outside of its App Store. There's also an additional 3% that goes to Apple if a developer uses its payment processor.

Eggyhead,

Both would be amazing in VR but corporations are stupid.

Eggyhead,

Spencer went on to say that while he personally didn’t like making the decision to close Tango, his job was ultimately to keep Xbox profitable.

Fuck off, Spencer. I can imagine there are other reasons why Xbox is struggling with profitability. Keeping games pass afloat by pushing day-1 releases for one, then spending obscene globs of money to buy exclusivity from massive, globally recognized franchises instead of investing in innovative new studios to foster a stable of great, fresh exclusives in the future.

Just curious, does anyone know which studios bought-out by Microsoft got better after being purchased?

Eggyhead,

because she works harder than the average ccp member.

Eggyhead,

I’d like to get it on PS5, but since my only MH buddy has a vendetta out against Sony, I might have to get it for my steam deck. I don’t really mind, but I hope it runs.

Eggyhead,

Cross play is confirmed? Hot damn! I'm much more inclined to get it on PlayStation if that's the case.

Actually, we played through MHW:IB together on PlayStation. We ended up choosing PC&Deck for a replay of the game because there is a skippable cutscene mod, and he was able to manufacture a clone of my PS character for me using a save manager.

Eggyhead,

VR mode! (Yes I know it’s a lost cause, but I’m going to say it anyway.)

Eggyhead,

Something something liberal agenda something something deep state…

Eggyhead,

It took some time to dig that esper out of the ground, but now that it’s out, I presume we’ll see some significant performance gains.

Eggyhead,

I’d say maybe Kirby’s Dreamland and Kirby’s Dreamland 2 for gameboy, but I actually really enjoyed the mindless simplicity of the whole experience.

Eggyhead,

oh snipes

Eggyhead,

The game is set in Japan. Why did they set the tone using a Chinese Dizi flute? It would be like introducing assassins creed 3 with a didgeridoo.

Why not the shakuhachi?

Eggyhead,

I’d like to see how the switch 2 does before jumping to conclusions.

Eggyhead,

I can imagine the new Astrobot getting a PC port, where you’re still literally using a dualsense controller as part of the game. It’s about the best advertising you can get for your own hardware/legacy.

If such a thing happens and it sells controllers, I can imagine them doing something with PSVR2 as well, assuming the hardware limitations get sorted.

Eggyhead,

I think the odds of Sony and Steam collaborating on hardware is really slim, but I would die for a PlayStation x Steam Deck. My deck OLED is all but a Chiaki machine, to be honest.

Eggyhead,

As someone who just has a PSVR2 and a PS5, I agree. I think being able to include those features in PCVR games might entice VR developers to provide more feature rich ports of their games to PS5. Here's hoping it just needs some kind of official driver or something.

Eggyhead,

The blocker wall is preventing me from seeing anything in the article.

Eggyhead,

No, I’m on iOS.

Eggyhead,

Images on the feed shrink when I try to zoom in on mobile. If I want to read the text on the image, I need to tap it once to open the post, then tap it again to open the image. At that point it fills the screen, but I still can’t zoom in any closer, it just bounces back.
