moody,

I’ve bought a bunch of stuff, but never anything important or particularly expensive. Random crap like LED strip lights, screws, bearings, and springs for 3D printing projects, or even filaments. Never had any issues, but I’d still be apprehensive buying something more expensive.

moody,

The concept behind short-term multiplayer in a long game is pretty cool. The invasions and the jolly cooperation are fun features.

But an actual 2-player session is a completely different experience, and something a lot of people are looking for

moody,

Egg white.

moody,

There are some pedestrian bridges in Bangkok where the average person could just reach out and touch the clusterfuck of powerlines if they listened to the call of the void.

moody,

Most people don’t like Dolly for her music. It would be hard to get so many people to agree on one artist based on their music.

But anybody saying she’s a bad person is just flat wrong or just trying to stir shit.

moody,

She’s 78 years old and she’s been in the public eye for almost 60 years, and she’s been pretty upfront about her views and the good that she wants to do the entire time, and putting her money where her mouth is, and somehow some awful people still try to smear her and still can’t find anything to smear her with.

moody,

There are also arcade and Wii versions of Punch Out.

moody,

You can’t fast travel when enemies are nearby.

moody,

You think she went to college? She barely got her GED before getting elected.

moody,

Too bad she wouldn’t know a thing about college though.

He doesn’t want a disk-shaped rocket, he’s more into yachts, apparently. I understand he owns several large ones.

moody,

The reason Doom got a reputation that it can run on anything is that it did run on just about anything.

The original requirement was for a 386 CPU which ran between 12 and 40 MHz. The 386 was launched in 1985. That means that at the time the Doom was released, it could run on 8-year-old hardware.

moody,

I ran it perfectly on a 33MHz 486 with 4mb RAM for a long time. Even Doom II with some of its heavier maps ran fine.

But the point was that the hardware requirements were low enough that it could be ported to just about any hardware. It ran on SNES which was like 4MHz

What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? (kbin.social)

As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....

moody,

Kind of sad that all of the games named were made by Nintendo or Rare (which was basically owned by Nintendo at the time)

How many third-party games were any good?

Philanthropist who gave $30M to U Manitoba condemns 'hateful' valedictory speech, university for allowing it (www.cbc.ca)

The philanthropist behind the University of Manitoba’s largest-ever personal donation — $30 million — has denounced a speech made by a valedictorian for medicine grads and admonished the university for letting it happen....

moody,

I agree with this, but also schools should be free to take donations because more money for education is always a good thing. Donations, however, should be no-strings-attached, otherwise they’re not donations, they’re bribes.

moody,

That’s sort of what they do, except they still call it a purchase. I’ve never seen the word ‘rental’ on any game store. They shouldn’t be allowed to even call it a purchase if it isn’t one.

moody,

I’ve already given up my foreskin. Is that good enough?

moody,

For anyone who has knowledge of that stuff, what kind of training is required for driving a train? Like what’s involved with handling a giant machine on rails? I assume there’s more to it than the public sees at first glance.

moody,

It might be. Do moles have foreskins?

moody,

Mattingly! I thought I told you to shave those sideburns!

moody,

Yes, and the word going around is that the biggest cracker of Denuvo has been out of the game for a while. So Denuvo games aren’t being cracked at all.

There are many forms of DRM, but as much as Denuvo sucks, it’s probably the most effective nowadays.

moody,

I’m not aware of that happening, but I can’t say for sure. Typically the games stay Early Access until they announce the official release.

moody,

“First of all, I would like to say that I am very sorry that fans and the game community in general are experiencing these feelings,”

So it’s a non-apology

If God exists, these people are going to Hell, because they think they’re righteous despite all the evil they’re doing. In their minds, there’s nothing to confess and repent for.

moody,

On my phone, it gives a 5 second delay before making an SOS call.

moody,

I think depending on what type of grip you use on your mouse, it might change what sensitivity you want to use. It’s easy to cover wider distances with your wrist moving left-right, but harder to cover the same distance using your fingers to move up-down.

moody,

I don’t usually change the Y sensitivity, but I use a grip sort of halfway between a palm and fingertip grip, where I use my fingers for smaller movements, and my wrist for larger ones, so I can definitely see why some would want to.

moody,

Crouching MK a is less committing poke. It’s faster and has more range, and has less recovery time. You can basically always chain it into a fireball, and if the kick hits, so does the fireball. If the kick is blocked, the fireball has to be blocked as well.

Use the fireballs alone at medium range. If they jump over, a quick dragon punch knocks them down. If they block, you get some chip damage in.

If you really want to get good, look up frame info for your character. It will let you know which attacks can be chained into each other, and which ones are easier or harder to punish.

moody,

The American electoral system is an absolute joke.

moody,

Google maps does work if you give it the right permissions. Google Pay does not, as NFC doesn’t work under GrapheneOS.

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

moody,

two programmers, two artists and one designer

One of those programmers was John Carmack, who happens to be ridiculously talented, and actually revolutionized PC gaming multiple times throughout his career.

moody,

Temple OS is a meme.

If the compressor dies but the evaporator tray is still heating, it would definitely cause the fridge to warm up.

moody,

Damn, I bet some smart entrepreneur is already working on Uber Newborn deliveries.

moody,

No, no, Microsoft cares about my privacy. I get a daily popup reminding me of this and also asking for me to share my private data with them.

moody,

I don’t know if it’s everywhere, but there’s a Decathlon store near me that has RFID on everything. When you get to the register, you just chuck everything in the box and it shows you what you need to pay. Take something out of the box, and it takes it out of your purchases.

10/10 self-checkout experience.

Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?

It’s not amazing, but as far as side-scrolling platformers go, it was fairly compelling.

Also the PSP can play PS1 games, so you have access to a pretty big library of classics.

moody,

But everyone loves Marineland. The TV told me so!

moody,

We could certainly use legislation that prevents companies from calling it a buy/sell transaction when in reality it’s a license transaction. Purchases can’t be revoked or altered after the fact.

moody,

Most of them aren’t from MN

moody,

What’s to stop you blowing your bollocks off every time you sit down?

moody,

That’s what differentiates free games from free-to-play games. A free game gets you the entire experience for free. A FTP game gets you a barebones experience unless you spend money.

Big studios typically don’t release actual free games, obviously because there’s no money to be made that way.

moody,

2.4 mil to settle, or paying your lawyers potentially for years to fight the lawsuit and maybe lose?

moody,

Windows, by default, doesn’t fully power off when you tell it to shut down. Windows Update can wake it up and install updates, and then leave the computer running when it’s done.

I believe there are some registry and/or group policy settings to disable this feature, but I’m not sure specifically what they are.

An option in the meantime is to hold down the left shift key while as you tell Windows to shut down. This should force a full power-off.

moody,

That’s not the point. Why would Hamas shoot down planes trying to deliver food to their own people?

Yes, Hamas bad. But shooting down planes trying to help your people is not just bad, it’s stupid.

Israel on the other hand will likely be bombing and sniping the landing zones, because they want the Gazans to starve.

moody,

Street Fighter 6 recently came out, to pretty high praise from reviewers and the general public.

The game has a “Year 1 character pass” that adds 4 new characters. Eventually, there will be a year 2 character pass that will add more characters. If you’re not buying these, you’re literally not getting the entire game. When you play online, you will face opponents playing characters that you can’t even play yourself.

There are lots of games that have similar features where not spending the extra cash means you’re literally not getting as much content as everyone else. It’s not just about cosmetics anymore and hasn’t been for years now.

Epic Games reportedly hit by 189GB hack, including login and payment info (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

The report comes from Cyber Daily, who also broke the news of last year’s confirmed hack attack on Insomniac Games.

moody,

Situations like this are why I never save my payment information anywhere.
