Reminds me of the time I visited my grandma as a vacation. I brought my SNES including the Gameboy adapter. She loved Tetris even though she barely got past stage 1.

No, my reason was that using a microwave for cooking is completely valid and not at all comparable to letting AI produce garbage for you that you then blindly copy into your own source code.

I only downvoted this because it’s an insult to microwave cooking.

Tja.

And it wasn’t even news back then. Almost immediately after the BG3 release Swen Vincke talked about the next project being an in-house IP again. And not much later they quit working on a DLC.

Technology isn’t the hard part of OF. Money and moderation are. Most of the big payment suppliers like PayPal and credit card companies are vary about porn or outright ban it. So you need a partner who will take the money from customers and give it to you. And then you might need a different (or same) partner to give the money to the content creators.

And all the time you have to make sure that none of the creators are hosting illegal material or something that is not allowed by the money transfer providers.

But from the point of view of the creators all the money handling is the biggest service OF provides.

I got a Quest 1 (back when it was still supported) for cheap on ebay. PC VR and sideloaded free games and piracy have kept me afloat. I’m not even logged in to Meta’s shit.

There are clients that group posts that link to the same URL and show comments from all instances. And I think Piefed does that as well.

Wow, I never expected the Tomb Raider remasters to be given away so early.

I don’t see the appeal. Why would I do that? What could I possibly gain from that?

Oh, a Steam Machine?

It’s conflicting because it depends™. By default Lemmy is configured to mirror images by remote instances so as to not overwhelm them with traffic. But most instances turn that off because of the storage cost.

Neverwinter Nights

The multiplayer is supposedly incredible. But I remember being extremely whelmed by the main game.

But it’s hard to remember the mid games. Because it is very likely that they didn’t leave any lasting impression.

And especially if previous titles in a series or from a studio were great a mid game would feel disappointingly bad. Although compared to other games they might actually still be considered great.

Do you mean Mario Bros:

Or Super Mario Bros? They are very different games.

Xeen was what I thought of our first “proper” game. So many good memories. I played it like it’s real time, spamming the attack button without any strategy.

Still play it every so often. And thanks to ScummVM I could play it on a toaster if I wanted to.

It’s a good game. Just not as good as the first two, that’s all. Many attributed it to the console release dumbing down the mechanics.

But, oh man, The Shalebridge Cradle is so awesome even if the rest of the games sucked so much as to be unplayable, that mission alone could redeem it.

At the time my parents were away on holiday or something. So I dragged my PC and awesome sound system upstairs and hooked them up to the big TV, ironically getting closer to the console experience. Darkening the whole room and getting immersed in the game was so awesome. And the Cradle scared the everliving shit out of me.

Good times.

Yeah, some of the Linux Youtubers do that. With a channel on Peertube as well. And Science Youtubers often advertise Nebula.

The trouble with that is that there is barely any money outside of YouTube.

But they don’t know that I’m a German vegan who does crossfit to train to keep on running a whole lot of marathons.

But Health Departments want the restaurants to be good. Ideally every episode would be shitty without anything to complain about.
