OK, but all the ticks can go die in a fire

SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Warner Bros. is closing Monolith, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, and has cancelled its Wonder Woman gameEnglish3·2 months ago“Key franchises”? And they don’t think WW is a key franchise? Out of all their films from the past few years, the WW ones have been some of the best. If they don’t want to do anything with it, they don’t deserve the IP.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•What gameplay systems or game mechanics do you enjoy?English2·3 months agoI’m not sure if this counts as gameplay mechanics or rather narrative structure, but games like Outer Wilds, Fez, Tunic, where the exploration and discovery of the game is the end goal of playing the game, not just getting to the game’s end state.
I’m not sure if there’s an accepted term for these games, but I’ve always thought of them as “archaeology” games. There’s a bunch of stuff, both plot and gameplay, that is hidden (sometimes in plain sight), until you discover it and find out what meaning it carries.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 20th1·3 months agoIt’s honestly not amazing. It’s a third person shooter across multiple different levels of built up environments, offices, corridors. The enemy AI is pretty terrible, and although there are different tactics you can use to “hack” and take over enemies or melee, it’s usually just easier to shoot.
But the parkour style navigation stood out. You can do wall jumping, which I was not expecting, and there are hidden pickups you can explore and find. And the open environments are nice (the corridors can feel a bit samey after a few levels).
It feels like one of those tie-ins that, had the dev team had more time to explore, balance, and really make it into its own game, might have been really good.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 20th7·3 months agoI’ve downloaded some old PS2 era games. Some of the gameplay is quite dated, but I really enjoy the retro feel of the environments and graphics. Perfect photorealism isn’t always necessary to enjoy a game. I’ve been playing Burnout and Ghost in the Shell SAC.

If you are going to make me put a coin into a cart because you don’t trust me to be an adult and tidy up after myself without being nannied, then I am going to do my damndest to bypass your lock and leave a mess out of spite.
In the shops where I am trusted and not required to pay a coin (I never even carry cash these days) I tidy up because that is the decent thing to do.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Seagate launches 30/32TB capacity Exos M mechanical HDD (30/32TB capacity)English0·4 months ago“The two models, the 30TB … and the 32TB …, each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk”. Well, yes, I would hope something advertised as being 30TB would offer at least 3TB. Am I misreading this sentence somehow?
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto memes@lemmy.world•Some people just defend the status quo.15·5 months agoTo all the people saying they should release server source code: You don’t even need to do that (as nice as it would be). At the very basic level all that is needed is:
- remove DRM (which probably cost more effort to add in the first place)
- a description of the API for any online components (which any decent dev team will already have internally documented)
In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Baby red panda dies due to 'stress caused by fireworks,' renewing calls to ban their public saleEnglish71·5 months agoI find it immensely infuriating that the article’s byline shows they are reporting from ‘London’ when in fact this happened not just in a different city, Edinburgh, but in a completely different country, Scotland.
Sad about the pandas, there are far too many people that simply can’t be trusted with fireworks. Limiting it to a single night in dedicated display venues run by licensed organisations wouldn’t remove the noise entirely, but it would reduce the frequency and would probably help all animals.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Online Gaming Platforms And YouTube Will Also Seemingly Be Banned For Aussies Under 16English2·6 months agoAccording to the 3 criteria mentioned in the article, YouTube wouldn’t need to be banned, logging in to YouTube would be banned. YouTube is still functional (mostly) when logged out, and wouldn’t violate those 3 criteria. The other services mentioned, like gaming, would be banned.
You can’t misgender a brand. You can’t deadname a brand. You can’t befriend a brand.
I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn’t sound half bad.

SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Gaming@beehaw.org•It's finally up! Please sign it if you're in the UK :) Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state.31·1 year ago100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.
A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.
The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn’t asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.
Users need to know what this dot means, and some like children or the elderly will likely not understand the ramifications
