• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, the same anti-cheat can work with one game, and not the other, because it’s up to the publisher/developer to enable Linux support for anti-cheat that can work with Linux. For example, one of the most well known solutions, EAC, has a bunch of games that don’t work, and actually a bunch that do as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit’s UK users must now prove they’re 18 to view many types of content⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If a website requires me to verify my age, I’ll stop using that website. If an app requires it, I’ll either stop using that app, or use a VPN, but there’s no way in hell I’m doing the verification process.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steel Hunters, the mech shooter from World of Tanks' devs, gets a shutdown date just three months after releasing in early access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny that this is the first time I’ve heard about this game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Archive from NEXON arrives on Steam and works on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh, gacha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Kickstarter for Dragon Age writer David Gaider's demonic deckbuilder Malys didn't work, so here it is in early access instead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, I start watching a trailer, see some pictures, or a description of a game, that looks interesting… and then it’s a deck builder, yaaay…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wizards of the Coast will make "CRPGs that are going to be as serious as BG3", and their D&D action game wants to be the stuff of gelatinous cube dreams⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think WoTC have the ability to make a game as 10th as good as BG3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mewgenics, the cat breeding roguelike from The Binding Of Isaac creator, has been delayed to avoid fighting other big moggies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  According to Wikipedia:

  A moggy is any cat which has not been intentionally bred. Moggies lack a consistent appearance unlike purebred cats that are selectively bred for appearance conforming to a standard.

  I guess it makes sense with the cat breeding theme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been announced - can someone please explain the plot of these games to me?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it looked interesting, but then it turned into a mil guy and then BOOM, Black Ops fucking 7. You know a franchise has too many games when a god damn sub-series has 6 sequels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you’re a fucking idiot, anyone could see it coming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reschedule those sailing lessons, as Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord's War Sails DLC has been delayed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably for the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 6 gets a second trailer but there's still no date for a PC version⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because they’re going to hold off on it as long as possible, to avoid thr risk of piracy and to encourage double dipping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft’s VR support is now gone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never going to happen, especially since most MC players aren’t on PC, and of those that are, more play Bedrock than Java, and only one of those two has an in-game marketplace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft’s VR support is now gone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, Fabric has been a thing for many years, and from playing both Fabric and Forge, I don’t really think its presence does any harm, at least not at this point. The biggest disruption in more recent times is NeoForge, a lot of mod packs seem to be transisitioning to it with 1.21.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You get twice the amount of Oblivion this year" says Skyblivion modder undeterred by official remaster⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well they apparently had, or still have, communication with Bethesda. So both they and Microsoft have obviously been fine with it so far, that doesn’t mean they can’t change their minds of course, but considering how many of a game’s lifetime sales are done as preorders or day one, I don’t think they’re too worried about Skyblivion affecting the profit from the remaster, since most people don’t have a PC, aren’t aware of it, don’t care for it, or aren’t patient enough to wait for it to release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam hits a another all-time user record with over 40 million online⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would never happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad news for portable Monster Hunter Wilds hopefuls: the Steam Deck can't manage 30 fps, even in maximum potato mode⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can barely manage 40 fps without frame gen so no surprise there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fingerprinting: Critics say Google rules put profits over privacy.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shocking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass Effect 2 Celebrates 15th Anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman's World now wants to link AI agents to your digital identity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And I’d like someone to link their fist to his face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final Fantasy VII Rebirth – Custom Chocobo Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  +5 to Heat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves Of Qud, one of the most exciting development projects in PC gaming, hit 1.0 this week⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my keyboard doesn’t have a numpad, which definitely makes it a little less convenient to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vulkan API 1.4 released with new required extensions, better 8K rendering⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure the three people who have 8K displays will appreciate that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord finally fixed Linux screen and audio sharing with Wayland⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is absolutely used as a forum. It even has forum features built in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed Shadows to Feature Denuvo & Mandatory Ubisoft Account Linking⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely shocking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No plans for a Space Marine 2 PvPvE mode - "it sounds great on paper", but "it's very annoying" in practice⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I really dislike PvPvE. I like to play SoT, it’s one of my favourite games to chill and play with friends while drinking… but only for the PvE content. I think most of the time, people are interested largely in one mode or the other. PvPers don’t like it when PvEers don’t engage them, and PvEers don’t like their chill time being interrupted by PvPers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sid Meier's Civilization VII gets Windows system requirements with Linux and macOS details later⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The expected values. It doesn’t necessarily mean the game is limited to 60 fps, but 60 is a common target to aim for. Knowing what specs you need to achieve it, given your resolution, is quite nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic knows its game store social features ‘suck,’ but it wants to fix that⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? I would think the biggest problem Lemmy users have with Epic is their business practices, not a lack of social features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic knows its game store social features ‘suck,’ but it wants to fix that⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know anyone who uses steam chat or parties instead of something like Discord, so I’m not sure it really matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia App implements G-Sync controls, multi-monitor RTX HDR, and driver rollback — GeForce Experience users will be migrated to the Nvidia App by the end of year⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally, fucking hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beefy Space Marine 2 update reworks the AI, spawning and overall difficuty and adds a friendly sparring arena⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also ultrawide support, so I can stop playing it on my secondary monitor, hooray.
