- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 3 days ago:
I don’t find the absence of criticism suspicious. The petition makes sense.
What I do find suspicious is the sudden emergence of criticism now that it looks like it might succeed. I smell astroturfing and media manipulation.

In future, I suggest posting just once, and using Lemmy’s cross-post feature to reach your other target communities. This would allow clients to avoid flooding users with duplicate posts, and allow users to discover related discussions in different communities.

Sure, but I don’t see platforms anywhere in that particular game.

Huh… I see swimming through water in this video, but I don’t see platforms.

Released in 1985, about a year and a half after Pitfall II.
- Comment on What was the first water level in a platformer? 2 weeks ago:
Anybody have one that predates Pitfall II: Lost Caverns (1984)?
- Comment on What was the first water level in a platformer? 2 weeks ago:
Water, sure, but none of those are platformers.

I hope you do, and show it off when you’re done!

Knowing this makes life easier for practically nobody, so it doesn’t really fit this community.
It is cool, though. I think it would make a good Today I Learned.

Does anyone notice much difference between 25 fps and 30 fps at these screen sizes?
I don’t have one these handhelds, but in general, I’ve found that smaller screens make lower frame rates feel a lot less choppy.

Mitigation for TSA requires a combination of new microcode patches for affected systems as well as updates to OS and hypervisors.
So watch for OS and microcode updates addressing these:

- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 2 weeks ago:
I look forward to the small new game studios that will surely appear as the big old ones are consolidated and/or dismantled.
It’s disappointing to see things we like fade away, but as the sun sets in one place, it rises in another.

Another Lutris advantage: it doesn’t come with all that Electron bloat.

Thanks for pointing this out. I think I’ll give the free demo a try.

I’m glad they mentioned Minigalaxy, which looks simpler than Lutris and lighter than Heroic.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games consumer movement hits some major milestones 3 weeks ago:
A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly. Aiming for 1.4 million might be wise.

Almost, but not quite. A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly.
- Comment on Unexpectedly wholesome exchange after a poor performance from me in Rematch 3 weeks ago:
It’s relieving to see that they calmed down in the end, but I don’t think that makes up for being a dick when feeling frustrated.
I wish the gaming community would teach people to take pride in good sportsmanship. It’s arguably harder than mechanical or strategic skill, and it’s usually more valuable.
- Comment on Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy? 3 weeks ago:
I loved BotW.
I wanted to love TotK. It brought some very welcome quality of life improvements, a darker side of Hyrule, new mechanics, and more spaces to explore. I appreciated all these things, and enjoyed it for a while, but ended up getting bored and wandering off.
Despite all that it brings to the table, TotK feels repetitive and uninspired to me. It didn’t draw me in. It didn’t make me care about anything. Every time I pick it up again, I get bored again, and leave. I usually end up starting another BotW play-through, and having fun again.
I vote +1 for Breath of the Wild.

- Comment on Are there any Android controllers with split D-pads? 3 weeks ago:
That’s curious, because on the PlayStation 4 controller, the D-pad direction buttons are all part of a single piece of plastic.
…cdn.ifixit.com/…/hTuPDBGqIUVBDYeI.medium
You can see this when pressing one direction button, as the other three tilt along with it. The sensors behind this plastic piece are separate, but as far as I know, that’s true in all D-pads.

In what way is the D-pad on a PlayStation controller “split”?

- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Will Take Cues From Mass Effect, Souls Games and More 4 weeks ago:
Mishulin vaguely compared Osiris Reborn to a Souls game – not in its difficulty, but in discovering weapons during the game and strengthening your play style around it.
I find Souls games boring, but this particular aspect wouldn’t bother me. It’s common in other genres as well, like deck-builders.
