Sounds pretty similar to what happened to the PSVita. Sony tought that there was no reason to support a portable console anymore. Pretty funny, now that we have seen the absolute boom of the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.

To be fair:

  • it got a remaster; a remake is usually something that recreates the game from scratch.
  • DMC1 did not age that well in terms of gameplay, imo, as much as DMC3 did; it's a little stiffy! But it is true that it still plays much better than many PS2 games.

GTA games are the epitome of shallowness, for me. The story is always so vague and not interesting, you never get attached to characters. Gameplay is a boring loop, but its strength has always been being some sort of theme park. But it's 2024 and "hop onto a game just to go fast on car and shoot a couple of civilians"

Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Like Pokémon, nintendo developers know fans will buy new games regardless of how much new content there is to it. There is no legitimate reason for the game to be so close mechanically to its Gamecube entry, and I find it an insult to long time fans.

 

Come da titolo, qual è il vostro metodo di studio preferito?

Io continuo a saltare di palo in frasca, e capisco essere un metodo terribile: non mi creo un metodo costante, sono persistentemente indeciso.

Ho fatto buona parte di tempo ad utilizzare strumenti digitali che permettessero di mettersi a studiare senza troppi fronzoli, come Obsidian e Logseq, in cui si scrive in markdown e non si deve litigare con l'impaginazione di ogni singolo elemento.

In altri periodi ho sentito però il bisogno di prepararmi delle cose da stampare, perché mi sembra che avere la carta sotto mano aiuti un pochino. Ma nulla mi ha soddisfatto: convertire markdown in pdf con un'impaginazione personalizzata sembra un'impresa che non posso permettermi di compiere durante le sessioni, e i file di libreoffice sparsi di qua e di la rendono il tutto veramente macchinoso, sopratutto se si è abituati ad avere tutto in un "hub" principale come i metodi sopracitati.

It makes sense, but I highly suggest to try and see visual novels as reading material with mixed media (e.g. music). Many are very mid, but some do excel: Higurashi and Umineko are a great example of that.

Do you have anything to suggest? Me and a friend would like to re-dive into minecraft as a cozy co-op experience but we both have some experience with it from 2010-2018 and the new stuff that came out the last few years just don't look that convincing.

I've seen modpacks mentioned, but there's so many I don't know where to start

I second this. A second hand 64gb deck is probably under 300€ if you are a bit patient and search local online used markets, while a new nvidia shield pro is around 220€.

Pretty much supports most controllers OOB, is literally a console that you can play less demanding games on, has a high resell value if you don't dig it!

Most PC games nowadays do not have physical releases.

I actually just bought a second hand Lift, waiting for it to arrive. My hands are medium sized and I always used a modest size mouse, the Logitech G305, with ease.

Check official specs on the Logitech website, not Amazon: that sometimes weights the whole package, sometimes it doesn't. The Lift is supposed to be lighter and smaller than the MX!

It's absurdtpo me how basically no racing game company realizes that one of the key points to have your game be fun is to have some kind of progress. Contemporary racing games literally just throw cars at you in hope to make it fun by constantly giving you new toys.

I get that this is a thing that sells to the masses who /want/ those shiny new toys, but man. Imagine if a big studio actually took the time to improve on the vintage NFS progression formula :(

aaah sorry my bad, I guess I misunderstood

I'm sorry but it is definitely nowhere as close as the kind of harassment women receive. They have to deal with insults based on their gender, sexual harassment, digital stalking outside of games, etc

 

I've never really put a protective case on my handheld consoles (NDS, Vita, 3DS). However, the Steam Deck is more expensive and weighs much more, meaning that even a small height fall could more easily damage it.

I was thinking about the Spigen "Thin Fit Pro", which seems to be a tad more premium than what is usually on the market. It seems to be cut out to fit in an official dock, but I have my doubts.

What's your take on this?

Hello all! I hope someone checks the community here on lemmy. Yesterday I copied some backups to my retrodeck's installation on the Steam Deck, togheter with a psx backup. The latter got recognized fine by the in-built scraper using screenscraper.fr with an account, however the PSP ones did not.

I tried various names and I also tried to toggle on interactive mode. Any suggestions?

Edit: aaaand of course I fix it in around ten minutes after posting this, even if I tried for hours yesterday. The solution was to TURN OFF interactive mode (found it suggested in a patch by EmulationStation-DE) and change the name of the ACTUAL FILES (not the ES-DE scraper search) to the ones found on screenscraper.fr for the game you like.

Of course this is only a solution for small libraries with few selected titles, but it does work for me.

Hi! I've been working on a list of RPGs (mostly japanese or j-influenced somewhat) in which the cast is mostly adults. The list is hosted on backloggd.

Leaving it here both in case it may be useful to anyone, but also in case you spot any missing titles that you believe should be added :) cheers!

P.S: the only reason for not taking western RPGs into consideration is because.. well, most of them already feature adult casts. Think series such as Divinity, Shadowrun, Baldur's Gate, etc. However, those usually play dramatically different when compared to the JRPG-style turn-based combat.

 

Which titles are you ready to play on your linux-powered machine, be it pc or steam deck?

I'm having a blast with Death Stranding (albeit performance can be a little groggy on my dated i5-7500); I then plan on playing DOOM (2016) and Hades.
