Sounds like the Team Fortress 2 team has been busy, but didn’t want to count to 3

I’m starting to dislike the word “leaks” being used in place of “advertised” almost as much as I despise seeing the word “slams” in headlines

Lemmy user slams game developer over use of controlled leaks

Lemmy user has prostate problems, slams his cock against toilet in attempt to produce leaks

It’s how copros talk now, they saw “Leaks” are spicier than “Reveals”
It’s just what they do, they co-opt our langauge and misuse it. Plenty of restaurants around here claiming their cheap menu items are “Hunger Hacks”
When no they aren’t, as a hack would be a manipulation of loopholes to get a result not intended by the person who made the rules, a cheap item menu clearly listed is not a hack.

They had me at tower defense mechanics.

They’re surprisingly fun and I wonder why more team deathmatch games don’t include them.
I used to play Tremulous and it was super addictive to live and die by your base elements. Gives the game a whole new dimension.

Oh my god thank you for reminding me that tremulous existed. I spent so many hours playing that

Deadlock sounds like the name of a no-budget indie horror game that would release on Steam for a dollar. Not a big budget Apexwatch or Overlegends or…whatever you call this style of game.

They’re actually two different genres, team deathmatch and battle royale.
rwhitisissle@beehaw.org 11 months ago
Wikipedia says that Overwatch and Apex Legends are each part of the “Hero Shooter” genre (boy does that sound like an uninteresting genre). I’m guessing there are greater subdivisions of play structure that matches what you’re describing, but it all sounds like an uninteresting blend of character based FPS, like multiplayer Borderlands. I guess that’s where modern gaming is, though, since these really took off after 2016, which is solidly after my “hardcore gaming” days were mostly over.

The only part of this that interests me is how they decide to handle anti-cheat on linux.

Don't they already have VAC?

VAC is far from flawless

It’s from Valve, they’ll make sure it works on the Steam Deck.

I’m not really understanding why this portrait looks this way… Is the black blob on the bottom left his bent leg? If it is his bent leg, what’s the tan colored bit at the bottom? Or is the black blob some random giant pouch on his hip, alongside the other more pouch-like object on his hip? Is the bow being held close to his body (arm bent?) or does he have a short left arm?
So many questions…

Oh noooo, I hate this art and design style:(

I’m assuming you didn’t enjoy Team Fortress 2 then?

TF2 was great before they increased the player limit (was that at the same time it became free to play?). It was a hero shooter with strategy and synergy. It became a spammy farm fest with too many items and too many players for what the maps were designed for.

Eh Marvel’s Hero Shooter looks pretty good…
Though why people are making Hero Shooters NOW when Overwatch 2 has outright murdered public interest in the genre, I have no idea.
