• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is reportedly planning a Nintendo Switch-style PlayStation 6 portable | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting that the article doesn’t mention the Steamdeck and the explosion of portable PC gaming devices as well. The Switch opened the market, but the Steamdeck expanded it and showed there was room for competition.

  Well I mean, it does say “Kirkland signature” not “made in Kirkland.”

  They’re just putting their signature on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  rufuspollock.com/…/optimal_copyright_term.pdf

  Research by mathematician Rufus Pollock in 2009 pegged optimal copyright length at 15 years, regardless of time of authorial death. So if I copyrighted something at 30, I would lose the copyright automatically at 45, even if I lived to 90.

  These are what the separator lines for groups of comments look like on the web version of Lemmy. It’s implying there’s a lot of responses, at least 10, by the number of lines, and perhaps even more arguing under various responses.

  You can’t stop him, you can’t reason with him, you can’t kill the boogeyman.

  And you obviously couldn’t afford a decent Donald Pleasance soundalike yeesh.

  Also this game company has an abysmal history of post-release support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bubsy 4D - Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, from the little bit of gameplay I saw, it seems like all his moveset from the original Bubsy is back and they’re leveraging it well for 3d platforming.

  What could possibly go wrong?

  UK slang that roughly means whining or complaining.

  Didn’t the same movie have Hawkgirl pulling a Pinochet on the bad guy though? Weren’t they happy enough with that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light 2 Removes Stamina from Parkour System⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally agreed. Kyle Crane is pretty forgettable, I had do look his name up, in fact I had to look both the protagonists names up.

  The funny thing about the Kyle Crane stuff is that for anyone with even a passing interest in media other than video games… you’ve heard Roger Craig Smith’s voice everywhere for over a decade now! He’s one of the most prolific and easily forgettable voice actors there is! Not only was he the voice for Sonic the Hedgehog in a litany of cartoon and video game iterations, but he’s just in nearly anything you can think of that requires voice acting. He literally was in 122 episodes of Cartoon Network’s regular show playing about 170 different characters, including Thomas, a character whose entire arc is based on a joke about how shows add new characters and then focusing on them and constantly avoiding focus on Thomas and making him ridiculously boring! In fact, episodes where he played Thomas were airing during the time that Dying Light released.

  I don’t know how they ever thought Roger Craig Smith was going to be remembered as the action hero everyone loved. I mean, I love me some Roger Craig Smith, but way more for being a fucking goofball than being a gritty action hero.

  I thought DL1 was Kyle Crane? Was Aiden even in DL1? I’m a little confused by what you mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am ashamed to say how long it took me to get the pun in the title for this game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light 2 Removes Stamina from Parkour System⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems like a big change to be making 3 and a half years after release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Devil’s Advocate: This is for the adult gamer set who only have a prescribed amount of time they can spend on gaming. They get a chance for a few hours every few weeks. Their lives are overwhelming with details and information they need to remember regarding every day life. They simply don’t have the capacity to remember all the details from a game they spend two to three hours on once every few weeks.

  While I understand the frustration with such writing, because it bothers me as well… I don’t have a job where I work 60 hours a week nor do I have children. I’m kind of the exception to the rule when it comes to being able to give a game my full attention. Further, I have always had an incredibly good memory and attention to detail. Most people I have met in my life simply… do not have incredibly good memories or attention to detail. That doesn’t make them bad people who are living life wrong, it just means their brains work differently or they’re putting that mental energy to different things.

  If we want people to pay attention to these stories, well, we’ve got to change fucking society from the ground up so they have the free time to actually be able to do so. Whinging about it like this isn’t going to magically make people pay better attention when they have to split their time with taking care of their children, which obviously should take priority over a fucking video game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you dear lemmings help me undo my cat's latest keyboard shortcut?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t find a documented keyboard shortcut for this.

  Have you tried tapping an empty part of the Shelf bar where there are no apps using the touchpad and tapping with two fingers at once?

  The only documented ways I have been able to find is the double tap on the touchpad or right-clicking then then choosing where to place the Shelf.
