Hey @Someasy@lemmy.world, I believe you were asking about this recently.

Looks good. My short stint with CS2 didn’t exactly left me wanting more and since CSGO is dead this could finally be a way for me to play some CS again. Thanks for sharing!

This is the one written by Ryukishi07, isn’t it? I’m really curious what he’ll be able to cook up for us.
- Comment on Is Croc coming this month? They said Q1 2024 but no new info. What are the chances it'll be delayed again? 3 weeks ago:
As much as I love Croc, it’s not like this is a highly anticipated high budget release of a new title.
My guess is that they’ll keep the new date secret for as long as they can, until they’re completely sure they can make it (especially after they didn’t make it for the original one). It wouldn’t be the first time game like this gets released without much of a marketing drive or even with a stealth drop.
These slowly appearing previews seem to indicate we might be getting close but who knows. I’m honestly not good enough with dates to join you on the speculation train.

- Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion 4 weeks ago:
Starfield never really grabbed my attention so I thankfully dodged a bullet with that one.
So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).
No need to apologise, people should have the option to play games however they want.
- Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion 4 weeks ago:
Even if they do, I feel like both projects will have different enough approach to things to avoid making the other obsolete. Maybe… possibly.
I’ll certainly take the unofficial remake over the Bethesda one due to lower requirements and lack of Creation Club. That, and I’m just more interested in the fan interpretation of Cyrodiil to be honest.

That’s me with every Bethesda game I played. I don’t even treat them as games to beat, just worlds to run around in.
- Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim! 5 weeks ago:
Guild exclusivity is actually what I had in mind. Sure, there’s nothing that significantly changes the main quest in TES games (and I think I misremembered how much blocking is there in previous titles) but that still counts for me personally. Self-imposed role play is fine in general (I do it all the time in games in fact) but I still think that lack of reasonable requirements for some (optional?) content makes the world feel more generic and player-focused than I’d like.
Thanks for the reminder though.
- Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim! 5 weeks ago:
Change from Oblivion to Skyrim would definitely affect my question. I do think the former had more “my kind” of role playing so the initial thought would be more understandable for me.
Thanks for the answer. I get what you mean about playing as more defined main characters, it definitely has it’s benefits over more open-ended approach.
- Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim! 5 weeks ago:
This is a genuine question and not me trying to be snarky or anything: how’s that possible? Was there any meaningful role playing in Skyrim at all?
To me the system simplification of Skyrim went so far that the only real role you could play was the dragonborn - not your specific one but a generic dragonborn who could be anyone and everything at the same time. Maybe my definition of role playing is outdated as I feel it should include choices and consequences (like blocking or limiting access to some content) so I’d be grateful if you could expand on that.
Again, I’m not trying to suggest you’re wrong or anything, I’m just curious about your perspective (or something more about what you’ve read).

It managed to fly under the radar for 2 year so far (it was uploaded in 2023) so that depends on how much this info spreads, I guess.
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
I don’t think they’ll remove the Ultimate Collection from people’s libraries. The main incentive to buy is… well, the ability to buy the games and the improved compatibility with modern systems - UC doesn’t really affect the main demographic, i.e. people who aren’t interested or knowledgeable enough to fix those issues on their own.
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
That’s a fair point. I should’ve gone with the “packs” wording EA used, I guess.
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
It’s all good, I didn’t take your reply as a negative. It would be awesome if we could play anything with zero issues but we can’t always be this lucky I’m afraid (though I’m all for heckling big corps about DRM).

Both games did get some compatibility fixes but for the most part yeah.
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
I wasn’t trying to imply anything else to be clear, just wanted to mention that their app on its own doesn’t mean it won’t work. I completely agree otherwise.
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
Good to know, so these might be playable as well.
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
Yup, apparently so.
- Comment on The Sims & The Sims 2 Legacy Collections - Official Reveal Trailer 1 month ago:
EA App does work through Wine so that itself isn’t a death sentence. Dunno about it mixed with Denuvo though.

- Comment on Why do some people think others are troll just because they don’t like what they have to say? 1 month ago:
I feel like the amount of actual trolls and bad-faith posters made many people hyper vigilant about anything that looks like a potential bait. The general polarization also causes people to react more rashly rather than approaching something in good faith and responding in polite and constructive manner.
That’s not to say everyone is irrational and wrong about how they react but it really does seem like some would rather yell at any sign of opposition or doubt instead of talking it out. It’s an unfortunate result of the times we live in, to some extent.

- Comment on Long-Gone Classics The Sims 1 And 2 Are Finally Coming Back To PC 1 month ago:
I just started playing the original game two weeks ago or so and time management is pretty much my main complaint right now. It feels a little too close to (or even more punishing than) real life where there’s barely any time to keep up with my character’s needs after coming back from work. It can be done though - I’m slowly getting used to how things work again and my sim has been leaving in a slightly better mood then before. Just need to get into a proper Sims mindset, I guess.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 2 months ago:
These petitions are limited in scope for a reason - this is a small initiative and the goal is to focus on one part of the market which started the whole thing (the initiative, not the software killing issue), as well as to limit the number of big companies that could be affected (the potential opposition).
Sure, ideally this would expand on all software but you have to start somewhere, especially when you’re just a bunch of randos with little knowledge about law and no funds to turn it into a serious lobbying movement - one that could both get the political attention and was able to defend its stance from corporations.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 2 months ago:
I don’t think there were much if any attempts to make a petition in the US. If I recall correctly, Ross spoke with a lawyer who told him the chances for a positive outcome are close to null which is why he decided to focus on other markets - mainly: Australia, Brazil, Canada, EU, France and UK.
The failed petition mentioned was in UK, just like this one, but was canceled due to early elections. EU petition is still going, with a little bit over 6 months left, while Australian and Canadian ones closed last year. There was also a push to contact the local consumer protection agencies in Australia, France and Germany since they seem to have the tools to look into the issue as well.
