• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a few days ago, at a local Vampire Savior tournament. Grand Finals ended with me sniping Q-Bee's bubble super with a callout from B.B. Hood's gun super. Wish I had a clip, but it wasn't streamed or recorded.

  Also had a few good laughs playing Skullgirls earlier that night at the same local, chaotic shit always happens in that game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Word of caution, do NOT read the original manga. It's kind of infamous for the incredibly controversial direction the story goes in the second half, which the anime thankfully omits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can a US state block porn?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Conservatives have been labeling anything and everything they don't like as "porn". A queer romance novel is "porn". Two male characters kissing on television is "porn". Drag queen story time is "porn". The picture book Heather Has Two Mommies is "porn". And most importantly to them, educational resources for LGBTQ youth are "porn".

  So by declaring porn illegal, they now have a pretext to go after everything they call "porn". Their goal isn't to remove all porn from the internet, it's to make it harder for people who need those educational resources to access them. It's not about porn, it's about "porn".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone Who Worked On A Video Game Needs To Be In The Credits [Aftermath]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It's not about whether you or I are going to sit down and read through them all. It's for the sake of those workers, that they have documentation of what they worked on that they can cite and say "I'm in there, you can check the credits and confirm."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any good 3D Nintendo FAN made games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Romhacks:

  • Link to the Past Randomizer - Generates a shuffled ROM with all chests and items swapped around, sending you on a wild goose chase through Hyrule trying to find everything required to beat Ganon. Has a LOT of settings to play around with.
  • Link to the Past/Super Metroid Combo Randomizer - Like the above, but with both games combined into a single ROM using some elaborate witchcraft. Certain doors take you from one game to the other, and the item pools are shuffled together so you'll have to go back and forth between Hyrule to find Metroid items and Zebes to find Zelda items. It's a bit imbalanced by the fact that LttP is a much bigger game than SM with far more items and locations, but I recommend playing through it once for the sheer novelty.
  • Celeste Mario's Zap & Dash - A metroidvania running in SMB1's engine. As the name suggests, it's heavily inspired by Celeste and ports in mechanics from that game.

  Standalone fangames:

  • Panel Attack - Open source clone of Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Puzzle League/Puzzle Challenge/oh my god Nintendo please pick a name and stick with it featuring netplay and modding support.
  • AM2R - Another Metroid 2 Remake. Do note that I've heard a big 2.0 update is supposed to be coming soon, so you may wish to wait for that.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  DRM-free games can be freely copied, nothing's stopping you.

  Pirates have to crack games that don't have DRM-free versions available, games that aren't on GOG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Will never be anywhere close to what Newgrounds and Kongregate were at their peak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Porting two existing titles is hardly what I would consider a new golden age.

  Browser games peaked in the 00s-10s as the most accessible place to publish a simple indie project. It was simple and easy for beginner developers to just make something and put it out there, and for those that took off there was a decent pipeline to monetize a hit by licensing it to sites that would share a cut of ad revenue.

  But now, mobile and Steam have replaced that as the go-to target for developers. They've gotten to a point where they're just as accessible to develop for, and if you want to make a living off your work you'll have a much better shot that way.

  Plenty of great tools still exist for HTML5 development, if developers wanted to they could, and some do. Itch.io has a good amount of new browser games, they exist.

  But there's never going to be anything as big as Newgrounds or Kongregate. Those days are gone for good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do deaf people know they have a deaf accent when speaking?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They may not know how their own voice sounds, but they are definitely aware that Deaf people are often perceived as sounding odd. Some Deaf people put a lot of practice into learning how to speak, sometimes even with the help of a vocal coach. Others may choose not to even try because of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game - Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At one point MaxEnt had announced an Avatar fighting game, but then silently canceled it when everything imploded. So this appears to be a revival of that.

  Over a month ago we were told that TFH's IP had been sold to a new owner, and they'd have an announcement within a month. Announcement still hasn't happened, but the publisher on Steam was silently changed to Gameplay Group International, along with Diesel Legacy's.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 continues to break US launch sales records, selling more in its first three months than PS4 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don't forget Splatoon 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 continues to break US launch sales records, selling more in its first three months than PS4 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only Switch 2 game I even have right now is Deltarune. But I know I'm buying Kirby Air Riders, and I figured it'd be best to make sure I get the console right away in case tariffs fuck anything up by then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate that Discord has taken over most communities and put them in a place unindexed by search engines. I hate it so much.

  But this is where users all go in Current Year, and I don't blame game developers for following the crowd. Especially for smaller multiplayer games, if you want to sustain an active community you've gotta have that #matchmaking channel for players to organize.

  Also, tbh, Steam Forums ain't great either. At least they're searchable, but that's all that can be said about them. In my experience they've often devolved into the most toxic hellholes due to Valve's lack of moderation. Also not ideal for anything multiplatform, that only covers Steam users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than 60% of US game players only buy two games or fewer per year, survey finds | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven't gotten all the way down to 2 yet, but at the rate I'm going, I could see it. I've settled into mostly grinding the same few forever games while the mainstream industry moves further and further away from my tastes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm here making a point, and you're willfully ignoring that point to pretend I agree with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you miss the part where I'm pointing out the fact that it won't happen? I'm not agreeing with you, I'm making a point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They should have. But they won't.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm against the death penalty because I don't believe it should be necessary in a just world, nor should the state ever be trusted with that kind of power.

  However, I see the guillotine as symbolizing the last resort in an unjust world. The worst monsters in society commit their injustices in broad daylight, and nothing will be done about it. We know that justice will never be served through the courts. So what then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there's definite value in having these boards to ask questions. It just... needs moderators to be more proactive in dealing with bad actors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don't want to manage your own forum, then disable user posts entirely.

  I don't believe that's an option. I know one indie dev that actually told me they wished they could just not have a Steam forum because they hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Forums are one of the worst hellholes I've seen on the modern internet, and Valve does nothing. Any game that gets declared a target by the post-Gamergate crowd ends up having its board seiged until it's unusable for any kind of actual discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't like framing things in terms of doing a bad thing = being a bad person.

  But they are undoubtedly doing a bad thing, street racing endangers bystanders and can get people seriously hurt or even killed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's an answer for you as a consumer, but the article is from the perspective of the industry. If no one ever bought new games, game development would not be sustainable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are three tiers of activity:

  • Active enough that I can queue at any time of day and find opponents close to my skill level with good ping
  • Active enough that I can queue at peak hours and find opponents
  • Need to schedule games via Discord matchmaking

  If I really love the game enough, I'll put up with jumping through hoops to play it, but it does get frustrating when the games I like are a lot more convenient to play than the games I love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rhythm Doctor - Official Release Date Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The trailer was made entirely within the game's very robust level editor. At the end it actually shows the level editor project.
