My previous main instance got a pretty bad case of ded. 🥲
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 5 weeks ago:
Reminds me of disc-based DRMs. With how moody some were, I’d need to dump the ISOs, mount them with WinCDemu, and keep them mounted for as long as I kept playing those games. 😬
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 5 weeks ago:
Plenty of alternative stores that don’t require a launcher, so still possible to sideload games and therefore, 7 and 8 are not quite dead yet. (side note, but Vista is still also a decent system for gaming)
- Comment on FF6, T(ranslating)-Edition | Screenshots of what I'm playing, day 9 1 month ago:
The post title was a pun with the mod’s original name, “T-Edition”, and me insisting on playing the Japanese version despite still having difficulties with the language. But besides apparently increasing the main game’s difficulty, the mod adds a ton of optional challenges, including one that, iirc, acts like FFV’s mini dragon.

Doesn’t help the wheel doesn’t seem to take inputs until the player first jumps on it to get it moving. "<.<
Also, I didn’t get to test it, but with how much the player can actually move the wheel, I wouldn’t find far fetched to think the player can get crushed by the ceiling too.

Alternatively, it could be a way to kill what people look up to by fatigue through fatigue and disappointment through less than ideal re-imaginings.

Finished it! Found it to be much better than the first game indeed. ^_^
- Comment on Screenshots of what I'm playing, day 1: progressing through Sonic 2 1 month ago:
I’m playing the PC version of SMCP, and the only difference I can notice, maybe due to the better hardware, is that the game seems to be a bit faster on PC than on PS2. And have yet to test any of the other collections Sega made for/with the Sonic games.

Dunno how much you played of the franchise, but if you got stuck early on (e.g. the dreaded Marble Zone in the punishing first game), maybe you could abuse save states? The franchise got several emulated releases, and I imagine it’s not uncommon for them to allow such a function natively. And at least to me, Sonic 2 plays much better and I remember kid me finding Sonic 3 even sharper.

- Comment on Video game preservationists have lost a legal fight to study games remotely 1 month ago:
The text is obtuse and the article’s title and cover are pretty clickbaity, so here’s a tl;dr:
In the US, according to the article, it’s possible to lend multiple forms of digital medias and software as you’d do with physical medias. But when requested to extend this understanding to games too, the US Copyright Office denied the change. - Submitted 1 month ago to games@lemmy.world | 0 comments

I think that, if you have the resources to support that niche, which the savings from cheap offers hopefully allowed for, and you want to see it grow, it’s worth paying more.
- Comment on Day -1 of posting a screenshot from a game I've been playing until I also forget to post screenshots 2 months ago:
Here’s a screenshot I took of a FFX blitzball game some years back (metadata says it was back in 2016).
- Comment on Day -1 of posting a screenshot from a game I've been playing until I also forget to post screenshots 2 months ago:
It has native screenshot functions, yes, but they are highly compressed. Iirc, there’s a tool for taking uncompressed screenshots, but given the watermark in the screenshot, it’s most likely the native function.

I prefer psychological horror over jumpscares, so my recommendations are a bit slower than what people may recommend, but if it strikes your and your wife’s fancy, here are them:
Dreaming Sarah, Wishing Sarah, Tanglewood, Parasite Eve, Wake Up (by Philosophic Games), UNLOVED, The Corruption Within, - Comment on Blocking all posts that link to specific sites? 3 months ago:
Just remembered Ublock Origin filters also work nice with fediverse sites, although I would prefer to completely purge posts with links I avoid.
But for those curious, here’s an example filter I just cooked:
lemm.ee##a[class=“fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover”]:has-text(here_goes_the_domain_as_displayed_under_the_post_title):upward(div[class=“post-listing mt-2”])So as an hypothetical example, if for some reason I have a problem with the
sh.itjust.worksinstance, I could make this:lemm.ee##a[class=“fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover”]:has-text(sh.itjust.works):upward(div[class=“post-listing mt-2”])And it ends up looking like the attached image.

If, by 100%, it includes 100% of the achievements/trophies, I can only remember Mary Skelter Nightmares (og version), Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Starbound as games I still enjoy after doing 100%.

The issue could be at least mitigated if they allowed people to set their own servers independent of World of Warcraft’s own servers.

Besides being a fresh account with no previous activity, the post looks like one of those old scam/phishing emails, or more modern, an AI text. And besides, not posting the software on a platform more common for the gaming community rises suspicions further.
