  Dang coming in clutch, my friend

  I was able to register!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out Tildes

  I would if it wasn't invite-only :/

  Half the reason I was on reddit was to engage in discussions, and that's largely lost if I'm just scrolling through an unfiltered news feed with no way to participate.

  Is this just SMTV: Royal? Like basically the same game but with some added content?

  What are your options?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 26th⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cemu or original hardware? I love playing the original on the Wii U but it's cool upscaling to 1440p

  Picked up Paper Mario TTYD on Switch to see what all the hype is about, and yeah honestly all the OG fans were right about it. It's the best one I've played in the series by a longshot.

  Without context, I would assume Sticker Star and Color Splash released before TTYD - as if they were still figuring out where to go with the series, and would eventually evolve into something better as technology advanced. Then TTYD comes along, and not only has more mechanical depth, but also so much more life and creativity in it.

  Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don't Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it's a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.

  I've had Kenshi on my wishlist for a long time, and I haven't pulled the trigger. What's your favorite part about it? Most of what I know is that it's punishing and has deep roleplaying opportunities, but I don't know a lot of the specifics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some games you find yourself frequently coming back to?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the story criticism I've heard fall into a handful of categories:

  • Overall plot seeming convoluted and hard to follow (which is understandable when you throw both time travel and parallel universes into the same story)

  • Whitewashed portrayal of racism used for story aesthetics

  • Ending feeling confusing and/or unsatisfying

  • Certain story moments feeling out of place and/or undermining things that other story moments set up

  I haven't seen much in the way of players expecting/predicting plot twists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Small Steam Game Shows How LLMs Could Kill the Dialogue Tree (re: Verbal Verdict demo)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount of time to build something like this seems like it would offset the amount of effort it would take just to write good character dialogue. AI tools are basically word calculators, which means you have to provide data for the LLM, which means time to produce this data, time to build guardrails, etc. Even in this implementation, they say they had to build guardrails so that they don't say anything "harmful."

  There are also a number of lawsuits going on that will set a precedent for how training data can be utilized in commercial products. While I expect them to take the side of large corporations with vast resources at the expense of ethics, there's the possibility that they will do the right thing. This will affect how AI tools wil be used in such contexts.

  "Monado" has no specific meaning and is just a name.

  As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.

  But I do expect we'll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They're still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don't even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.

  Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit & Gaza situation⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah in my experience it's largely where you go.

  Leftist spaces obv have a lot more Palestinian independence discussion.

  There are lots of moderate spaces that allow open discourse that still slant toward the anti-genocide part of the equation.

  Then you have places like worldnews that heavily moderate out any pro-Palestine discussion and allow for heavy astroturfing. This is kind of a big one because it's one of the more popular places to get non-US news. So if you didn't know how it was being moderated, you might just assume that reddit is just randomly super bloodthirsty or something.

  I can't wait to play more JSRF. Haven't grabbed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk yet but super happy to see both official and third party solutions for my fix

  Also their game is literally $10 USD on Steam, compared to all the $70 ones that have been coming out lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume their console export options are due to some kind of agreement with console manufacturers, as they keep their dev agreements under heavy NDAs. I wonder how this will play out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo showed out the Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming Deck owners feel the same way

  Confirmed, except how some of these games are out here being 100GB+. But the indie space is where it's at right now anyway.

  Huh TIL
  I thought it was because 4k has 4x the pixel count of 1080p

  Their pic of somebody using it for graphic design is something I hadn't even considered. I've seen other artists use JoyCons but these would connect to PC a lot more seamlessly.
