- Comment on 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo 2 hours ago:
Clearly never played proball, a quake3 mod which was a fucking hoot and laid a lot of groundwork for Rocket League. Did hours of this at LAN parties
Soccer tournament for unreal was also excellent. Deathball for 2004 for was also brilliant. I’d love to see CoD or Fortnite do a modern fps take on the concept

Spoilers: it’s the weekend and some hard drive is full. Japanese uptake of the cloud was lagging, and I fully anticipate that PSN isn’t utilising any big cloud providers scalabaility and we’re now waiting on Jim, who is on a long weekend (and well earnt!) to reboot/add more storage/logrotate

- Comment on California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it 8 months ago:
DRM infected files mean that you as a consumer don’t own anything. As someome else can destroy it.
- Comment on California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it 8 months ago:
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it
DRM violates this principle. Atreides forever
- Comment on Is Lemmy Dead ☠️ 8 months ago:
Found it’s niche may be a better way to put it. Technology is very active, programming is full of good content. A good few meme communities. And the daily comics are great too. Plenty more examples. But plenty of communities pale in comparison to reddit, and this is likely due to the normie effect.
Techologists lead normies by 2 to 3 years, so give it another year yet before people migrate in bigger numbers

- Comment on The ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ Movie Sees A “Misfit” Crew Balancing Special Ops Mission And Starfleet Morality 10 months ago:
Same thing was said about DS9. And Discovery. And Lower Decks. Star Trek has proven itself to be very adaptable from comedy, to horror, through action and drama - and that’s the films alone.
I suspect we may well see S31 shown for what all intelligence organisations are: corrupt, inept, and deeply hypocritical to civil society. Doesn’t that sound like Star Trek to you?
- Comment on New Crazy Taxi title will be an open-world, massively multiplayer AAA game, according to Sega 11 months ago:
Some fuckwit VP needs fired over this decision. It was a simple game: pickup fairs, earn extra time, unlock stuff as you progress. If a publisher want extra cash, do more levels, or different jobs (delivery driver addon anyone?). And a fun soundtrack
Should have been able to bang it out for a million quid, and then reap the rewards. But nooo, now we have a game nobody wants to play, costing 20mil and will have servers shut down 2 years after launch
Everything that is wrong with gaming in 2024
