- Comment on Is anyone else into demoscene videos? 1 week ago:
Is there a good aggregator for demos? Or should I just start watching some on YouTube and hope the algorithm starts including them?

- Comment on Euro 2024 violence: Turkey and Georgia fans clash in Germany 1 week ago:
Today in European news:
A BRAWL broke out between Turkey and Georgia fans. They FIERCELY shouted at each other through some railings while throwing plastic beverage cups at each other.
Then, during the game, a player was GRAVELY injured when a defender tackled him directly in the shin guard. He rolled around on the ground for 5 minutes before medics saved his life with the magic spray.
Yall are cute :)
- Comment on Yooka-Replaylee! | Reveal Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Sadly, I don’t think ray tracing is going to fix how boring this game is. I also backed the kickstarter because I’m a huge Banjo Kazooie fan. I started this game 3 separate times and could never will myself to get more than halfway. Not only is the gameplay uninteresting, the writing just doesn’t have the same charm as the BK games
- Comment on XDefiant Hits Around 8 Million Unique Players in 1 Week 4 weeks ago:
Warzone, COD’s battle royale mode, is free to play and seems to have surpassed normal COD multiplayer in popularity. Talking to randos while playing normal COD multiplayer, a lot of people say they’re just playing it because it’s a quick way to level up their guns for use in Warzone
- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 weeks ago:
Lots of people ITT complaining that Lemmy is blanket anti-business, meanwhile I’m just surprised that something involving Nintendo isn’t being downvoted into oblivion
This place is getting more diverse, I like it

The dual stage triggers made it the dream controller for Rocket League IMO. Mapping boost to the second stage freed up my right thumb to control other things

The amount of downvotes this has makes me worried about Lemmy’s sense of humor

There are different kinds of infinity
“Countably infinite” means an infinitely-large set of numbers that could be generated by infinitely following an algorithm with a finite number of steps. For example, integers/whole numbers are countably infinite because they could be generated by following this simple algorithm:
- Start with the number 1
- Add 1 to your number
- Repeat step 2
The set of real numbers, on the other hand, is uncountably infinite because you can have an infinite number of digits after the decimal place. You can’t define a finite generation algorithm like the one above simply because any precision you use wouldn’t cover the full range. In other words, if you wanted to modify the above algorithm, and chose 0.1 as your starting number, your algorithm would miss 0.01. If you chose to start at 0.01, you would miss 0.001, and so on

- Comment on First Look: Smiling Friends Season 2 2 months ago:
This was such a refreshing show tbh. 90% of Adult Swim shows are just grotesquely drawn characters doing gross things because “lol shock value is the best it’s so edgy XD”
Smiling Friends still has the weirdness of a late night cartoon but also finds ways to mix in cuteness, silly humor, and general positivity (like when they lectured Satan about being stuck in a dopamine loop… hit a bit close to home)

Finally, a DORONKO-type action game
- Comment on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom devs explain why it was a much bigger overhaul than you'd think 2 months ago:
As a lifelong Zelda fan, I’ve never cared much for the stories of Zelda games anyways. Like Mario games, they’re always incredibly simple placeholders that boil down to “princess gone, defeat evil that took her”. These games got their start when that was the only story that you could fit on the cartridge anyways, so I could see why Nintendo would want to keep that spirit alive.
Plus, in an open world game, is story really that important? I’d rather have the excellent gameplay of TOTK than something like Red Dead 2 which is a great story with excruciatingly boring gameplay.

1 decent exclusive every other year
Absolutely hyperbole. Just last year, we got Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4, and Advance Wars Reboot. Doesn’t matter if these aren’t your kind of games, they sold well, were critically acclaimed, and won awards.
lag behind the industry by 5-10 years
For graphics, sure. For creativity, accessibility, and all the other things that matter in video games? They lead the industry
- Comment on Activision/Blizzard QA workers form the largest US video game union yet 3 months ago:
This is hilarious because the latest Cod update prevents some Xbox players from booting into the game if they have a headset plugged in
Just another group of people that are gonna give unions a bad rep, I’m afraid
- Comment on Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma Doesn't Really Care About the Series' Chronology 6 months ago:
I always thought it was reincarnation of a group of ideal, godlike people
I don’t think I’ve met a true Zelda fan that cares much about the grand timeline(s), or even argues they make sense
- Comment on How can casinos stay open when they lose so much money? 7 months ago:
For those missing the joke: slot jackpots usually have odds of winning of like 1:1000, so every thousandth person should win…
… if you don’t understand probability. Games on a slot machine are mutually exclusive, so those odds apply to one independent game, not all games played as a whole

Only played the second one, loved it. Is this worth a shot or would it just feel like a stripped down version of 2?
- Comment on Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming. 8 months ago:
This is actually related to real marksmanship technique – you don’t literally want to pull the trigger with your trigger finger, you actually want to squeeze your whole hand, which indirectly results in pulling the trigger but with your hand applying tension in all directions instead of just backwards, reducing overall movement of the weapon during your shot
- Comment on Wish | Official Trailer 8 months ago:
You know what I think would be cool? If Pixar was the taking-risks-branch, while Disney proper released low-risk content based on their main IPs like Mickey, Star Wars, etc. But Disney seems set on making “new” IPs/universes which are half-baked copies of past successes (looking at you, Elemental)

- Comment on Sabotage Studio initially projected sales of 250,000 copies of Sea of Stars in the first year. They hit that target within just a week. 9 months ago:
I never really liked turn-based RPGs until I became an adult with a full time job because they’re perfect for when I’m burnt and wanna play video games but I’m also too burnt to play most games.
I imagine there’s a lot of millennials/early gen-Z that feel the same way. A whole market that is just starting to be tapped

even when I’m home, my switch is in airplane mode unless I’m actively playing online. it’s crazy how often some games try to phone home, never realized until I got into this habit and started seeing the “please turn off airplane mode” popup

- Comment on The wait between major video game sequels is getting longer 10 months ago:
and that’s perfectly fine? As a Zelda fan, the wait for TOTK was absofuckinglutely worth it
I swear to god, I don’t know how anyone could be impatient about this. Have you played every other video game that’s been released during the ~50 yr history of video games? No? Ok, go play one of those or touch some goddamn grass
