That girl who plays Steam Deck and writes about gaming + Linux a lot
I do hope it eventuates, but…I’ve seen enough ‘credible’ leaks that its right around the corner to last me a lifetime
I hope it arrives for you, because RDR2 is a beautiful game, in its own slow way. Well worth replaying!
I’d love to replay, but I spent so many hours in it. Much like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, I think I can’t actually play any more of it because I played so much already
I’m a sucker for a slip-case, though. And this one looks really nice!
Thanks, Agent Karyo!
To me if it’s a new release of a game…of course it should be shared! The first person to post it (preferably with their own views on the game coming written underneath) keeps the community up-to-date with what games look like. Trailer ‘dumping’ really only happens when there’s a big event, and the point of that event is seeing trailers for games. It makes sense to have them shared here.
But posts sharing the same trailer after that first? Removed.
I don’t think of it as ad spam, because it’s not like Rockstar is making a Lemmy account to make sure we see the GTA VI trailer. If we denied trailers being posted, there’d be some very angry Silksong people when that one got the trailer!
Yes!
Okay so before 2 or so months back, I worked as a pen-tester (red team), so when I wasn’t breaking in to facilities, or convincing security guards that I was the CEO’s daughter or a worker who forgot their pass, I was typically on my desktop. Which left me some time to spend contributing to spaces like this community on Lemmy!
Since then though I had a bit of a health hiccup, and took time off. I’m still taking time off, and while I’m being as active as I can, I’m now with quite a bit of time to spend doing things like this, or writing the odd feat. article/interview and sharing it on my friend’s site - so maybe I’m lucky, in one regard?!
Right now I’m playing Red Dead on my Switch OLED, and Deus Ex Mankind Divided on my Steam Deck :)
Its easy, I just never sleep!
…help me
I see the OG Switch can be modded and looking into that, seems like you can actually push it to do 60 FPS instead of the 30 it’s locked into when you buy one if you overclock it.
You can! That’s the sys-clk! And it makes playing ToTK far less stuttery than it is without this!
You can do all kinds of things, but my fav has to be the ability to run your own themes on the Switch. I’m not sure why Nintendo refused to allow themes on the Switch, but something like themezer lets you customize the look of your home, menu, settings, lockscreen etc to your heart’s content:
The OG can be softmodded, you just need to slide a RCM ‘jig’ in the right-hand Joy-Con rail to trick the system into booting into recovery mode, and then you can inject the exploit. It’s dead simple, but it can get tiring - having the do the same process each time you shut the console down. Some users try using folded foil or a paperclip (all you’re doing is ‘shorting’, so it works), but I’d recommend the dead-cheap dedicated jigs people make before trying that one:
You can also install Linux (not so great) or Android on a partition for emulating weaker older systems, you can back your saves up, play with cheats, use texture packs, even use any bluetooth controller from any company with the Switch by using MissionControl and…well the list is long for things it can do!
Every single Switch can be chipped (whereas only original 2017 and some 2018 V1’s can be jailbroken with the jig) however, my OLED is by far my fav chipped console. I did it myself (but to do it you need to be VERY proficient in micro-soldering), with the ‘kamikaze’ method, using the Picofly. This means it never loses the exploit, and it can be shut down and rebooted without losing the ability to boot into both the stock side (regular non jailbreak side - for online games) or the jailbroken side, where you can be as hacky as you want (as long as you remember to block Nintendo’s servers from being able to see you!)
People take the scene to great lengths, they customize everything and it can end up being an artform. I love my modded OLED, but I’ve also jailbroken V1’s, and chipped the V2 and Lite. I love seeing what some people end up making:
It’s well worth looking into! If you’re after a cheap V1 to do it the cheapest way you can, look at Buyee. They’re everywhere in Japan and so reasonably priced!
The choice paralysis when looking at those numbers hits me hard
Thank you!!!
I’m really glad you found it interesting :)
Let me know how you find it when you do! Would love to see them :)
That’s very kind of you!
I haven’t been sharing so much of these articles or interviews I’ve been doing here lately, mostly I think because it makes me look like I’m inundating the place.
But that’s so kind of you to say, glad you enjoyed it!
It made me so happy to see a post from you again as I’ve missed seeing you around.
Thanks, Coelacanth! It’s nice to be back here :)
What an odd take to have.
I’m a little confused why you’d form a strong opinion on something you willfully refused to read. In fact, even my title for the article kinda gives it away. Or the screenshot.
Just…odd.
There is a actual dedicated Playdate fishing game, yes:
But in relation to my article, and their work on CrankBoy…you can watch how they added the crank to the fishing part of the original Link’s Awakening fishing section. This kind of thing is why I think Sodium and Stonerl are doing amazing work, because it’s so different!
Link to the crank being used for fishing in Link’s Awakening here!
Damn. That’s what I get for staying up all night, isn’t it.
Fixed, and thank you so much!
I’ve been addicted to Bioshock for so many years now. I do a yearly-ish replay of them (Infinite is my fav, which some consider sacrilege) and always hoped for more. They’re perfect Steam Deck games.
For now, I think the upcoming Judas will be a more dependable game to look forward to:
A disintegrating starship. A desperate escape plan.
You are the mysterious and troubled Judas. Your only hope for survival is to make or break alliances with your worst enemies. Will you work together to fix what you broke – or will you leave it to burn?
Judas is a narrative FPS developed by Ghost Story Games, a studio led by Ken Levine, Creative Director of System Shock 2, BioShock, and BioShock Infinite.
That’s really kind of you! Don’t expect to be inundated, it’ll be a weekly thing for whoever is in the fediverse scene, loves gaming, tech and so on, and wishes to contribute articles. I think it’s fun, so I’m glad you gave it a nod of approval!
Thanks :)
…are you lost?
I know its silly of me to care about down votes. This is the internet after all, and having thin skin on the internet is just crazy.
But the idea that you’re downvoting me for sharing news just strikes me as…insane. Do you not want me to share news on Lemmy? Do you think I’m the developer? If so did you not read this intro to the piece at all?
Again. Just stupid to care about being down voted, but if you’re one of those who have been, I’d love you to just speak up and explain why?
Amazing to see for a turn-based game, an original I.P. and and independent company!
