Oh shit, that’s amazing! That could be a real learning opportunity for folks interested in starting game dev like me!

All fair. I haven’t tried either with the Deck, though that’s more because I don’t want to try games from either platform with a controller. I have had success running both on my Linux desktop, though.

This is just my experience, but I have had next to zero issues running games on the Deck that were related to the platform. Most problems I’ve encountered are along the lines of the game being KBM-centric and it being difficult to play with the controller inputs.

The only Linux-specific issues I can’t think of are related to trying to install or mod games outside of Steam (Skyrim in particular is far more difficult to mod on Linux than I expected).

Most users of Windows aren’t editing the registry, no matter what problems they encounter.

For power users that do use regedit, I’d argue there’s still a gap between that and using a shell. The registry can be edited entirely with the Windows graphical utility, after all.

Great point. I saw an interesting video recently that touched on this exact issue:

As graphics increase in quality, the desire for developers to fill spaces with clutter grows – which makes it harder to make meaningful levels with thoughtful design.

Irrelevant. This game is purportedly built using the original doom engine, while almost all other FPS games since Doom are designed with similar mechanics.

Looks like I’m in the minority, but I subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online. My wife and I enjoy the extra Mario kart courses and I personally enjoy the N64 virtual console.

Seems legit as a concept, though the author is giving weird vibes.

I’m not sure what “globohomo” means but it sounds like a 4chan homophobic term. Additionally the author says they wanted a search engine giving results without “political inclinations”, which reads to me as “reality has a liberal bias and I don’t like that”.

I’ll pass on this for now.

Don’t get me wrong, the only Libertarianism I’ve ever known is intertwined with Capitalism. But they aren’t the same thing, and I always read BioShock as being a take on Libertarianism specifically.

Capitalist utopia? Isn’t the whole point that it’s a Libertarian utopia?

FYI l: That’s the CEO of Arrowhead, who made the game.

What company, EA? When did people stop buying their games?

It’s unfortunately classic Lemmy. Every post has at least one person commenting something along the lines of “Why would anyone like this?” as opposed to, y’know, actually engaging with the content.

china’s biggest crime is making close to as much money as we do.

Nah man, I’m pretty sure the Tiananmen square massacre was a bigger crime. Not to mention their genocide of the Uighur people, their oppression of Hong Kong, their attempts to steal Taiwan’s sovereignty.

ETA: big thanks to OP for so clearly and concisely showing they’re a tankie.

Awesome writeup. I had heard that some very special individuals were trying to paint this company as “pro-woke”, and therefore any game they touched should be avoided – and that’s obviously going to be nonsense, but it’s good to see the full story.

No, this is clearly a joke.
