What about a GameCube controller? Still can’t use that on Linux (at least I haven’t figured it out).

I am morbidly curious

A lot of cool projects on here. I’m not actually a programmer so everything I’ve done is little more than a script. In high school, I taught myself python by solving project euler problems. Many of them involved prime numbers so I got increasingly good at making prime number generators. I was really proud of getting it down to just a couple lines of elegant simplicity.

Man I wish we had better terminology for this type of game. Roguelike and roguelite give the same energy as “Doom-clone” for every fps in the 90s. Later we called them FPS games. That genre has since been refined into tactical shooters, arcade shooters, milsim, etc. Meanwhile, we’re still stuck calling all games that have randomized runs “rogue-likes”. Being pedantic about the definition doesn’t make this situation better.

Me and my friends used to get high and play geometry wars on the 360. Lots of fun passing the controller around to see who can get the farthest.

It feels like there’s only two new games

That’s all Switch 1 needed in the beginning (Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild)

I doubt it. The Saudi-Arabian monarchy doesn’t invest in things because they want to make money. They do it for power, image, and influence in the world. They just threw a lot of money into the E-sports world cup in Riyadh. I think they’re buying what’s needed to make Saudi-Arabia a gaming hub. They’re doing the same thing with sports and racing and all sorts of entertainment. For that reason, I doubt they’ll strip EA for parts. All of the competitive games that EA makes will suddenly have tons of prize money and developer-backing for competition and E-sports. And the final big event will always be in SA.

Co-op/freelance > small business > large single-owner business > publicly traded business > private equity business.

The hordes of faceless shareholders is mostly regular people’s retirement accounts. It’s still a net-negative for society, but now it’s not even helping someone retire comfortably. With Saudi Arabia involved, that means it’s also going to be laundering the image of a monarchy.

A few years ago everyone was talking about how crown prince Bin Salman ordered the brutal execution and dismemberment of a journalist. Now the E-sports world cup is in Riyadh.

If it’s not a solid 10 minutes to load a map on my parents e-machines PC, it doesn’t feel like Battlefield.

Is that the one with the A10 and cluster bombs?

Holy shit it’s happening!

My weather app uses that for weather data. I’ve found it more reliable than other people’s apps.

The vid I linked to basically said that the game is ok but derivative and not that great. The main point he was making is to point out how the “controversy” around the game doesn’t actually exist. It’s a bunch of made up crap by grifters to make idiots foam at the mouth. And it worked. And now these idiots think Stellar Blade is the next coming of Christ and the bullwark against the woke mind virus games blah blah blah…

The reactionaries are the ones championing this franchise

It has an outsized impact by bringing awareness to this issue. It also could embolden other communities to take a stand against Saudi sportswashing.

You weren’t lying. I was looking for “knowledge” games similar to Animal Well and Outer Wilds and I saw some reviews making the comparison. Tbh, I was a little underwhelmed at first. I thought it was a good game but it didn’t feel like what I was looking for. But the back half really opened it up. Figuring out the mountain door puzzle was like a jaw on the floor moment. By the end I had several pages of graph paper with notes and sketches.

Just started tunic tonight. Good timing

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that some gamers absolutely love arcane bullshit. I think I’m going to give the game a whirl

You were more subtle than my friends. In the computer lab, we would just change “the” to “fuck”
