Reno is an awesome town now, you should check it out.

Isn’t the game locked to 60?

So a lot of Java hate I think is mostly in jest.

Personally, Java was the programming language that I had to use for my first two years of college. It’s how I learned OOP, data structures, and algorithms. I had to use Eclipse, which at the time was AWFUL (and maybe still is, no idea). I remember it being semi-normal for it to take over a minute to launch on my (gaming) PC.

Later on, as I learned other languages and got a job, I just haven’t really had a reason to go back to Java, and most of my memories of it are from being annoyed at Eclipse and needing to implement Quicksort in it. I’m sure it’s a great language and I bet it’s a lot better and more convenient now. It’s just kinda trendy and weirdly nostalgic to hate on it in a half-serious way :) .

Sure, but Sony has shown that they’re happy to release some of their exclusive on PC. The Horizon and God of War games both got decent PC ports.

A huge portion of Fromsoft fans are on PC. It would be a day one purchase for pretty much all of them. That’s been the frustration.

Is he actually “super conservative”? Or are you just talking about the interview where he said he wasn’t progressive?

Isn’t the price matching requirement only when you’re giving Steam keys as part of the purchase from the other store? If Steam is going to permanently host and distribute the games, it’s only fair that the price on their store matches the other places you’re selling keys

Java has a lot of advantages, but that’s a crazy statement. I feel like literally everyone complains about basic stuff like public static void main, over reliance on factories and OOP, and just how much code you need to generate for some basic stuff. I’m not a Java hater, but I am glad I don’t have to use it anymore.

Yeah, we really don’t notice all the bullshit our parents deal with when we’re kids.

This was a great fun silly slasher story to play through with friends. It ran pretty badly on my PS4 at the time, so it would be fun to play it with a decent frame rate.

Pretty annoying that they’re still requiring a PSN account though…

This is a really common experience for a ton of VR gamers. The thing I remember the most is how white text on a black background (usually my phone) made it seem like the text was really 3D and coming out at me. It fades away but I’m sure we’re going to find out some interesting things about the brain from this phenomenon.

Oh I felt the same way about Bloodstained. I had no Castlevamia nostalgia and it just looked… dated.

Preferences are wild. I think the art looks gorgeous and the animation looks incredibly fluid. The art style doesn’t seem uninspired at all too me.

I love that DIA leaned so far into the conspiracy stuff. That and Blucifer still being around make me think that the people in charge have a bit of a sense of humor sometimes.

Publishers are usually the ones in charge of the store page and setting all that up.

It’s an awesome little device! You’ve got plenty of games to work through, but if you feel like trying a side loaded one, give my game Pogo Arc a try: https://thesambassador.itch.io/pogo-arc

It’s not a full dedicated gaming console that you’re spending hours and hours playing. It’s a toy that’s great for quick sessions and it’s really fun to develop games for. It’s very well made and the software is great.

It’s not a fair comparison to existing handhelds. It’s niche, and definitely not for everyone. Personally, I love it and think it’s just a unique toy that’s fun to show people. If you’d need to get X hours of gameplay to make it “worth” it to you, it probably isn’t your style.

It’s an enthusiast device. As a gamedev myself, it’s super fun to make little games for, and then you can easily show your friends/family. The limitations and unique input (the crank) lead to some awesome and interesting games.

I don’t really view it as a serious gaming device. It’s great for 5-20 minute sessions but it is basically a toy. I think if you’re interested in experimental indie games, it’s a great little device that’s absolutely worth it. It shouldn’t be directly compared to a “normal” game console because, frankly, it isn’t.

Honestly, and what a good episode!

How does Valve prevent you from controlling your own device? Their version of Linux isn’t locked down, you can fully customize it like any Linux afaik.

My position is literally:

-A person loses no humanity or respectibility by being overweight. Overweight people are still people.

• Overweight people deserve to have their concerns actually heard. Doctors often literally will not investigate some problems that overweight people ask about beyond “oh you should lose weight.” For some concerns, that may be a reasonable diagnosis, but there are plenty of actual medical concerns that are ignored by doctors in fat people.

• Shame largely does not work to get people to lose weight. For the people where it does work, it definitely doesn’t do it in a healthy way, and for most people it just makes losing weight harder. (I’ve seen a lot of people justify being shitty to overweight people because they think they need to feel shame all the time to change).

That’s it. It’s literally “treat people like people and actually listen to their concerns.”

Honestly, I’m pretty surprised that Lemmy already seems to have a bit of the “fat people hate” energy. People have a very specific image of a “fat person” in their head that they imagine when this stuff comes up, but all I’m saying is that people who are overweight sometimes have concerns that aren’t addressed by just losing weight, and those concerns are often dismissed because we value and respect fat people much less than skinny people.
