misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•It’s 2025, Why Are We Still Getting Multiplayer Games Without Crossplay?English54·5 days agoIt sounds like you take more of an issue with existence of aim assist rather how it is balanced in particular games. Crossplay is beneficial because it increases the player pool, game longevity and (to the best of my knowledge) is usually optional, no? One would assume that aim assist is tuned to provide a fair challenge to users with different input devices and that in an actual competitive setting that wouldn’t be of any relevance anyway.
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•It’s 2025, Why Are We Still Getting Multiplayer Games Without Crossplay?English46·5 days agoI’m glad I don’t play games to earn respect of others, what a miserable way to have fun.
It’s FPGA and plays ROMs so I think it’s just more financially prudent to get a MisterFPGA - a much more versatile system that’s about as accurate. I’m rather confused about most of those single platform FPGA systems like new Commodore or Analogue 64 - do you really want to swap physical media? I’d understand getting this for aesthetics but at this price point? Hard sell for sure.
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•It’s 2025, Why Are We Still Getting Multiplayer Games Without Crossplay?English199·5 days agoYes, let’s call other gamers monkeys based on platform of choice. Kneejerk reaction would be to call PC gamers the most toxic bunch but I know it’s just a loud basement dwelling minority thankfully.
misk@piefed.socialto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Police seize supercars worth more than £6m in crackdown on antisocial driving in LondonEnglish211·6 days agoUnfortunately I think it was more that they were stolen from rich people rather than being a nuisance to poor people who have to coexist with those pointlessly noisy hunks of steel:
Several stolen vehicles were recovered, with 10 others found to have no valid MoT and 11 without road tax.
Also disturbingly close to a symbol used by Eastern European nazis:
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Digital Foundry, the most trusted name in game console analysis, is going independentEnglish1·11 days agoThey were partially owned by Eurogamer since the beginning. Eurogamer was bought by IGN last year although DF ownership situation was slightly more complex than that. This is the first time DF is truly independent.
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Digital Foundry, the most trusted name in game console analysis, is going independentEnglish4·11 days agoI did feel they went too easy on some corpos, especially nvidia with series 50, but also amd and iirc they barely said anything about the Intel gen13/14 issues.
As someone who’s been following them for ages now, my understanding is that they say what needs to be said and move on when it comes to things that are beyond their control - personal opinions are for their weekly podcast. They could criticise pricing and customer hostile behaviour more but they seem to be very cautious about not contributing to unproductive negativity that’s so prevalent in video game commentary. Ultimately it’s up to consumers to vote with their wallets because talking about things doesn’t fix them. Blaming journalists for not speaking against things enough is not going to fix them either.
misk@piefed.socialto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo briefly opened a survey to ask players their opinion on digital and physical games – could there be changes after the negative response to Switch 2 Game Key Cards?English13·11 days agoThe only negative response they care about is the one they will feel financially.
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Digital Foundry, the most trusted name in game console analysis, is going independentEnglish81·11 days agoI must be living in some parallel dimension where unstable 30 FPS was the standard through nearly the entire previous console generation, even in non-open world games, which was still an upgrade from PS360 days. I wished I lived in your time continuum though.
misk@piefed.socialOPto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo raises the Switch 1 price from $299 to $339 / The Switch OLED price jumped by $50 on Sunday, to $399.99.English1·11 days agoYou do realise Nintendo manufactures their stuff in Vietnam? Is it some rogue operation by Mecha Pol Pot or are you going to come up with some different head lore? xdddddd
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Call of Duty and Battlefield 6 will both require Secure Boot on WindowsEnglish1·11 days agoI’m not sure about Windows specifically
That’s quite an important omission because we’re talking about Windows. Windows won’t run kernel or driver that’s not using expected certificates, what would be the point otherwise?
misk@piefed.socialOPto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo raises the Switch 1 price from $299 to $339 / The Switch OLED price jumped by $50 on Sunday, to $399.99.English1·11 days agoHow did you come up with the idea that domestically produced hardware would have to be produced independently from Nintendo and not just Nintendo of America? xdddddd
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Call of Duty and Battlefield 6 will both require Secure Boot on WindowsEnglish1·12 days agoCan you really sign your own modified Windows kernel or drivers? I don’t think that’s how cryptography works.
misk@piefed.socialOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Call of Duty and Battlefield 6 will both require Secure Boot on WindowsEnglish62·12 days agoSecure boot requires OS kernel to be digitally signed so that’s just another way to prevent tampering. It’s not like those or any other games will be doing anything other than checking if it’s on because there’s not that much else it can be used for. Secure boot is annoying as hell if you use anything other than Windows though.
