I don’t think you should be allowed access to the source code unless the developer wants you back there.

You don’t buy a hamburger and get to take home the cookware.

I mean…

I haven’t read anything about a console “beating” my deck, I’ve not really kept up with consoles since getting my deck.

I’m not upset if something sells more than the deck, it’s a different environment, should I be annoyed i-phones are more popular than the deck?

I don’t think Nintendos success will have any bearing on the next deck, be it design, marketing or release window, if anything the Nintendo coming out right now is great holdover/low market time between the deck and whatever comes next. If anyone was looking to buy new hardware right now it would be apt to compare the two products as the Nintendo would probably have better hardware, even though the product you get is so much different that 9 times out of 10 the honest & correct answer is ‘deck’.

Whatever is driving this theory/controversy is baiting for your attention. I’d recommend taking it with a grain of salt and focusing on the bigger issues right now (especially if in America)

They need to fix their community ui, that you still can’t search on their forums is a colossal oversight on their part

Should be on patient gamers as well.

But I’m not holding my breath. Also if this person had any connection with valve they probably don’t any more.

I assume “tutorial boss” is the one you’re required to kill on any new character, before you can access the first city, the one that any first time player might have trouble with, but once you’ve done it once it’s never going to take you down again.

Edit,

The death in the video they posted was the first “boss” after the first city, also pretty pathetic to lose to, but not a required (tutorial) fight. Seeing his mechanics there it wouldn’t surprise me if the hillock (or whatever his poe2 counterpart is called) killed him.

Second edit

Musk died to one of the game’s tutorial bosses due to a bad connection, which subsequently concluded the stream, ending another sad, weird data point in the Elon Musk fake gamer saga.

The entire thing was a publicity stream for how reliable star link was, seems like if he’s dieing to early game bosses because of connection issues star link might not be suitable for gaming on…

Last edit, he died 3 times to the tutorial boss, at that point it’s connection issues and lack of skill.

Wow I’m in early on this one!

Very nicely put together, as usual! Your consistency and effort is enviable!

Probably would recommend avoiding dredge XD

Cat fishing (maybe it’s called fishing with cat?) glad you already did for detective, cat quest 1-3, trine is pretty laid back, Thomas was alone, undertale,

You scared me with “Xbox games pass games leaving”, I thought Micro$oft was pulling support, I know there’s rumor of them trying a handheld console.

Steam gave a user 4,000 in free games, but his library is valued at 372k? 37k games… That’s like 30 cents per game? I feel like wherever these numbers came from is kinda wonky

I think you missed a word in paragraph 4, “got press attention even though, in a lot of cases, they had a large player base” I believe you meant to add a negative before “got press attention”, or got little press attention

Octodad with world of goo vibes?

Idk if I trust these guys with numbers…

‘three key principles: get in early, build it right; pick the right battles; and guidance, not control.’

As well as there being 4 of them, I wonder which one isn’t the friend… Unless it’s a joint announcement from the 4 of them simultaneously “hey I have 3 friends”

Downloaded the shin magami tensi 5 demo,

Have never played any of that series.

Read it was a bit like persona (could never get into it because I don’t care about managing the day to day activities of a high schooler), was pretty happy to learn that it wasn’t (at least as far as I’ve gotten), it reminds me of the game boy color game ‘dragon warrior monsters’

I thought about buying it, but I have so many unplayed games already, and while I enjoy a good monster collector game, I couldn’t justify pulling the trigger.

Also it was a bit too similar to persona, when it did go on that direction, for me to be confident it wouldn’t jerk back in that direction.

Maybe when I have all the time in the world I’ll put time and money into that game, for now it’s a half completed demo on my deck.

Defenders quest 2 just released after 10 years of development! I’ve been having a very enjoyable time with that, the initial launch was rough on the deck but the first patch worked out the interface issues it was having.

Infinitode 2 (I guess I have a thing for tower defense games)

And some ‘tiny rogue’

Also tried ‘cat goes fishing’, but a couple things are irking me about it, it’s enjoyable enough and was cheap enough that I’m not upset.

Fired up ‘prodeus’ for the first time since activating it from a humble bundle (I think?) it has all the good feelings of the original doom, it’s just a bit too stressful for me, especially at midnight when I tried playing it.

‘boxes’ is a kinda meh puzzle game, it’s a bit high on its own farts, if it wants to be as deep and philosophical as I think it does, it needs to have much better puzzles, but if I ignore the story and don’t think too much about the ‘why not just break the glass’ it’s an enjoyable enough game.

I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I’m pretty new to all this as well)

Congratulations on getting your instance up!

This was the one I came to recommend as well.

Most played is going to go to backpack battles thanks to my wife hitting it nearly every night.

Most surprising would be path of exile 2, I didn’t expect it to work so well right off the early access launch

Didn’t expect them to call out disgaea4 like that!

It’s been a while since I’ve tried it, so long that it worked when I last tried, but I’ve heard people were having trouble with it. You’d think there would be higher profile targets to announce fixes for, either that series is much more popular than I thought, or…

I have a full size and multiple 60%'s, they’re all very reliable, not the heartiest, but I had the first one for over 5 years, all of the screws stripped out of the back (from being repeatedly walked on by the dogs, rolled upon by myself), and it still worked. But using it became a chore so I caved and bought another to replace it.

Love my arteck gear, it’s cheap AF, but I can buy 5 or 6 for the price of 1 nice setup, and I don’t worry at all about it being trashed in transit.

The small keyboard fits just about any pocket my deck will fit into (yeah I travel in loose baggy clothes), and I have a really small collapsible kick stand for the deck as well.
