You’re not, but there’s a preexisting patent, and these three are basically extensions of that patent.
Essentially, Palworld needed to know what supplementary patents Nintendo was going to file in the future in Japan so they didn’t run afoul of the patent from the past. You know, textbook legal psychic stuff, really. /s
I hope Nintendo hurts itself in its confusion as its lawyers flail before the Japanese courts.
Man if that’s the case, that really sucks.
Tldr: it’s a crypto wallet stealer.
Always be wary of unknown code. Check comments on sites like Nexus. Run installers through virus checks.
Congrats, Australia! Hope y’all have lots of fun!
Alone. I don’t currently have friends that play it, but I still have a good time. Works great on Deck, and you can even make use of HDR settings, if you have an OLED version.
It’s a good time for SNES spiritual successors!
Mostly CrossCode. A fun little sci-fi action puzzler that pays homage to the SNES era of games. It’s similar to Spirit of Mana. Low power requirements, and it has a Linux-native version that works better than the Windows version (you need updated engine files if you play from itch.io).
I’m also playing a little bit of No Man’s Sky, but just here and there; I’m mostly playing that on my desktop.
Translation: We don’t feel like taking the effort to support Linux, so we need a scapegoat.
I played MH World a bunch, but I couldn’t get into Rise, either. A bit too cartoonish, and not just graphically.
In any case, I have a backlog of hundreds of games from bundles and freebies (including the Mass Effect trilogy, which I’ve not yet played), so it’s not like I’ll be having less fun by skipping Factorio. We all have limited time, and we’ll all miss out on some gems.
And if the dev wants to gate the game by constantly raising the price, he’ll lose out on players like me. His choice, but he’s leaving money on the table, and the rest of the games are picking it up.
Yep, that’s a good way to view games. I do that as well.
And that’s what some people have said. I’ll play the demo tonight, but even for lots of fun, I can think of other ways to spend $35, as that’s a large sum for me.
But who knows? Maybe it will knock my socks off.
Good. Long past time the AAA studios got what they deserve.
It’s that pricing model which has consistently kept me away. Lots of people like it, and it’s supposed to be really fun, but it’s not the only fun factory builder out there.
I’d rather get a good deal, and I’ve never (re)played a solo game for anywhere close to the thousands of hours some people have played Factorio. I might be missing out, but I can buy an entire bundle of games for that price and still have money leftover.
Well, at least not anytime in the near future.
I think you underestimate how patient some of us can be… 😉
Not saying that will fix things, but you never know!
I think the spirit of what I was trying to get at comes down to the idea that RT is important for some and not for others. I’ve seen and played some games that look bad with raytracing, though I’d say on the whole it’s been positive.
Like other techniques, it comes down to intentional design choices. Where to place light sources, how strong they should be, what kind of surface radiance looks good aesthetically versus how well it functions to light the scene are all factors to consider.
I think until it becomes a requirement, there’s space for everyone’s tastes.
I didn’t see you mention it, but have you connected it to the dock then checked for updates? The official dock gets its own set.
I’ve used RT in various games, and for some, it makes a positive difference in the experience (gameplay only, not fps) and for others, the difference is unnoticeable or even negative.
Nvidia is still the RT king, but it’s not like classic lighting techniques are bad, either. I’d give up my RTX 3060ti for a 6700XT in a heartbeat to have better Linux compatibility.
Freshly Frosted - Puzzle game. Seriously, I don’t remember the last time I felt so encouraged by the narrator. If you’re in a bad mental state, I do recommend this one.
Lost in Play - Two siblings go on an adventure through a fanciful wonderland of their imagination…or is it?
Spiritfarer - A chill management game where you’re Charon ferrying souls to the Everdoor. This one deals with death and saying goodbye to loved ones, but it does so in a very thoughtful and sensitive way. It definitely changed my paradigm.
A Hat in Time - Cute 3D action platformer. Silly fun.
Little Inferno - Despite its simplicity and obvious satire of consumerism/Capitalism, this has a very cozy feel and fun characters.
Tinykin - Adorable collect-a-thon platform puzzler with no enemies, only obstacles.
Gorogoa - Puzzle game with an interesting story that unfolds with each puzzle.
Doronko Wanko - You’re a cute doggo making a house as messy as possible.
Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People - Fun, silly point and click. I also recommend the show.
Tbh, if this is how Japan does patent law, it’s a wonder they have as much technological progress as they do.
