As a consumer we can use our choices where we spend to lead companies one way or the other. Spreading the word to not buy something is “doing something about it”. How effective it may be here in Lemmy, probably not very much, but it’s something.
The issue is that there is only 1 industry. And the end goal of ALL developers and companies is making money. The more the better. When other pools start seeing that pissong in the pool leaves them more money, than they ALL will start designing their games around this. It is this design choice that will infect pretty much all other games. The precedent it sets affects the whole industry.
And like you said before, the only way this is not an issue is if it does not generate additional money for them so that no other pools try to imitate. And this will only happen if nobody buys them. And this post is trying to dissuade those buyers so that this does not become rampart and then all games have it.
Extra credit for correctly using affect!!!
I think the analogy is that it sets a precedent. Now the other companies see how you can pee in the pool and folks are either cool with it (buy) or are on the other end (not buy but meh). Now the pool standard is piss filled pool and we will never have a chance to get into a clean pool anymore.
If you want to take a swim you have to do it in a pissed soaked pool because we never complained or did anything about it.
I use it mostly as a help menu. Details of the function and parameter settings. Also fixing errors. I don’t use it to generate code for me though.
You have my ax!
Control is on my backlog list. Thanks for the writeup. Now I know what to expect.
Using cheats for 1 player offline games is 100% OK in my book. I am an adult with so much responsabilties and little time to game. Sitting for 2 hours frustrated on something and not progressing is just not my idea of fun. Nudging yourself through with the help of cheats, easy mode or anything else is totally valid.
I have done this with a few games. Disgaea games come to mind… I know most of the enjoyment of those games comes from the grind to level up and get stronger to then grind some more… But I just couldn’t make myself fight the same level 25 times to earn enough XP to upgrade so I memory edited the values just enough to simulate me grinding for 2 hours in 5 minutes. Not enough to break the game but enough to get me through the grindy parts.
And any offline 1 player game that tries that shit will get memory edited right away.
Of course I will always try to do it the intended way, as long as it’s not annoying to me.
Demon Souls. Gadamn it’s good…
My dude! Thanks for sharing all of these. I don’t have a particular need and am able to buy myself games so I will leave for others who may not be as lucky as I am. But thanks for doing this!
Happy holidays!!!
That scene actually looks very real.
Here is a video on how they made it
OMG. I got 8.95% for a 25yr mortgage and it was an awesome deal. Market was about 13.5%. Your numbers are really just free money from where am standing.
This looks really cool. A proper metreoidvenia + prince of Persia action. Let’s wait for reviews, but keeping my eye on this one for sure.
So I used bings chat bot to summarize the article to the same length as the other bot and this is the result (you be the judge) :
!Carlos Vasquez, also known as Rattlehead, is a professional gamer who relies on sound to play Mortal Kombat. Carlos, who is completely blind, started playing video games at the age of six in 1992. He was diagnosed with a type of glaucoma when he was 11, which slowly took away his sight. Carlos relies on hearing the specific sounds of the characters to make his attacking and defensive moves. He is able to pick up on the distinct sounds of the characters and use them to his advantage. Carlos found that most mainstream games were almost impossible to play without gaming accessibility features. Back in his 20s, Carlos was able to play some fighting games, and in particular Mortal Kombat, because he was able to pick up on the distinct sounds. For example, he recognised that the character who started on the right side of the screen would grunt at a slightly higher pitch than the one on the left. This allowed him to work out which character he was playing¹.

Yes indeed. My cat also reacts to catnip. It’s adorable.
I just finished the game. It was a lot of fun. I found it a little slow at times and some QOL stuff might make it even better but it is still a great game.
Weird list…
This is an awesome tutorial. Thank you for sharing!
I have been working on a flask app that over 600 employees are now using. I am very new to the whole thing and have been able to put it together with help from tutorials and online documentation. This will fill some of the gaps I have been having.
VR?
Damn. I thought it was me, but scrolling through Everything & Top Day is just filled with rage bait and doom news. I rarely find something uplifting. And I usually find myself more anxious after reading through them.
I really want Lemmy to thrive, that’s why I am here, but I used to be able to filter all that shit in reddit and still have a bunch of funny dumb simple happy posts. If I do that here I get no posts back…
