Oh yeah I’d love such a thing!

You could log to one service and use it to give to every open source project, no matter if they use Patreon or another platform.

Still it would be sensitive to handle as there would be credit cards informations…

What I’ve created is a Firefox bookmark folder with the « donate » page of every project I wanna support.

I’m trying to force myself to forget about this game.

For me MGS ended with number 4. The prologue from MGSV was good but the rest of the game is just bad, without any deep and interesting story…

I fully agree! In Mass Effect 3 you really feel like a part of the crew!

In the others too but a tad less. Still walking around the ship has always been a pleasure that I haven’t really found in any other game.

The Mass Effect trilogy is so great and the Legendary Edition is perfect on Steam Deck. You can even lower the TDP to improve battery life and still get good graphics.

I rep’ayed them a few months ago and I was real’y impressed by the scale of it.

To be honnest, Mass Effect is some kind of Cyberpunk 2077 with better gameplay and story.

People don’t like the third one, but for me it was the best one.

Yeah but the Deck will be really interesting for this, since I play most of my games at 30fps with 7TDP when the Deck could perform better.

I guess, people doing what I do should not be taken into account…

Welcome!

Lemmy and the Fediverse are a perfect replacement for Reddit.

For Facebook I don’t know as it’s more about the willingness of people around you to try something else.

My son is pretty lucky as I’m the only dad around with a Steam Deck and a Playstation 5.

He didn’t even have to ask for these as I’m the one gaming the most.

I guess none of his friends is gonna get a Steam Deck or a Playstation 5 soon with the prices or the availability of these things…

The only good part is that maybe people are gonna learn to enjoy what they already have and devs could learn to keep developing games for old hardware.

It surprised me to see this. The good news is that apparently it doesn’t affect the revenue of creators…

Still, I don’t really know what to think about it as I’d just want the creators to move willingly to another platform.

To be honest it looks great and at first I thought about how impressive it is.

Then you think about how it modifies what was created and how it could lack consistency with a character looking a certain way in a part of the game and differently later.

I don’t know know what to think about these technologies like FSR and DLSS…

I don’t think I mind the fake frames as it could give you more performance on something like a Steam Deck, but the rest is tricky…

Interesting article. I think it would be really stupid to not reuse stuff if your game is set in a realistic universe (would be different for a cartoonish universe).

In fact, it would even be a way to avoid using AI (even if I think we’ll end up with devs reusing stuff and using AI).

Then you can use colors or lighting to create a different feel to the game, just like different movie directors can film the same place in a totally different way.

As you can see, I care about achievements: https://sh.itjust.works/post/56525516

As others have said, it’s a great incentive to go deeper in a game. It should just not become a grind and that’s why I don’t 100% a lot of games.

It can also make you remember what branch of a story you went for in a story driven game.

If it gives data to developer about how a game is played, it ain’t something I mind as the way I play isn’t a important privacy wise as other data.

What’s stupid is when people buy a game just because it has easy achievements though…

Oh yeah the Deck can be a quite powerful desktop computer if you enjoy KDE.

I use it like this from time to time after configuring to behave like Gnome, but I prefer the original flavour.

If I see that the game needs some tweaking, I’ll try 720p at 60 or 30 fps.

You can dock your Deck, but I think you should think about it as an underpowered Playstation 4 or a turbocharged Playstation 3.

I also think that the docking experience isn’t so fluid if you dock it to a TV and use a console controller. When it’s docked to a PC monitor and wired keyboard/mouse, it’s smoother as you have less configuration to do.

I use Joplin through some WebDAV with my cloud provider, kDrive.

Works perfectly once set up.

I don’t know if you could make it work directly from your phone to your computer though.

The voice chat isn’t activated on my kids account as hés clearly too young. I didn’t have anything to do to disable it, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable if he wasn’t playing Roblox in the luving room where I can see what hés playing.

Also he loves it when I watch him play so we get to share and discuss a lot about the games he plays.

I guess Roblox is a game where you have to have good parenting behind.

My son plays a lot of Roblox (1 hour a day at my place , way more with his mom).

At first I had a really bad impression about it because I thought it was just another microtransaction hell with pedophiles lurking around.

In the end, hés not really spending money and there are some pretty good and different games on the platform.

I also appreciate the fact that Roblox made him accept that you can play graphically simple games and have fun on cheap hardware.

So, while I’d prefer if he only played single player games on Linux or Playstation like me, I think Roblox is better than what people are saying.

I’m not saying it’s good for the game industry or consumer, but it’s almost better than an Nba 2k with its constant microtransactions despite paying for the game already…

Yeah I know. What I wanted to say is that it would be an incentive to buy one (and convert it to Linux) if they were losing money on every unit.

That would feel even sweeter if they were losing money on every Helix sold.

To be honest, my Linux daily driver is a Microsoft Surface Go 1 and it has served me well for the last 6 years.

Still it’s not what I’d get if I had to choose again.

So if I have to upgrade from my Steam Deck/Playstation 5 gaming combo, it’s probably be a Steam Machine, even if it’s way less poweful than Helix.

It’s a great game despite EA being behind it. I enjoyed the first one better, but I’m looking forward to the third installment.

New Star GP. I gave it to my son but ended up playing it way more than him as it’s a quite complex game for an arcade racer.

Still, I’m trying to find other games to divert him from Fortnite and Roblox 😅
