SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressmanEnglish14·12 天前-
No job, grind away the entire waking day with a low paying zero hours contract while filing job applications, No videogames, no relaxation, more stress, costs healthcare providers more

No job, spend some of the day working while filing job applications, Yes Videogames, relaxation, lower stress, costs healthcare providers less
Yet another case where if the politician seriously thought about the issue for just half a minute they’d realise their attitude makes no sense.

SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•This is the coolest pricing gimmick I've ever seen: the colder the weather is in London, the cheaper this videogame getsEnglish141·2 个月前This clever pricing system is only available on Itch.io, […] It is also on sale on Steam until March 7, but that price doesn’t fluctuate.
I thought steam had some sort of t&c agreement where you had to price all copies of a game the same no matter the store they were on. surely this would violate those rules. or am I misremembering that?
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Warner Bros. is closing Monolith, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, and has cancelled its Wonder Woman gameEnglish3·2 个月前“Key franchises”? And they don’t think WW is a key franchise? Out of all their films from the past few years, the WW ones have been some of the best. If they don’t want to do anything with it, they don’t deserve the IP.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Europe@feddit.org•Germany's Left Party wants to halve billionaires' wealthEnglish271·3 个月前The biggest challenge with an “owned wealth” tax is how do you actually measure it? It’s easy if it’s held in cash in a bank, but most billionaire’s wealth is is land, property, and how do you measure the value of a Picasso stored in a vault if they can slip the valuator a grand to say it’s worthless?
Closing offshore money transfer loopholes, heightened tax on luxury spending (100% VAT on private jets and yachts?), making fines income-based, and treating capital gains the same way as income, are all more achievable.
I’m totally on board with the sentiment though.

Building enough homes to house people would cause supply to meet demand and make the housing market “crash”. And Labour will never upset those who’ve been tricked into thinking that home property is an investment.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•What gameplay systems or game mechanics do you enjoy?English2·3 个月前I’m not sure if this counts as gameplay mechanics or rather narrative structure, but games like Outer Wilds, Fez, Tunic, where the exploration and discovery of the game is the end goal of playing the game, not just getting to the game’s end state.
I’m not sure if there’s an accepted term for these games, but I’ve always thought of them as “archaeology” games. There’s a bunch of stuff, both plot and gameplay, that is hidden (sometimes in plain sight), until you discover it and find out what meaning it carries.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 20th1·3 个月前It’s honestly not amazing. It’s a third person shooter across multiple different levels of built up environments, offices, corridors. The enemy AI is pretty terrible, and although there are different tactics you can use to “hack” and take over enemies or melee, it’s usually just easier to shoot.
But the parkour style navigation stood out. You can do wall jumping, which I was not expecting, and there are hidden pickups you can explore and find. And the open environments are nice (the corridors can feel a bit samey after a few levels).
It feels like one of those tie-ins that, had the dev team had more time to explore, balance, and really make it into its own game, might have been really good.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 20th7·3 个月前I’ve downloaded some old PS2 era games. Some of the gameplay is quite dated, but I really enjoy the retro feel of the environments and graphics. Perfect photorealism isn’t always necessary to enjoy a game. I’ve been playing Burnout and Ghost in the Shell SAC.

If you are going to make me put a coin into a cart because you don’t trust me to be an adult and tidy up after myself without being nannied, then I am going to do my damndest to bypass your lock and leave a mess out of spite.
In the shops where I am trusted and not required to pay a coin (I never even carry cash these days) I tidy up because that is the decent thing to do.
SpaceScotsman@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Seagate launches 30/32TB capacity Exos M mechanical HDD (30/32TB capacity)English3·4 个月前“The two models, the 30TB … and the 32TB …, each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk”. Well, yes, I would hope something advertised as being 30TB would offer at least 3TB. Am I misreading this sentence somehow?
To all the people saying they should release server source code: You don’t even need to do that (as nice as it would be). At the very basic level all that is needed is:
- remove DRM (which probably cost more effort to add in the first place)
- a description of the API for any online components (which any decent dev team will already have internally documented)
