Not a bad episode but I find it really funny how Nate talked about Idris being "packed" - it's a space ship and a military one at that, shouldn't "packed" be the goal here?!

The official answer seems to be: CIG trying to get as many people to the Manchester office and he may or may not be unwilling to relocate. That's just my guess though.

GamesIndustry has additional comment from CIG on the matter.

For what it's worth, he's been replaced by Richard Tyrer (director of Squadron 42).

Iirc moonie also quoted legal statue and stuff on his video but was rebuked my Karl as well

Yeah, that's why I'm planning to look into whether that was a screw up or not, thanks for the link too.

I'm familiar with HBG but it's always good to mention him.

Yes, it is insane. That case is also a great showcase of how trying to make example out of a single guy doesn't really work since, as you mentioned, rest of the team is still doing their thing.

I'd like to think (well, hope anyway) that no one looks at Bowser's story and thinks "yeah, that's a reasonable conclusion".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Oh no, I completely agree no one should be completely screwed over piracy. Just wanted to add some context as I saw a lot of discussion about him ending with "poor innocent dude" without digging into details. That's all.

Nintendo has a lot of problems that should absolutely be called out. I hope me trying to add more details didn't imply otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

No idea, I'm only familiar with some of his videos so can't say one way or another. Is there any place I could read about it?

Edit: Also, I believe the video I mentioned has links to specific legal documents surrounding this case so it should be easy to fact check. Still, I'm not trying to whitewash the situation you wrote about would love to learn more if it happened.

Edit 2: A'ight, while I didn't have time for a deep dive I did manage to confirm that situation happened.

I sucks since the videos I've seen seemed reasonably researched and now I'm wondering whether that was a one-time screw up or a normal thing that simply wasn't caught more often. Guess I'll try to look into it more when I'm free.

As much as I dislike Nintendo and wish Yuzu devs all the best I'd like to point out that Bowser wasn't some innocent guy who was caught by big bad company - Moonie has a video that goes into specifics about his involvement with a pirate enterprise worth a shitton of money.

Other than that yeah, I hope they can survive this situation. I wonder if Ryujinx devs are next.

I'd agree about P3R if not for the fact that despite remaking the game Atlus still couldn't be bothered to make a definitive edition of P3.

Besides that, you could also argue P3P doesn't really belong here due to being available on Steam but the question was about our favorite games played on an emulator and PSP version is what I'm playing right as I'm typing this :P

Parasite Eve is great, isn't it? I wish we got more RPGs like this set in modern times.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I don't expect anything will come out this but I really appreciate Ross trying to give it an honest shot. I can't help since I don't own the game but I can at least cheer from the sidelines an lend my power for a spirit bomb.

Go Ross Go!

I've been using emulation pretty much since I started playing games. It's actually one of the main reasons gaming became my passion (and eventually major money drain).

My favorite thing? I don't have to shuffle different devices to play everything I want - it's even more importent now, since I have a Steam Deck and can have all of them on the go again.

Here's a short list of titles I love that don't show up too often in threads like this one:

  • Tetris DX (GBC / mGBA)
  • Fantasy Golf Pangya (PSP / PPSSPP)
  • Persona 3 Portable (PSP / PPSSPP) - just started NG+ with female protagonist
  • Puzzle Quest - Challenge of the Warlords (PSP / PPSSPP)
  • Ridge Racer 2 (PSP / PPSSPP)
  • Parasite EVE (PSX / DuckStation)
  • Captain Toad Tresure Tracker (Switch / Yuzu)

I'm not going to dump my whole library here but these are fun and rare enough worth mention.

 

TL;DW:

  • Distribution Centers will be more unique than bunkers (mostly visually, ownership)
  • initial release will only bring DCs on planets (and by planets they mean Hurston and Microtech)
  • more professions (mining, salvage etc.) could be tied to DCs in the future
  • DCs are big enough for hauling missions taking place inside them (without leaving the facility)
  • Jared acknowledged the need/hunger for non-combat content
  • no plans for abandoned/derelict DCs at the moment
  • no specific plans for roads, some generic ideas mentioned
  • DCs might be ownable in the future, no specific plans at the moment
  • DCs won't replace existing bunkers
  • raids are intended as end-game content (difficult, valueable rewards), won't release in 2024
  • another mention that DCs are REALLY BIG and players are underestimating the size
  • DCs vary by onwership, security etc (they're trying to explain how non-agressive players can use them without worrying about PvP)
  • DCs can be: friendly (available with neutral or better rep with the owner), hostile (shoot everything) or mixed
  • for 3.23 friendly DCs will have green zones to protect non-agressive players (just a stop-gap until law & order system improves)
  • they want to make the punishment for unlawful actions more severe and persistent (they have a lot of ideas, won't talk about them until trying them out)
  • suggestion for haulers worried about getting pirated to hire escort

Part 2 is about Forrest Stephan (Principal Technical Artist) - no point making notes, just watch it if you're interested.

 

From Feb. 27th, 5-star assault rifle 443 will be added to the production pool.

There's one tool for Lemmy but I never found anything similar for kBin unfortunately. Automatic account migration is also stuck as a planned feature for Mbin at the moment.

I'm afraid you'll have to do it by hand.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I mean, they're adding big box delivery so...

Jokes aside, non-aggressive unlawful gameplay could be focused on pure stealth, for example: to steal or plant something without being seen as an intended goal of the mission giver. Maybe add racing on a private property? It's definitely something more difficult to come up with and implement than just shooting people in a different location but they will have to do it if they really want to make the game into a sandbox for everyone and not just action players.

Sure, as the name suggests unlawful gameplay will always skirt the law, I just don't think everything has to be about murder. That's just me though, hopefully peaceful game loops will make their way into the game at a more reasonable pace after recent development shift.
