I would like to subscribe to more corporate monetization facts

Heroes of Might and Magic was my jam

I have an enclosed CoreXY printer. There’s a lot of variety in filament affordability, so I’m working my way through the (cheap) stuff on Amazon, slowly but surely. The 3DF branded ABS used here looks nice but was wound like hot trash. I ordered three rolls and I think I need to return two of them.

Any particular brands you’ve run that have been consistently good? I’m eventually going to try the good stuff like Polymaker, but I can get two rolls of play material for the price of one nice roll.

I really should have mentioned that this isn’t a conventional bento box. It’s a DIY filer unit to cut down on some of the ABS and ASA nasties that come with printing.

The usurper delivered us from the evil that was cable or nothing.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the enemy. The cycle must repeat

I share your thoughts. Feels like for better or worse, this generation has exceedingly few true console exclusives. The Xbox ecosystem offers more sales in my corner of the world plus the option for gamepass if you’re so inclined, so it seems like a better value.

I finally picked up a PS5 on sale for a family holiday gift. I originally wanted to grab one for VR, but the longer I hold off, the more I’m seeing that it’s simply not a competitive package for that gaming space. I don’t have a gaming computer, so I’m limited to a few options, but for what my kids are interested in, a Quest 3 just offers more.

It’s kind of dumb. I want to spend my money on VR, but I don’t want to waste it. It’s a bit of a catch-22 where the ecosystem needs supporters now to grow, but people like myself don’t want to support it because it hasn’t grown (to meet the competition’s offerings, anyways)

It would be great if Sony would commit to its own creative endeavors.

The PSVR suite has some great potential, but outside of like… 3? first party games, it doesn’t have anything that you can’t find elsewhere. And for the titles that are available on other platforms, they tend to be updated more frequently or are otherwise more feature rich elsewhere. There’s a lot of power behind the platform, but almost nothing to use it for.

PSVR 2 is not compatible with PSVR1 from the PS4, so all of your accessories and games don’t carry over.

The newly updated Meta Quest 3 can run standalone or linked up to a computer. I don’t expect Sony to ever open up compatibility outside of its ecosystem, but history has shown that Sony is fine with abandoning ideas that don’t immediately print money.

In the same vein that FPS games use WASD movement with mouse aiming instead of arrow keys or… other early control schemes, sure.

We’ve moved on to more ergonomic controls with custom keybinds for those who prefer something different. We get no choice with Katamari.

If we collectively decide that developers know best and that no changes to controls are reasonable or desired, then I’ll happily withdraw my request for an accessible Katamari game.

The users (specifically me) are just playing it wrong I guess.

Hard disagree on this. The controls could be 1000% improved.

I know, because I’ve purchased the same 3 or so Katamari games each time they’re rereleased and am moderately disappointed each time that they control like blind elephants.

Gotta include the cancer-analogue to IT cable management with its procedural generation

I’ll drink the half-full glass: accessible gaming hardware is more widely available than it has ever been.

Big corporation Microsoft bad, but as the article points out, they have been one of the major players in the accessibility field with hardware and software accommodations to help meet some of the common needs of disabled gamers. Valve’s platform allows for dynamic reprogramming of just about any key binding that I can think of to get around games that have their inputs hard coded in.

I see some Final Fantasy mentions, but I’m throwing Final Fantasy Tactics in particular into the ring.

• Great gameplay (min-max to your heart’s content) that will let the player fail. Also will let the player soft lock themselves and require loading an earlier save if they didn’t have “optimal” builds for some encounters…
• It has a story! That moves forward all of the time! Just let it happen and don’t think too much about it. You’re a mere mortal fighting up against gods at some point. Maybe?
• Great soundtrack! My personal favorites are below.
• Apoplexy
• Battle on the Bridge
• Antipyretic
• Trisection

Dislike. Tends to be flat and may harbor ants.

Don’t worry, it’s like like anybody uses 10+ year old OS versions which have been EOL’d for over 5 years. Definitely not a concern since Linux is FOSS and you don’t need costly contracts to keep up to date with the most basic of security updates.

I can personally attest to entire universities advocating for student use of powerpoint for all sorts of printshop work to include thesis and capstone presentation posters for conferences :)

For people who don’t want to spend time learning yet another single-purpose application, it works quite well

What happened next? Was he mocking you or telling a joke that he thought you would enjoy?

What a strange encounter

Different games
