Yeah, I believe that. I want to make a Scorched Earth clone with an ATB system like Grandia, put it on mobile, and make a million bucks.

Dome Wars was my freeware Gunbound equivalent of choice back in the 90’s. It was fun at the time but so janky and weird and the animations didn’t always work. Gunbound was really fun and I remember getting pretty good with one of the trick shot characters but it took some intense play to get a fancy hat.

Holy poo poo Dome Wars, I would see guys playing some version of that all the time back in middle school.

Also if you're using mame you might need to try different version. They mess around with the emulator a lot, sometimes games will become more stable and sometimes they'll cut them out completely. I'm still using .139 because some game I can't remember (and probably isn't worth playing) breaks beyond that.

Yeah, I figure it's some configuration that I need to fiddle with but I didn't really dig into the settings. I use a Retropie and it has a few emulators for me to choose from, but instead of testing out what worked best I just jumped over to Bucky O'Hare to give that a whirl. I'll give it another crack tonight.

there's a bunch of EU states now looking at online gambling connected to games, primarily like those csgo skinner slot machines, but also lootboxes. one only hopes they'll come to the same conclusion belgium did.

There’s a large portion of people all over the world who own consoles to just get the latest EA or 2K sports game who sadly get manipulated by these micro transactions who see nothing wrong with it. The people calling this poo poo out who actually would boycott the games are such a small amount of the market who buys those games they might as well be a rounding error

FIFA makes up 40% of EA's revenue overall.

A huge chunk of the audience for these games only plays Madden, or FIFA, etc. and so the idea of buying a game + microtransactions doesn't read as that scummy to them

Hello it's me, the Heat Signature liker, here to give you some space news.

Heat Signature is a little over a year old now and they're preparing a big update next week, dropping details on new systems as they go. Expect there to be several new enemy types by the end.

quote:

The original idea for this update was to add optional extra challenge for those who found the late-game too easy, and we've certainly done that, but we also ended up adding just as much fun new stuff for players of all skill levels. Which is great for everyone, except the guy who had to come up with a name and theme for it yesterday.

There are more than 20 new features to tell you about, so we're going to be announcing a new one each day until the update launches on the 27th of September. That's in seven days. Don't examine our maths too closely.

Today they're dropping news on character traits which can give helpful or harmful characteristics to your randomly generated space pirates. The challenging traits can range from penalties (e.g. shaky: shots with firearms can go anywhere within 15º of where you aim) to game-changing debilities (e.g. dying: you have 10 minutes to live). With this, you can also reroll newly generated characters, so if you find yourself stuck with a bunch of useless sociopaths at the bar you can change it up and maybe get a useful sociopath.

If you don't own it, it'll go on sale on the 27th when this update drops proper.

You don't pay 60 dollars for a boxed or digital copy of a gacha, it's free and can remain free from start to finish. EA/2k sports games have an initial asking price that should be enough, with shifty lootbox nonsense on top of it. Like I know you pointed this out because you don't like me and aren't being genuine but at least use your head when trying to get sick owns.

Unless you’re an idiot you can just buy Fifa or madden and have fun playing it. All the lootbox stuff is for a specific game mode that you don’t have to play or care about.

Gaming is big. So big that you can spend a lot of time playing many different games and still relegate huge markets like Fifa/Fortnite/Mobile/MMOs to a giant nebulous trash pile that's out of sight, out of mind.
