I don't know if I would say that quite yet, the devs have been absolutely killing it but Squenix management is still an absolute shitshow that still want to ride the crypto NFT train

The games being good probably doesn't register to them in any equation, just their good management at work.

If we were lucky we would get to play that duck tales pc game during a free class.

In elementary computers felt very different at school, we got to play games on them vaguely educational or not because just using a computer at all was educational at the time, some of us as kids knew more than our teachers about computers which also often held true later too I guess.

My stepdad was getting a compsci degree when my mom started dating him and I liked him immediately because he had a huge poster of the pink Floyd butts on the wall and the most advanced computer I ever used at that point with windows 95 or something compared to the donated floppy disc Apple ][s from school. Some 3D dinosaur disc he had was burned into my dreams for a long time. I can still see the fleshless t rex in my mind.

In elementary school, we had a computer bus that would come around once a month and we would mess around with BASIC and also I now remember that we would occasionally get time with Maniac Mansion but the teacher had printed out step by step instructions on how to play, like literally "pick this character, type this command, do this action" and it was very confusing as an elementary school aged child.

That game was even confusing when I discovered it in middle school on a random relative's old computer. I got further than the family whose game it was, and I barely got inside before finding some weird way to die and lose lol. I think the Homestar Runner adventure games are the only old schoolish ones I've ever seen the good ending to.

Lol I stopped actually playing it the day I found out you could directly edit the art files and then distribute them easily to the other kids playing. I would just edit it to whatever dumb poo poo made us laugh and take requests and edit them in MS Paint or whatever we had. There was another kid who liked editing em too but he liked playing more and was way better at Soldat.

Your clever trick wouldn't have worked so well with the abominations distributed in that classroom.

There's some charm to the directness of having a list of verbs and using them in conjunction with stuff in game, it's seems really intuitive at a glance.

Then you're playing and it's suddenly all "I don't know how to get key" and what the hell do you mean it's right there just get it. Okay fine pick up key then, "pick up what" my rear end don't be like this I wanna unlock the lock the key goes to that is right there please I smashed the drat pumpkin riddle.

They were scared they'd end up in my courtroom where I'd rule Nintendo has to hire Yuzu devs to develop the official Nintendo PC store.

making yuzu is labor but, having a high dollar patreon with exclusive builds for your current generation console emulator and at one point charging for online support is by far the dumbest possible thing you could be doing

the totk stuff is bullshit because that version of yuzu couldnt play totk but still, lol

Nintendo charges a monthly fee for access to emulated games and for online services. They don't service PC despite literally everything they make demonstrably working, often better, than on native hardware.

Nintendo refuses to provide service to some customers because they rely on games people made(and that Nintendo regrettably has any authority or control over) being made exclusive to Nintendo hardware even, despite that hardware not even being the ideal hardware for the software library.

Sadly yeah seeking fair compensation for what you provide to consumers is exactly how Nintendo crucifies people and projects, but that's hosed up, that should not be something a legal system allows or encourages. Yuzu people were doing consumers good, shoring up where Nintendo is being a ratshit company using the same cutesy family friendly veneer Disney uses.

The right response to Yuzu would be for Nintendo to buy it and begin distributing Nintendo games on PC or other platforms and collecting the profit from sales of games.

the problem is, people are very stupid and also making webpages is lost knowledge

I used to make my own websites just fine using Frontpage and Dreamweaver. I can't properly code, but I could get the site to look like how I wanted. Nowadays I really don't know what the gently caress to do, even the stuff I looked into to make it a lot easier and visual seemed like themselves huge headaches I couldn't figure out in one go. I found some janky oldish thing to do it how I knew how and ended up with a website that doesn't work on phones and I also get some certificate earning like it's a shady website, but really I just hosed something up somewhere with certificates Im sure.

Then if I had a working website who would go to it and how would they find it.

I love Dune but I've never thought it would be a fun game. Even the fun dune game that invented RTS felt like sandy Warcraft more than dune to me. I can just enjoy games that have a big sand dune area and sandworms. Tremors is the more reasonably gamified sandworm game.

theres lots of good dune games, even beyond dune 2. there's like three amazing dune board games at this point that perfectly recreate the feeling of the books. there's a really good dune ttrpg out right now. dune spice wars is sick, dune 1992 is, an interesting and fairly unique adventur game

I was looking to buy one of those old dune board games because I couldn't find any good pictures of the cards. My buddy has a different dune game with an amazing cover or box, haven't played it though.

they made a third edition of that 70s dune game that cuts a lot of stuff out in an attempt to cut the playtime in half and puts timothee chalamets face on the box thats, quite frankly fail, however. what a downgrade. think it exists mostly out of publisher jealousy that imperium is the better playing game, and forgetting that people specifically love how weird and hostile the 70s game is


I get cross promotion, but think ahead a little. People are still sharing designs from 50 years ago. If the modern tie in had done some cool illustration, it would still be something people would appreciate in the future. Now it just looks like anything they print the movie poster stuff on, I've seen tie-in cups with more intentional use of design space, it's under some sink somewhere.

Lol I had 2 normal LotR books but Return of the King was the really bad movie cover edition. Or maybe it was a combo edition I finished Return with, because it was only the first movie coming out.

I bought myself a cool edition later, but it got waterlogged along with an original commissioned KC Green comic when the mini fridge in dorm leaked or defrosted and soaked into my packed up boxes. Ruined like a dozen Terry Pratchett books too.

Book design is an art form and craft of its own. It's important in function and feel and how it looks. A good book deserves a good cover and binding.

The best books deserve heavy locks and chains and guards properly wary of the ancient forces contained within.

Switch and 3DS emulation is probably going to stagnate for a bit.

On the bright side, Ryujin yet lives and both Yuzu and Ryujin can both run all the Switch games unless one came out today then maybe Yuzu can't play it anymore. Switch life cycle is coming to an end anyway, can't even think of any specific Nintendo game I'm waiting on anymore.

Here's hoping the launch Switch 2s are easily cracked and an emulator is made with upmost swiftness.

Why make a product people can enjoy of a type that by its nature cannot be oversaturated? We could instead take a heavier investment risk in hopes of winning the same lottery that barely any companies have won in a massively oversaturated market.

I'd say they were going for the long game because when the current young generations who have been conditioned from birth by these sorts of casinos will turn into adults who want to feel some.nostalgia while also whaling for all the crap they couldn't get as kids... But our dear capitalists cannot see, act, or plan further than they can fling their own poo poo.

I never forget the big worms, but they are characters/metaphors/vehicles/weapons/forces-of-nature and ideally playable so I left em out of the set piece list. I cannot dispute they can also just be amazing set piece components too.

I wound up lookin up some of the sites to see if they had kept at it outside of geocities and found a few people who used to make dolls or pixel art still making stuff. Found a bunch more that kept at it up[ until some point but then abandoned site to the void or left it up with broken links or photobucket fillers.

The good news is if they ever lose the license they can just change the files they got from the dune website promotional webkit. Making your game legally distinct from an IP even if you have that IP is pretty clever long term planning.
