Thanks for the heads-up! For anyone that’s confused like I was, turns out this is the same game as Bloodborne Kart, just changed enough for legal purposes. Considering it started out as an April Fool’s joke, it seems really high quality so far and I’m appreciating all the Bloodborne references!

Wow, thanks for setting that up! Just ordered an A4 print :)

Could you accept a world where someone does it intentionally as a joke?

[–] EK13@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I really like this! Do you sell prints anywhere online or anything like that?

It seems that Spotify doesn't accurately count plays for tracks under 30 seconds. I had a look through some of the albums I know of with short tracks and here's what I found:

In fact I found the MGMT album 11​•​11​•​11 has a 26 second long track with no reported plays.

So while it's probably true that people are listening to fewer full albums than they used to in the days of vinyl or CD, it seems more likely to do with Spotify only paying royalties on tracks over 30 seconds and the discussion surrounding that.

Am I blind or are none of these actually offered by Proton themselves?

I’m glad this is being brought up. As the article mentions, one of the affected games was the Ghost Trick remaster which received a 5.6GB update with no explanation. It was only through data mining that people realised Denuvo was removed in favour of Enigma.

The worst part for me is that Enigma lives up to its name and people have been left guessing about where it’s coming from. Some people think it’s Capcom’s in-house DRM while others are linking it to some Russian company with the same name that Capcom may have partnered with.

As I understand, this DRM has already been cracked so it’s not even stopping people who want to pirate the game. On the other hand, I love Ghost Trick and I wanted to buy gift copies for some friends over Christmas but this move really put me off.

Yeah I’m not sure if they’re in a different region or something but Slay the Spire is also definitely not < $2 for me - I wish it was!

I think we’re looking at the same video then, the one with less than 10,000 views after 24 hours. Yeah that video isn’t a real trailer, it’s just using recycled clips from the first film and guessing what might happen in the second one

I have no idea what the context for the photo is but I assumed they wanted their printed paper signed

You’re right about the sequel being announced but do you have a link to the trailer? The only videos and articles I can find still seem to be speculative.

Pretty sure it’s a joke based on the way the headline was written which makes it ambiguous whether the 12 year old was in the forklift or whether the police chasing him were in the forklift.

If you enjoy rhythm games, Melatonin is worth looking into. It’s like Rhythm Heaven but with a lo-fi, mellow feel. What makes me want to recommend it here specifically is that the game has a custom display setting calibrated for the Steam Deck’s screen which I thought was really cool!

The game itself isn’t that long and can be beaten in a couple of hours but there are of course harder difficulties and perfect scores to aim for which add some replay value. I personally really enjoy the soundtrack which helps too since it does feel a bit too short otherwise.

If you enjoy the aesthetic, but struggle with rhythm, the game also has accessibility modes that help you to get better with the timing instead of just skipping the level entirely.

Hi everyone, I'm really grateful for this community but I wanted to see more content here so I thought I'd try to keep the ball rolling myself.

My intention here isn't to reveal some obscure hidden gems but to share my experiences with games from my library that I enjoy specifically on the Steam Deck. If people like this kind of content I plan to share more games over time and hopefully inspire others to do the same!

Today's focus is the game GRIS. You can find it on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/683320/GRIS/

  • Steam Deck Verified ✅
  • ProtonDB rating: Gold
  • How Long To Beat (Main Story): 3.5 hours
  • Biggest Steam sale discount (3 months): -75%
  • Size on disk: 3.25GB
  • Battery drain after 30 mins (max brightness, WiFi off, 60fps): 8%
  • Single Player
  • Full controller support

This game is a beautiful, tranquil puzzle platformer. Every frame of the game feels like artwork and even in handheld mode the game looks stunning. I will say that on the Deck's screen size, it can be a little bit hard to see the character at times and the game really thrives when hooked up to a bigger screen.

Gameplay is slow paced with a focus on exploration and puzzle solving so it may not be to everyone's liking but it's worth checking out if you are looking for a more relaxed experience and enjoy the art style!

 

This is probably old news to most people but I'm posting here in case it helps anyone else! Turns out there's a power management setting you can disable that really improved the wireless reliability for me.

You first have to enable Developer Mode in Settings > System. Then you should see a new menu right at the bottom of the settings list called Developer. Under Miscellaneous you should see the option Enable Wifi Power Management.

Turning this off completely solved the problems I was having with Wifi being either really slow or dropping out completely to the point where it was almost unusable.
