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For what it's worth, he's been replaced by Richard Tyrer (director of Squadron 42).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

[–] Essence_of_Meh@kayb.ee 4 points 7 months ago

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".

[–] Essence_of_Meh@kayb.ee 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.

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 probably can't help with the hardware part but want to clarify just in case:

  • are you looking for an officially licensed one or just anything? I'm guessing the latter based on the "cheap" requirement?
  • are you looking for a gift or just a way for her to play those games?
  • if it's the latter, does she have a smartphone? any budget phone will easily handle this kind of emulation so she could just use that
[–] Essence_of_Meh@kayb.ee 4 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] Essence_of_Meh@kayb.ee 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.

 

TL;DW:

  • player will keep limited speed when jumping out of flying ship to EVA
  • we'll be able to partially disable the interaction prompt in 3.23, full disable planned for the future
  • EVA refuel automatic in atmosphere, med-pen like injections (not in 3.23 since no fuel consumption for that release)
  • weight will affect fuel consumption in EVA eventually, not in first implementation
  • "loot all" still available
  • can hold items while EVA
  • ability to "stand" in EVA won't be in 3.23, might come in the future
  • no mag boots for now
  • inner thoughts system stays for dialogs, cockpit interactions slightly updated
  • if you attach yourself to a ship with push-pull mechanic ship should be able to throw you off with enough force applied (possibly, still work in progress since it won't be in 3.23)
  • transitions from EVA to standing position should be pretty smooth and seamless
  • no melee takedowns in EVA for 3.23, just simple jabs and knife slashes
  • no customizable colors for the new interaction system but they are aware of need for accessibility options
  • different suits, armor, backpacks will have different EVA capabilities (not in 3.23)
  • you'll be able to use oxygen to EVA when out of fuel
  • weapons planned to affect EVA in the future
  • using MFDs should be a bit more precise, new focus mode planned for the future
  • attaching to surfaces while in EVA requires a button press, going too fast might play "recovery animation" preventing immediate movement
  • going too fast from EVA to gravity might end up with hitting the deck and dying
  • can still zoom in (hold F + scroll) during EVA
  • EVA really helped with prone movement
  • no changes to jumping out of ships in atmo
  • will be able to EVA inside ships (when gravity's disabled), also planned "hand-hold points" to jump between (not in 3.23)
  • SATA Ball was planned as a test bed for EVA implementation due to lack of PU, now it's just a lore curiosity (might happen one day but no plans for now)
  • parachutes are still planned not being worked on at the moment

Might have missed or mishear some stuff and skipped talk about most frustrating EVA bugs since I was noting things down while doing other stuff, should be most of it though.

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.

 

Intended for 3.23:

  • multiple distribution centers for various companies

  • outside locations:

    • landing pads
    • hangars
    • cargo elevators
  • inside locations:

    • lobby
    • offices
    • maintenance areas
    • warehouses
    • cargo shops
    • canteens
    • storage rooms
  • missions:

    • defense
    • hauling
    • theft
    • eliminate VIP
