“finally” jesus christ, it’s been two weeks, give them some slack.

As an ex-journo, ouch.

But yeah, investigative journalism is dead. A press release is a valid source but it is the journalists duty to sift through the BS and corpospeak and convey what it actually means.

There’s too many sites that just paste a press release on a blog page and call it an article, but let me stop there before I digress even more!

I feel like there’s research paper potential here…

“gauging Battlefield’s launch success from observing Battlebit popularity - CluckN et al”

They consolidated their handheld and console departments into one to be able to sync the 3DS and Wii U releases better, and I guess that’s when it started.

The 3DS was still supported years into the Switch lifecycle and got games. Okay, maybe mostly remakes/ports, but the 3DS was still getting active support. They also launched the “New Nintendo 2DS XL” in 2017 and similar to the GB Micro in the sense that it was a cheaper version of the same hardware (or even less, considering no 3D).

But with all that being said, the elephant in the room is this: our phones killed the 3DS (and other handhelds). Of course portable gaming is far from dead, but traditional handhelds are more niche now due to everything being available on the phone or tablet.

That’s cute, but if you don’t do shit with the feedback, then it doesn’t really matter how big the playtest is, eh?

Sources say that playtests with external players are happening much more frequently than in past installments, and the amount of data and feedback collected is the most the franchise has seen in its history. From small feedback sessions to large-scale player tests, Battlefield is now taking the much-needed “player first” approach.

Alright, let’s wait for more info other than “sources say”, then.

Their next handheld, the DS, was an experimental clamshell console with dual screens and a touch pad, yet was tasked with somehow recovering the ground lost to Sony while also being a worthy successor to the Game Boy name.

It was originally not meant as the “successor” to the game boy, but as a “third pillar” next to console and handheld gaming. This is because the 2 screens of which one was a touch screen was pretty niche at the time.

Soon they realized that its popularity and compatibility with classic handheld games made it a fine successor to game boy games, instead of a gimmicky console that only had a limited run.

They did launch the GB Micro after that, but it was just a very very small GBA SP so I guess that doesn’t count.

You guys get lists?

Building a thriving community may improve gaming, increase engagement, and offer priceless support—regardless of your experience level as a streamer. Let’s look at some useful tactics and tips in this post to assist you in building an engaged and active gaming community.

So this is an ad for the website the blog is written on, I take it?

With Yostream, gamers can stream directly from their browser without zero concerns about clunky setups and laggy streams.

Ah, there it is.

Wouldn’t that enable an angle of “martyr for freedom of speech”?

Could you elaborate on this angle? I’m not very well versed in the rights of companies operating in the EU, but I’m unsure “freedom of speech” is one of them.

Edit: I did find information about how social media needs to help us protect freedom of speech for all of their users. Currently, X is doing the opposite it seems

Idk, I kinda agree. Look at how many shitty Pokémon games were made in order to launch alongside with a new series or movie. Those time constraints did not do those games any favor.

So I’m happy they didn’t try to launch a new Fallout game when the series was released. I’ll be wandering the Mojave Desert until then. And if something like 76 comes out again, I might just stay there forever.

I know this is a meme, but if you want to get rid of them:

Even though I told you don’t ask me why… you’re asking me why. But I’m a good donut so I went back:

They dont have to press BOTH keys to press space, they just didnt have a spacebar key that is the correct size to fit, so they put those 2 random keys on instead until they get a permanent keycap set that all fits.

Shift is A, Caps Lock is Z, Control & Backspace is spacebar.

Don’t ask me why, I just searched the image and found the reddit thread that this post is riffing from and got my answers

I’m not sure about all the same content, but you can see at least some Mastadon content and comments on Lemmy and vice versa. You’ll recognize them as they use a lot of #tags and will @ the user they are replying to, which have little use on Lemmy.

Yes, a trailer that’s a fan made film as to what a trailer could look like. I thought we already established that.

I see. I agree that this article doesn’t really accurately portray the situation. I’m used to just viewing the source content to filter any SEO-riddled articles that spend 10% of the article talking about what’s actually being reported on.

So I think it’s a neat teaser, for a presumably full trailer on the 29th.

It’s essential to note that these Unreal Engine remakes are unofficial and generally remain unfinished, often crafted as passion projects by enthusiasts rather than complete games.

While I agree with you… Where did all this come from? Are people saying it’s an official trailer?

I don’t think it blocks users from that instance when you block the instance, just threads posted to said instance. I might be wrong, idk, but that’s what I read before.

browsing by subscribed content works like that. I imagine it looks like I’m blocking everything and everyone but I’m just trying to curate my feed to make it as less noisy as possible

If you browse by “subscribed”, you only see the communities you have joined. I sometimes browse “new” just to see what’s happening now, and this shows all posts from any community (you haven’t blocked). The sorting method “Active” is posts from 1-2 days ago and the content in “Hot” stays about the same throughout the day.
