Gaming@beehaw.org•Tencent CEO feels its game business "achieved nothing" during 2023English
2·2 years agoThey have a 30% stake, but most of their other investments didn’t produce anything. Even riot’s down enough to have massive layoffs.
Huh didn’t know that. That’s definitely interesting.
That’s fair.
To me, it feels kinda cynical of the developers, like how a lot of GaaS trickle thins out just fast enough to not destroy their userbase. I prefer a little bit more reward as I play through, while obviously maintaining a slow enough pace that it feels like there’s reason enough to continue playing.
Different strokes though.
Not really. There’s a ton of other survival games I’d rather play, and the game’s progression feels like it’s deliberately just fast enough to keep me from closing it. After 8 hours or so I closed and uninstalled because it feels engaging enough to play, but not enough to be anything but chores.
The boss battles suck, the crafting has arbitrary timers to it. I just really don’t find it fun at all.
I love monster collection games, and I enjoy survival, but this definitely isn’t for me.

3·2 years agoIf you do, I’d be interested to hear results. Deluge’s plugins are nice and it’s easy to make your own. If it wasn’t for the performance issues, I’d likely still be there.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Switched from uTorrent to QBitTorrentEnglish
4·2 years agoYa, my only issue with Deluge is after ~500 torrents it starts to slow. I’m on private trackers, so I always tend to have ~2,000 torrents seeding at once. For my particular usecase, it simply becomes too slow and bogged down to be viable.
Granted, I’ve not used Deluge in some 2 or 3 years; maybe they improved process handling since then? I’d love to be corrected if so.

591·2 years agouTorrent doesn’t play well in the landscape of the modern bittorrent protocol. It’s also adware, infringes upon your privacy, and is a malware risk.
qBittorrent is my client of choice, but other popular and great clients are Deluge (only up to ~500 torrents), transmission, and rtorrent (on Linux). There’s other clients as well but YMMV, especially if you do any private tracker usage.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Valve's taken down Portal 64, a passion project to demake Portal for the Nintendo 64English
4·2 years agoYes, hyperbole is non-falsefiable. It’s a rhetorical device, not a claim unto itself. In this instance it’s a rhetorical device being used to communicate the idea that, were this Nintendo, they’d be receiving rightful backlash, but people, like you, online will give a pass due to the sheer fact that it’s Valve doing the takedown.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Valve's taken down Portal 64, a passion project to demake Portal for the Nintendo 64English
4·2 years agoThe last time you’re referring to was Valve directly distributing the project in question. That is not the reality here, nor is there any implication that Valve allows it. If Valve never issued this takedown, there’d be no reason to even believe Valve knew of this infringement nor that they were so intimately familiar with it to know Nintendo’s IP was also being infringed upon.

27·2 years agoThis is just a corporate passing of the buck. There’s no reason to believe a third party infringing upon the properties of two parties would give the latter parties any ability or risk of going after one another.
This project was not on steam and as such was not distributed by nor associated with Valve in any way beyond infringement of IP and use of their assets. Let’s not give Valve a pass just because they can lazily and baselessly say “um nintendo!” about it.
