You’ve got to give Microsoft credit for their dedication to backwards compatibility.

Steam@lemmy.ml•Team Fortress 2 is now at a 15% review score due to the #FixTF2 movementEnglish
6·2 years agoI expect people have moved onto other and better games, and never bothered to update their review from years ago - I definitely fall into that category.
Yeah I hopped back over from Edge when the manifest v3 stuff came out, and the two main things I miss are proper profile management and vertical tabs - I’ve been using https://codeberg.org/ranmaru22/firefox-vertical-tabs to get around it currently, but having a native implementation to both issues will be a massive (and recently rare) Firefox W.
Arkham Knight is decent except for the batmobile sections - as others have already mentioned.
I’d still argue it’s better than Origins though. From memory, memorising all the different toolbelt skills isn’t really necessary - you can definitely get through the game by just abusing jumps, cloak and counters - some special enemies might need a specific ability to make vulnerable, but the game normally warns you the first time you fight them, so I don’t think it ever feels too overwhelming - it just feels like a lot if you run through it very quickly.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•What are some good Firefox extenstions that work on mobile?English
7·2 years agoIs there any reason to use the Bitwarden Firefox extension rather than the app?
Have to disagree with you on echoes - I loved the game, but IMO it was much easier than Prime 1 - the most difficult boss was the probably the boost guardian midway through rather than any of the endgame bosses. The ammo system made the standard power beam too centralising which was boring, and the dark world damage just served to slow the player down, since the light fields regenerated your health.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Got a Switch today, need some recommendations.English
6·2 years agoNo one’s suggested it yet, so I’ll say Fire Emblem: Three Houses - lots of gameplay hours, especially if you want to go through each of the four storylines, albeit can be a bit repetitive getting to that point.

Games@lemmy.world•I didn't read the TOS for Baldurs Gate 3 until nowEnglish
5·2 years agoWith GOG, you could theoretically download the offline installer, give that to someone else and then ask GOG support to remove BG3 from your account, and be fully abiding with the EULA conditions.
Lazy Web devs who took the ‘mobile first’ mantra to mean ‘mobile only’ 🙄

Games@lemmy.world•Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperformingEnglish
9·2 years agoHoly shit, it’s actually impressive to tank that hard - not cresting more than 1000 concurrent players in over a month, and hasn’t been able to beat 5000 since November… I know people love throwing the ‘dead game’ meme around prematurely, but if this isn’t dead yet, it’s definitely got one foot in the grave.

Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft Confirms Plans To Release Xbox First Party Games “Across All Platforms”, Including PlayStationEnglish
1·2 years agoBut if it gets to the point where Ubisoft goes and every studio starts making their own, I don’t think that will work if they don’t have the game catalogue to support it, that would mean Ubisoft could just start churning out horrible games to build their stupid catalogue.
I feel like we’re starting to see a rerun of the streaming service wars - if this takes off across the industry I can definitely see people going back to piracy. I don’t want game pass, ubisoft+, Blizzard Prime, Nintendo Online Super Premium Expansion Pass or whatever stupid names these companies come up with just to play a few games that I’m interested in, just because they’re spread across different publishers.
America really is an amazing country. I’ve never even heard of about half of this tier list.
I had this exact fight with my team several months ago, and lost to popular opinion since the rest of my team are either zoomers or indifferent.

Gaming@beehaw.org•List of specific video game communities on the Threadiverse, feel free to comment with moreEnglish
1·2 years agoCan confirm that the first doesn’t work on Alexandrite, but the second works as expected.

1·2 years agoI think you’re right and it’s frontend-specific - I’m using Alexandrite and it shows perfectly, but I just checked the default Lemmy UI and it doesn’t handle it properly either.

7·2 years agoTbh it sounds more and more like it’s a kbin interaction problem rather than anything you’re doing…
Not sure if there’s any way for you to resolve it other than getting a Beehaw mod to update it for you.

Gaming@beehaw.org•List of specific video game communities on the Threadiverse, feel free to comment with moreEnglish
5·2 years agoIf you look at the source between your post and the OP of this chain, you can see that they haven’t got any special link formatting, but the links will all work correctly for any lemmy user no matter their instance - not sure if kbin handles it correctly.
e.g.
[!destroy\_my\_game](https://programming.dev/c/destroy_my_game)vs!destroy_my_game@programming.devI suspect it’s just a convenience thing, since a number of your links point to kbin.cafe search results.

1·2 years agoI think Lemmy uses ! for instances because @ is used for users - e.g. I expect that @floppy@reabbitea.rs will automatically link to your profile on your instance (and link to your profile on any other viewer’s instance - e.g. for me it should link to an aussie.zone URL).
It’s probably a design decision to differentiate communities from users.




Really looking forward to this once it’s complete! I’m currently using ranmaru22’s vertical tabs, but having something native that won’t risk breaking with FF updates will be nice.
