Is this app 18+ only or are children allowed to find older boyfriends? How are teens and children protected?

Agreed. But when selling the console, most people don’t have the full picture in front of them.

Whatever happens, the biggest hurdle isn’t the price or the hardware, or even the operating system itself. The biggest hurdle are the available games that work out of the box, specifically the most popular multiplayer games. I don’t think Sony has to worry anything, because the Steam Machine is still PC hardware and that is usually more expensive than a comparable game console. Usually.

On a high level, the problems aren’t about the programming language itself; it’s mostly all the surrounding stuff like upgrade issues and the tooling. And in these points, Rust excels in my opinion.

I think Deadlock might be a “launch” title to the Steam Machine. As in advertisement, not exclusivity. Maybe they open the flood gate with the launch of the Steam Machine?

This post title has all the info I need to know. Thanks.

It doesn’t mean its 19 years in heavy production. There are several years of nothing happening.

Usually you can’t pick older versions of the game. There are cases when developers leave an older build of the game available in the Experimental tab. But that is not always the case and the developer or publisher does not have to do it. It’s not required.

The price cut is the only thing Tim cares about.

But what if the game was an update instead? The law does not cover this situation. Then owner of the original game could no longer access it, and only get the new version.

@iamthetot@piefed.ca Now it works for me too. Looks like a temporary issue. But it was an issue nonetheless, bound to some server.

I’ve never heard of this before. Nice to have other variations. https://www.redotengine.org/ I wonder why they forked Godot. Also they don’t like to mention it at all it seems: https://docs.redotengine.org/en/stable/about/introduction only at the bottom as

If I were a game developer, I would probably stick to Godot unless there is a really good reason for relying on this fork. One has to trust them fully.

Square is not obliged to give a free copy to all owners of the original game. Even if the game is no longer for sale.

But what if the game was an update instead? The law does not cover this situation. Then owner of the original game could no longer access it, and only get the new version. In example Counter Strike: Global Offensive was replaced by Counter Strike 2. To me having both versions accessible (Rockstar did that with GTA 5 too) is ideal.

My hope is, they will remove the launcher and SquareEnix account requirement. And make some further modifications to make the game Steam Deck verified.

Wow I just tested it. Game does not run anymore, and I get connection error. I have internet access, so probably the servers are shutdown. So the original game (what will be renamed to 2013 edition later) is unplayable. I just downloaded it and tested.

Also if software is Open Source plays a lot here. Anything that is Open Source is never done software. And then what if the community decompiles into source code? Super Mario 64 was done game I suppose, then fans decompiled and wrote the source code for the game and keep working to improve or add functionality. Now its undone?

The term “done” is so vague, it makes no sense to talk about it without declaring what it is. It’s like using a variable in a duck typed language and just change its meaning randomly when its needed… (yeah Python byte me on this in the past… sorry I still have the wound).

What does “done” mean? If software does what it should do, has implemented all goals in development and does not need maintenance, then it is done. However, the more complex software is, the more likely security fixes and compatibility fixes need to be done.

The solitaire game that came with Windows 3.1. Certainly that’s done.

Why is the game “done”? It does not work on modern systems anymore, does it? I don’t get what “done” means for this game.

Super Mario Brothers is not only done, but also awesome.

How is it “done”? They released the game and it still has bugs and does not run on modern machines directly. The fans added lot of features through modding that the game could use to have. It’s just abandoned and not updated.

I don’t get what “done” means here. The given examples are a bit weird. Sure games are easier to be declared as done, than “regular” computer software on PC in example. Games for old consoles off course have not the same security issues as on modern PCs in example. These examples are more like “abandoned”, as their platforms are.

I don’t know…

I remember when this project was in young age and I saw it the first time. I thought to myself “ah yeah, it’s nice to have but one of those projects no one will care in the industry”. And here we are, Godot (12y) rivaling industry giant like Unity (20y).

I had to look at the scroll bar to see how long this is still going.

Hmm, never read that. I will test this myself with bunch of different Shaders, if any of them has a similar effect. It might be because there are many Shaders that simulate the CRT effects and can be customized.
