What? Until Dawn isn't even a PlayStation published game. Wasn't it published by the same company who published The Quarry?

Was it the Cyberpunk 2077 of 2014 games? Some assets were clearly not ready, such as a placeholder icon, a material not rendering correctly, a music track not playing, and other issues.

We won't be able to play each other's levels anymore. This is disappointing to see, and we didn't get an advance warning either to try and get some last moments in.

Events gradually pop up on Nintendo Switch Online service that offer redeemable icon elements, such as Cohozuna and Big Man from Splatoon 3, and Kicks from Animal Crossing. Events are available for a limited time but may pop up again showing past elements. Normally you need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to redeem them, but a few events required Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack instead - so I couldn't redeem the Super Mario 64 penguin icon since it required that.

Now all of a sudden, you need to play games one to three times depending on the event, in order to redeem the icon elements with points, but you still need an active Nintendo Switch Online membership to redeem the elements. The ones that require you to play three times to redeem icon elements require you to play the game three times, 24 hours in between each session, and the sessions must be undertaken while online and still having an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. You can't just launch the game once or even three times in a row in these instances. So now all of a sudden you need to basically own the game for at least two to three days. You could redeem event icon elements without owning the games before this change happened, as there was no such requirement.

This is despite the icon elements still being on a rotation - the current Super Mario World icon elements are only available to redeem until April 1, and the Animal Crossing ones are claimed to switch on Mondays.

I hope they do one of three things. One, they revert this change entirely, and remove the gameplay requirement. Two, they keep the game play requirement, but make it so you don't actually need Nintendo Switch Online to redeem them or count towards the game play requirement. Or three, they now have the entire element list available at all times - but in order to get the older icon elements outside of special events, you need to meet the game play requirements like right now, while special events will let you redeem the elements without having to meet game play requirements.

What happened to Humble Bundle?

There's like a thousand games where there's a playable cat, fox, dog, and/or bird, or an anthropomorphic version of such - either as the main character, or a playable one in a funny animal roster. But for skunks I don't see any major new titles coming out as such.

I know of Punky Skunk from 1990s, and Pine Seekers from 2010s which has skunks as the main playable characters, but not much else. Tooth and Tail also had a skunk class of unit, while Impossible Creatures had a skunk as a choice and thus let you fuse one with another animal as animal fusions is the main selling point of the game.

Armello had a large roster, but it cut off before it added a skunk as a playable character and they're so far relegated to a background character species - and it seems there's only like one card that features one and that's it. And they seem to be relegated to background characters at most in such games. Why is that?

These options look pretty interesting. Too bad Worms W.M.D cannot be live streamed on Xbox Game Pass anymore...

They should have done this earlier so they could guarantee a release date parity with the PS5 version.

About the EA Apex Legends patent for the ping system... remember that EA has patented some of the mechanics from Spore and The Sims such as the Sporepedia concept and the Sim body sliders in The Sims 4 where you can drag parts on their body to reshape them in the creator.

Both appear to be not leased for free like the Apex Legends patent and as a result games are affected. Spiritual successors such as Elysian Eclipse and Life by You have to skirt around the patents - the latter is visibly shown to have regular style sliders where they're located on a menu, and the developer for the former game complains about having to dodge the patents too.

In other words Electronic Arts isn't fully innocent. But Nintendo and Electronic Arts can get some favor from us by doing the same thing EA did with Apex Legends patents for the patents registered for The Legend of Zelda, Spore, and The Sims. Nintendo might be able to blow this away if they do this, unlike WB's patents with the Nemesis system, which is still commonly complained about.

Apparently it is right now the only game on Steam that is elegible to be classified as "Overwhelmingly Negative" to have less than 10% of reviewers to recommend the game. Is this a new world record?

[-] Tag365@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Why does it cost $49.99 for this port? Shouldn't it be at most like $30 dollars for a PS4 port with not even a resolution change?

Justia works with US trademarks and law. In the US trademarks currently need to be renewed every 10 years - prior to the reduction in the late 1900s they appear to be needed to be renewed only every 20 years. I don't live in the UK, so the apparent 30 year renew requirement is much longer.

Also it seems Wizards of the Coast were somehow able to keep their Planescape UK trademark registration intact despite letting every other Planescape related trademark registration become canceled/abandoned. I'm not sure if they had to keep up with the trademark, or if registrations in the UK last much longer without having to be kept up to date. I guess they let it lapse at the time in the US for some reason, but when they started Dungeon Master's Guild, I think they realized they should have live registrations for the legacy setting names they had to have more power under the law to manage the use of them. I think a company would want to keep other companies in check when they're licensing certain IPs to others.

There's a problem with Steam Cloud, when I try to manually delete the saves that don't even appear in the save list in the Early Access for Baldur's Gate 3, they keep on being restored from Steam Cloud even though I deleted them. But, they don't appear in the game's save menu so I can't delete them at all! What do I do to delete those saves for eternity and not just until I launch the game again?

Larian Studios say I am to delete all Early Access saves from the game in order to prevent problems when the game is fully released, but I can't do it because the saves can't be deleted in game - they no longer appear in the game menu.

Have you watched Direwolf20's videos? They're not about camera span or zoomed in faces, just close to raw modded Minecraft gameplay.

Lovely quote. Anyone else rooting for the underdog here?
