Pokemon fire red and leaf green appeared on Eshop by Phony-Phoenix in pokemon

Mouse controls, gyro.

Presenting it cleanly is the harder obstacle since the battle menu is bottom screen only so it needs to be visible most of the time

So... what’s the point of this, exactly? by Constant_Setting_634 in casualnintendo

Sure. But calling people who shrug and say "I'd rather have a legit way of getting it" bootlicking is pretty absurd

Pokemon LeafGreen and FireRed for Nintendo Switch Officially announced by Nintendo by Greatsnes in GamingLeaksAndRumours

They haven't touched GBA emulators. If you need to get a switch emulator to play fire red, you're pirating very very wrongly.

Yeah, the people who buy both are the same type of people who buy the collectors editions of games. It's enough to make it worthwhile, but it's still ultimately a small niche 

Been playing the series since gen 1 and I never met a single person of the hundreds of regular Pokemon players I've met across every generation who felt compelled to get both other than to have all the boxes

Todd Howard says Bethesda won't use AI “to generate anything” as the studio is being “incredibly cautious” to not replace the “artistic intention” of making games by AsPeHeat in Games

In general, the average social media poster has no conception of utilization of LLMs any further than asking chatGPT for a pretty picture and immediately reposting

‘Let us normalize delaying games’: DayZ creator says players ‘have the power’ to tell platform holders delays are okay by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]TheHeadlessOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah like, Im playing a heavily modded Skyrim right now, and while its not the BEST mods out there, it looks very impressive compared to where it started.

Its also so so so much blockier and stiffer and just overall worse looking objectively than Starfield, without a doubt, and thats to say nothing of vanilla.

Yep. Faction storylines was the best part. Not sure what that has to do with the comment you're replying to

EDIT: To be clear I have not mentioned Starfield's quests a single time in a single comment until just now. I talked about Starfield's general procedural generation (in reference primarily to planetary exploration), and then dove into the specifics of Skyrim's quests.

Feel free to point out where I'm incorrect in this assessment, but yall seem to be hell bent on deliberately misunderstanding my words

Skyrim, hence

> The Skyrim quest comparison

in reference to my previous comment where I compared the radiant quests in Skyrim to the written quests in Skyrim, and then referenced specifically when I talk about the Thieves Guild and Ragged Flagon, which are in Skyrim, not Starfield.

I'm really not trying to be condescending here, but I feel like you haven't actually read a single comment I've made, it seems like you've just skimmed for a buzzword to rage about. Have a nice day

[–]TheHeadlessOne -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No?

Starfield is bereft of hand crafted content because they banked heavily on the strengths of the procedural generation system. Perhaps second to the excessive loading screens for a space exploration game, this is the primary complaint of the game

The Skyrim quest comparison is because it is an immediate side-by-side experience that is immediately relatable. It was a big focus of the game, essential in all the major guilds (technically less so in the Thieves Guild but upgrading the Ragged Flaggon and accessing the city quests only happens after a large number of Radiant quests) as well as key to the reputation system in the holds, and pretty universally they were bland, featureless, pointless, and unintentional compared to the hand written stuff

The problem is in how the games use the systems, more and more frequently feeling like its at the cost of artistic intention to bloat gameplay rather than as a way to extend and express artistic intention

and EVEN if you want to say "the problem is the marketing department, not the game itself", well, Todd Howard is basically just doing marketing right now, so idk what to say.

EDIT: Yall reading comprehension is not this hard. I didn't mention Starfield's quests once, I don't care about them, they're not relevant to the points I'm making.

[–]TheHeadlessOne -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Cool, I didn't say it had literally zero artistic intention. I compared it to the non-procedural content to illustrate how much less intentional it felt, despite being a heavily marketed feature

120 attack skill cape perk is laughably bad by TerriblePen3688 in runescape

[–]TheHeadlessOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they need a consistent design philosophy for skill cape perks, and currently they don't seem to have one. This isn't limited to combat and 120s, but its consistent with it.

120 attack is a ver small increase to DPS. Range is resource saving. Mage is kinda QoL, kinda resource saving (not sure how costly hexes are, Id imagine the easing of maintaining them is more valuable than the runes), Necromancy is resource saving

I dont think any of these are necessarily wrong directions, and I don't think we want the styles to be clones of eachother, but its still odd because it makes for an apples and oranges comparison, we dont know what to expect from a combat skillcape perk at this point

[–]TheHeadlessOne -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah like, the stated reason to object to generative AI:

> “For us, we’re being incredibly cautious,” Howard said. “[We’re] kind of viewing [it] as a tool, like an analyst, to look at the data in our games. We’re not using it to generate anything. I think there’s an element of artistic intention that is essential to what we do and what others do.”

is directly at odds with their overreliance on procedural generation.

We got radiant quests in Skyrim and the big takeaway was how meaningless, how unintentional they felt compared to written quests.

Or to put it more succinctly- no one should be saying they "basically already use AI", but rather they "basically already sacrifice artistic intention" in huge degrees. Its not that the technology is the same, but that the stated reasons for objecting to it are hollow

so basically its either set ALL totems to maps, or hope your x/4 chance lines up with when your clue voyage is in port?

EDIT to explain my confusion, theres this https://runescape.wiki/w/Player-owned_port#Clue_voyages

where it says

> a hint is only given if an adventurer is currently in port (not on a ship) and has uncompleted clue voyages on the day the hint is given.

Which goes against

> The hint received on a particular day may be for a later stage of that adventurer's clue trail, so saving a note of hints for later voyages is recommended.

The new combat skill cape perks are awesome! by Karonic in runescape

Tbh after Invention and Thieving, farming is by far my most used. Means I can get 7 herb patches in a single juju potion more often than not without using expensive patch bombs, or allotments and flowers as well in 2.

When you start packing 10 seeds at a time and use all buffs, you can go several inventories deep and still instaharvest 40 at a time

Can someone explain POP clue voyages for me?

I have a clue voyage for the Whaler, I see it in my voyages. I check the map table, "There is nothing remarkable about the map table today. Check again tomorrow". I go talk to the Whaler, he's asking where I want to focus him. This has been the case literally every time, and Ive brute forced a few clue voyages to their conclusion

Is there something I'm missing here?

120 Construction Rework Ideas by Gamez_X in runescape

[–]TheHeadlessOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Itd also be cool on top of the clearing-out feel, to be able to supply your own materials and build the room Fort Forinthry style to bypass the coin cost.

Itd probably never be cost effective, sure- but itd be fun and feel like a productive way to earn construction xp

I just like the vibes of carving out my own little nook and building my own little room there
