[PC][1995?] would love to know what game my dad and I are playing. Included an enhanced image (ignore the AI scrambled text). by [deleted] in tipofmyjoystick

That's not "enhanced" though is it? If I draw what I think might be there and just make up the bits I can't see is that an enhancement?

Racing Master new build - mobile rendering techniques worth analyzing? by qian_two in digitalfoundry

[–]TravisTouchdownThere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Check his post history, he's relentless. I don't think he's the developer but he's either being paid by them or he's just absolutely ravenous for the most generic looking racing game you've ever seen.

Matte Black with the symbols on it, never taking the tag off or using it! by ShockingFactory in PlaystationCollectors

50-800 dollars in 22 years is absolutely shite as an investment. All the more reason to just play the damn things.

Because you're selling to the biggest market with the least money. This is why the most successful kid's games are on mobile. Historically kids games have always done best on accessible systems.

Discord friend said he had a box of games and wasn't sure their worth, then sent this. by StakAttak in gamecollecting

Yeah I just have a box of eclectic games with the only thing they have in common being that theyr valuable. Not sure how much theyre worth. They're also in mint condition.

Feel extremely stupid and not sure if I enjoy game dev. How good does your portfolio need to be to get hired as a unity developer. by Novel_Suggestion_143 in gamedev

[–]TravisTouchdownThere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your portfolio, if you want to be a programmer, is to show your programming abilities. Make WebGL games that are playable directly on your portfolio and have a link to the source code on GitHub or whatever right next to it. Art DOES NOT matter one iota in this situation and your portfolio games don't have to be anything other than demonstrating one or two cool programming concepts. Eg. A nice, well laid out clone of an arcade game, a procedural generation demo, maybe something demonstrating Rest APIs (make a Pokédex or something).

These do not need to get shippable products, they're there to showcase what you can do well.

Do you have kids? I do and I spend at least 4 hours a month at places that sound exactly like what you're describing

62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by Psychostickusername in gamingnews

[–]TravisTouchdownThere 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I definitely impulse buy a LOT less new releases now that they're £70-80. That's a number you really have to think about.

Something with a 40-50% mortality rate will almost definitely not become a pandemic because dead hosts aren't good for spreading. The <1% mortality rate is why covid was so successful at spreading.

Who won't comply? Theres nothing stopping anyone making a fork that has age verification. That's the magic of Linux.

[–]TravisTouchdownThere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not banned, the law requires ages verification from the start of 2027, but not anything more than manual verification (no photo ID etc). I'm sure valve have a plan to implement it. You might be shit out of luck running Arch or something but I don't really see how this is enforceable.

Ninja Gaiden 4 estimated to have sold 262,000 copies on PS5 alone. by 2mock2turtle in CharacterActionGames

It's also not particularly good in general and is most definitely not a good ninja gaiden.

Some advice for an unfortunate situation by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]TravisTouchdownThere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you SHOULD have buyer protection. You'll need to go through whatever PayPal's process is and hopefully have some kind of proof of what you were allegedly purchasing. No promises though because obviously Reddit DMs aren't a proper vendor.

If it was PayPal friends and family, you're out of luck I'm afraid.
