dbaner@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Steam hit an all-time record of 38.3 million PC players online. PC gaming has been growing steadily in recent years, with Steam hitting an all-time peak of 32 million in January 2023...English2·9 months agoVirtually all of Steams growth in the last year or so has been from China. Even though it’s not got a license to operate there. So if/when their government stop turning a blind eye to it they will suffer a massive drop in users.
dbaner@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Valve Updates Team Fortress 2 to 64-Bit, Boosting Performance of the 17-Year-Old FPSEnglish36·1 year agoThis always happens. The first pre-release screenshots are the ones with the most views so tend to appear at the top of Google searches. Guaranteeing them to be used in most news stories for years to come. Which gives them more views. Which gives them a higher Google rank. Etc…
dbaner@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the best way to invest money for people you don't know?21·1 year agoThe margins on even the most successful mobile games are surprisingly small. Once you take into account the cost of running the servers, code maintenance, customer service, platform fees and advertising the roi will typically be less than 10%… if you’re lucky.
dbaner@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•After Valve says no, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic devs unite to get "very serious" about their very silly demand for a dwarf tag on Steam, and they want your helpEnglish8·1 year agoI think the way tags work is that steam shows the most commonly used tags. But you can still add your own. If enough people add a dwarf tag then eventually it’ll start appearing as an option for other people.
dbaner@lemmy.worldto PlayStation@lemmy.world•Looking for Suggestions for a Relaxing PS5 GameEnglish2·1 year agoGreat list. I would also add… Unpacking. Very cool game about unpacking boxes and finding a place to put things in a new home.
Viewfinder. Cool Puzzle game about taking photos that change the world
Toem. Explore a quirky world and take photos for people.
Chicory. Solve puzzles by painting. Does however have some mildly challenging action sequences
dbaner@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•3D action/adventure games with fantastical settings?English4·2 years agoIf you want impressive fantasy adventures then it doesn’t get much more epic than “God Of War” which came out last year on pc.
I had all my best ideas stareing out of the window on long train or bus journeys. These days I’m constantly “entertained” by my phone so it’s much harder to get into the same state of mind.
dbaner@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Advice needed, son wants to learn how to program4·2 years agoOr alternatively Godot. IMHO it’s a lot simpler to get basic stuff working. The editor can run on a much lower spec machine than unreal and GDscript is good stepping stone between scratch and languages like c#.
I saw somewhere that someone had decoded how an AI had learnt to do basic arithmetic. And it appeared to be using a massive expression containing lots of sin & cosines to do basic addition
dbaner@lemmy.worldto PlayStation@lemmy.world•Paper Beast Enhanced Edition - Launch Trailer (PSVR2)English2·2 years agoThe original version is one of the best experiences I had on PSVR
dbaner@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What happened to online computer games?1·2 years agoMost of the successful games moved to Mobile. In particular Miniclip is almost exclusively a mobile games company now and still makes games like 8 ball pool

dbaner@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that's not common knowledge but you think everyone should know?1·2 years agoI would add that if you’re using Windows then you don’t need a 3rd party anti virus as long as you keep Windows up to date. Many commercial anti virus programs behave more like malware than the things they’re meant to protect you from
dbaner@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Suburbanites Baffled By Person Outdoors Who Isn’t Delivering Something (The Onion)73·2 years agoThe crazy thing is that it needs the clarification that it’s from the onion
dbaner@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Nationwide blackout across Nigeria after power grid collapseEnglish6·2 years agoIt’s not unusual to have multiple power cuts a day in Lagos. Anyone who can afford it has a generator
Took me way too long to get that
dbaner@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you don't like, that you wish you did like? and why7·2 years agoThe key difference between introverts and extroverts is that for introverts social interactions drain our mental energy while extroverts are energized by interactions.
