$150.

(Also usually speed and/or capacity along with higher quality components)

Boktai!

If they used a screen for the price tag on the display: Cool.

If I have to look it up on my own device: Fuck that.

At best they ignore it. At worst, they never invite the user to test anything again. I doubt they’d issue an account ban for that. Not even sure if they can straight up ban you from the platform anyway and lock you out of your games entirely; pretty sure the bans are limited to VAC secured servers for online play and the array of community features like posting on the forums.

Usually the first line in these agreements is “by using this software you agree…” And not “by pressing okay you agree…”

Though I also am not sure how that itself would hold up in court.

How severe is this vulnerability?

Firefox: “I’m listening.”

For PCVR games, it’s exactly the same as normal PC piracy. You can add them as non-steam games and then tick the “show in VR library” option so they actually appear in the VR shit.

For standalone, on the Quest 3 (which, BTW, can also do PCVR), there is an app called Rookie Sideloader that can pull (nearly) anything from the official store without paying for it and then it’s just installed as an unknown app instead of showing up in the default app list.

IDK about the Xbox, but the PS5 is not really all that worth it considering most of the games that aren’t multiplatform titles are PS4 titles still. There’s not much at all that requires the PS5’s hardware, so why would most people pay the higher price for a PS5 when PS4 is still being sold and is cheaper?

The only thing I was even looking for being cracked was Lies of P but then the devs themselves removed it from the game and also put the game on sale for super cheap so I just bought it anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

America is similar, it just has more than 3 corporations running everything.

Could you even send the controller data through DisplayPort? I thought that was just for picture.

Ew… It uses Bluetooth for the main connection? 🤢

Brain broke today 😵

The OG: Space Cadet Pinball.

There is one I remember hearing about a while back and I want to find it again that was really dope because it was a full on simulator and had a easy to use builder to build your own tables. People were recreating actual tables for it, though only those in the public domain.

You don’t need a static IP to have a domain name

That’s why I said or. You need a static address of some kind for Lemmy; be it just an IP or a domain name. I haven’t seen domain names given away for free since I was in high school; where would you get one now?

I recall seeing talk about how Lemmy instances require a domain name. If that’s true, you’d at least have to have a static IP if not pay for an actual domain name. I haven’t tried to start one up myself though. Mostly because if that is truly a requirement, I wouldn’t be able to.

I want to say whatever I want and not have to worry about the police come knocking on my door

Then why would you come to the US? 🤨

It’s like they can do the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs.

Misread a word 😭

My favorite Mario game is the original Donkey Kong.

We didn’t even have AI when the Internet became flooded with faked images and videos, and those actually are incredibly hard to tell are fake. AI generated images still has very obvious tells that it’s fake if you scrutinize them even a little bit. And video is so bad right now, you don’t have to do anything but have functioning sight to notice it’s not real.

I remember when the go-to search term was “warez.”

I still don’t know if that was supposed to be pronounced like “wares” or “war-ehz.” 🤔

🎵This song is just six words long🎵

Maybe that is an L and it plays random Weird Al songs when pressed.

Unless a random number of ads are injected into the video that changes every time it’s viewed… Which is how they already work aside from being directly part of the video stream.

I pirate games to demo them. If I like them, I buy them legit. If I don’t like them, I don’t even play more than an hour and delete them.

It’s the only medium I’ve done this… If I am pirating a movie or a TV show, it’s either old and not able to be purchased or only available on Paramount+ which is absolute garbage and doesn’t work 90% of the time I have tried to use it.

PCVR.

Even if I’m playing a regular non-VR game, I like playing it in a VR environment so I can have a bigger screen than my biggest display IRL. I spend a lot of time in VRChat on the native Quest app while using a 2D remote desktop app that runs in the menu overlay to play Elden Ring.

Hell yeah for Duskers! I was sold on it like 2 minutes into a 12 minute review just on the basis of its uniqueness.

When I think “space game” I usually have a specific genre in mind and Mass Effect isn’t it. You don’t even do anything in space unless you count the hub area since it’s your spaceship. For Starfield to be an honorable mention but Elite completely devoid from the list has dealt me near lethal psychic damage. 😩

“But they’re not machine guns!”

They make your semi-auto fire gun able to shoot as if it were a machine gun. That’s their entire purpose. Fuck off with your pedantry.

Maybe they were inspired Mulholland Drive instead.

Can’t wait to replace my USB thumb drives with crystals.

I’ve played so much Punch-Out, I tend to think of it more like a puzzle game. Especially Super Punch-Out since your opponents don’t even seem to randomize their patterns like they do in the original NES one. 😅

Shadow Boxer maybe. It’s an arcade boxing game with the same kind of format as Punch-Out but not as easy.

If you want something a little more realistic, there’s Undisputed; a Fight Night clone currently in early access on Steam. But it’s not remotely like Punch-Out other than being a boxing game.

Afaik, it’s possible for any file to be infected with a virus. Videos themselves can be, and .MKV is a container of other files (video, audio, subtitles). The video source, audio source or even .txt containing the subtitles could be a malicious virus inside the container.

You would need a phone that can detect that stuff in the first place. Maybe she didn’t.

I have FBT using an old phone connected as a camera and some cardboard with QR tags printed on them. Works damn near flawlessly vs the built-in inside-out-tracking on the Q3. Now if I can just get a small little pen camera inside the headset to use eye tracking software I’d be set… 😅

Depends on when it was made. A modern, multi-game cabinet could run entirely on a Raspberry Pi and cost far less to build than a console.

Those things are complicated as fuck. An arcade cabinet is relatively simple compared to a pinball machine. Even modern ones still need all the moving parts for the board; video game just needs the computer, a controller and a screen.
