I think another studio was handling a lot of it, so it may be less jank than a typical Bethesda game.
That's unfortunate, sorry to hear about your deck.
The game was a bit of a slow burn at first for me, but the more I've played the more I've gotten hooked by it. Now it's all I've thought about for days.
I can confirm I was able to watch 3 different videos in the Rumpus room over the past few days.
All the videos have worked for me on my OLED deck afaik, and recent patches mentioned fixing videos.
Japan in general has weird copyright/patent laws. For example the whole palworld patent lawsuits.
Good news is it probably won't affect people outside of Japan, except that it will stunt games/etc made in Japan.
There were hundreds of people who worked on the game, and the game itself went out of it's way to feature trans characters. I doubt there's a single AAA game or mass produced product out there that isn't partially owned by some individual who you don't want to support, so I think singling out hogwarts legacy in particular to boycott is kind of meaningless.
You could argue that by boycotting it you're sending a message, and just singling it out as an example, but the game already sold incredibly well and is a huge success. I don't think there's any reason at this point that someone who grew up enjoying harry potter and wants to play the game should feel bad about it. Seems silly to deny yourself something you might enjoy over some small change going to a billionaire you don't like.
Needs to be an official lemmy theme.
Looks like almost all of this update is focused on improving support for other handheld devices.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Someone very recently was complaining about ubisoft not working on their deck, so ubisoft may have changed something.
Not an ideal solution, but if you have a working install for it you may be able to copy your prefix folder for the game to her deck.
Alternatively you might be able to install and get her set up on a windows PC, then copy the install folder from that. This will be trickier though since you'll need to probably copy install and config folders for both the game and ubisoft connect I'm guessing.
Great writeup as always!
The Project Hailstorm link isn't working for me, it's showing an app ID of 338 instead of 3388760 so I'm guessing it got cut off. It's an interesting looking game though, I'll be sure to check it out.
Currently I'm playing 1000xResist, and it's absolutely hooked me. I'm a sucker for games that that jump back and forth in time, showing me a very different future and a relatable past, leaving me to puzzle about what happened to cause the changes. Interesting world building or large scale mysteries like that tend to grab my interest much faster than character/story drama, so I really appreciate when a game hooks me that way as they set up everything else.
I think part of Blue Prince for me is that I keep discovering additional layers of depth to it. They keep giving me reasons to go back and re-evaluate rooms, and I have a dozen different larger puzzles that I'm sorting out the details on as I go. I also appreciate the steady permanent improvements to the rooms and my base resources, and it's really cool whenever I find a new mechanic to abuse for easier future runs.
The storytelling is vague, I've "finished" the main objective of finding room 46 but the pieces of the story I've put together suggest there's a much more important conclusion to reach.
