You still can’t get Rocket League on Steam on an account that didn’t already have the game bought before it was F2P. Is this the case for Fall Guys, or did they go further and stop updating the Steam version?

It used to be independent until Curse started Gamepedia and then got bought by Wikia.

I hope Google dusts off Project Ara one day. That looked like a cool concept that’s only now being made into a reality to some extent.

The Switch should run it fine, it’s about as powerful as the consoles the game originally came out on.

As much as I know Nintendo would love to sell the same games again, I doubt they’d rather put in the time and effort to port the most popular games than put that effort towards being able to continue selling the Switch’s pre-existing back catalog on the new system.

edit: However, I can definitely see them doing the PS5 thing and charging $10 to upgrade Switch 1 games to take advantage of the Switch 2.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this had something to do with the impending Microsoft buyout, seeing as they’ve been putting all their PC games on Steam for a while. That being said, I also wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft starts moving away from both Steam and Battle.net once the deal closes in favor of the Xbox launcher now that they have a ton of potential exclusives for it.

I think they need to find a way to merge the BOTW open world with the more traditional structure of Zelda games. The issue is that those two philosophies are sort of at odds with each other, with BOTW and TOTK not wanting the player to be locked out of anything while exploring the world while the traditional structure has you unlock items throughout the game in order to solve puzzles, which there are much fewer of outside of dungeons. It can work though, if Wind Waker is any indication with its side islands.

This is still a good deal but it’s worth noting that they stopped selling the mainline Sonic games in this pack when they released Origins.

As far as I know, talklittle is focused on making a Tildes app called Three Cheers for now, and had been working it even before the announcement from Reddit. As much as it would be nice to have a Lemmy successor to RIF, the closest we’ll probably get any time soon is an app that’s just inspired by the RIF design.

That was when they got rid of the “blob emoji” in favor of adopting the more standard round smiley faces in order to match Apple specifically. The reasoning was along the lines of wanting emoji to convey the same thing across platforms, which makes sense to an extent but I’m not sure why they felt a complete overhaul of the artstyle was necessary to achieve that goal.

If you want something else to add, /r/functionalprint just officially moved to !functionalprint@kbin.social!

Kick seems to be getting more attention from streamers moving of their own accord than Facebook or Mixer did, at least. I doubt it’ll go a lot better than Mixer in the long run, but it’s at least better for everyone on Twitch if they have competition to worry about.

I see the music industry as the “greater evil” here, but I think I’m rooting for both sides to spend a bunch of money (by normal person standards, it’ll probably be a drop in the bucket for them) on legal fees before the inevitable settlement requiring Twitter to create a Content ID-esque system for videos.

Do you know if there’s a drop-in replacement for PRAW in the works? It would be nice to be able to port bots over easily for communities that relied on them.
