#computergames — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #computergames, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I played four #ComputerGames yesterday, and, funnily enough, one of them wasn't with 4 Guys Co-op, which got canceled due to illness, injury, and travel. I got sucked into Hideo Kojima‘s Death Stranding over the weekend. It recently came to Xbox Game Pass—an odd #cRPG, whose main mechanic is trying to stay upright while carrying a lot of stuff. I also played Eternal Strands, Metamorph ReFantazio (sic), and Octopath Traveler, all fun #JRPGs. Damn that #Xbox rewards gamifying system!

  2. The screenshot shows the 3D model of an enemy character made for the indie action RPG video game codename: Robin Tech Netverse currently in development by Cardeis Art.

  5. I knew a guy (and his sons) WAY into a computer game, America's Army. Rightfully proud of his dad and pop who served. Family tradition! They also genuinely saw THEMSELVES as carrying on that tradition of military service, by playing the computer game. #Republicans of course. SEO, lots of alcohol, and the kids on drugs. So today, I see that they were on the right side of history as #Trump declared himself a war hero! Donald, give yourself the Medal of Honor? #Uspol #computergames #military #chuds

  6. #neu in der #RVK: Mit AP 99301 – AP 99499 gibt es jetzt einen Bereich für Computer Game Studies!

  7. Watching this made me think back when the local video rental had a #NES area and I was lucky enough to actually have a #NES computer and was able to test a lot of games.

    This gave me so many flashbacks in nostalgia ..

  8. History of Computer Art, HTML versions in English and German with embedded videos: I updated the embed codes (YouTube, Vimeo and dailymotion changed them). Now you can see the videos within the text and go to the videos on the platforms - as it was before.

  9. If you ask me, I have hopes that #HalfLife3 will come with something revolutionary, with a good written story.

    The games have been always about technology used in the environment to react to the user. I wonder what will bring the third main installment.

  10. On the one hand, this account is mostly 1980s futurism already.

    On the other hand, I should start a communication and media thread of 1980s futurism:

  11. This is just a friendly reminder to everyone gaming out there.

    Not hitting 100% completion is fine. Experiencing games to *your* fullest is what is important, and if that means you want to do everything the game has to offer, good for you, go for it, but don't force yourself.

    There is a fine line between a game turning from fun to tedious or frustrating.
    By and large, they are not meant to be frustrating experiences.
    Also, note that challenging is not the same as frustrating.

    Have fun out there, but know there is no shame in walking away from time to time.

  12. Top EU court’s advisor says manipulating transient data is not copyright infringement

    One of the reasons that today’s copyright is such a bad fit for the modern digital world is that its roots lie deep in 18th-century law and analogue objects like books. This fact has created a kind of legislative drag that means copyright is always decades behind the latest technological developments. A case in point is the phenomenon of “cheating” in video games. Despite the negative […]

  13. Nice way to end the evening with a relaxing game of Dorfromantik on the Mac. Nice even ending score too! Very laid-back game. Two thumbs up!

  14. On Fri we had the (yearly) curry night of ex- #DMADesign computer games people. First time I was able to turn up in ages. Thirty years since we made games, and some of us still do! This is where Lemmings, GTA and Hired Guns came from.

  15. reuploading all my computer game stuff to howdoyouspell.cool.

    the following is my second piece for OCG, which showcases an interesting middle period for me where i was trying to get out of writing review stuff and move into more philosophical/conceptual analysis.

  17. I've been longing for some #Oldschool entertainment recently but I'm the picky type when it comes to #Computergames - and so I was happy to re-discover #Starflight for the #Commodore64 - a game that was released when I had already switched to the #PC and only knew it from watching friends play it.

    There are a two more C64 titles I've got on the list: #SpaceRogue and #SentinelWorlds but for now it's my turn to try and boldly go where no one has gone before ...

  18. more #OldGeezer thoughts on this (oh no). it seems like #ComputerGames nowadays are built with this idea that you can simply #UNDO all your mistakes. "missed it? don't worry, you can just go back!" and this is seen as #GOOD but is it really? i don't know why this is so offensive -- maybe it's not? -- but you can't just GO BACK when you f%&k up in life; you live and learn (Sonic Adventure 2 reference). of course, games don't need to be like #RealLife BUT! there is no but, it's just perspective.

  19. And now onto this video, where computer science lecturers briefly recall their first computer game experiences. My first computer games were played in December 1980 on a borrowed to home Apple II. I can’t remember if I played Colossal Cave first or Lemonade Stand, but those were my first two. The YouTube video’s comments are full of more reminiscences. youtu.be/GdzZFV8jfjg #ComputerGames #RetroComputing #InteractiveFiction #ColossalCave #AppleII #VintageComputing #LemonadeStand

  20. #Introduction

    I'm just a guy with a lot of hobbies - #brewing, growing stuff, making #vinegar, collecting #AncientCoins, #photography, #boardgames, #ComputerGames, and much more.

    I need a new hobby like I need a new hole in the head, but I am also powerless to resist when a new hobby strikes. Such is life.

    I work as a #TechnicalWriter at a Danish software company. I have three clever and independent children who shout at me a lot, and a wife who doesn't. We live a happy normie-life in suburbia.

    Back in the before-times I studied #linguistics at #AarhusUniversity. I think about #AncientRome and #AncientGreece probably every hour or so.

  21. #luma test; small output resolution: that's ok.

    what does everyone think about time mirroring #RealLife in #ComputerGames? on the one hand, it makes game #feel like an #extension of the real world; on the other hand, it can be punishing to those of the non #Hikikomori persuasion where #jobs and other #responsibilities exist, especially punishing when night/day supplies different boons like #CATCHINGHOOTHOOT

  22. Hier ein Nachtrag:

    Unsere neue Podcast-Episode ist verfügbar: Wir drehen in „Der Preis ist heiß“ von GameTek für C64 und Amiga kräftig am Pixelrad. Jetzt anhören – Links in der Bio!

  24. #introduction

    I fight for the users.

    I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

    I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.

    I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.

    I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.

    I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.

    I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.

    I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.

    I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.

    I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.

    I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.

    I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.

    I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

    I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.

    I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.

    I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.

    I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.

    Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.

    I'm currently working at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. on FOSH assistive consumer electronics.

    I'm sober.
