TIL Windows XP had specific code just to maintain compatibility with Lego Island
That is so funny to me. Imagine how the devs felt to know their game was so notable to get a windows compatibility just for them.

Modern Pokemon games hold your hand too much.
While on one hand I completely and totally agree that the games seem to always ignore the seasoned vets of the series. It’s also been very clear that their design choice is to always assume this is your first Pokémon and that you ARE a child since that’s the target audience always. So the hand holding is always a result of that design choice, now obviously there’s better ways to go about it, Pokémon is the only game that treats me like a child for the first 4 hours but then opens the system up and leaves me alone. But I also think it’s been getting better, look at the 3DS generation of games, those things were relentless with its constant “hey look over here and do this!” That it took a lot for me to finish those games.

What are some of your favorite game mechanics?
Achievement based cosmetics in multiplayer games. While I appreciate the "cosmetics only" approach of some multiplayer games microtransactions and battlepasses I also really miss the days of showing off the hayabusa armor in Halo 3. Or even in single player games, it was sometimes more engaging to have something to aim towards to unlock a new costume or get the "ultimate" version of an armor set.

I’m not so certain there is a comparable title to Pokémon at it’s best. I want there to be, but it doesn’t exist yet.

Is there a steamdeck lemmy community? I quite liked having a place to talk about performance of some games or tweaks or releases.

Oh for sure, I mean how many games have that simply because they assume you will replay it? Why not do it for a long running series?? it's bonkers.

Sega’s new Yakuza spinoff leaks, turns Kiryu into secret agent Spider-Man
My only issue with the yakuza games is I don’t like beat-em ups all that much. Which is a shame because the story telling and atmosphere are so freaking good. I usually can put a solid 10 hours in before my attention drifts somewhere else.

Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?
Reply in thread
See I originally was like this, and then I tackled it like a coin eater arcade game. Its is begging you to throw yourself over and over at the enemy and learn their patterns. It becomes so satisfying when after a few hours your a master at parrying an enemy the day before killed you in seconds. The games do a fantastic job of giving you that feeling of a protagonist whose finally learned to work their powers. Then you get a new enemy and its back to square one.

What are people's thoughts on Silk?
I mean at the end of the day I will never recommend a 6k token purchase. It’s gotta be on whatever you want and feel is worth it.
IMO silk is a really great combo with miles to have a huge power swing for really low cost.
