I had freaked out over it briefly but someone had linked to proof that the handover was legit: https://old.reddit.com/comments/1tfldu7 (Yes, I know linking here is that-which-shall-not-be-done-on-Lemmy but the discussions were interesting and are worth reading.)
With that said, I actually like BasicSync’s design more than -Fork anyway so I’m sticking to BasicSync for now. I think either is fine.
You won’t own your AAA games any more
Meh, solid indie games are usually better anyway. I’ve generally actively avoided AAA titles. Undertale, Cave Story, Slay the Spire, Hellcard, Slice & Dice, FTL, Noita, etc. can barely be touched by even the grandest AAA titles. Shiny graphics a compelling game do not make.
Move to Linux! I would be happy to personally help anyone here who is interested yet unsure.
This sure seems good, right?
True, let’s fast-forward to the barren, human-less future.
You should probably capitalize the name “Scratch” or else it sounds like you made them “from the ground up”/starting with nothing.
The best 3-person co-op is the deckbuilder Hellcard; it blows StS/2 out of the water, IMO.
Hmm, I didn’t realize that it’s still in Early Access. But yeah, StS1 has a bunch of mods I still haven’t checked out yet.
Well, anyway, I think people praising StS2’s multiplayer clearly haven’t played Hellcard. Perhaps I’m spoiled by it because I think it’s the best co-op deckbuilder so far.
I didn’t review it, but… I have been honestly a little disappointed. I thought there would be more characters and it doesn’t feel different enough from StS, like, the original characters are more the same than different, really.
The multiplayer in particular sucks. There is nearly no coordination at all; you’re all just playing it separately together, versus Hellcard in which you are tightly coordinating exactly which enemy order to strike in what player order, every time. The decks are actually critical in synergizing there. I would rather play Hellcard for multiplayer every time, so it was disappointing to me that Megacrit didn’t play Hellcard or learn from its fantastic design.
Like what? Could they be nullified if we just disabled its Internet access?
It just keeps getting better and better. As far as I know, it pioneered quoting parts of messages inside replies; I wonder how many other chat apps will catch on and mimic it.
Mostly due to lobbying?
I have noticed no difference but I’m also one of those users who only sync while their phone is charging (especially because I have a synced computer on less than half the time, so it’s a waste of energy to have my phone constantly seek for my other devices online), so I don’t know if my experience is relevant if your syncing is constant.
I like to fine-tune my control based on charging in case I experience data loss once in a blue moon, to eliminate panic about the loss immediately daisy-chaining to other devices. I guess I don’t understand/trust how file retrieval through the trash system works…
