halloween was imported into this country by a costume shop in 1997. this is common knowledge and the shop itself is very proud of this fact. because of this it is an explicitly consumerist holiday, and it is younger than me by a good margin. i do not know anyone who celebrates.
Elite 2: Frontier.
elite dangerous is very close but it doesn’t really capture the seamlessness you get from not having a landing mode or frame shifting. pioneer spaceship sim is a remake in the truest sense of the word, but a remaster would fix the ui issues the original had rather than just rolling with them.
there’s always armikrog
that’s what the robot arm with the suction cup on it is for
that’s a shame. i’m not going to force it on you if you don’t enjoy the experience, but i will say that there are no mechanical progress gates at all in Outer Wilds, no intended order to do things in, and multiple interleaving threads to pull on. if you get stuck in one place, going to another may let you learn how to proceed. if it feels like you’re missing something, you probably are, and going somewhere else may help you find it.
it’s been my game of the year five years running, if that means anything. the dlc only cemented that position even more.
It’s the 2022 expansion for Outer Wilds, which released in 2019. Just as much a masterpiece as the first entry. if you know nothing, you owe it to yourself to play them.
don’t use balenaetcher, it’s a terrible piece of software. use unetbootin or usbimager.
does Echoes of the Eye count?
honestly i think it’s an age range thing.
minecraft server binaries are a prime example of a “dedicated server”. tf2 is another. the alternative is a “listen server”, where one player acts as server. note that the term’s use in gaming has very little to do with the concept of a dedicated server in general use, aka a machine dedicated to running a service. in multiplayer games a dedicated server is just the name for a binary that contains no client.
anyway, the important distinction is whether the means for the game to continue existing is in the hands of the players or the company.
the common understanding of “dedicated server” is a server binary you can download and run yourself. a “private server” is usually still hosted on the company’s hardware.
dedicated servers == player-hosted servers, usually
the wing commander series was famous for inflated development costs, freelancer was repeatedly delayed and eventually released like five years after it’s announcement, and since then… he’s been working on star citizen
*gestures vaguely at the world in general*
oh yeah they separated it out didn’t they. last time i hacked on it, minetest game was partly implemented in the core in c++.
i didn’t want to use roblox as an example as luanti is more focused on a single typ of game, and is playable in and of itself. gmod’s sandbox is akin to the default sandbox in luanti, basically a creative mode.
also i didn’t want to imply that luanti has child exploitation…
from my limited experience with it, i think this is sort of the “wrong question”. Luanti is basically to Minecraft as Garry’s Mod is to Half-Life 2 (except not really, since it’s not the same engine). It’s basically a platform at this point, with the base mechanics of Minecraft available as components for you to build your own game with. there are many different games available, and many of those games have their own mods.
there’s some automation-focused stuff in their browser but since mindshare is much smaller they are not as finished or polished. however, since there is an official modding API this time, you never know…
with proper application of sisu, it will open in both directions
but mozilla wouldn’t want any telemetry from a fork. it would mess with their data. if mozilla is on the other end they’re likely just looking at the user agent and then throwing it away.
sweden.
and I went back to check, it was imported by a costume shop in collaboration with hard rock cafe in the early 90s but the decision from the board of business to encourage people to spend for this holiday came in 97.
