It has recently come to our attention that the users of /games/ are seeking a reliable method of communication for online play and general conversation about games. I am unsure if anyone is aware, but, there currently exists and unoffical matrix room specifically for this located at: https://matrix.to/#/!YWrRUKLasccyNpfbue:matrix.org?via=matrix.orgI’m gonna tear this game a new asshole

If you know the bug behind why the far lands existed or why minecraft needs a world border you’ll know the games bug is a fundamental problem of Java itself not being able to calculate numbers past a level of precision. There’s APIs to get around this that fundamentally add a new number type typically called big int or big floating point specifically designed to allow computers to use up more memory to calculate arbitrarily large numbers(in the sense of significant digits)Games should work towards advancements in optimization

Some of the changes seem fun though. The devs are making their own game Terra Invicta which looks cool, hopefully it's out soon.I hate world of Warcraft but on one side I feel like I shouldn’t
If your old enough to know this you’ll know world of Warcraft since it’s inception yes even before activism on merged with blizzard that world of earcraft was designed to be a casual mmo(at least casual by 90s standards if the game was released today in that state people would whine endlessly about the grind and difficulty curve) since it’s initial release and that design philosophy hasn’t changed.MGS4 and the 4th industrial revolution
There has been a lot of discussion about how prophetic MGS2 and Death Stranding were, with respect to internet memes and censorship, and middle class lockdown life, respectively. But what about MGS4?

I played it myself already.Reach
Not a big Xbox guy, I've only played this version of Halo but holy shit, this game, and its story are a masterpiece. There's no video game like it that will give you the feeling of despair quite like Reach. I don't even know if there's a Halo that catches anywhere near the ambiance and intensity of Reach.Fear & Hunger
I‘ve become obsessed with this game. I haven‘t played anything in a long time that could invoke strong emotions in me, but this shit was morbid in a way I have never seen in a game before. It‘s a horror RPG and is as if you turned Berzerk into a game. People say Dark Souls is hard, but Dark Souls is a picknick compared to this game.. the randomization also gives the game some replay value. And speaking of Dark Souls, if you like environmental story telling this is another plus, since you have to piece the information of the surrounding world together. And you can easily get the game for free, but I ended up donating the developers some money anyway./gamedev/ - Game Development General (SHARE YOUR VIDEOGAME IDEAS ITT)

Lately I’ve seen a huge influx of good games that try to update the outdated capitalist realist Cyberpunk genre to the current political and economic landscape. Stuff like Disco Elysium is getting more and more recognition they rightfully deserve for depicting the hopeless and bleak death of modern revolution. However they’re still have some semblance of hope like with Ghostrunner having the corporation being destroyed by a revolution in contrast to the sad oppression of the system.MMZ

Has anyone ever considered launching mass TKing operations in WW2 multiplayer games? They seem to be a hub for proto-chinlets AKA Wehrboos. Might not be a bad place to bash the fash in the virtual world. I've been getting into Hell let Loose and It's amazing how much damage a single malevolent player can do to their own team. Kill an officer while they are building an outpost spawn, snipe people behind friendly lines to sew confusion. Imagine what 5 or 6 players who join the Nigzi team could do if they coordinated on fbi.gov or something. A single mass TK event could absolutely throw a game for these Nigzis. Do it enough and it could discourage people from wanting to play as the Nigzis, because they might not even be able to trust their own teammates. Why hasn't something like this been tried. Nigzis should always be reminded of what losers they are, both IRL and online.Low Spec Community gaming

>"PvP servers for Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls: Remastered have been temporarily deactivated to allow the team to investigate recent reports of an issue with online services," Dark Souls' Twitter account wrote. "Servers for Dark Souls: PtDE will join them shortly. We apologize for this inconvenience. This downtime does not affect PvP servers for Xbox or PlayStation consoles."Remove the ui
I’m amazed at how much better most fps games get when you remove the UI, suddenly without the crosshair, hitmarkers, maps, sfx for hits and headshots, killfeeds, hp bars whatever the player is put into a position where they HAVE to think a lot more about how they play the game. Suddenly your having to take cover wherever you can and check to make sure whatever you kill is actually dead because the removal of the ui forces you to take the risk of confirming kills than a kill feed giving you points and a description for what you killed and that’s just for kills. Crosshairs removals force you to aim and consider what’s worth shooting at vs what’s not, map removal forces you to record your surroundings and learn to navigate where you need to be by yourself, quest tree removals forces you to archive what your doing instead of being told what you have to finish in game making how you play feel a lot more optional, you get itFUCKING BATNIGGERS

Hi, /Gay/mers. It's Agent Kochinski here, back at you today with another thread. This time we'll be analyzing the context of dwarf fortress using Marxist Dialecticals.Tamriel is a settler colonized continent
So what is settler colonialism and how do we recognize it’s existence? Settler colonialism is a form of colonization where the invading regime/population seeks to build a civilization on conquered land vs simply extracting resources and/or ruling over the indigenous population. Settler colonialism is almost by definition always genocidal in nature, where the invaders seeks to eradicate the indigenous population physically, culturally, and genetically from the land so their own descendents can take up permanent residence. In the real world examples of settler colonies include the entirety of the western hemisphere including the US, New Zealand, Australia, Israel and other nations. All of these nations engage in a pattern of eradication/slavery, asserting sovereignty over the land, and in most cases attempting to erase the act of conquest itself and trying to naturalize their presence upon indigenous land.Diablo

If no one has played this great classic space sim from the golden age of pc gaming (90s to mid 2000s) you owe it a chance. Descent Freespace, including the silent threat expansion and the sequel, Descent Freespace 2, are arguably the greatest games ever created in the space sim genre.A critique on modern game design
Modern games are boring as shit because the player has no reason to play the game. This sounds retarded but it's true, modern games are designed with an end goal, too many games are either multiplayer minigames or open world games where the world is filled with nothing and you have no sense as to what your supposed to do in those games, what ends up happening is the player either feels as if they're aimlessly moving a character in the game accomplishing quite frankly nothing or have already finished the game like in games like Alex legends or modern warfare and thus have 0 reason to open or play the game again as it's unlikely they'll find anything new or interesting to play. This lack of a purpose is one of the reasons as to why games since the late 2000s started seeing a noticeably declining quality in actual game design despite the fact that graphical technology has improved(of course if your willing to pay thousands just to run new releases at consistent frame rates than it's an improvement) and player dissatisfaction has risen to a point where ancientfags in gaming either have given up on new releases due to fears of wasting their money on a game that's gonna be shit and bug infested day 1. I blame world of warcraft for this trend as they made the belief that you can get players consistently spending on a game without a real purpose, and with it a bunch of new MMOs hoping to copy world of warcrafts success started launching all while making mistakes the developers of WOW had already came over during the 90s and early 2000s, suddenly the open world format would become an increasing normality with franchises like far cry and soon the world of modern gaming began to decay over a reason that could be fixed pretty easily. Oh wellConsole exclusivity
I am a socialist in almost every aspect in my life. I help organize, I promote worker rights, I don't ignore feminist and racial struggles. Yet when it comes to console exclusivity I transform into the complete opposite of everything I believe in. As an owner of a console, I enjoy exclusives and I hate it whenever an exclusive gets ported to PC. I know every game being on every piece of hardware especially PC is the right, moral, and "proletarian" choice, but I can't help but rage and denounce at the sight of any exclusive, even the ones from a different console, gets ported.Graphics dont matter
Theres no way to improve 3d models, textures or lighting anymore what matters are animations and physics along with art and game design these days, battlefield 2042 wont look better than bfv, bf3 hell maybe not even bad company 2 but what it can do to show it's an improvement is by implementing improvements to its physics engine to make the world feel more interactible and immersive like bf1The Next Cinematic Universe

What about a mod of minecraft in which you relive eastern european history. So you begin like normally, then you find a village, if you make a certain advancement, or create certain tool to grow crops more efficiently, then you get to take villagers as slaves, but you can only do it by subjugating other villages, so that when you eventually run out of villages nearby then you can simply take them as serfs. then you implement a trading system like the one there is now, but make it so that after becoming masters some villagers become teachers of their craft and teach it to other villagers, and then make it so that at a certain point it becomes more profitable for the player to trade with these, and he becomes compeled to drive away serf villagers, and create capitalism.
