corbin@infosec.pubOPto Technology@lemmy.world•I missed out on 3D movies, but they're back in VREnglish3·6 months agoYeah it would be nice to get Movies Anywhere or something fully on board. All the movie studios are sitting on 3D movies already, they just need to make the app(s).
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games storeEnglish11·7 months agodeleted by creator
Because PCs are worse for living room/controller gameplay, you have to deal with Windows or Linux, and many other factors?
The exact same services? Did YouTube exist in the 1980s?
The Mozilla FUD where I said I like Firefox and pointed out how many of the projects continued in some form after Mozilla ended them?
corbin@infosec.pubOPto Games@lemmy.world•Game consoles are now smartphones, and that's okayEnglish11·10 months agoModern consoles are pretty great about backwards compatibility. There’s room to improve for sure, but an Xbox Series X/S can play all Xbox One/Series games, plus hundreds of 360 and original Xbox games. PS5 is a bit worse with only PS4 backwards compat. The Switch is in the roughest shape, because PowerPC emulator or hardware compatibility wasn’t practical with the design or hardware of the original Switch.
corbin@infosec.pubOPto Games@lemmy.world•Game consoles are now smartphones, and that's okayEnglish2·10 months agoThey still have the benefit of being a fixed hardware platform with guaranteed compatibility for the games built for them.
corbin@infosec.pubOPto Technology@beehaw.org•These repairable phones still aren't built to last9·10 months agoEven if official support isn’t possible past a certain point (Google and Samsung are pushing 7+ years, fwiw), all phones need to have a bootloader unlock mechanism for unofficial support past that point. LineageOS or mobile Linux with some broken functionality is still better than nothing.
corbin@infosec.pubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation?11·11 months agoThe entire 2001: A Space Odyssey series should be a TV show.
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish12·11 months agoGame publishers are not your friend.
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish23·11 months ago“Gentleman’s NDA” is not a thing. It’s either a legally-binding NDA or it’s not. It’s within Valve’s right to ban him from the game but saying the game shouldn’t be covered at all is silly.
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish106·11 months agoIf every news outlet avoided a topic because the company wouldn’t outright confirm its existence, we would never have reporting based on leaks and rumors. That’s dumb and would make journalism worse for everyone.
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish317·11 months agoIf Valve wants to be shitty about it, that’s within their right (unless they want to sue, which would be difficult to defend in court without a written legal agreement). It is also true that other outlets are free to do handshake agreements to not cover the game. The Verge didn’t break any rules, and Valve already maintains a minimal relationship with the press, so not talking to The Verge probably wouldn’t change anything.
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish210·11 months agoThe rest of the industry uses embargo agreements with mutual consent if they have private information. This doesn’t change anything for other game companies, unless they also want to do private-but-not-private beta tests.
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish101·11 months agoThey did ask Valve:
Though Valve didn’t respond to my requests for comment

corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish3·11 months agoValve barely talks to press anyways, in a very similar fashion as Apple. At worst, maybe The Verge won’t get a Steam Deck 2 review unit ahead of time or something.
corbin@infosec.pubto Games@lemmy.world•The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret ShooterEnglish2·11 months agoYep, tech and game companies use invite-only systems to generate hype constantly. Bluesky is another recent example.
Not really, even the cheap phones have large screens now. There’s no correlation anymore between price and screen size, the cheap phones just have lower quality panels.
