It is great for video games. Other content can work with it but that would be more finnicky. I have successfully got movies and downloaded TV shows to appear in it but you have to set them up like emulated games. The neat part is for older content, you can actually load it up in Retroarch and gain access to Retroarch’s screen shaders like the CRT shaders, which can add a nice touch to older 4:3 content.
I have the same one. Works well for what I need it for.
Yes, the keyboard wont require regular use but you should still have one. You can use a frontend like I do, but there will always be little quirks or issues with updates so youll have to keep a mouse and keyboard handy, but you dont need to have it always visible or to use for the system, just for correcting problems.
I set up an HTPC for emulation and gaming. LaunchBox is my frontend of choice. Set up the PC to autoreboot every day at 3am. It only occasionally has an issue where LaunchBox crashes and needs to be manually restarted or something needs an update.
Could?
Will. By design.
My goals are beyond your understanding.
Sensationalism sells.
Bloober said Piotr’s actual words were: “The Steam version has generated considerable interest, and we believe that, in addition to PlayStation (for which the game was initially announced), the Steam version will also be a success. Both we and Konami are pleased with the collaboration and are confident that this is not the end of our journey together.”
“That’s not what we said! What we actually said was [AI generated PR statement].”
Yeah nah, this is 100% trying to save face for Konami. Not that I really care much either way coming from Bloober Team, but still.
No, it will be fine. It doesn’t need a case.
Average modern games “journalism”
He doesn’t hate diversity, in games or anything else. He is annoyed by forced diversity, like most normal people.
Just make cool stuff without trying to check boxes, its not hard.
Its more than nostalgia. The games actually look better because thats what they were designed with.
Nowadays people seem to use “nostalgia” as some hand waive to dismiss something as unnecessary or invalid. But in this case it is actually necessary, old games just do not look good on any display technology other than CRTs. Shaders come extremely close, and if you have an HDR compatible screen that gets bright and vibrant enough, shaders can be nearly comparable to real CRTs.
It hurts me that the Castlevania screenshot does not match the pattern of the other screenshots with filter on the left and raw on the right.
EDIT: Thank you for fixing it.
Sometimes it seems like Lemmy users sort by most negative first just so they can keep dogpiling on the comments with negative vote score.
Which is a Reddit behaviour, and probably came from whatever existed before Reddit too.
FromSoftware has never made a game I didn’t enjoy. From their well known games like Dark Souls, Armored Core, and now apparently everyone on Earth knows about King’s Field, to their more niche titles like Metal Wolf Chaos, Kuon, and The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. Yes, I even liked Ninja Blade.
Except Steel Battalion for the Xbox 360 but that is entirely because Capcom mandated the Kinect be used for controls.
Also am a big fan of Konami, pre-2005. They never really had huge masterpieces aside from what Kojima and Team Silent made, but their other games were fun and varied, taking on almost an experimental position. Games like Gungage were very engaging, if a little short.
Its to entice people to spend more.
The thing I dislike about MMORPGs is that they always have the same problem, and its always because the game is an MMORPG:
The whole game feels like an amusement park.
The scale of buildings and hallways is always comical. I always have to wait in line for a dungeon/raid/boss/NPC, etc. NPCs always feel like theyre there for a photo op and everyone is always crowding around them.
I wish that MMORPGs could add a feature where I can play in my own “channel,” where the only other players that appear on my screen are ones I have invited to my channel. Because some MMORPGs are appealing to me, its just I don’t like the crowds of ten trillion people all doing the same task “only a hero can do.”
I am pretty dumb, so probably.
This image is reminding me of the old Command & Conquer box art, its too bad Frostpunk plays absolutely nothing like C&C, otherwise I might’ve played it.
Im gonna do it
It is similar to Steam Big Picture Mode, yeah. Its got a special mode called BigBox mode, its designed to mimic console UIs. There are a lot of community made themes that change up how it looks.
You could probably use something like autohotkey or some gamepad mapper to link Chrome into LaunchBox. I have never tried it, but you can technically add any executable with a field for launch arguments.
