Coming to Game Pass: Neon White, Flock, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and More by daniyyel in c/xbox@lemmy.world
[-] daniyyel@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Excited about Neon White and Case of the Golden Idol. Although I still have to begin Chants of Sennaar as well. Seems some of the best (indie) games of the last years are coming to Game Pass, which is of course great.

[Request] Fork an open source version of Connect (suggestions and discussion welcomed) by daniyyel in c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca
[-] daniyyel@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

I remember the developer mentioned something about this once, and I had to scroll way to far back to find it: https://lemmy.ca/comment/1264956

I can totally understand being somewhat insecure about your code, or have the feeling that you need to do this/this/that before you can publish it online. And indeed dealing with an issue tracker, pull request that people expect you to review, forks of your code being published elsewhere, finding and trusting other developers to commit directly to your project can feel stressful. Disabling issues and pull request on GitHub could resolve some of these issues.

Connect is a fantastic app, and still my favourite lemmy client. I hope it will continue to work en be great for a long time. And most importantly that the developers still has fun working on the project.

Poll: How would you rate the Xbox Games Showcase? by daniyyel in c/xbox@lemmy.world
[-] daniyyel@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Missed a bit of variation in the games. I felt alot of it was 3D with guns and generic video game graphics. Would have been nice to have to have a platformer, or some titles with distinct art styles.

Issues with external avatars and metadata images by daniyyel in c/support@lemm.ee
[-] daniyyel@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the avatars in Connect, I see that it tries to load https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png?format=webp&thumbnail=64 , which indeed leads to a 404 error. The problem is in the additional query parameters added to the URL. Without them the image does load. It's not just a URL encode issue, as the fully URL-encoded https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png%3Fformat%3Dwebp%26thumbnail%3D64 also gives the same error. So it might just be a bug Lemmy itself.

It's a great game, from a great developer. So you shouldn't regret anything.

Apps that shouldn't be Subscriptions by daniyyel in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[-] daniyyel@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I agree that a lot of subscriptions are really overpriced, but updates to an app are also a sort-of service. Pixelmator explained it quite well when their app switched to a subscription model, mentioning some fair (I think) pros and cons of the succession model, both from the perspective of users and developers.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is a multi-platform release, but that isn't stopping Xbox from giving it the full first-party treatment. Xbox users booting up their console today were greeted with a large splash screen prompting them to buy it now that the new campaign is out, and some of them aren't too happy about it.

Microsoft reorgs its Xbox team (www.theverge.com)
submitted 1 year ago by daniyyel@lemm.ee to c/xbox@lemmy.world
6 comments fedilink

Microsoft is promoting Matt Booty to president of game content and studios, including the new responsibility of ZeniMax, and Sarah Bond to Xbox president, overseeing all Xbox platform and hardware work.

The Xbox changes mean Booty will now lead an expanded organization inside Microsoft Gaming that now includes ZeniMax and Bethesda. Booty’s expanded role should help Microsoft Gaming avoid scenarios like Redfall in the future, with Microsoft clearly focusing on better collaboration between the teams it acquired with the ZeniMax / Bethesda acquisition.

Bond will now take over the hardware and software platforms of Xbox. She will now be responsible for the future of Xbox, both in hardware and software.

These Xbox leadership changes mean there will be more women in gaming leadership roles at Microsoft than men once Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, departs at the end of 2023.

Xbox and cloud help boost Microsoft’s Q1 2024 earnings (www.theverge.com)

Xbox hardware revenue has declined 7 percent, but Xbox content and services revenue, which includes Xbox Game Pass, is up by 13 percent, though. Overall gaming revenue is also up 9 percent. It looks like Xbox Game Pass has grown year over year, but Microsoft is still not providing updated subscriber numbers.

What have you played on Gamepass last week? Any recommendations? by daniyyel in c/xbox@lemmy.world
[-] daniyyel@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I just finished Inside. A really weird and wonderful game. In terms of gameplay quite similar to Planet of Lana, which I played before. Both are quite short. I you haven't played Inside before, don't look anything up, and just start playing. The less you know before hand, the better it will be.
