Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

It's UE4 game not a UE5. That helps.

Stop blaming developers. It’s management that doesn’t want to give the developers the time and money to optimize their game. Devs know how to optimize their game, they aren’t stupid. They can’t do shit if they don’t get the time to work on it.

Also

So, ports like Stellar Blade on PC are great for fans to see, and I'm hoping game developers and publishers can look at this as a template going forward.

Yeah that’s not how it works, you can’t look at other games and see how to optimize your game. Every game engine and game works differently under the hood.

People often say "developers" when referring to development studios, which includes management. They don't necessarily mean individual software developers.

That's probably mostly true but optimisation is becoming a lost art from that some devs just don't know.

It's a negative feedback loop.

The less time you can spend optimizing games the less you know how to optimize games. The less you know how to optimize games the more time it takes to optimize games. Optimizing games becomes too costly for management. Goto 10.

Stellar Blade performs well despite using Denuvo. Imagine how much better it will run when Denuvo is removed.
