How to accommodate neurodiversity in video game development
  • But expecting neurodiverse people to thrive in an environment designed for neurotypical people is destined to fail, she thinks. "It's like handing someone the wrong game controller and then judging them for not being able to play the game."

    I'm not sure that this is a good attitude to have. Therapy and individual treatment can help those who are neurodivergent to become adjusted and successful members of society. And learning can actually be good for you and expose you to stuff that might help in situations down the line in future.

    I'm not against the idea of tools to assist those who are neurodivergent, but there's something to be said for overcoming diversity through work and practice and learning new skills.

    i don't think its fair to expect failure because someone isn't "thriving" in an environment they're currently in.

  • Valve change Steam's rules to let banks and credit card firms prohibit "certain kinds of adult only content"
  • this will just push more people to use local credit unions instead of large corporate banks with these kind of limitations.

    very shitty of valve, honestly.

  • I can't believe Skyrim AE can run at locked60fps with ultra settings on my low end laptop, Linux and Wine/Proton is awesome
  • i run MO2 through Proton (also you should install protontricks if you don't have it. it helps with additional wine dependencies that may be needed)

    then I use MO2 to launch SKSE modded version of the skyrim SE launcher.

    Vanilla skyrim runs perfectly with proton kinda on its own, so MO2 doesn't really have to do anything except make sure all the plugins get loaded in the proper order.

    MO2 is quite nice, actually. i use it to run the normal Bethesda skyrim.exe if I want to configure my base game settings (graphics etc) but then just exit and swap back to the SKSE launcher from MO2 and we're golden.

    I also find that CreationKit seems to play a lot more nicely when launched through MO2 than if I add it to steam and try to manually run it myself with Proton (CreationKit sucks to run, however and you'll have to get used to crashes and losing all progress so I would only recommend using it for very small tweaks.)

    but yeah! runs just fine in proton. you really only need MO2 to initially launch skse for you. then it just kinda chills while you're playing. but the software is good (though I will say there was a bit of a learning curve in my case as I am a Vortex refugee 😅)

  • Ignis Will
  • i love the texture on the skin(?). its pretty cool.

  • Cracked minecraft: where the heck is it? How do I obtain it???
  • Minetest sadly doesn't have the robust modding scene that Java minecraft has.

    Minetest is cool to play around with, but its more like a resource for testing stuff than an actual game.

  • WIP 👽🛸 Wednesday
  • ...omg is that a totoro magnetic pin holder?

    also I love the pattern its very pretty! i think I will save it! thank you for sharing! =D

  • Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off
  • no, they don't. but the game has been out for 5 years at this point.

    articles like these seem quite pointless to anyone who doesn't already own a switch 2. and possibly pointless even to people who own a switch 2, but have already played cyberpunk on better or similar hardware.

    this article is an attempt to pat a multi billion dollar company on the back so it doesn't feel as bad that people aren't racing out to buy their 5-year-late, overpriced attempts to dominate the handheld market again.

  • Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off
  • on steam at the moment, Cyberpunk is 20.99.

    Switch 2 version is 69.99

    👋thanks for trying nintendo.

  • I can't believe Skyrim AE can run at locked60fps with ultra settings on my low end laptop, Linux and Wine/Proton is awesome
  • oh no I only meant that I run at 60fps and I pretty much never get dips.

    but my modlist is mostly just vanilla+ with bugfixes. changes to combat, magic, and I did weather and lighting and textures and all that jazz as well. i have dungeon packs added that add new dungeons or extend existing dungeons to make them more huge and sprawling (Kind of like Daggerfall. I usually have to camp a couple times if they're super massive)

    if you're going to run big boys like Bruma or other hefty ones, I'd make that mod the focus of the modpack.

    mods that change animations or add custom ones seem to be kinda iffy, but I haven't had any mods requiring them yet. i would like to check into Nemisis because I hear it does some cool new stuff.

    and no need for garbage bloat mods (USSEP) anymore as a lot of bugfix packs are fairly small now. so running mods with bugfixes is now super smooth.

  • i don't run 200, but I run 58. i play on a steam deck and I use MO2 as my mod manager of choice!

    runs just fine. i only get dropped fps in some dwemer ruins, but honestly? that might not be the modlist, that could be stock skyrim. lol.

  • In this austerely beautiful moonbase management game, "your only choices will be impossible ones"
  • how can I play a moonbase management game without a vocaloid voice screaming "JOHN MADDEN! JOHN MADDEN!"?

  • Minahassa Masked Owl
  • ahhhhh I see! so the scrunchy face is meant to ward others off?

    thats a very cool trait!

  • Minahassa Masked Owl
  • Masked owls never fail to make me think of Wan Shi Tong from Avatar The Last Airbender. (probably because he is a giant masked owl)

    "He who knows 10,000 things."

    i think the masked owls have sterner expressions than their counterparts, so they always have a cold gaze. i love them very much.

    thank you for sharing such a rare guy! =D

  • Google Gemini is coming for your private apps. Here's how to stop it
