It's always events like this that make me so happy Fediverse is a thing. 10 years ago, if you said you were leaving something like Reddit or Facebook there were literally zero alternatives. FOSS apps usually has a bad rap for not being as polished as the billion dollar corporation's product, but I've been using Mastodon recently and it's incredible nice! Feels even friendlier to use than Twitter because it's not as bloated. Here's hoping Lemmy, too, will finally get over that stump and become a viable alternative.

Not as huge a deal as most people think it is. E3 was a huge event IRL but if it were digital-only literally nobody would care. Big publishers make their own E3-esque shows anyways like last year, E3 just organizes them and makes a huge hub area.
At least we still have PAX.
Veloren barely has anything to do with BotW though, it's a cube world clone.
The real answer is you could always play Elden Ring until botw 2 is out
I know this game is popular for its history and Linux mascots but honestly it's not very good. If you're interested in a FOSS kart racer, I can't sing praises of Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart enough. That game rules! It also has a ton of well made community maps and the time trials are tons of fun because driving is really satisfying when you get the physics down.
TL;DR: Delayed to Spring 2023
Disappointing, but not surprising. Games with such a large scale should take their time in development. Expectations are so high for this game they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if it isn't as good as BotW.
Definitely not. A lot of pro-FOSS people constantly argue that anticheat should be open source, but the only reason AC is effective is because hackers and cheaters don't know how it works. If it were open source, people would find ways around it, and with the new implementation of first-person aimbot hacks, this problem would increase way more because it's already hard to tell the difference.
There are new waves of hackers that use AI and machine learning to lock onto enemies and send mouse inputs to do that. They cheat doesn't even need to run on the same system you're playing on so it's nigh impossible to detect, if AC were open-source they would see how they detect hackers and play around it, and it'd be a constant battle of cat and mouse where players suffer.
And a lot of people go "DAE anti-cheat malware lately?" but if you've seen the crap people do, you'd understand why anticheat is getting more and more restrictive.
I'd like to be proven wrong but I'm pretty sure nobody will ever even try FOSS anticheat because it probably will never work.
For sure, lego games are mostly for toddlers
They won't. The decompilation is entirely legal and doesn't provide any assets, you need the rom of the game (assumedly dumped legally) to be able to compile it this. The super mario 64 decompilation project is still up and has been finished for over a year.
After the defeat of Sectonia and Star Dream, The Jambastion Mages have assembled the dark heart, and they intend to revive Void Termina and destroy the world that wronged them so much.
Fairly sure that got resolved in kirby star allies so this might be a little outdated
Thanks Nintendo man
Manuals were important in old games because there was no tutorial. It'd tell you how to play, what buttons do what, etc.
While manuals aren't a thing anymore because tutorials and the internet exist, a lot of games still make guides for an extra price. If you pre-ordered Elden Ring for example it came with a small guide book.
