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.

Finally. The old player was buggy and kept defaulting to 1080p when it's not fullscreened.

Finally we can watch all the trailers that radical christian groups allow us to watch without interruptions!

Enjoy your violence!

And it STILL doesnt follow basic video player logic.

  • Space doesnt pause the video
  • Double click and F dont invoke full screen
  • M doest mute
  • Arrow keys dont work for skipping

Maybe they updated since your post but literally all of these things work both in browser and in Steam itself.

Guess i will test it again later. Thx for the heads up :)

Goddamn. It's about time.

[–] bread@feddit.nl 56 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Did they make sure to get permission from payment processors before implementing this?

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's about damn time, there were times I'd just go watch the trailer on YouTube instead when it would be glitching out.

Now if they could just fix the UI when navigating screen caps in full screen on Steam Deck, that'd be great.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

When they do this? Because can't seem to get it to play on mobile browser and I used to be able to do that.

[–] Boolean@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

For reals. Long overdue. But…. Valvetime.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 27 points 2 days ago

I find the old one worked, but it did feel like somehow the corpse of RealPlayer or QuickTime was still shambling around amongst us.

[–] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the half-life subreddit has gone "they're updating the trailer video player, doesn't it mean something?" lol

[–] darkreader2636@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i'm pretty sure this means hl3 is %80 finished

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, it's just anything can be considered a sign that hl3 is 80% finished

Also, it may as well be, and then stay 80% finished for the rest of the century

Thank God, the old one broke any time I switched to full screen and stuttered like I'm dialup.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

I hope they make it play on max volume no mater what your settings, just for nostalgia's sake.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

I hope this stops it from being laggy. It's awful on big picture mode/gamescope

[–] jasoman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does it now work on steam deck?
