They said to get her own game. Not her own interactive nightmare.

Rai,

SQUADILLAH!

Sounds positive. Not quite a BotW/TotK-banger, but I didn’t expect such a quirky concept to score big on the first outing. Only spotted one truly critical review in there, and even that was more “It’s a neat idea, but doesn’t truly pan out all that well”.

Definitely getting this. Exciting!

fleg, do wolnyinternet w Hostowanie kalendarza

Używałem NextCloud i dawał radę na tyle, na ile NextCloud może dawać radę (ogólnie nie jestem jego fanem, bo mam wrażenie że to straszna kobyła i próbuje mieć wszystko co tylko się da, jednocześnie każdą funkcjonalność mając jako-tako po łebkach, ale no kalendarz nie był gorszy od reszty).

github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?… - tutaj jest kilka ciekawych sugestii, ale żadnej nie testowałem.

czeskilager,

korzystam z nextclouda poprzez konto założone na disroot, wydają sie być uczciwi. ale wiadomo, self-hosting lepszą opcją

fleg,

Zgadzam się, Disroot jest spoko.

Maybe it didn’t do as well as they’d hoped, but back of the napkin guesstimates sure make it hard to believe DD2 wasn’t profitable.

Jaderick,

I played it in alpha (?) when it first came out and it was alright. I played it for like 3 hours, but never felt a desire to revisit it.

warm,

Darkest Dungeon was just one of them titles that isn't that suited for a sequel.

Whitebrow,

I agree with the sentiment and it’s weird that it can be applied to quite a few recent games, frostpunk 2 comes to mind as the latest one of these

warm,

It's an attempt at piggybacking off the success of the first game, but they don't take the time to understand why it was successful and if a sequel is needed. I'd love to see devs try something new when they find success instead of just pumping out a number 2.

mosiacmango,

I read it more like they did well, but after a decade making the same game in a couple of iterations, they just want to be done. So sell the company, make 10x what you could running it, and just head on out.

From Keza McDonald’s review for the Guardian:

The main difference between Link and Zelda is that Zelda can’t fight. Instead, with a magical staff, she can summon material “echoes” of real objects from thin air – which could be anything from a cut of meat to distract monsters, to crates and tables to construct towers and staircases. When you come across the usual Zelda selection of deceptively mild-looking monsters, you can simply conjure a spear-wielding Moblin or a few bats into existence to dispatch them for you. Or, failing that, you can manifest a pot and throw it at whatever’s menacing you.

I did get used to Echoes of Wisdom’s new way of doing things as time went by – but I didn’t love it. There’s lots to like about it; particularly the painfully cute toylike aesthetic, which makes Hyrule feel a bit like like a giant Polly Pocket, and Zelda’s adorable horse. It’s a good game, and its mishmash of intersecting ideas does bring something new to Zelda. But I hope that the next time we play as Zelda, it feels more empowering.

So it sounds like this is the type of game that appeals to sickos that liked playing summoner necro in Diablo 2 (i’m one of those sickos). Except obviously it works better than that bc the entire game is built around it.

474D, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

Do people really feel this strongly about the Sims? I thought it’s been irrelevant for like a decade

HeartyOfGlass,

It’s only been “irrelevant” because of the poor reception to Sims 4. The Sims was the first great “life sim” game, and the 3rd installment added a crazy amount of content. That’s all we wanted. More stuff to decorate with and places for our Sims to explore. Nah, Sims 4 took away the variety and added paywalls and multiplayer and was just generally a poor experience.

For anyone holding out hope for #5, this is on par with Blizzard announcing their smartphone diablo game. EA killed this franchise, and yeah I’m a little sad about it.

smokebuddy, do games w I think Sims is a dead franchise now

I watched the LGR Video then saw this and it looks bleak. EA promised to update the NHL series into the new Frostbite engine and all we got was the same game with the same glitches plus a bunch of new ones and longer load times. Even now like 4 years later it’s not worth playing, a total mess. A real shame Life By You got cancelled I had that on my wishlist and it looked almost finished…

I still play Sims 3 with the entire pirate pack from time to time, guess the tradition will continue for now

CCMan1701A,

I stopped with the NHL updates back with NHL 99 even they were basically just roster updates over NHL 97

DrQuint, do games w What's your favourite colony sim on PC?

I feel like I should recommend Dwarf Fortress but I also feel like I should NOT recommend Dwarf Fortress.

Look, I’ll just leave Dwarf Fortress here in the corner, peering into the room and the rest of us can try to ignore it. But it’s there.

AdmiralShat,

Dwarf Fortress isn’t a colony sim game, though

It’s a tavern corpse clean up sim.

Project Zomboid, because being surprised attacked or swarmed by zombies scares me

You do know 7 days to die? A lot less deadly, first person and much more base building. Still overall a similar concept.

kabukimeow,
@kabukimeow@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know it, I’ll check it out. Thanks!

CrabAndBroom,

Yeah I really like Zomboid because no matter how established you are, it only takes one fuck-up or unlucky break and you’re done for. So the fear never really lets up.

I actually had an experience in that game that I don’t think I’ve ever had in a game before - I was sneaking around at night looting houses, and I got to one house, perfectly normal looking and some instinct in my brain went “nope, there’s something bad there” and I just walked away and went home lol.

If they wanted DD2 to do better, why didn’t they make it a better game?

Fromsoft would be more likely acquiring them, so actually start pushing.

@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah, nah, boss, you gonna need at least 3 more of those bad boys.

ArmoredThirteen,

Only one needs to have charge though right? It’ll just drain really fast. Or am I misremembering

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

I don’t think it’ll work without enough voltage

Psythik,

Depends on whether the batteries were hooked up in either series or parallel. Later GameBoys only needed 2 batteries but required the same voltage, so I’m guessing that the OG GB is wired in series-parallel.

So in other words, you need at least two batteries to be good for this to work in the OG GB. Later editions need both batteries to hold a charge to reach 3V.

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

The og, as depicted in the meme, needs 4 batteries, but I remember from experience as a kid that it wouldn’t work with a few dead batteries and one good one. Sometimes it would work out if they had enough juice in them, though. It wasn’t nearly as picky as my Nomad was.

Dijon,

From my knowledge, it’s kinda the opposite - when a device first runs out of battery, it’s almost always the case that only one of the batteries is truly dead. So if you find that one dead battery and swap it out, you’ll be good again for a surprisingly long while

@AllOutOfBubbleGum@lemmy.world avatar

10yo me realized that other sized batteries that were also 1.5v could be used as well if I had enough tape and aluminum foil, so then all the flashlight D batteries around the house started to go missing as well.

The kid who jury rigged their gameboy to a power adapter is probably an electrical engineer by now.

Rozz,

I had a plug that went with rechargeable batteries or something, and it was great for a while, but then the connector failed and if I moved at all the gameboy would turn off. very frustrating.
