Check out 'Rimworld'

I've sunk many hours into the game. It rarely goes on discount but I and many other players have found the price tag pays for the hours of content it provides many times over

P.S I find the newer caves to be much more challenging and certainly more interesting than the old caves. Plus you can just not use the recipe book and play on hard or hardcore mode

haui_lemmy,

I actually own rimworld and multiple dlcs. Ive sunk 300+ hrs in there as well. Its awesome, no doubt. I raided a hole planet once which was fun. Good suggestion though. :)

If you still like Minecraft, you can go back to a version you are interested in. Many people are still playing beta 1.7.3. Maybe try the “Better than adventure” mod.

Also have a look at vintage story.

haui_lemmy,

Thats an awesome idea! I might do this. Thanks.

Definitely No Man’s Sky

It was bad at launch, sure, but the expectations of the game were way outta proportion to what a game could deliver on

Navarian,

The problem I had with no man’s sky is that a large amount of the out of proportion expectations were a direct result of the developers over promising, rather than consumers just being over hyped.

Sir_Fridge, do games w Best ergonomic/vertical mouse for FPS gaming?

I use an MX and I have arthritis. It’s one of the few mice I can use for a long time without my hands hurting.

Also play borderlands, get weapon that shoots as fast as you can pull the trigger, set fire to scroll wheel and blast your way through hordes of enemies with free scroll lol.

I would highly recommend the Logitech Ergo trackball for non gaming use.

lupec, do gaming w With Nintendo Switch Online having emulators like gba and 64 etc. Would you play those versions or would you continue to emulate those games on another device?

The way companies try and upsell retro games rarely ever wins me over, so I just stick to emulation on my Deck, whatever pocketable emulation device I own at the moment and PC 99% of the time. I’m a technical user and I have no qualms with pirating unrealistically priced or hard to access content, so the barrier of entry is basically zero to me. The only collections and such that catch my eye are the ones with additional QoL features, good supplementary material, stuff like that. I don’t even mean basic features like filters, scaling options, save states or rewinding, RetroArch probably does it better anyway, I mean things I wouldn’t be able to get otherwise like added difficulty settings or expanded content.

The perfect examples of what I’m looking for are things like Atari 50 and The Making of Karateka. Unrealistic to expect of most, granted, but the gold standard as far as I’m concerned. A good, more vanilla example is the Mega Man Battle Network collections, since they have proper online play and content that was previously Japan only.

I have a Logitech MX Vertical and like it pretty well, but the only other vertical mouse I tried was some knock-off from Amazon that died after a couple years.

Over the years, I’ve become one to keep my media use as legit as possible. No judgement on anyone who doesn’t, but for a variety of reasons I have chosen to.

For retro games, that means my process is:

  • Evercade - I’m a huge fan of the Evercade ecosystem and if a game is available there I will play it there first.
  • NSO - For games not available on Evercade, my next stop will be Switch Online.
  • Collections - If a game isn’t available on NSO, I’ll see if it’s available via a collection. Think Castlevania Collections, Arcade Archives, Namco Museums, etc. For these I’ll typically check reviews before picking it up and make sure the games play well as that’s not always a guarantee.
  • Unlicensed emulation - Only at that point will I fire up a game on my raspberry pi.

Though honestly I can’t really be bothered to tinker with shit as much anymore these days, so often (but not always) by the time I arrive at unlicensed emulation as the solution I’ll just decide to play something else instead.

DmMacniel,

Evercade - I’m a huge fan of the Evercade ecosystem and if a game is available there I will play it there first.

Heck yeah. The Evercade Library is so~ expansive, and the emulation is top-notch! Love that I can hook my Handheld to the VS as an additional controller, share the modules and savestates between the two consoles…

Frankly emulating on other systems is simply better by all the improvements you can do over the base experience. Especially when it comes to 3D games. Not to mention the libraries are much more expansive. I think the only advantage of NSO is the integrated online multiplayer being more seamless and easier to find other players in.

Great game. If you even remotely like PoE, give Tyranny a try.

MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

I actually loved Tyranny more, but act 3 is seriously rushed. Also new game+ is meh at best.

micka190,

Tyranny was such a fun game (rushed act 3 aside). I really wish we’d get more games that explore being the bad guys without:

  • Immediately trying to overthrow them
  • Making it into a joke/comedy
MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

True true. We need more anti-heroes.

micka190,

No no no, see that’s the opposite of what I want. I want more games where you can just straight-up be the villains. Not an anti-hero, not someone who’s trying to change the system from within, not a secret rebel who needs to go along with the bad stuff to keep their cover.

I want more games where you can just be a villain. I want more games where you can rob the banks, kill the NPCs that aren’t listening, have a big fortress of doom, and fight-off heroes who are trying to stop you.

Not because of some gray moral backstory that somehow justifies some of it (or that will have people jumping through hoops to justify it like with Mr. Freeze and his wife).

Just because you can.

Tyranny gives you a bunch of options to just be evil and not enough RPGs do that properly.

MeanEYE,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, I misunderstood you. Yeah, it would be refreshing to see that as well.

@Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world avatar

I loved Tyranny, but the combat was much worse compared to PoE. For newcomers I would recommend the lowest difficulty setting so they can enjoy the excellent writing and story.

@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

Dammit PoE is way too overloaded of an acronym. I thought you were referring to Path of Exile and got confused.

Shurimal,

Power over Ethernet
Perl Object Environment
PowerOpen Environment
Product of Experts
Platform for Open Exploration
Post Occupancy Evaluation
Port of entry

I'm sure there are more.

toxicbubble420, do gaming w With Nintendo Switch Online having emulators like gba and 64 etc. Would you play those versions or would you continue to emulate those games on another device?

considering some games take years to play, I’d rather pay to own than do an annual subscription. otherwise, I’ll gladly emulate

WilfordGrimley, do gaming w What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations?

Fallout 76.

The game is really fun now. Only downside is the monetization (subscription model for infinite storage space)

Even better with friends in my opinion.

Play Java edition and play large modpacks. The servers I’ve played on have an average age of 25-35.

Enkers,

Yeah, this, not too many kids playing GT:NH.

haui_lemmy,

Thanks for the suggestion. I already host a couple java servers which is what keeps me playing. Its the changes to the game itself that keep me guessing as well as the low key fear that java may get discontinued at some point because bedrock make number go up.

MaggiWuerze, do gaming w With Nintendo Switch Online having emulators like gba and 64 etc. Would you play those versions or would you continue to emulate those games on another device?

The Emulator on the Switch runs like ass for many games. So I’d stick with emulators

pfm, (edited ) do zapytajszmer w Disroot

Disroot to platforma udostępniająca usługi szanujące prywatność. Mogę polecić te usługi, choć są bardzo różne i ich poziom bezpieczeństwa jest różny. Cześć usług wymaga posiadania konta, cześć nie.

Zależnie od tego, czego potrzebujesz, mogę powiedzieć o tych usługach więcej.

Na stronie howto.disroot.org są różne instrukcje, niestety polskie tłumaczenie nie jest aktywnie rozwijane w tej chwili.

edit:
Na pewno polecam:

  • pocztę (choć szyfrowanie takie jak ma np. Proton Mail nie jest dostępne a jedyna opcja żeby mieć coś porównywalnego jest dopiero w przygotowaniu),
  • CryptPad (na którym można w grupie edytować dokumenty, robić ankiety i ogólnie organizować pracę),
  • PrivateBin (wklejki jak pastebin, ale bez reklam i innego szajsu, z opcją automatycznego kasowania po wybranym czasie).
lysy,

Jak pfm napisał - to jest platforma udostępniająca usługi. Ja z Disroota dodatkowo polecam notatki, zadania, kalendarz, kontakty i najważniejsze - konto Xmpp, dzięki czemu mogę używać moich ulubionych komunikatorów, korzystających z tego bardzo mocno zdecentralizowanego protokołu (Xmpp), do komunikacji z innymi.

@dj1936 jak potrzebujesz jakiejś porady przy założeniu, czy korzystaniu z konta Disroot to polecam się jako wsparcie :)
