kobra, do edc w Backpack recommendations?

Chrome has a few different sizes of this bag. It’s a simple waterproof bag but really matches your description and I’ve been really happy with mine.

TheFriar,

I got one of those, and it was like a black hole for my shit. Every time I needed something, I had to empty the entire bag. I sold it after like a couple weeks of use.

kobra,

That’s fair!

Based on OPs description, I think the black hole vibe is what they were going for. It filled a particular niche for me too, since it’s such a simple waterproof design and a blank slate to use my own organization and mix of other bags or pouches.

BeardedSingleMalt, do gaming w What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?

2 very recent ones on PS5

  • God of War Ragnarok: I did the story and as much f the side missions and challenges as possible. But there are a few Berserker Graves, and the final Valkyrie Gna that no matter how many times I tried it would just get absurd. I almost threw my controller through my TV a few times when trying to roll-dodge to the side for an attack after they’ve already jumped at you and, i shit you not, they change direction in mid-air.
  • Spider-Man: I did 100% the main game, all the side-quests and collectibles just not all the skills. Did all but the last DLC, but finally ragequit when trying to do the base tokens. Interior with tight corners. and you have to take out a dozen enemies including the whip-enemies attacking you from all directions…while rockets are being fired at you in the middle of 5 enemies.
Stillhart,

Oh yeah, I hated the God of War reboot. It was so cool for like 15 minutes. Then I got to the actual combat and I couldn’t stand it. It was nothing like the original, it was hard AF, it used button combinations I’ve never seen before (I think it’s based on Souls games?), etc. It was so disappointing.

I don’t mind Souls games, but I kind of hate how so many games lately (especially sequels) have been trying to low-key fit the genre when nobody asked them to. God of War, Darksiders 3…

I tried replaying the Kingdom Hearts games leading up to playing KH3. Got all the way to the final boss sequence in KH1, but I just couldn’t get past the second phase, and I didn’t have any good saves for going back and leveling up. Gave up. Already beat it as a kid when it first came out. No need to kill myself in my late-30s for it.

I’m waiting to see the switch successor. I have used mines like a lot. That, and my Retroid Pocket.

Most of the backpacks I think of all have a laptop compartment. The only two that come to mind that don’t are Jansport and Fjallraven. I don’t have any experience with either but I know they’ve been around for years(decades).

Can_you_change_your_username,

I've had a canvas Jansport for almost 30 years, I carried it for 3 years in middle school and it's been a hiking backpack since. If they're still made the same and you get a cloth one instead of those plastic character backpacks then it should last forever.

TheFriar,

I recently got a Jansport after years of kind of forgetting about them, having used them for decades at school. Still great quality, exactly what I needed. So glad with the purchase. Best purchase I’ve made for my work in a long time.

There are still MMOs. They can be a blast with a group of friends who consistently play together. Or Ark? Or Rust?

Hate to say it but World of Warcraft is the most fun I’ve had gaming with four friends. Most of the dungeon content is tailored to groups of five.

For what it’s worth I love the ps5. The ps5 controller absolutely reinvigorated my love of gaming. I know some pc games are getting the adaptive triggers but I do not think it compares.

What an insanely good game, and a blast from the past. Thank you for reminding me of it!

I liked the price point of the PS5 vs getting a solid gaming PC.

Returnal is one of my favorite games of the last few years.

Demon’s Souls is a delight for the eyes, as well. And I loved being able to replay such a classic PS3 game, even if Bluepoint modified the art direction from the original in certain ways.

FF16 was incredible, I don’t care if they trimmed down the jrpg elements

Sony seems content sending many of its exclusives over to PC after a few years, which I’m grateful for. So if you’ve got a PC I wouldn’t see a huge need for a PS5.

delitomatoes,

Good point, but Returnal is on PC and you can play with mouse kB, Demon Souls is a remaster of something I played on PS3 which blew my mind then. And FF16 has mixed reviews. I’m more into FF7 part 2, but the complete dlc edition will eventually reach PC as well.

Squizzy, do games w This console generation seems skippable

I don’t think I’ve played anything exclusive to the PS5. Not worth buying in my opinion.

I have played stuff exclusive to the switch, I mostly dislike it though. I’m not sure why, I think it’s that they don’t compete because they have us with their catalogue and I dislike their business practices, selling gimmicks and vaulting content. Especially given most of the switch games are port of Wiiu games then it probably is skippable.

I’d agree, should have skipped.

I’m really enjoying my Xbox Series X with a Gamepass subscription. I’ve played a much wider variety of games than I normally would have.

You’re right though, the jump between generations is getting less and less noticeable. N64 to Gamecube was like night and day.

My steamdeck makes me feel like I’ve gone 3rd party. It’s affordable and can run about 90 percent of releases. Plus indies and it’s not locked down by anything.

dom,

I play my steam deck WAYYYYYY more than my ps5. And quite a bit more than my switch.

Jrockwar,

The steam deck is my favourite console of this generation by far, and it’s not even 100% a console.

Jansport is excellent. I recently sent a 30-year-old bag in for warranty work which they honored at no cost to me other than shipping. A great choice.

I don’t have a current console gen (if you discard the Nintendo Switch) but I don’t want to skip it, I want a PS5 but granted I am not sure I’d get it if it wasn’t retro compatible with the huge backlog of PS4 games that I have… Even the Xbox with the game pass is feasible to me (something impossible to think for me, I have always been a Sony and Nintendo user).

The best thing about this gen so far is the rise of handheld PCs, like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. I mostly play on the Deck nowadays, while the PS5 gathers dust.

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Yep :D Really like the steamdeck too!

Rognaut,

The OLED Steam Deck has reinvigorated my love for videogames. I’m playing Dave The Diver and DBZ: Kakarot now.

Rooki,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

Nice! I have it too! Its so easy to use and to play

MajorHavoc,

Yeah, the Steam Deck (and clones) will be the cover story in this chapter of gaming history.

I’d like to think this is due the Chinese handhelds picking up where Nintendo left… (In its own way ofc 🏴‍☠️) and I’m glad I was a participant of this…

But I think it is mostly because of cloud gaming and Nintendo Switch inspiration.
