Probably then it’s trying to find real humans before throwing you back down to the bots.

I’d like to argue that any bot above Regular on COD is actually better at aiming than some of the teammates I get… somehow lol. I don’t play Warzone, I don’t think actual bots are in MP yet.

Didn’t Kirby destroy entire planets or something just because he got woken up from a nap?

Neondragon25,

To be fair, Kirby is a literal eldritch god. So only destroying a few planets is still probably on the good side for him.

He also does it for sport! To be fair it’s not complete destruction, but still

PrivateNoob, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 13th

I’m venturing into Transport Fever 2 as a total newbie and I definitely fucked up my first attempt make a profitable line on medium mode, by overspending with a train line in 1850 already. Imma try only some bus routes now as a start.

axib,

I’ve been interested in that! How do you like it compare to games like OpenTTD, Cities: Skylines, and Factorio (sort of)?

I love the trains in Factorio, and I enjoyed trying out OpenTTD for a bit, but I eventually got bored with it because airlines were easy money, and it was too easy to lose money when building a train network, and it took too long to expand. In Cities: Skylines I could never really figure out how to fix traffic, I felt like silly little things were causing it to back up. I don’t think I ever really got seriously into rail traffic in it, though.

PrivateNoob,

Ahh thanks for asking! I’ve just recently started playing the game starting in 1850 on the slowest date speed but it really does seem like a perfect game for autists (cause trains). My experience only goes to 1866, so do take that in fact.

My only reference point is Cities Skylines and obviously speaking the transportation aspect of the TPF2 is way more in-depth than C:S. Currently I’m easily managing the traffic issues, although truck stations can be sometimes a traffic bottleneck. Figuring out train routes, putting down signals, passing lines can be a good brain game for me which gives me a lot of satisfaction if I succeed at it. In terms of difficulty, I’m playing on medium without industry frequencies and the game just “snowballs” in difficulty. So if you prop down 1 or 2 profitable lines then your life already starts to get noticeably easier over time.

I actually played this long before I ever played actual Ninja Gaiden. At the time, I was just a wee laddie, and I remember enjoying it back then, but I’ve never had the courage to go back and replay it to see if it actually holds up.

Hey! Me and my friend played this recently and it took us a good while to clear. It’s fun, but incredibly difficult. We even turned it down to the lowest difficulty and still only one of us finished the climb.

Sea of Thieves really is something. It’s gorgeous, it’s fun, it has a relatively simple game loop that’s very satisfying to do but can get up there in complexity, and can be super chill with the fishing and cooking stuff.

Edit: when I played, I was a solo slooper, so I mainly stuck to the volcano area and just took on all the Captain’s Voyages I could get at a time. Those things just dump money on you.

MyNameIsAtticus,

I used to be a solo slooper, i always did Merchant’s alliance though. Didn’t pay well at all but i liked sailing around and trading the resources. It was a fun roleplay for me lol

So it’s been about two and a half years since I’ve played (before my daughter was born), so take this with a grain of salt. I think last big update I experienced was the addition of the Reapers’s equivalent of the Athena’s Fortune faction.

Unless they’ve changed how captained ships work, every time you log in your ship only has a basic set of resources (like 30 wood, 30 canonballs, 15 bananas, something like that). Stocking up from the outpost barrels was an every session start thing. The whole captained ship thing was originally just a way to save your ship cosmetics and adding a bunch of ship specific achievements. Also gave access to a convenient one stop sell location and some “captain” exclusive quests.

Regarding PVP, natural “emergent” PVP has really dried up since they added in the hourglass (dedicated PVP match queuing) and the ability to server hop (lose all your sellable loot and active quest progress, keep the barrelled resources on your ship). So people up for scrapping usually hop servers until they find a popular and lucrative server event happening where there are likely to be other players. There already was the Reaper’s flag and emmisary to imdicate you were up for/looking for PVP too (both make you visible on the map to the whole server). So a lot of players left running around aren’t as bloodthirsty.

Also, unless they changed server limits again, each server has an absolute max of six ships. It’s a big sea for so few ships. Especially when we stayed around The Roar (volcanoey area at the east side of the map) we could go entire sessions without running into other players.

Man, I really hope it’s still around when I have the time to come back to it. Awesome game.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Captained ships afaik are the same. I feel like it sometimes restocks by themselves for some reason but i can’t say for sure. Maybe there’s some niche conditions or something but i’ve feel like it’s been doing that. And i too hope it’s around for a long while to come. Congrats on the daughter btw!

If you like posting picture of fishes, did you try Subnautica ?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve thought about it. I’ve played a bit a few years ago but not much. Initially when i heard the sequel was going to have Co-op i was planning to wait for that since I’m not too big on Subnautica’s lore and really just like the concept, but after recent news i might just pick up the first one instead or something.

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds, do gaming w Just got my first truly modern PC case...

stupid question. but is there a wireless limit?

if it theoretically possible to have a computer where the only cable things need are just power, and the rest is wireless?

don’t care about the practicality, just about how’s much power/speed could it theoretically handle

cafuneandchill,

Yeah, it’s totally possible. It’s called a laptop

RightHandOfIkaros,

Wireless “storms” can happen causing unreliable wireless communication. Especially if the wireless signals are on the same or very similar frequency.

This review is poetry. I read it completely although I don’t care for the game. Thanks for that.

wise_pancake,

I find the sequence of “You Win”, “You Lose”, “You Tie” to be highly representative of live, and poetic in its presentation.

Hazmatastic,

It’s not even the track list for me, it’s the track lengths. Some of them are 3 seconds lmao

See they should have done a Charlie’s Angels type thing, have them standing kind of back to back like they’re on the same team. But I guess that won’t have been as controversial.

muusemuuse,
@muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think they were trying to lean too hard into the warring gamers battling it out, and the black woman represented the original PSP while the white woman represented the new white PSP, player 2.

But they put it on a fucking billboard where the only context we have to go by is beating the shit out of a black chick. What they fuck did they expect people to think?

@tatterdemalion@programming.dev avatar

OK this cements my belief that people who work in marketing are batshit insane.

Even after seeing backlash, they doubled down and kept running the ad.

dustyData,

It’s all the cocaine. When I watched madmen I thought it was an exaggeration. Then I dated a guy who worked in marketing and met his coworkers.

@muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works avatar

Like artistically I can see what they were aiming for with this but they not only failed to understand the medium and audience, but when the obvious interpretation came to their attention they did not fucking care.

Just incredible.
