ConstableJelly, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 7th

Slowly coming to the end of Pacific Drive, which has been mostly great. I think I’ll wrap it up at the perfect time, because I’m not quite tired of it but can feel my interest beginning to wane.

I have also been playing Sea of Stars. I had one foot fully over the edge to give it up during its painfully slow opening, but I just barely made it long enough to get through the first dungeon and found myself beginning to admit that it was becoming fun. I can’t remember the last time my feelings for a game pivoted so hard, because once it opens up it is a ton of fun. I’m glad I was able to stick with it.

I watched a friend play Sea of Stars and really enjoyed it! I hope it’s a good adventure for you the rest of the way.

Something to note if you’re in it for combat, the difficulty plateaus a bit towards the middle/end. And if you like this one, their other game, The Messenger, is tied to it lore wise, although it’s a different genre.

Also the music slaps.

The Messenger was wonderful. Looking forward to whatever they release in the future .

What is this info graphic even saying, I don’t understand

hemko,

Those “medals” are how well the game works on proton. Platinum is comparable to Windows or better, gold is still pretty damn good, and so on.

DarkThoughts,

Even Gold can be comparable to Windows. Even silver, since a lot of games don't actually work well or at all on Windows anymore. At the same time, Platinum can still mean issues. It's not that black & white comparable when there's so many factors going into it (regardless of the OS).

hemko,

Yeah of course it’s more nuanced than that, but enough of an explanation for someone who doesn’t know what there’s actually displayed

Ah, the hallmark of mainstream usability: a four bar chart with multi-segmented portions based on different independent ratings of compatibility that don't agree with each other.

Slay the Spire, with mods

kaffiene,

Any mods you’d recommend?

axzxc1236,

Downfall is the best.

Are you maybe a privateer?

Privateers tended to obey a sovereign government and do all the pirate things, but directed it against the enemies of the country they were under the flag of rather than just at whoever. Privateers would sometimes become pirates, though. Basically, they’d just keep doing the same job, but for themselves.

The distinction is largely one of who gets to make the rules and do the finger pointing.

deaf_fish,

I don’t think so, seems like I am a part of a rag-tag group of people who are doing “jobs” to get rich. I don’t think we have any formal government or organization backing.

I guess I don’t know the full story of everyone I am working with yet. So there could be a twist I am unaware of.

millie,

It could also just be propaganda. They’re pirates, not us!

Obligatory Rimworld shout out.

I’ve dumped more hours into this game than the rest of my game library combined.

Edit: typo

Godric,

Rimworld is a great answer. Every game us different, and you can take it different places with mods as well.

maliciousonion,

A significant number of comments have mentioned Rimworld, guess I’ll install it. Thanks for your recommendations!

MarauderIIC,

Dwarf Fortress, if you like rimworld but prefer gigantic learning curves

Sounds like the kind of thing they’d put in games as an anti-piracy measure to get people to tell on themselves

FarraigePlaisteach,

I bought this copy :) But I do remember listening to a live podcast segment about gaming where an audience member had their hand up in response to some question. When the microphone got to them, they said that one thing they didn’t like about old games was trying to figure out the controls. The presenter pointed out that for people who paid for their games, the instructions were included. I was embarrassed just listening.

Pitching in for Interesting NPCs. Adds a ton of characters/followers and several quests. If I picked no other mod (outside of unofficial patch) it’d be this one.

My son and I had a blast with this one. We took turns doing runs through all biomes and found tons of blueprints and secrets. So fun!

Sidyctism2,

Dead cells studio is a co-op? Wasnt aware, thats cool

The tech-demo phase of Ariane 6 is still in progress but has shown an unexpected result which will only affect the end of the mission.

On the webcast, they stated that the Auxiliary Propulsion Unit (APU) switched off shortly after it it powered up after SECO-2. Without the APU, they have no way to settle the propellants in the tanks, and thus can’t reignite the upper stage for the final burn.

From the live camera feed, it looks as though the upper stage was spinning, so there may have been some loss of control as well.

  • Recently finished Cyberpunk 2077. For all its hype, I found it a mediocre/ generic game.
  • I’m trying to get into Baldur’s Gate 3 but it seems, it just is not my type of game (first D&D). Might also have to do with the fact, I tried to replace LeagueOfLegends with Baldur’s Gate.
  • (re)playing Last of Us 1 (remake version on PC). Stays a great game.
  • Debating whether to quit Returnal and play another game such as Alan Wake 2 or Hellblade 2.

I’m also trying to find a isometric/ top-down game to replace LeagueOfLegends with. But no luck.

Vodulas,

BG3 is definitely not a LoL replacement. There is a tactical aspect to it, but it is much slower paced being turn based. For sure an RPG to it’s core.

BarHocker,

If you find a good League of Legends replacement, let me know please. I tired dota, but the animations and controls feel very clunky.

ModernRisk,
@ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The only thing that could get me a little bit of LeagueOfLegends feeling is Hades 2. Though not even that can give me similar dopamine as LeagueOfLegends does.

I honestly think there’s no replacement for it unfortunately. So I suppose, got to just detox and get used to the lower dopamine from games (speaking about myself).

Edit: SES-2 confirmed!

Edit2: SECO-2. Nominal orbit confirmed. First payload deployments scheduled for T+1:05.
