GammaGames, do gaming w I am just wondering if my latest 2 games are fun and wondering if I should allow donations on my site

How do you play them? I don’t see any builds or even screenshots to see what they look like

danielhanrahantng,

The first game has a linux x86 executable in its folder in the repository and the second game has a linux x86 executable in this directory in the link target/release.

danielhanrahantng,

Both games are text based

Awesome!

Welcome! I never know which community will end up being my main gaming one on the Fediverse, but I'll probably spend more time around here.

I picked up House of Legacy on sale and have been having a good time with it. It’s still noticeably unfinished after three years of early access though.

Your posts made Nintendo release Galaxy (and Galaxy 2) on Switch! They didn’t want this free publicity to go away 😀

I was legit thinking the same thing when i heard the news. Between that and them bringing the Virtual Boy back it was a surprising event

Yeah, I liked it. Lots of stuff I am interested in.

Picked up the Indiana Jones game which is actually pretty fun. Also been trying to get into playing Total War: Warhammer 2 but a lot of it feels like an exercise in frustration (I might just not be very good at it).

About to finish Jet Set Radio. Then I’m gonna start Hitman Codename 47

For me it is RUNESCAPE 😅 (The newer one, not the OSRS) We started with friends a couple of weeks ago and been kinda addicted ever since 🙈 But it’s great fun, the quests are nice and it feels like the core mechanics of the game are really polished.

Vodulas,

The new survival crafting one (Dragonwilds I think) or the MMO?

nev,

The MMO, RS3 :3

Did you play it on the Wii or the port on the Switch?

I was naive and bought the 3D All Stars Version when it launched. I don’t think i’ll be buying Galaxy 2 though with that price tag

NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w RomM (self-hosting emulation) releasing a significant update - 4.2

Heh, heard about this yesterday on a different board and gave it a go.

It is definitely jank. Super easy to set up and get running (one of the best docker compose files I ever used) but the hodge podge of grabbing your own API keys for the metadata services is a mess. Would have preferred it if their folder structure were the same as the “industry standard” retroarch (ugh. transphobic shits) layout but whatever. Same with support for distinguishing that a .cue file means the associated bin/iso/chd files probably shouldn’t be scanned to.

My only real complaint is that it doesn’t have a clean way to remove missing files (for example, if you moved said isos into a subfolder rather than using the .cue file that was always a mess) or providing in-UI excluding of matches (e.g. shader caches for modern emulators or a memory cards folder of older emulators).

Still, I like it a lot. Not likely to play anything in my browser but really nice for browsing what is actually on my NAS when the mood strikes. And gonna take a look at the romm APIs in the not too distant future to see if I can leverage that to finally set up my sync utility (which will probably involve research/getting involved to figure out how save states and memory cards are handled… or set up a way for them to be handled).

Do you have a link that explains how RetroArch is transphobic? I’m OotL.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

resetera.com/…/duckstation-now-on-indefinite-hiat… is a good thread on the subject of the RA/LR crew turning to harassment the moment someone won’t specifically package their emulators for LR and www.resetera.com/threads/…/page-7 for transphobia specifically.

I’ve seen increasing statements that the harassment campaign that murdered Near was driven by RA/LR folk but haven’t managed to find any direct evidence and there is zero chance I am wading through kiwi farms for it. But I definitely recall a few clashes with RA/LR as that was coming up and its priorities (and market share) were shifting. But, to be fair, there is not a single emulator dev from that era who didn’t have a clash with RA/LR as they were pressured more and more into specifically developing “cores”.

But it is generally one of those things Games Media doesn’t cover since protecting trans folk is a good way to get boycotted and EVERYONE loves retroarch for their emulation needs. And the outlets who DO tend to cover this kind of stuff are under near constant attacks from kiwi farms et al to begin with so…

Thanks for the links, took me a while to get to it. It’s really missing some actual investigative journalism into this because it’s a confusing mess.

I did not realize there were so many toxic people around emulators, of all things…

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Its one of those things you can only really “know” by actually keeping an ear open. I mean, look around. Lemmy generally seems to skew left (how much of that is the tankies on dot ml is a different discussion). But there are basically two or three of us who point out that BDS is specifically calling for a boycott of Microsoft every time a gamepass or Gears of War thread comes up because fuck that shit, No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism™ means Fuck Off Palestine New Forza Dropped.

But if you listen and ask questions when people reference Internet Lore, you too get the brainworm and can make informed decisions going forth.

Which, truth be told, is not that different than anything else. If you only watch the news when something interesting happens, you might think a nazi is a good man and father. Whereas, if you have suffered even a bit of continual psychic damage over the years, you KNOW that is bullshit and can start thinking about why CNN is glazing him and so forth.

The Internet is a spectacular pleasure box and a great way to find out information on demand. But relying solely on The Algorithm and Others to inform you is how you get… 2025.

I’m playing CoD Ghosts - multiplayer with bots. Not getting the time to game at the moment and 10-minute bursts of entertainment have their place.

Been playing Hollow Knight: Silksong. I’ve seen credits twice, and am now in Act 3. Currently going through the world again, looking for stuff I missed.

While I do have a good time with the game, I can’t say I love it, because it has a few too many frustrating sections and maybe a few parts that were a bit too difficult for me to really enjoy.

AceFuzzLord, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August September 14th

Some day in the future, I absolutely need to pick up a copy of Maze Mice since I recently played the demo to death after finding it on itch(dot)io. Think an endless game of Superhot meets something like Vampire Survivors. I didn’t realize it, but it’s from the Luck Be A Landlord dev.

Other than that, I have not been playing much, but I have checked out the latest beta ( testing? ) update for Dungeon Clawler and I like the Starlet character better than the other one because I did a whole run where I didn’t take any hits from any enemies, until final boss ruined that.

Not many other games played besides having to start over in Slay The Spire because I couldn’t find my old save from before I picked it up on Steam. I forget just how hard the game can be, regardless of skill ( or lack thereof ).

Donkey Kong came out in 1981. Mario is 44.

TachyonTele, do games w Happy Birthday!

I still have the Mario35 game. Though it's not playable. But i do have the 3D All-stars game, and it works great. So stupid of them to sell that as fomo. They could've been taking in money for years on that.

Tuxman,

You want a ripoff?! The 25th Wii game! It was straight up a SNES rom of All-Stars (and not even the revision that included Mario World) 😅

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/4801a9e8-12d3-42b0-8775-aad15ded043a.jpeg

TachyonTele,

I bought that at a pawn shop for $20 back then.

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I’m a sucker for a slip-case, though. And this one looks really nice!

Psythik,

Low key kinda glad they made it a FOMO game cause the game fucking sucks, so when I sell it for hundreds of dollars in a couple of years I won’t feel bad about it at all.

TachyonTele,

How did it suck? It's three critically acclaimed games for the price of one.

Psythik,

That’s just how bad Nintendo is at porting their own games! There’s constant FPS dips, and the input lag is so bad that you can literally see the delay without needing any equipment to measure it. It’s so bad in Mario 64 that it renders the game unplayable, leaving you with two games can actually be played (but just barely so. They still have input lag, and it’s much more difficult to control the water gun in Sunshine since the Switch doesn’t have analog triggers).

I much rather play these games in an emulator. At least they’ll run properly.

youtu.be/0q5qOYp9ihY

TachyonTele,

Interesting. I didn't have any delay with my 8bitdo. Thanks for the info.

I know the Zelda emulation they used was horrible.

prole,

The collection was fine. There are speed runners who weren’t happy about the version of Mario 64 that they chose to use because you can’t do backwards long jump.

I think most of the hate is due to that. Also the lack of Galaxy 2 was questionable.

prole,

Even worse is that they just announced that they’re releasing a Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 collection (and it’s $70 on the eShop).

So if you got 3D All Stars, you only got Galaxy 1, and if you want to play 2 on a modern system (without emulation), then you need to buy 1 again.
