VerseAndVermin, do games w Hytale is sending out emails which allow people to register and reserve usernames

I used to use a username, for like 10+ years, but had a “personality” use the same name and become popular. That was before Twitch blew up, so I can’t imagine it is any less common now. I saw in the Hytale FAQ that they will claw back names that popular users use. I get it, but also it is strange. I guess that is the world today, everyone wants to be a brand.

SnotFlickerman,

I feel like famous people should have to just use their real names instead of having control over specific usernames.

Caesium,

yeah I’ve had my nickname that I turned into a username used by a vtuber so people kept thinking I was referencing her instead :/ no I’ve just grown up with the name, but now I can’t even use it

How was the banana?

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Potassium + PerfectDark = doom and destruction. Banana for illustrative and measuring purposes only.

It did look good though?

kelpie_returns,

I don’t understand, but I trust that you do.

And yes. It did indeed look good. Would eat/10

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I get asked this question a fair bit! Each time ive shared a review recently I added a banana pic. I tend to get asked what my review of said banana is.

But I have an autoimmune disease where potassium is terrible for me! So…I never know how good these bananas are :(

kelpie_returns,

Ahh. Bananas are nice, but you’re not missing out on all that much tbh. Just kind of sweet mush, really. There are nicer fruits out there lol

And my b for being one of many goofs making the same old joke in your direction :P

I got "Nightingale" for free a while ago on EGS but I couldn't play it on my old PC. I just got a new so I can finally try it out. It's okay. Not great. It looks great though. It's just that the gameplay is a bit bland. I believe it's still in early access though, so things may change!

Vodulas,

I enjoy Nightingale. The crafting system is pretty deep, but the combat is pretty meh.

I have been playing a load of Abiotic Factor, It sits on the sweet spot between story and fun for me, Constant new mechanics, always the feeling that I am sneaking in a better way to do the thing. Game kinda Feels like Valheim got cuddley with HalfLife.

Rinn,

I’ve played that before, but have they removed/made players able to reduce frequency of appearance or outright stop the annoying moaning monster from the lab zone yet? I’m a solo player and it was a creepy encounter the first 5 times and then just an annoying interruption, and it was so constant and inescapable that it made me stop playing.

Quetzalcutlass,

You unlock a way to recontain it not long after it’s introduced. You may need to build the x-ray lamp to get it to show up in your recipes.

Fair warning though, there’s a very similar monster in the late game that’s infinitely more annoying, though at least it only appears in cold areas.

Wife and I are playing Borderlands 4. It’s a fun romp of a game!

Installed Decky LSFG-VK on the steamdeck recently, so I’ve been going around my library testing different games.

Played about 20 hours of starfield till i got to neon, varying between 80-100+ fps outside of a few areas like new atlantis that would choke my NV3080 as well. Went into a club and was reminded why I abandoned the game in the first place. It wasn’t the poor optimization or the recycled gameplay. It was the fact that the game felt like there were no consequences, generic and hollow with absolutely no meaningful innovation. I really wanted to like it.

Moved on to Shadow of Mordor. Been having a blast.

nithou,

Oh my I finally gave it a try inspired by your comment, and perfect 90 FPS in Diablo IV, I’m astonished

Maiq,

I’ve found that Power Tools and LSFG-VK go really well together.

I assure you fellow survival fan, you not being able to carry materials through portals will absolutely improve the game and not just pad it out significantly!

(Valheim, in case you were wondering)

justdaveisfine,

And on top of that, not make sailing a skill, the map reveal range hilariously short even in wide open oceans, not having much to do other than sometimes stopping to fish or collect chitin, and really only one threat in the ocean for 95% of the game who stops being a real threat once you’re beyond wood/flint arrows (the actual threat being your fellow players shooting the boat’s wonky collision)

I fully expect them to go back and rework sailing but right now its not a great time.

Wrufieotnak,

I agree, but I’m also torn there. The first boat trip back with a full cargo of previous new resources definitely felt more awesome than just stepping through a portal. By the fifth time the novelty has worn off though and I would like to teleport it please. Maybe something like the first 50 ingots need to be produced at the home base for your character to get “magically attuned” to the metal ?

FishFace,

You just need to have something gated behind either a boss or significant investment of metal that you can upgrade your portals with.

justdaveisfine, (edited )

They introduce a tier 2 portal in the Ashlands that let’s you teleport metal.

IMO, a little too late (in terms of the game’s biome progression), but still useful because sailing to and from the Ashlands in a bloated barge is a real bad time.

Edit: added a parenthesis for clarity

SkyezOpen,

You’ve been able to change portal behavior in the world settings since 2 years ago.

justdaveisfine,

I worded that poorly, I meant too late in progression of the game’s biomes*.

By the time you’re in the Ashlands, you’ve likely moved hundreds or thousands of tin/copper/iron/silver/black metal. It feels like tier 2 portals should have been unlocked around the time you get an artisan table since the game makes you double back for more iron to make the padded set and then once again for mistland weapons - Which just feels tedious since roaming the swamps with plains tier gear makes the enemies laughable.

(I know you can mine the ancient giants armor for scrap iron too but I seem to get like 95% copper 5% iron scrap.)

SkyezOpen,

Ah that makes sense.

The trick for iron in mistlands is to bring a bench and stonecutter and dismantle the bridges you find over water. They have iron rebar inside them.

popcar2,

Oh, that’s great. I haven’t played Valheim in a while so I wasn’t aware of this change.

There are a few different mods that allow you to gate material teleporting in various ways. Closest to what you’re suggesting would probably be AdvancedPortals which adds tiered portals created with higher-tier materials. I just use TeleportEverything because I don’t think the restriction is fun or presents an interesting challenge.

SkyezOpen,

You can change portal behavior in the game settings. You can turn off all restrictions.

runner_g,

luckily there were mods in the early days and then an official toggle for that feature.

I understand the design philosophy (we want people to sail around and experience the world) but after 100 hours the diversity just ain’t there.

Zahille7,

Still love it though

I’ve been trying to thrive in Vintage Story, so far it’s been kicking my ass the entire time (late bronze age) - I’ve got a friend hyped for Hytale, I’m hoping I can convince him to give VS a try too/instead…

I’ve been enjoying BeamNG again. There’s been a couple uodates since i played last, with Automation, too, and so there’s new stuff to do and new toys to play with.

I’m finishing up some bits and bobs in Metroid Prime 4 before committing to the point of no return.

You have to shield yourself from those red shells. When youre in a good position, you get the banana peels more often, if you press and hold the button that throws the item, you keep the peel behind you and can use it as a shield against shells.

Finished Pokémon Z-A and loved it, now giving a try to the remake of Raidou: The Mystery of the Soulless Army! Curious about it as it seems to be in the same universe as Persona and the likes
