so optimization is shit, denuvo is shit and the mtx are at least questionable but still the discussion is just “overblown” ? LoL…gamers these days.

Zahille7, do games w Dragon's Dogma 2: Review Thread

I’d just like to use this opportunity to let people know that the first Dragon’s Dogma is currently on sale on steam for $5.

Krudler,

It’s also a half finished, borderline empty, mechanically broken, quest broken, AI broken game.

I know people love the combat, and that won me over as well - it’s about as good as you can get. The rest is basically dog shit in my opinion.

simple, do games w Rise of the Ronin | Review Thread

Surprisingly bad/mediocre reviews. Not sure why team ninja went for open world this time.

caut_R,

I wanna say they‘re not chasing whatever FROM‘s been successful doing recently, but… yeah

I absolutely love Nioh and Nioh 2, avoided their parry game because of mediocre to bad reviews like these, and this now is a PS exclusive so I guess I don‘t even have to make up my mind…

echo64,

Fwiw, their “parry game” is quite fun. Coming from someone who loves nioh. “Bad reviews” are generally just “this isn’t going to change your life” but we can’t describe things in ways other than absolutely good or absolutely bad now.

Pooptimist,

What is that parry game?

To address this differently, you’re making a rod for your own back by not putting the baby down once she’s asleep.

When my son was a baby I used to get home from work feed him and do the same as you but then it was a nightmare when I wanted to put him to bed, starfish arms and legs and hours of crying!

We did things differently with my daughter and never had this problem.

Good luck!

That’s so cool! The original Super Mario Maker is what made me get a Wii U, and I obsessed over that game for a couple years. I made a few levels that were fairly well regarded, too! Funnily enough, I’ve barely touched the second one.

chloyster,

That’s awesome! I unfortunately never got to play the original (unless you count the watered down 3ds version haha) but was super into the sequel for a good while. I love Mario maker a lot but more than anything it got me into smw rom hacks! Still trying to put together one of my own

Okami_No_Rei, do games w What are y'all buying on the steam sale?
@Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world avatar

So far I’ve picked up:

  • Dead Cells
  • Signalis
  • Owlboy
  • Starship Titanic
  • Balatro
  • BORE BLASTERS
  • Melvor Idle
  • Night in the Woods
  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition
  • Dome Keeper
  • Pentiment
  • Blackshift
  • Ouroboros

Having a blast with Balatro to the exclusion of all else.

Gabu,

It’s unfair how fun Balatro is. You’d think someone would’ve thought of the concept years ago.

Furbag,

Night in the Woods is an okay story/adventure game, but man the soundtrack for that game is a real earworm. Years later now and some of the town jingles still pop into my head randomly. RIP to the composer who passed away way too young.

Krudler,

I’m not going to elbow drop Owlboy, but I think you should try it within the refund window because in my opinion it’s way overhyped, and does not deliver much mechanically.

ive had success playing RTS games using an xbox controller mapped with joy2key (or steam input). you can also use a ps5 controller as a touchpad (ds4windows for mapping)

Non traditional input devices are fascinating, so thanks for posting your research. In your precise situation though, my advice would be to put down the baby.

variants,

haha yeah that probably is the best advice but shes so comfy just sleeping there

Rentlar, do trains w How much does it cost to build a shortline railroad?

You know, if I had millions lying around I’d want to build or buy a small <10km line in rural buttfuck Saskatchewan and ride train cars around, just for myself and letting people that made it here use it for fun. I haven’t tried estimating how much that would cost.

Have a look at the West Coast Express, opened in 1995 from Vancouver BC to 43 miles out at an estimated cost of 40 to 80 million Canadian dollars, equivalent to 53.4 to 106.8 million of today’s USD. There were musings of it as far back as 1971, but it sounds like design started sometime after 1981 and construction started in 1994, finishing late 1995.

The price tag would include 5 engines and 5 sets of bilevel railcars, leasing tracks for CP and BNSF, building a handful of turnouts and sidings to hold the trains when out of service, build or contracting wash and maintenance facilities, maybe some small track and signalling upgrades along the route, and station facilities in 7 places.

Another example is the Rail Runner Express in New Mexico that runs 96.5 miles from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. The NM Governor Richardson announced it in August 2003. Construction began in October 2005. The first portion of service began in July 2006 and the full line went into service by December 2008. The cost to build the line was about 285 million USD total equivalent to about 438 million USD today. A operational deficit of 10 to 20 million USD annually was reported and criticized, but roads and bridges of that length cost as much to maintain anyway.

Very neat, 20-40mil is what I expected, makes sense. Thanks for the detailed reply! When I win the lottery maybe I try it…

Ahhh, that’s why you don’t see the USB drive.

ursakhiin, do gaming w Super Mario Maker 1 is now beaten!

I’m happy that the community feels satisfied with this ending. I’m not sure I buy it, though.

I’ve seen every move in this level be completed. I think it’s incredibly difficult but still possible. Based on everything I’ve seen from the creator recently this seems more like an attempt to get people to shut up about it to me.

chloyster,

I understand how you feel. But you have to keep in mind:

Mario Maker 1 requires a creator to beat their level in order to upload it to the servers. The creator did not beat the level, so it’s an “illegitimate upload” (as team 0% is putting it).

It definitely seems possible to beat, but for team 0% goals, I understand the decision

ursakhiin,

The creator says they didn’t beat it. I’m saying that based on their history, I actually think they are lying right now to get people to stop bothering them

They reportedly were highly addicted to SMM around the time they uploaded this level, having messed up aspects of their lives. They wanted to be left alone about this whole situation but the Internet doesn’t let things like that happen.

Saying it was a TAS is the easiest way to get everybody to stop playing the level and hopefully stop the discussion 2 weeks sooner.

I’m happy Team 0% is satisfied with the conclusion. I’m just skeptical, especially considering nobody knew about TAS’s existing for the game near that window.

chloyster,

Well you’re certainly allowed to believe that. The mods say they have been shown the proof that he is telling the truth so I suppose you have to take their word for it. According to ThaBeast721 in the discord:

Ahoyo showed it to a small group of us and a much more detailed story. I hope he has a way to show someone else how to implement it the tas. I’d like that

safesyrup, do trains w How much does it cost to build a shortline railroad?

This hugely depends on many factors. What quality should the rail be? Do you transport freight at 30km/h or pasenger rail at 200 km/h? Is there electification involved? How is the soil along the tracks? How many trains of what type do you need? Do you want electric train protection and signaling? How nice do you want the train stops to be? Does it cross property of private individuals that you need to aquire?

I just want to say that this is not really a question that has an answer since it depends on so many factors. You also have to think about regulations for rail traffic. Building a rail line in your backyard isn‘t neary as expensive as one you use commercially because of safety standards you have to comply with, which is a good thing.

Oh and even if you could specify a project, i still would have no clue since i‘m not a project manager nor civil engineer, just interested in rail and trains :D

Penta, do games w Picked up SANABI in the recent sales and it's good

Playing it right now, am like 7 hours in. Good game 👍

Immersive_Matthew, do trains w How much does it cost to build a shortline railroad?

Is there transit on both ends as one of the challenges with rail in NA is once you arrive at your destination, it can be hard to make that last mile or so transit. It also has to be as fast or faster overall than driving and it has to be cheaper as people will just default to cars again. That has been my experience living in cities around the world.
