I vote you play Control next! Challenge mode: Dyson Sphere Project

SippyCup,

I have multiple saves with Dyson Spheres around black holes.

They were played consecutively.

I watched, while playing that game, every single episode of classic Trek, and SNW. I believe a few movies are sprinkled in there too.I only stopped playing to play Clair Obscur.

What’s the original strip about? Upselling something?

EightLeggedFreak,

Jarhead just wants coffee. Old (for the internet) boomer humor comic.

JimVanDeventer,
Buddahriffic,

Those darn millenials and their forcing everyone to drink their fancy drinks and then Karen gets mad at me, the poor veteran just trying to give this business my dollar!

aGlassDarkly,

…yeah I’m trying to imagine a scenario when this would ever happen. I’ve never seen someone try to upsell someone else on coffee before.

Buddahriffic,

And even if they did upsell like that, it was probably because some boomer insisted (at least at the time of this comic). Out of all the things I associate with “millenials”, wanting to upsell shit to make their employer more money isn’t one of them.

Lifter,

I get uppselling a lot. “Extra shot?”, " Cookie?", “Membership App?”, etc.

Buddahriffic,

Yeah but how often do they persist after the first decline? I mean, it comes more down to the individual than there generation, but it’s more common to hear “sorry, I have to ask this, but upsell? No, ok cool, that’ll be total” than seeing someone try to argue after the first no thanks.

JimVanDeventer,

I’ve never seen someone try to upsell someone else on coffee before.

“Would you like whipped cream on that” gets me a lot.

Rusty,

I drink black coffee and that never happened to me. I think the baristas would prefer to make a simpler drink.

JimVanDeventer,

I often enjoy a simple black coffee, myself, and have never had anyone try to convince me otherwise as if they are dying to do more work. It’s just an ‘other people having choices feels like a threat to my tradition’ kind of comic, I guess. The lady yelling at him is kind of funny, though; I have seen worse boomer humour.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

It’s only $3 on play store and iPhone store. The phone version has the advantage that you only have to cast/input each spell once, and then you have a button to press.

Godamn, how’d you have time?

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

an hour everyday and 3 hours during a weekend is usually enough provided that you dont play multiplayer games at all. Even 30 mins a day is usually enough to finish a lot of games but im not that consistent these days. You can notice the gap between skyrim and red dead (ignore minecraft and fo76)

njm1314,

Oh I didn’t see the dates. Now I really don’t believe you. There’s no fucking way you finish Spider-Man that fast. I played that game. 2 days? Even if it was a weekend you didn’t finish that thing in 6 hours. A lot of these games are very long games.

@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

Spiderman 1 took me 2-ish weeks to platinum. Miles Morales platinum took just 3 days. That was during a vacation and I clocked in 6-8 hours of gaming in a day for miles morales. Main game is like 6 hours + a few hours for the extras and NG+ makes the game a lot easier + I played on friendly neighbourhood. It’s pretty doable.

If the shown dates are the dates of completion, the span would not be May 12th to May 14th but May 3th to May 12th.

inFAMOUS: First Light has 4 hours for the main story. Which fits this idea. But I don’t use the website.

What is an alis?

DuskAlis,

This is a project in active development: a survival game with deep simulation.

The game recreates real locations (satellite data + 3D geodesign), simulates real resources (water, food with calories, sleep, injuries), teaches useful skills, and creates connections between players.

spaciouscoder78, do games w Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

Honestly I was saving up money to get a PS5 and ditch PC gaming. But then I saw valve’s announcement about steam machine and decided to get a steam deck when I have enough.

It’s literally a no brainer because I can play my current library at no extra cost whereas with ps5 I gotta pay for online as well as the games.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Before you go in on a Steam Deck I want to give a head’s up:

While I like my Steam Deck, it does have limits. If you primarily want to play 2D indie games, it’s absolutely perfect. You get great framerate, and the battery lasts 3-4 hours or sometimes even more.

But if you want to play 3D games from the last 10-15 years, you’re going to need to compromise. Much of the time you won’t be able to get 60fps, and the battery life drops off quick. And if you want to dock it and run it on your TV you’re still going to have some performance tradeoffs due to the Steam Deck being built for 800p gaming

If you still have a powerful tower PC but want to play newer 3D games from your living room on a TV, you could run an application called Sunshine on it, allowing you to stream to a Steam Deck via Moonlight at high bitrate (4k 60fps with relatively low latency) and the Steam Deck is good for that because it has more power to encode/decode the stream than most alternatives.

Or you could wait for the Steam Machine to release. It won’t be as powerful as a PS5, but I’m expecting it to be a good value compared to most PC’s

spaciouscoder78,
@spaciouscoder78@lemmy.ml avatar

Tbh I’m going for the steam deck due to its portability and ability to play my existing library. I’ve made some life decisions that will make me travel a lot around countries or states so steam deck is the perfect pick for me. I don’t really play more than 1-3 games that I play everyday and all of them run perfectly on the deck.

Earlier I thought of going for a PS5/6 but it wasn’t really economical plus given my frequent rate of travel, its not feasible.

Right now, I play my games on a Thinkpad that struggles to do a lot of multi tasking stuff. Its only 2 years old but took a bad beating in terms of performance. I’m gonna get the last juice out of this laptop and continue my gaming on the deck

mnemonicmonkeys,

It sounds like a Steam Deck is a perfect fit for you then. May your frames be high and your lag minimal

I don’t like 1:1 ports for a simple reason. The janky af controls and cameras. Sure 1:1 is fine for some older games. But some games could use a coat of paint before a port. I don’t want that nostalgic feeling of playing an old game for the sake of playing an old game. I want that nostalgic feeling of “holy shit this is crazy” from advancements in technology.
