Love the game, but playing a few times a week isn’t enough investment for me to build up the necessary skill to complete it. Got to a point now where I literally spend the entire gaming session refreshing my fingers from last week, and decided to take a break until I can commit enough time to it. Maybe if I lose my kids or legs or go to prison or something.
Silksong was great, but it really has an issue with approachability.
Most of the quality of life upgrades come after challenges that prove you don’t need them. I didn’t really feel at home with what the game was asking of me until I fought the cogwork dancers. I totally understand why people bounce off the game when they encounter Last Judge.
Bannerlord! Top down strategy when roaming around and managing your troops and or kingdom, real time first person action during battles and sieges with different troop positioning commands.
Have you played Grandia II? IIRC you could score bigger hits from behind enemies, cancel enemies attacks etc. depending on the position and timing of your attacks.
Dead Space 1 remaster. I categorically refuse to give any money to EA (even before the Saudi buyout), and that’s their only game I’m even remotely interested in that isn’t available through alternative channels.
As someone who has been on the Internet for a long time, I have never once thought adding someone on a game platform/social as something risky. If they turn out to be bad, you just block them, no? I don’t understand why something like this needs to blow up in your face. I should say that I am someone who randomly sends invites to players I have played with online, who are strangers, but whom I enjoyed playing with for XYZ reason. I never thought I was committing some kind of crime by doing that but maybe that’s just me. I don’t mind getting random friends requests from people I’ve played yes and yes I have no friends. Go figure.
I am a bit of a worrier I guess, & overthink things too much. It’s definitely not a crime to send requests to people just after playing online together, actually I think I should probably do it more.
I also like to get friend requests from randos, it helps you get more involved in the game, especially co-op games like DRG. Plus it’s not like there’s a limit to how many friends you can add.
Before writing this post, I realised I’d given away my DOB - first by saying my age, and then when they correctly guessed my star-sign (!), I told them the day & month. That made me worry that maybe I need to be more careful and so posted this here.
how do you lemmings deal with these random friend invites?
Dude, just talk to the person. You already seem to know every possible red flag there is. If they do something shady, you’ll know, but there’s also the possibility they’re just looking for friends.
I’ve made friendships online that are going for more than a decade at this point. I’m not saying you should trust everyone, but maybe just be less suspicious and let time show you what kind of person you’re taking to, it will reveal if the person is friendly or not.
Yeah I am talking with them, they do seem legit so hopefully I’m just being paranoid/overly cautious.
The reason I thought I’d post here is to make sure I’ve not missed something obvious and to understand what the risks are. I guess “something shady” would be asking me to do something weird like install unknown software, or asking lots of personal questions out of the blue.
Almost everyone uses discord for voip now. You can even use it in a browser.
I’ve got friends I still talk to on a regular from over 20 years ago from an MMO I played. Hell one of them, is a friend myself and another friend who I know offline still game with to this day, we’ve known them for almost 20 years now.
Get a better mic, download or browse to discord and act like a human.
I do already have a discord account & if that’s all they want to use, it wouldn’t be an issue at all. Only if it’s something weird they want me to install, like Team Viewer or some shit 😅
At the risk of sending you down a rabbit hole, there are some people who use Reshade on non-online games to do “game photography”. You could go as light as overlaying a grid, or more complicated stuff like simulating lens focal length, removing fog, adjusting colors, adding bloom, bokeh, etc.
It’s meant for overlaying complex graphical effects while you play, but there’s a small dedicated community of people using it to set up the perfect still shots. It’s definitely a deep rabbit hole.
I tried getting into it for a little bit, especially when playing Arkham Asylum with some of the more advanced tools like freecam. Reshade i’ve had a few brushups with though, and even used it to simulate a CRT effect on Halo CE/2. The only downside is i have to remember to manually turn Anticheat off, which thankfully isn’t too hard, just i forget too and then get confused why it won’t run. I might try experimenting with it though for some more artsy screenshots. I’d love to start going in that direction with screenshots, or at least some of them
Yeah, it’s no longer for sale. If you bought it before it was delisted, you can still download/play it through steam. What is fucking atrocious is that I had to go and make an account with epic to play. Well, they can spam and sell my ‘nannerbanner’sfakeemailforepiccunts@proton.me’ all they want. Fucking cunts. .
Yeah, I bought my own domain specifically so I could set up a catch-all email service. Everything sent to my domain hits the same inbox, but I can easily see who has sold my info. If I start getting spam addressed to “walmart@example.com” then I know Walmart sold my info. And I can easily set a rule to automatically mark anything addressed to that burned account as spam.
Lots of websites quickly caught onto the “just add a + after your regular email” trick, and set up an internal rule to remove any of the + tags. So that old trick is largely useless.
I have a beefy gaming PC and spend way more time on retro handhelds. Nintendo 3ds, DS, GBA. Gives me a nerd hobby to collect games, and you can enjoy keeping them nice, picking them up when you want and putting them down when you’re done. Soooo many good titles too.
I’m addicted to DOTA 2, but I sometimes will play other single player games. I bought and downloaded Witcher 3, Cyberpunk and RDR2, but I can’t get into them. If I’m not playing with other people, it just seems kinda… lonely? I like games where I can log on and chat/communicate with other players. I’m alone enough in my real life, so anytime I can spend with even just virtual friends is something I value.
I dunno, I started the cyberpunk game, was going the street kid route, and the guy it puts you with… The guy put a gun to you, and all of a sudden we’re friends? No. I’m from a shitty family and that shit gave me mad anxiety. I got into the tutorial level, stopped to do something else, came back, and every time i try to load the game back up to play, it crashes.
