World and is not close

Zomg, do games w active matter

Played the game...

  1. Movement seems stiff compared to other games I play
  2. Ai is too abundant, over tuned
reksas,

yeah, the ai enemies are crazy, though having pve threat more dangerous than players is good thing imo, it limits the pvp a bit since people have to be wary. But if its unfairly dangerous then its just annoying since you cant survive at all.

I liked the movement, though it could be better too.

Zomg,

The flowermen are strangely difficult to kill compared to others, and there's always a swarm of the most of the time.

SMB3 easy choice for me. I like the NES soundchip over muddy SNES just in general and the physics in SMB3.

Apples and oranges they’re both the best game ever.

I somehow skipped Hollow Knight since it came out, and got it during a sale last week after all the Silksong hype. Got 26 hours in it now.

hey here’s a post about the 11/11 sale, several controllers are listed. Gamesir nova lite for $13 looks like a good deal to me.

8bitdo USB controller was plug and play for me

sonofearth,

Yeah I was looking at that as a lot of folks mentioned the brand. The wireless is super expensive, even more than the original xbox controller. But the wired one is literally half the price.

Its wireless is much more compatible, supporting several different connection methods for use with different proprietary systems, and is just generally a better and more capable device. They’re worth every penny, IMHO. 8bitdo’s quality changed my opinion on gaming controllers that had developed after years of being frustrated by cheap, wonky, second-rate, third-party garbage controllers like MadCatz and Logitech that used “features” to cover for the fact that they were cheaply made, overpriced, and deeply inferior. 8bitdo controllers are the only ones I trust anymore. Even Nintendo apparently can’t be trusted to make quality controllers for their own systems anymore. But 8bitdo can.

Minnels,

This. It costs more but you will have a controller that will last years. Have used 8bitdo pro2 for a couple of years after rage quitting the Nintendo pro whatever it is named to switch for its worthless d-pad. Recently picked up a 8bitdo pro3 and yes, it cost a lot but it will probably be my only controller for many years now. Buying something that breaks after a year will cost you more in the long run. It’s expensive to be cheap.

I wouldn’t use bluetooth due to input delay, but the 2.4Ghz wireless dongle 8bitdo sold separately at the time I was buying Pro 2 controllers was plug and play on Linux. Same goes for their Arcade Sticks.

If wired is okay then yeah that’ll work well. I always try to list flaws in stuff I own as well, so: Pro 2 the input method sliding switch on the rear of the controller is the weak spot in the design. If you frequently use that it’ll eventually cause spotty connection issues according to complaints I’ve read over the years. The D-Pad isn’t something you’d want to use for fighting games, but I love it for retro. Very NES-like.

Mine very rarely leave xinput so it’s been fine for me.

I’ve had good luck with generic Logitech and ps4 controllers, at least on steam + Linux.

prole,

If you are broke, then go for the generic Logitech. But otherwise, I would recommend staying away. My experience has been that they actually made playing games less fun because they are so shoddy.

Play a couple dozen hours with a XBone or DS controller, and you will understand why they are more expensive.

If I’m going to be holding this thing for potentially hundreds of hours, I’m gonna get something that’s comfortable and works well.

warmaster, do games w Gamepad for Linux Gaming?

Xbox controllers need a Windows PC to update their drivers.

rumschlumpel,

And how often do you need to update a controller’s drivers?

warmaster,

It could be right out of the box. Happened to me with 2 controllers.

rumschlumpel, (edited )

Refund that trash.

I never updated my controller even once, and it never had any software issues whatsoever.

Nibodhika,

Need is a very strong word, I’ve had Xbox controllers for years that have never seen a Windows PC.

prole,

Yeah I dunno about all that.

Strider, do gaming w Show some respect

I know it’s humor but you shouldn’t buy a new 2ds anyhow. It’s the worst and most fragile model. The top screen breaks very easily when closed and replacing it is not worth the effort.

Buy any model besides this one.

cafuneandchill,

Idk, I’ve had one for 7 years at least, and it’s fine. Just gotta be more careful

Strider,

Yes, you have to be more careful.

And for a device also aimed at younger people and being a mobile device, that really sucks.

If you treat it well you’ll be fine, of course. But accidents happen.

cafuneandchill,

Yeah, can’t argue here

@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

I thought the point of it was that it was more durable. The most common break was folding the screen the wrong way and snapping it in half. Is the pic above even a 2DS?

EDIT: That’s a 2DS XL. Looks like it would have all the problems of a 3DS.

Strider,

Yes, that’s a NEW Nintendo 2ds xl. The new is very important since there are (very few) games that only run on new with more power and ram.

So the issue with these is that the top is so flimsy that if you close it and put the plastic under stress it will break the screen. If it’s open and you stress the screen from the front, it’s okay.

So what happens is that people toss it on the couch closed and sit on it (note comfy couch) and upon opening see the broken screen.

Ive seen this happen first hand a few times. This does not happen with any 3ds or the regular (ugly but very sturdy) 2ds.

Psythik,

Also why would you want one? The 3D effects are really good and there’s no eyestrain at all.

Strider,

It was much cheaper, and the 3D Effect has some downsides. For one, on some games it’s really not done well so can be skipped. Later games don’t support it at all and also that a surprising amount of people also can not even utilize it because they do not have 3D vision.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In,

Young kids shouldn’t have prolonged exposure to pseudo 3d images. It messes with the focal length.

3D effect gave me massive headaches, and was more like looking in a fishbowl to me.

tomkatt,
@tomkatt@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve had a “new” 2DS XL since 2019 and it’s fine. It’s really not bad and the top screen is fine. My only complaint is with the battery life (it uses the smaller regular 3DS battery) and the downfiring speakers.

Strider,

I’m happy that yours still works but it doesn’t make the crap build any better.

@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

At school there were a bunch of Xbox cod players that were friends and I was in their class and they gave me so much shit every day. It was like 5v1 and 3 were way bigger than me and 1 my size and 1 smaller. We would always argue about which friend group was better but could not resolve it because my friends and i were on ps3. We ended up getting to rank 1 on this team ladder and they were so mad they pushed me around and pushed me over. So I when i saw their small friend alone in the hallway I attacked him. Didnt do any damage because was to young to cause proper damage. Just called him racial slurs and punched him in the face and pushed him over. It was the style at time.

The next day I thought i was dead as soon as I got to class. But actually it turns out they pretended it never happened and ignored me and we didnt really argue after that. The only conversions we had after were small talk asking thoughts on the new game or guns perks etc.

I got beat up for fucking up someone’s trickshot in search and destroy. We took mw2 a little to seriously that game was our life.

Another one. About 2005 my friend had a birthday we a went to his house and did stuff but then played runescape and he had no items so he logged into his older brothers account and drop traded us his rune set. I got a rune platebody that I could NOT wear. His brother pm ingame asking for it back the next day and I said I had no idea what he was talking about. Then on Monday he beat him up at school until I said I would give it back and then he hunted down all of my friends who got his given his items.
