I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I’m sure it wasn’t long ago. I laugh pretty easily at a lot of different things, like ironic situations or bugs/glitches that look silly.

I’m still so mad about this. I have a save with over 350 hours in. It’s the only souls game I’ve ever played because I thought it was awesome.

I sat it down and waited on the DLC, which I bought. I went to go play it and realized that one of the updates corrupted my save.

I don’t have the heart to play through it again. I just can’t. I’ll never play that DLC I spent $40 on.

i should get a computer one day so i can resume playing this game again it looks like it should be interesting still

Rai, do games w Finally Decided I Explored Enough and Beat the Game (Elden Ring)

Fuck yeah! I don’t think I ever will. I’m down hundreds hours in of just fucking around and exploring and I keep hitting walls in the expansion. There’s a crazy tree bitch I can’t kill at the bottom of somewhere even with expert help. Aaaaaaaaa

NuXCOM_90Percent,

The one which is like four bosses in a row?

Get more scadutree fragments to increase your DPS and look into weapon arts that drop a DOT blob on the field (e.g. a magma puddle) since those are meant to hurt enemies that walk past and do ridiculous damage on the biggies what barely move.

And if your build supports if (or you want to go hang out with mommy), Great Stars is RIDICULOUSLY good for the DLC due to healing per hit. And the Prayerful Strike weapon art is more or less cheating in the DLC because of a mix of strong healing and holy being one of the few elements DLC bosses tend to at least not be strong against.

Rai,

Yeah, the one that’s you beat and it’s like “NOPE SECOND HEALTHBAR”, then you beat it again and it’s like “UMMM TIME DOR ANOTHER HEALTH BAR”

I’m fairly early into the expansion, I’ve only beaten two legacy dungeons. I figured I’d just come back once I learned he’s options.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

I want to say that is one of the last bosses of the DLC “narratively”?

But yeah. From love stuff like that. Gargoyles and Maneater in Dark 1 and Demon. The gargoyle gauntlet in Dark 2. The idea being that it is meant to pressure you but is really just a thinly veiled DPS gate.

I forget if the tree fuckers are one at a time or if they can Four Kings to overwhelm you, but the idea is that you are going to take damage but that is what your estus is for. The idea being that you can spike DPS to minimize the damage you take per health bar. And then you cry when you realize you decided to do that on NG+ where you can no longer rush them.

Hollow Knight Silksong.

SpoilerThe trap bench in Hunters March. After the absolutely grueling effort it took getting there, the relief of finally coming upon a bench, only to see the trap come swinging down. All I could do was laugh.

Katana314, do gaming w This is not how we treat aliens

Factorio has a pretty brilliant message in it.

The whole appeal, the whole marketing, in the game is about making this gigantic steampunk thing. But then, hidden in a corner is a Pollution metric - how much harm your factory is doing to this planet, thus angering the bugs.

By being so indirect about the messaging of your grand conquest, you’re made aware of how horrifically abusive corporate empires can dominate continents without really considering their goal state and its damage; and how their response can end up being violent and destructive without initially planning to “Wipe out all other life in this region so I can have it for myself”

Must’ve been one of the early Space Quest games. It’s been a while.

The Messenger was hilarious

warmaster, do games w When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?

I can’t remember the last time a game made me intentionally laugh. I laughed my ass off about situations, bugs, but… scripted comedy?

Maybe a smile, a faint giggle, but actual laughter? I can’t remember.

biofaust,

That’s exactly why I was so surprised by Dispatch! It has stuff at the same level of Sam & Max: Hit the Road whose the next door shop from the office I will never forget: “Bosco’s Guns, Liquors, Baby Needs”

Strider, do games w When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?

Indiana Jones and the great circle: npc walking around on Gizeh and the clothes of one being in T-pose.

Oh, Bethesda.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

There were actually good, written gags in that game, too. Plus the general “Indy found himself in a place where needed to improvise and punch some Nazis” sort of gameplay that the game did so well. I can’t even recall a single bug from my playthrough.

Strider,

Yeah that was nice. The whole game was nice albeit too much promise and left far behind by any uncharted (>1) which came long before.

That at a premium price is too little. (not saying anyone should share this highly subjective opinion!)

But that’s not the point I was teing to make. I literally laughed at that typical Bethesda T-pose.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I was a big fan of Uncharted 2 and 3, but Uncharted 4 stopped giving me control of the action and started making it barely interactive or just a cut-scene, and I found The Great Circle to be an excellent counter to that, personally. Even if you saw a T-pose, it doesn’t seem right to call it a typical Bethesda thing. There’s a big difference between Bethesda, the developer of Elder Scrolls, and Machine Games, the developer of Wolfenstein and Indiana Jones; they don’t even use the same engine between them.

Strider,

I know. /Harrison Ford smirk

Bob_Robertson_IX, do gaming w What's the state of Linux gaming with Proton?

As others have mentioned, it’s not really anything I even think about any more. The other day I bought Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary, installed it and was playing it before I even thought that I should have checked for compatibility first.

The biggest question is deciding which OS you want to install… I went with Nobara because it already had all of the dependencies needed for Steam, but it is not the only distro that comes ‘Steam ready’.

psx_crab,

I heard Mint is closest to the window experience, not sure about steam ready though, i didn’t know that is a thing i need to watch out for. i think i might try that first

andrewta,

I use mint with steam. No real issues at this point.

If you can. Get an external solid state drive and install Linus there to figure out any issues then if you screw up, you still have windows 10 as back up until you figure out all the issues. Then when you are ready wipe windows and install Linux that way

Katana314,

I think Mint is the cleanest recommendation when you don’t want to be held liable for issues; but for gaming specifically, I ended up liking CachyOS a bit more.

It’s very bleeding-edge, which if you know tech is often a good and bad thing. But games work well. It is not quite so clean with things like installing popular apps - I’m using a package manager called “bauh”, which is relatively new, unrefined, but works. I still end up installing a few things from terminal, which I know shouldn’t be needed for casual users.

Last I tried Mint was early in the year and I think I installed from an old version. It could be what few gaming issues I saw are gone.

Last night, playing PALWORLD. Such a funny and silly game.

I was playing Divinity Original Sin recently. After I got Pet Pal, what the animals think of each other and the people around them gave me a lot of good laughs.

Last month I fell into Cyberpunk 2077. There is a lot of humor in that game, but I remember getting a call at 2 in the morning to pick up dick melting off guy and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
