Maestro, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 10th

I've just finished the story mode of Green Hell. Now working on the Spirits of Amazonia mode. I hope I can build a more permanent base there instead of having to move every few hours.

Sounds like icararus where each mission you had to rebuild from scratch. I hear they added a permanent game mod le a fee patches ago

Trying to heal in World of War craft. I feel like the large number of spell effects makes it hard for people to see where it’s safe to stand.

Deadlybossmod for audio alerts on what is coming your way. I also use GTFO for my emotional support awoogaa sound effect to tell me I am standing in the fire.

Don’t forget to install weakauras. In WoWhead you can download pre-made profiles, look for the add on section in class guides.

If you are a DPS with a interrupt, you should consider using Plater. I got this profile that color codes the enemy’s cast bar so if it is green you can interrupt it.

Finally, you can better see when your cooldowns are ready with TellMeWhen. I personally only use the floating combat text to let me know I can push out another cooldown. There is a ton of utility in this one that I am just to much of a caveman to utilize.

Why did I get back into wow?!?!? Like I needed another reason to drink. The level design is on point in this expansion at least.

Also, factorio makes me want to quit my jobs and play it until I run out of money and get evicted (again)

Retro_unlimited, do games w How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers?

If you want extra controllers I recommend the 8-bit-do controllers. They are cheaper than Nintendo. The ones I have work on switch, Xbox, pc, android, iOS, etc. they also sell a dongle to work on many more consoles. (I use the dongle on Linux and allows me to play wireless).

I already agree with most of the comments here, just wanted to add info about 3rd party controllers.

lunarul,

The ones I have work on switch, Xbox, pc, android, iOS, etc.

Is there a single controller that I can use on switch, Xbox and pc?

catloaf,

That’s literally what they said.

lunarul,

They said “the ones I have”, as in multiple. So I was wondering if all of them connect to everything, or each connect to some. That’s because I went on the 8bitdo website and I looked at several categories. The Xbox ones listed only various Xbox models under connectivity, the Bluetooth ones only listed Switch, the 2.4G and wired ones only listed Windows and Android.

themurphy,

Yeah, that would be an Xbox controller.

You then need to buy a dongle for the Switch, and that’s what the guy above is talking about. If you do that, you can play on all your mentioned devices with only one controller.

Just started Stardew Valley because I needed a distraction from the current Fortnite season which I really don’t like. I never touched it because I assumed it would be just like Terraria, but so far it’s so fun!

PunchingWood, do gaming w Gamer_IRL

I have barely ever bought anything for my Switch, only a couple of big titles for Zelda and Mario. It’s just too expensive and there are hardly ever any sales. And any third-party games I can get much cheaper on PC anyway.

The pricing also made it really difficult to understand which games were newer, like I looked at Pokemon games and the much older ones were also still priced as if they were new.

tfowinder,

Steamdeck seem much better option.

PunchingWood,

Yeah but the Steam Deck came like 5 years after I bought the Switch lol

Meanwhile I got a Gamesir G8 that I can use with my phone or tablet, and I can just remote to my PC or PS5 to play games.

tfowinder,

Yes you are right but rumors say new switch release is coming and that’s why Nintendo aggressively targetting emulators.

But steamdeck seem much better option

SARGE,
@SARGE@startrek.website avatar

Emulators are like a hydra.

Go ahead and take one down. There’s 100,000 still left to choose from, with a million more well on the way.

And the ones I’ve already got still work juuuuuust fine.

yamanii,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, release groups are still packaging ryujinx with new switch games, it’s just that good that it still works with games released after it went under.

yonder,

There were 2 viable switch emulators, Yuzu and Ryijinx. Nintendo has managed to stop development of both. Yes, you can still get them from other sources, but the original team that worked on the software is now fractured and threatened. Too bad for Nintendo that both Ryujinx and Yuzu were already good enough to play most games with minor issues on reasonable hardware.

BruceTwarzen,

I bought a switch because it was cheap and something for my nephew. I haven’t had a console since the xbox 360, so i had no idea what i missed. I thought i’ll buy mario kart, because who doesn’t like Mario kart. Game was 60 bucks. That seems steep i thought. When i opened up the game at home i realised super mario kart 8 isn’t a new title, it’s 10 years old. Start the game. Obe of the most pathetic attempts to sell children dlc’s that i have ever seen. Nice, so i bought disco elysium on sale, so i can play disco on the toilet or something. The nintendo has the biggest trouble running a point and click game. What even is that?

The funniest part about this story is that i had some trouble and went to a switch forum and asked if people buy their games used and that that is highway robbery. I never seen people being so defensive about their video game system. I was being really nice despite thinking i bought the biggest piece of shit hardware from a piece of shit company out there. Everyone told me that 60 dollars is a good price for what you get and the dlc maps are fun.

themoonisacheese,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

Don’t buy that dlc, it’s not worth 60€.

Look into hacking your switch. It’s fun and teaches you things and you get free games out of it.

2pt_perversion,

The switch is underpowered for a lot of things but if it’s having trouble with Disco Elysium that’s probably more of a knock on whichever studio handled the port.

themoonisacheese,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

You should look into hacking your switch. If you can’t do it the easy way, there’s another way that’s not for the faint of heart, but I did it and have never spent a dollar more on games since.

2pt_perversion,

V1 switch just needs a jig, simple. V2 switch picofly is affordable and accessible to diy with some soldering skills. With the OLED models they put one of the points underneath a BGA chip making that more difficult.

But getting one installed from an actual shop will still only cost the price of a Nintendo game or two.

themoonisacheese,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

I did my v2 and “accessible to diy” is, while true, overselling it. It’s accessible to people who already have extensive experience with soldering, though I suspect you could learn to do the specifics you need in a few days.

2pt_perversion,

It’s at the point where it requires enough equipment and skill that I’d recommend just going to a shop for newcomers. But it’s easy enough that you don’t need really need an expensive microscope or rework station so for people who already have some experience under their belt it’s doable as long as they practice on junk boards down to 0201 sized components.

shutthefuckup,

Fuck you you genocider bitch. I hate people like you. I hope you gets drafted to the middle east and die lmao.

Sabin10,

Out of all the Nintendo consoles I have owned (everything except the n64) the switch is the one I have the fewest games for. I don’t often buy games at full price so I guess I don’t buy Nintendo titles anymore.

flamingos, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 10th

Been playing quire a bit of the new Dragon Age. I normally don’t play games close to release, and I’ve never played a DA game before, but I watched a review and it seemed like something I was in the mood for. Been enjoying it quire a bit, more than I expected. I just really need to do something about my thermals.

Trainguyrom, do gaming w Upscaling really is black magic

The upscaling technologies they’ve been building into modern graphics stacks also have benefits for much older games where the performance isn’t necessarily needed. There’s an old game I like to play, Railroad Tycoon 2, which doesn’t run at resolutions higher than 1024x768 and modern upscaling can make that game look absolutely gorgeous despite being 4+ pixels per original pixel. I’m sure it provides similar benefits to emulators and the like too!

randombullet, do games w How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers?

You can put multiple accounts on the same device. My wife and I share one switch.

We used to have one per person, but I don’t play as much and we hardly play at the same time so I sold my other switch.

Physical games are sharable but it also means you can only play one device per cartridge at one time. So with games with only 1 save slot, you should get more physical cartridges.

Digital games are locked to the account that bought it. Anyone can play it, but if it has one save slot, then that will be the biggest issue.

MNByChoice,

Thank you. It had seemed physical games are also locked to an account, but I am learning that is not how it works.

FigMcLargeHuge,

If you have multiple profiles set up on one switch, before you start a game it will ask you which profile is playing. Any save info for that gaming session will be tied to that profile. Anyone with a Switch can use the physical media with the caveat that only one person can be playing it at a time. Now if you buy the games online, you won’t need the physical media, but the game is tied to the account. As for cost, well it can get expensive and my family usually reserved the large purchases for things like birthdays or christmas. If I had a nickel for every dollar I have spent on gaming systems over the years, I would be able to retire. :)

MNByChoice,

Any save info for that gaming session will be tied to that profile.

That is pretty great. No more remembering who has slot 3 on which game.

catloaf, do games w World of Warcraft's monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

What is your obsession with WoW? First you make multiple posts about the costs vs. investing that money, now this? Didn’t you also complain about the art style changing, even though multiple people said it’s always been like that?

You really just need to understand that different people have different feelings.

Crashumbc,

This reads like chatgpt garbage also.

PunchingWood,

Yeah and he keeps deleting his posts if they don’t perform well and he gets called out for them.

Honestly should just be banned for botting at this point.

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

This was the first of his post to get reported. I don’t ban immediately unless it is obviously a bot trying to link to forbidden content.

catloaf,

Is it reportable when someone makes low-quality AI-generated posts, even if they’re not technically breaking any rules?

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

It could fall under rule 4, but would require to be sure that it is indeed AI generated.
There are people that throws AI accusation around with no evidences other that a gut feeling, so I prefer to be cautious.

catloaf,

Makes sense. It’s not conclusive, but this user did make a post with a line like “here’s a breakdown you can post to reddit” until I pointed it out.

Not that it matters in this case, because they’ve already deleted their account.

    Thanks for contributing in unneccessary witch hunting. You’ve shown that Lemmy can be just as petulant and inhospitable as reddit. Nothing I have ever written is AI generated, such a weird criticism and hilarious to lob that at someone considering that even million dollar tech companies who have made “ai detectors” have failed spectacularly with false positives. But you dislike what I say so you’re 100% correct, right? yea that makes sense dude sure.

    It’s amusing to me how you felt the need to write this incredibly long “shame on you” rant, like you were really that bothered by some words you saw that you had to write up a long witch hunt and try to harass me.

    Dremor, (edited )
    @Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

    If you feel like an user may be a bot, please report it to a mod so we can put said user under observation in order to access its behavior.

    Your comment seem well documented, but that’s something that should be sent to the mods via PM, not posted on the open.
    If you were wrong, and he was legit, you’d have triggered an harassment campaign against him by encouraging others to just conclude he must be a bot because someone said so with a lengthy comment they don’t have the time to fully check.

    Edit: clarifying why this shouldn’t be done that way, as my previous take was kinda harsh (I was a bit tired)

    Gameplay is good. Think of it as a third person Diablo/Hades looter. Solid AA title for a good price.

    Don’t ask me about the story because in games like these I never pay attention.

    My system (a laptop, all I’ve got 'cause I had to skitterflee from doomness v.v ) can’t run much so I’m kinda stuck at “playable” framerates on old games :-\ I kinda hate to admit it but I’ve been playing Borderlands 2 … the Linux version, 'cause the Windows version, which has a bunch of patches and mod support, just doesn’t run well enough for me 😭 Can’t even get any DLC, though I’ve been really wanting to try Gaige. May be too burnt out to enjoy it any more anyway.

    Before that was Titan Quest, which just doesn’t really play like I wish it did. Played it a bunch anyway. Bleh.

    So now I’m just sitting around trying to avoid losing my mind to boredom or despair. flailyskitters around in circles 😵‍💫

    Puyo Puyo Champions - After the video essay I posted two weeks ago ended up doing so much better than I expected, 11k+ views and 600+ likes, I decided to try streaming some ranked for the first time in 2.5 years. I'm still cracked.

    Riichi Mahjong - This really ought to be worth a lot more for how rare it is.

    Persona 4 Golden - Finally coming back to this, where'd I leave off again?
