simon574, do gaming w Your Opinion on my Game Idea

I don’t see how the gameplay helps with the programming tasks, and I don’t see how the programming tasks enhance the gameplay. Let’s assume the game is already finished, I think the game part would be improved by replacing the programming part with a simpler, more rewarding mechanic. And the programming part could be improved by getting rid of the gameplay, as it would remove distractions. Pulling off educational games that people actually want to play is notoriously hard because of conflicting goals. IMO you should aim for a more integrated experience with in-game “coding” and direct feedback.

Oh nice! I super want to get Blasphemous 2. I loved the first one.

I’m continuing my slow progress through Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

chloyster,

You def should! It’s basically an improvement in every way imo over the first. I’ve heard some don’t like the cutscene art style as much but it doesn’t bother me

idotherock,

Oh cool! I can’t wait! Cheers!

Hadriscus,

Had no idea there was a Blasphemous 2 ! Will try

Hubi, do games w Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of September, 4, 2023

I’ve started a second playthrough of Kingdom Come Deliverance and really enjoying it so far. I recently upgraded my PC and expected to be able to play it on “Ultra” settings but I’m still stuck with 40-70 FPS on high. The game is beautiful but it’s also horribly optimized lol

manapropos,

Jank aside, that’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. I have high hopes for the sequel

Hubi,

Absolutely, me too!

I believe turning the physics settings down help the framerate a lot.

Hubi,

Thanks for the tip!

Faster than light - manage crew in a 2D strategy environment and jump around in space. Pretty unique gameplay which only recently got some clones.

Teardown - Work as criminal stealing stuff, but the clue is you can destroy everything and you need to create smart parkour to steal stuff right in time before the cops arrive. Also you can sandbox play it if you get bored.

Terra Nil - Bring back nature to a destroyed earth, with relaxing and calm mechanics. Highly recommend.

Others: FEZ, solve puzzles. Deep Rock Galactic, because dwarfs being this much dwarf is just dwarftastic. Rock and Stone!

hurtn, do piracy w On demand sports streaming?

just get this. all your live TV media problems solved. privateiptvaccess.com

SomeoneElse,

Isn’t that live tv only? No on demand?

ANIMATEK,

I just checked and the basic plan has 19K VODs. Maybe report back if you like it?

SomeoneElse,

I will. If it does work it’ll make a lot of British tennis fans happy!

CeleryFC,

Have you found an answer if it plays sports on demand? Thinking of signing up for this to watch the premier league matches in the US.

SomeoneElse,

No, but I have emailed them to ask. I’ll let you know if I get an answer/try it to see.

CeleryFC,

Thanks man!

SomeoneElse,

Hey! I had no luck finding sports replays on demand from an IPTV. But I did find a work around for this event - ESPN via YouTubeTV. It’s an American service so you need a VPN and US zip code - 11108 worked for me. It has a 21 day free trial and has all the EPSN channels (except plus) live and on demand. It wouldn’t let me sign up with my UK based PayPal, but it happily accepted my UK debit card with the American zip code.

CeleryFC,

What a legend! Follows up 3 weeks later with an answer and a work around solution! Love it! Thanks brother, you deserve all the best in this world.

SomeoneElse,

You’re welcome! I forgot to say, if it helps in future I did find some decent live coverage on IPTV, much better than sky sports and ESPN imo. The Australian channel Stan had a dedicated channel for every court (Stan sports 1-19), commentary on every main draw match and no adverts. It was better than the live sports streaming websites. Have a good one 👍🏼

ive been using the steam flatpack on silverblue for a while now.

there are a few cases where steam wont start (less then once every 2 months i think)
that usually are resolved by updating the flatpack.

otherwise i have not noticed any other issues.

sandriver,

flatpaks might be out since I hear mixed reports about whether SteamVR even functions with the Steam flatpak.

Flatpak has it largely covered at this point, especially with most DE’s stores supporting their update prompts. Come to NixOs and meet the misses

BlueSquid0741, do gaming w State of gaming on immutable Linux distros?

I have a HTPC setup for steam gaming using Micro OS. I haven’t touched it in a few months, but for the earlier parts of this year I frequently played Dead Cells, Art of Rally, Bloodstained, Vampire Survivor, Stardew Valley, games like that.

I used a couple of PS4 controllers via Bluetooth, just using the touchpad on the controller for if I needed to use a mouse cursor on the desktop or something.

One gripe was that I couldn’t get MicroOS to auto login, so I had to keep a keyboard next to the tv so I could sign in everything I wanted to play a game.

The first two games that came to mind are unfortunately only available on PS4. I’ll mention them anyway, just in case they come to PC in future or someone else that has a PS4 is interested: Tearaway Unfolded is a really sweet game in a paper craft world. You manipulate paper scenery to help with platforming and really customise your character in creative ways. Just a unique and charming game. And Gravity Rush 1&2. These games let you alter gravity to fly around a beautiful open world - I’ve never played something with a traversal and combat system like this.

I agree with Obra Dinn and the Witness as mentioned by others!

This is probably a weird suggestion, but you could emulate Metal Gear Ac!d 2 (PSP game). It’s a stealth game (like the rest of the MGS series) mixed with a deck builder, so your actions are dictated by the cards that you play. The second one in particular perfects the formula IMO. It’s super satisfying and I’d love to see more games of this type!

Prison Architect is pretty cool and unique.

Portal reloaded adds time portals ontop of the normal portals.

Splitgate is an FPS that adds portals on top of Halo style combat. Very fun but may be hard to find a game these days its kinda dead.

Age of empires 3 is an RTS that adds shipments. These shipments increase the pace of the early game and allow for way more personalized play as well as allowing players to react to different things without shifting their entire build order.

GTFO is a horror fps where you and 3 other human players take on raids and these raids are changed each season. When the raids are retired they are gone. You must beat the lvl 1 raids to unlock lvl 2 and so on.

Radio Commander. Its an RTS where you sit in a tent in Vietnam and give and recieve orders via radio. You have a map that you can mark where things are based on the info you get.

  • Patrick’s Parabox: Push blocks around to activate switches and reach the exit but the blocks can be pushed into and out of each other recursively, it’s awesome
  • Fez: Already been suggested so +1 for this, lovely game
baconicsynergy, do gaming w What's the funniest game you've played?

For me its gotta be Donut County. I was baked out of my mind and my best friend was like “Dude you gotta play this game” and handed me his controller. It was awesome.

store.steampowered.com/app/702670/Donut_County/

Stillhart,

Have you played Katamari Damacy? I feel like it was a pretty obvious influence on Donut County.

PS - Donut County is on Gamepass for anyone who has it.

baconicsynergy,

I’ve only played a little bit of Katamari Damaci but its such a WILD game!! I should go back again and try to beat it. Oh yeah, there’s totally some influence
