I must say, this is an interesting collection of news!

Q: So, using Heroic I could launch Epic games without installing their launcher?

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! That’s exactly how Heroic works!

Check their website if you want to look at the FAQ, its extensive in what it covers there!

But, it definitely bypasses the need for Epic’s launcher. As with Amazon Games titles, and GOG as well! An all-in-one :)

That's good! (although I shouldn't really try to make my backlog longer than it already is) I asked caused the FAQ wasn't very clear about it.

Right now there is a good chance of aurora boralis, where I live (approximately 55 deg. latitude), which is not the most common.

Yes, at this time of the year, and Yes at this time of the day. However not localised entirely within my kitchen.

conditional_soup,

Legend!

I’ve heard it can be hard to see with the naked eye, and it seems like it would probably get murdered by city lights. Something like some low power, wide-lens binoculars might help collect enough light to make it visible. Also, I’ve heard that cell phone cameras and cameras in general are pretty good at picking up the Aurora over the naked eye, especially on longer exposures.

Twanquility,

Sounds about right. The main problem is getting our somewhere dark, where the horizon is visible. There are buildings for miles around, and its really cold because of the winds. I’ve got so many good excuses. I’m glad you have a long list of objects to look for. Its quite impressive, to be honest. I know my way around, but still not that many DSO’s off the top of my head 🙌

If it’s more permanent show them an Azeron Cyro at www.azeron.euIt’s a mouse with a thumbstick, you can play almost any PC game with one hand. Comes in both right and left handed versions.

I am the man that arranges the blocks

That decend upon me from up. Above.

They come down and I spin them around

Till they fit in the ground like hand. In. Glove.

Tum,

I am the man that arranged the blocks

That are made by the men. in. Kazakhstan.

My grandpa once told me a story

Of when he worked in the bycicle factory

And the delivery of bike chains didn’t come in

So for producing. enough. bikes.

They took the chains from the finished products

And brought the dismembered and the new bicycle. into. storage.

Another one on the list for the five year plan.

Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee both support single hand mode.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is basically just more BG3 (though with less production quality) so that should be right up your RPG-loving friend’s alley. Turn based combat and click-to-move lets you play the whole thing with just your mouse I’m pretty sure.

Grimtuck, do games w One-handed games?

Rafa Nadal is right handed and plays left handed. If someone has issues with a non-dominant hand then it’s time to start making the other one dominant.

RiQuY,

Try to read the post again, “having issues with an arm” doesn’t sound as simple as you might think…

helix,

for most games you need two hands though ;)

Puyo Puyo Champions has a one-handed controller preset. D-pad or ABXY to move, shoulder buttons to rotate.

Only caveat is that if you want to play online, only the Switch version is actively populated, so I can't recommend the game on any other platform.

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w People who have played Assassin's Creed Shadows, how is it so far?
AFC1886VCC,

You could probably write a decent review of the game without even playing it. It’s Ubisoft, their games are all the same. Shit.

DebatableRaccoon,

Absolutely. That review I posted is exactly what I was anticipating when seeing the footage multiple channels were posting back in January. I’m just a little surprised to see so many singing false praises like that shit he shows of a reviewer giving it a 100 and starting with a line like “it has flaws”. I encountered another video where the review had the gall to say “the parkour is the best it’s ever been. It’s nothing like in Unity but the animations are so good”. This is a reviewer who’s previously panned animation-based parkour in favour of the old mechanics-based style. Everyone’s blowing Ubisoft because the company is supposedly on Death’s doorstep despite them having firmly put themselves there. It’s sickening.

Hyphlosion, do gaming w There are many games that I've only seen the first 40% of because I keep starting over...

This is me in Final Fantasy. I was in the middle of the ocean on a ship. Don’t remember what I did last or where I was going. Spent an hour going around the map killing things and still couldn’t figure it out.

A lot of people talking about the arcade component, but Tetris was the original shareware. It was a phenomena that spread through the USSR until it touched a British entrepreneur. It didn’t even keep score originally.

@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

A shitload of early games only method of defeating the player was simply to be come more difficult or faster until the player ran out of lives, especially during the early years of video games in the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is not a feature unique to Tetris at all.

The only real difference is Tetris’ longevity, which has far outlasted the Soviet Union it originated from.

Many great games are like this. Dwarf Fortress is my personal favorite, where losing is fun.

Xenny,

Project Zomboid goes “THIS IS HOW YOU DIED” Everytime I start a new game and well, it hasn’t been wrong yet.

Zidane,

Is the new build coop yet? I wanna work a farm with the homies.

dubyakay,

Sadly it is not.

Finding new ways in which the environment (or your own actions) can kill you in Noita is very satisfying.

9bananas,

right up until redacted and suddenly it’s reeeaaaal difficult to find a way to end the game, because dying isn’t an option if you didn’t prepare for it XD

WorldsDumbestMan,

I found one of those genies that multiply in someone’s multiplayer room.

I farmed the Valkyrie for wishes until I was broken, but I still could not reliably cast my own wish spell. Turns out, it gets harder to cast the more you level it up. You would need some ridicilous stuff to counter that.

trigg,

I’m always here for DF talk. Aquifer and active volcano remains a favourite

henfredemars,
@henfredemars@infosec.pub avatar

Oh man I used to hate aquifers. They’re more manageable in the latest version but I still don’t find myself enjoying it as a resource.

Volcanos are too much fun. I often unleash gratuitous amounts of fun playing with lava.

sp3tr4l,

Kenshi also doesn’t really have a ‘win’ state.

Lots of other sandbox style games as well.

Can you ‘win’ Caves of Qud? Or just… not die lol?

grimoire,

Qud has an ending now, it came with the 1.0 update.

sp3tr4l,

Ah! Did not know that, thanks!

I’ll have to give it another spin.

WorldsDumbestMan,

I somehow became unable to lose, getting FPS death instead, and was forced to quit.

I am a failure.

Back in the day we disabled thermal calculation and used DFHack to clean up items.

Not sure how well the Steam version addresses this.

Rob200, do gaming w People who have played Assassin's Creed Shadows, how is it so far?

Assassin’s Creed shadows has some beautiful looking environments.

capt_wolf, (edited ) do games w One-handed games?

Just FYI, there are a number of controllers out there for people who only have the use of one hand that are relatively cheap. I don’t always have the use of both hands, and I can definitely say that it’s possible to learn to use regular controllers effectively one handed as well. Both the Logitech F710 and the 8Bitdo Pro 2 work really well in my opinion. People have laughed at me, but the 8bitdo Zero 2 surprisingly works really well too, but is much more limited for inputs and thus, more suited to retro games.
