preference of the data for dynamical dark energy

That is a quite weak statement, I presume it implies that this result has not excluded a cosmological constant by a long shot, bacause that would have been huge.

Hollow knight. The exploration of that game is absolutely the pinnacle of world layouts

wilsnat, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?
@wilsnat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

UFO 50, In Other Waters, Planet of Lana, The Last Game, Genome Guardian, La-Mulana 2, Stacklands DLC…And a steam deck. I decided to finally get the deck before we might get tariffs and UFO 50 was my main purchase for handheld play.

Lastly, I really enjoyed Moonring during this sale period but that is available for free. Thought I should give it some cred despite not fitting your prompt.

God of War 2018. I played all the original games but I was still just a casual fan. I heard about the new game coming out but didn’t really pay much attention to it. I eventually play it and holy crap I didn’t know it was going to be what it was. Before playing it, I had RDR2 as my game of the year but GOW really stole it in the end.

Bioshock.

The Zero Escape Series. I wish I could play it again without knowing anything.

Same with Professor Layton games (for the big plots).

Chants of Senaar - You interpret alien languages.

ladytaters,

Echoing Zero Escape. The twists and turns of the series are absolutely magical, and I wish I could play the end of 999 for the first time again.

I got lucky and was there when my partner played for the first time, and watching his shock was a treat!

Subnautica. You can only play it for the first time once.

@Lennnny@lemmy.world avatar

Absolutely this. I am jealous each time I recommend it to someone who hasn’t played it yet.

SidewaysHighways,

I’m glad there was a thread about Subnautica in here.

absolutely stunning, especially if one has any kind of decent audio system

LuckyPierre,

I tried it a few years ago and gave up after an hour of not knowing what to do. But I had this week off and tried it again, it I’m really enjoying it this time. It’s not like anything else, and once that initial bump is passed its learning curve is really quite good.

It is one of my all-time favorite games. I have unfortunately played it to death; I’ve run out of stupid challenge runs. The game has a story and uniquely for survival games it has an ending, there’s a Win The Game button. But the game is as much about the story you’re going to create; the way you choose to go about things, the order you decide to explore in, the happenstances of your adventure are maybe more important than what the wiki says the story is. Savor that.

I will offer this hint. I don’t think it’s a spoiler; I think there is a strong possibility this hint will prevent you from alt-tabbing out to look up the wiki and accidentally encounter a spoiler. But I will tag it as a spoiler anyway.

spoilerIf you find yourself without an immediate goal, you’re milling about the ocean thinking “well now what?” Go deeper.

Tunic. Knowing how to do the puzzles defeats the fun of the game.

+1 Loved every time I learned a new mechanic through the game.

Rez and Fez. Similar names, very different games.

Morrowind.

I mean, it's a 22 year old game, but since you asked nicely... 🤷‍♂️Seeing that silt strider just outside Seyda Neen after the intro to what looked like your run of the mill D&D style fantasy RPG was a surprise, to say the least…

… and it was just the beginning.

It’s a real shame later Elder Scrolls games mostly lost that otherworldly feel.

AngryCommieKender,

What they did to The Summerset Isles in ESO is a crime against Auriel and the 9 divines. I was expecting mushroom houses, and they made rivendell.

I’m not salty and bitter. Bethesda is salty and bitter.

It’s almost impossible to have not been bombarded with the main story and setting of Morrowind by this point. But when this game came out, it was an experience and a half. Unlike anything I had seen before at least. Sure, Ultima, TES 2, etc all existed. But none of them had never sold their world so effectively if you ask me.

Conspiracy theorists: “scientists know it’s all wrong but they’re preventing the truth from coming out to protect their precious ‘theories’”

Actual scientists: “crap, our theories were dead on yet again, damn it, will someone please finally blow even a tiny hole in this thing so we can move forward”

Someone already mentioned Disco Elysium, system shock 2 and BioShock are also very good

BmeBenji, do games w What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?

Most of the really good games have been posted already, so here are three that you should play regardless if you’ve never heard of them before:

  1. Frog Fractions
  2. Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm
  3. GAME OF THE YEAR 420 BLAZE IT

Check them all out because they’re short and free

superkret,

NICE! I like free stuff!

BluesF,

Oh man, frog fractions! Been a long time but that is an experience I will never forget.

superkret,

Just finished Frog Fractions.
I…what the fuck???
(honestly though, one of the best games I played this year)

BmeBenji,

Dude you must be so good at fractions now!!!

superkret,

I certainly know everything there is to know about the immigration process on Bug Mars now.

Outside. Recent patches may affect your starting location.

superkret, (edited )

This is the worst example in this thread. You do not want to launch this game unprepared!

Much better to have an established player with enough resources build and equip your character.
If you put too few points in resources, choose the wrong class or race, or get hit by a random nerf, you’ll be locked out of most of the progression.
There’s no second chances, all you get is one save. And when you quit the game, it bricks your system.

BmeBenji, do games w What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?

Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. This game is fairly old now (like maybe 15 years) and I’ve only played it once and it took like 4 hours of total playtime, but it remains among the most memorable games I’ve witnessed. I HIGHLY recommend it.

superkret, (edited )

I mean, why the fuck not? 😂

https://feddit.org/pictrs/image/a1d5f039-fd07-487b-8415-2a28e091723a.png

This is probably the cheapest thing I bought this month.
(and that includes the purchase of a single bell pepper)

BmeBenji,

Yay! Just, please don’t leave it untouched. Mild spoiler, but the game tells you how long you should play each session and the first is 30 minutes. So please give it a 30 minute chance to grab you
