Syrc, do games w Signatures skyrocket for **Stop Killing Games** campaign after big youtubers take up the cause, resulting in 100k signatures in 48 hours. (Details on how to help in text body of post)

I don’t know if there’s any other freak sorting their Lemmy homepage to Top Monthly who just found this post, but I’d advise to edit it to let people know that even if the site lists more than 1M signatures the actually valid ones might be less, so signing even now is still a good idea, as the creator said.

Let’s plays can be okay for new games, but I’d look into emulating something on your phone. If you crave the pc experience (which I totally get), you can probably get an old laptop for very cheap, slap linux on it and have fun.

Philamand, do gaming w Do you prefer Performance mode or Quality mode?

Quality mode, as I can’t see the difference between 30 and 60 fps. I think it’s one of these things that only connaisseurs can tell the difference, like for 99% of people Pepsi taste the same as coca cola but for the 1% that drink it daily there is a difference.

pika, do gaming w Do you prefer Performance mode or Quality mode?

Personally, I use my PS5 for 3D games that look pretty and need the most power, so I play most games on Quality mode, like FFVII Remake and Rebirth, even if it drops the FPS to 30.

30fps feels cinematic to me, which I often prefer in story-driven RPGs.

Due to Long Covid I can only lay in bed and most games are too intense for me. So I actually do watch let’s plays.

I really like Welonz. She has a really nice mix of indies and big titles, regularly tries out a great variety of games. She is very thorough and while she might not find all the secrets she will go out of her way to show alternate endings and stuff. And she has an interesting voice, so rumor has it that she is actually a ten year old boy.

darkguyman,

While I have no problems with let’s plays, I still feel like they’re kinda subjective. No commentary playthroughs are on the opposite end of the spectrum but I feel really really bored watching them and I can’t say the same for let’s plays.

knokelmaat, do gaming w Do you prefer Performance mode or Quality mode?

I prefer performance mode if it is decently implemented. For slower games I go for quality mode if the difference is obvious enough. Recent examples that come to mind are Somerville and Forspoken. Forspoken is a strange one, as it is actually a really fast game, but it looked horrible on performance mode and actually worked quite well once I got used to the 30fps. I play on base PS5.

Ibuthyr, do games w Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become

Please don’t get me wrong. I’m sure you’re a loving parent and just want what’s best for your daughter. But what you’re essentially doing, is giving your kid pocket money to go play slot machines at the local dive bar.

The reason why mobile phone gaming is so bad, is because there are barely any actual games. The reason your daughter thinks it’s fun to play candy crush is not because the game itself is good, it’s because the game makes her addicted to it. This is bad. Really bad. This will have consequences on how her brain handles dopamine. Please, for the love of your family, get her off that shit immediately.

atomicpoet,

I think I know my kid better than you, a random Internet stranger who’s never met her before in her life. And consequently, has no understanding of what her actual needs are.

EncryptKeeper,

Yes the needs of your very special child are so unfathomably different from all the other children in the planet lol

atomicpoet,

Actually, my kid’s needs really are substantially different from others.

My daughter is autistic. She has trouble communicating verbally. But on Roblox, she finds it much easier to socialize.

She has never spent a cent on microtransactions but gets the opportunity to talk to other kids without being bullied.

I’m not taking that away from her just because strangers on the Internet can’t fathom different kids have different needs.

I’m sorry to hear that. Obviously we don’t know your situation but I just want to say that gaming doesn’t have to be expensive so hopefully you’re back to it sooner rather than later.

mohab, do games w Unexpectedly wholesome exchange after a poor performance from me in Rematch

I'm telling you: they need to work on camera management—introduce some kind of fixed camera mode where it's zoomed out a bit, and movement directions/passing/shooting is relative to the player, not the camera.

You're probably not even bad at the game, it's just too awkward for no clear reason other than emulating Rocket League.

Other hobbies lke hiking, biking, etc. but if your only concern is cost, why not get an old computer for super cheap, put Linux on it, and play games thay don't need high end specs?
