HorreC, do games w Petition Activision Blizzard and Grinding Gear Games to ban Elon

I mean while its deplorable I dont think either company has anything about hate actions outside the game. And if they wernt willing to ban him for account sharing (which I am sure they could show he was gaining XP while also being live on TV) then this wont move the needle. Also to be fair I wouldnt want to be in any forward facing position if they did, the brown shirts would internet come for you.

I played an unhealthy amount of Baldur’s Gate 3 and finished my run. Sadly, Ansur, the last boss before I went onto the finale, ended the Honor Mode part. I’m a bit salty about it, since it wasn’t the boss being too hard or something, but mainly bugs, that did me in.

My first try I got him to half HP, then the game just didn’t want to use any actions anymore. I couldn’t even save and quit, but had to go through Task Manager to kill it. Next try I get him to like 80hp, fresh turn with all of my characters, but the game just crashes. Third time, he’s at 80 or so again, but because of terrible animations I didn’t see that he was supposed to be flying in the air, charging his giga attack. Because of some debuff, he was just writhing on the floor, so I just couldn’t really tell. I had a dozen Globe of Invulnerability scrolls, so I could have survived easily.

Anyway, I’ll do another run next month, after Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and maybe the new Diablo 4 season, but dunno about that last one.

toxicbubble420, do gaming w Best version of Pandemic boardgame on Android?

I have plague inc by ndemic, but it’s not the board game version

zabadoh,

Plague Inc. comes in at the top of a search in the Play Store for “pandemic” but I understand that it’s kind of a reverse concept of the Pandemic boardgame: You try to wipe out those pesky humans by developing an incurable virus.

I might be inclined to give it a try if I can’t find a decent implementation of Pandemic.

Cuttlersan,

There is a mode for Plague Inc where the tables are turned and you try to stop a pandemic, last I played!

toxicbubble420,

there are different scenarios you can purchase like zombies, vampires or even planet of the apes

smeg,

I remember playing “Pandemic” as a flash game (or similar) many years ago. Plague Inc seemed to basically be the same game, and I think Pandemic the board game is completely unrelated. Not very helpful for your actual question, but I think it explains the search results.

GrindingGears, do gaming w Best version of Pandemic boardgame on Android?

You might be able to find the APK somewhere for pandemic. Might not work for the modern android builds, that’s likely what it is. That game was hard a f___.

I did find an APK on some outfit called apkvision.org, installed it, but it had something something about Iran, so I probably now have Iranian malware on my phone. 😓

zabadoh,

As a follow up, possible Iranian malware be damned, this turned out to be the smoothest running version of the game that I tried.

BitDefender didn’t find anything, but of course that doesn’t mean anything after you have the app installed.

Others that I tried had Chinese stuff on bootup, and stuttered when running.

Artyom, do games w Large Language Models in Video Games?

The voice actors for The Finals are completely made with AI, there is no real actor behind the scenes they started from.

That’s not really what you had in mind, you’re probably imagining a live-response model, but it is something that’s happening now.

Object,

Yeah, I’m generally not fond of using AI, but that clip where June goes fucking crazy convinced me that it might actually be viable. Not to that level of craziness, but having them go on like SC2 casters throughout the entire game would fit in so much.

As a father of a 8 month old baby, I have barely touched any of my gaming systems for the past year. Games need to be quickly accessible and possible to quit at any time for me to play. So mobile gaming is basically where I’m at.

Slay The Spire works perfectly well for Android. I’ve been playing that a ton.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is weirdly fun. Even though it’s encouraging microtransactions and subscriptions, it’s very much playable without making a single transaction. The TCG is decently interesting, though not without flaws. It’s still in a very early stage, so I’m interested to see how the game grows.

pscamodio,

As a father of two the best gaming thing that happened to me was my steam deck.

Biggest selling point is the sleep/resume.

It works perfectly on a lot of games and allowed me to finish for example control in short-ish sessions.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

That’s a great point. I have a nintendo switch, but I have more or less played through the entirety of all the games I have been interested in before my child was born. I did pick up pokemon violet, but the game was very short and had some disgusting responsiveness and aestetics which discourages me from grinding the post game.

Maybe a handheld pc will be my next purchase. Thanks for the suggestion!

As a more portable and budget-friendly alternative, consider a small emulation console. I’m very happy with my Anbernic RG35XXSP. Since the screen folds like on the original GBA SP, it’s absolutely tiny and fits into any pocket - without having to worry that the screen might scratch. Configure it correctly and you can close the screen to suspend games.

This kind of system would also make for a great first gaming device once your kid is around five years old.

My grandfather died right around the release of psychonauts 2. I played that game nearly non-stop while I did a 100% completion. It got me through the start of that grieving period. I remember being mad it wasn’t longer because nothing else released at the time was nearly that good when it came to writing and gameplay. Amazing game to be honest. Definitely in my top 10 all time. But I might be biased because of it being exactly what I needed when I needed it.

TankovayaDiviziya, (edited ) do gaming w My regular depression will defeat post game depression with its decades of experience.

To be honest, I never got that feeling. I always feel catharsis finishing a game. However, with a huge exception on the Metal Gear Solid series, because Hideo Kojima always leaves more questions than answers at the end of the games. But without spoiling anything for those who haven’t played it yet, the exception in itself in the series is MGSV which completed the series full circle at the end.

The only time I felt empty after consuming a media is after the finale of Breaking Bad. Never have I felt so empty and lost on what to do after. Post-college life does not even beat it.

Since I just got my deck repaired and returned, I can continue Sonic Origins on there. Had to install it on my desktop temporarily.

I also just got the summon I wanted tonight in Fire Emblem Heroes: New Year’s Níðhöggr (Nithhoggr). As a casual I see strong unit like her and think I’m gonna be set for a long time (at least a new unit summoning banner or 2 from now hopefully), like when I got Heir to Openness Alphonse or Gatekeeper (even though he didn’t last long for me).

Wait, how else are you suppose to beat boss fights without just keep trying until you do?

As the meme implies, stop and think about how to change tactics.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Grandwolf319,

As the meme implies, stop and think about how to change tactics.

Uhhh no? Especially if your playing a game that your suppose to try multiple times like hades.

I guess it depends on the game but imo the best boss fights are puzzles (god of war style) where you don’t change tactics, you keep playing until you figure out the puzzle.

Idk if I call that changing tactic, I just keep trying until I figure it out.

jjjalljs,

I mean if you want to keep running bleed against a boss immune to bleed go ahead, but I’ll probably switch to an occult infusion.

Kazumara,

I like your funny words, but I’ll just continue to hit him with my Heavy axe until he falls over.

illi,

Agreed, but adjusting tactics often is part of the puzzle, no? You need to solve the puzzle (find out what work = changing tactics) and then executing that solution

teawrecks,

If you never consider more than one possible tactic, then by definition you’re not solving a puzzle, you’re just executing a fixed series of instructions.

You give Hades as an example of a game where you’re doing the same thing every run, but on the contrary the game is specifically designed so that no two runs are alike. It’s trying its best to force you to change tactics each run, that’s the point.

SolarMonkey,

I spent 172 hours retrying the final boss fight on ff8. I mistakenly saved just before the end boss with 2 phoenix downs, a handful or potions and ethers, and not much else. It took weeks to beat her alone.

I learned many things in those multiple weeks of doing basically the same thing over and over again, with minor tweaks to strategy… the first of which is always maintain a second save at least 3 hours prior to the current save. The second thing was never have an empty inventory even if you legit never bother using any of it. Don’t sell anything until you hit max stax.

And finally I learned that sometimes trying the same exact thing for the 20th time actually does work for reasons. And that was on like ps1 framework. A lot more stuff is a lot more random now.

The idea is that you wear them down, not that they wear you down. Its a battle of attrition, and the winner takes all (or not very much)

Buddahriffic, do gaming w The beatings will continue until the skill improves

A good portion of my failures in boss fights are due to getting the boss low and thinking, “I can just spam attack until he’s dead now” and then getting caught by attacks I was avoiding prior to that.

And a decent portion of the ones left after eliminating those ones are due to not being used to the attacks enough to avoid them consistently.

Assuming soulslike boss fights.
