echo64, do games w Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

Op, I think you’re a little confused. I can’t think of a live service game that isn’t a multiplayer game in some form. the required online is because that’s literally what the game is.

Be mad about the scummy lootbox practices that prop it up, don’t be mad that other people like online games.

I mean, there are examples where the multiplayer should be optional and thus force the game to be live service. For instance, Diablo 4 should be perfectly playable single player, offline, yet it's live service and to my understanding requires an Internet connection

Boiglenoight,

“in some form,” being the key part of that. Someone mentioned Diablo 4. It doesn’t have to be always online. Gran Turismo 7 is another example. It’s a trend.

Finished Mass Effect 2 and loved it! I want to start ME3 but I think I should give it a bit more time.

Since everyone is talking about Starfield, I decided to play a bit… Of No Man’s Sky. And I’m completely lost since I hadn’t played in almost a year maybe? I don’t remember anything, what I was doing or even how to play. But since I started I already started one of the quests related to the settlement and I’m doing it now. It’s fun, I missed this game.

Did you play it on PC or console? If it’s the latter then how were the controls? I’m planning on getting it on console, but I suck at playing FPSes with a controller.

AlolanYoda,

Console, and it was perfectly fine. It’s in third person, which helps, and there are powers which don’t need to be aimed in real time. I never felt like using a mouse and keyboard would make me significantly better.

d3Xt3r,

Awesome, thank you. Guess that’s my weekend sorted. :)

acastcandream,

Mass Effect is a very slow, very forgiving combat experience unless you’re playing on insane. Pretty much everything auto locks on or has some sort of AOE component. You could pretty much play the game rarely firing a gun if you really are worried about it. But even then it’s not bad at all.

Started Thymesia. Feels a bit less polished than other Soulslikes but still enjoyable.

I highly recommend moving that to a docker or podman setup. Gluetun is the go-to for VPN traffic. Set up a little container and you can link other containers to it to route all their traffic through.

GregoryTheGreat,

The best way I’ve found.

Just beat the campaign for 2077 for the first time on Thursday. Been playing starfield for 2-3 min at a time hoping it won’t keep stuttering to a complete halt, but it does every time. But no matter my buddy sold me his old components after his most recent upgrade. So while it won’t hit the recommended specs it should cross the minimum and hopefully no more freezing! In the meantime bdl3, 2point hospital, battletech.

Mullvad is using WireGuard though

Oisteink, do piracy w How to route transmission through Mullvad?

You might want your program and the vpn interface to be in a separate namespace? Somewhat opposite this: www.wireguard.com/netns/#the-new-namespace-soluti

You don’t want all traffic routed, you want only this one app. More info here: linuxhint.com/use-linux-network-namespace/

Make sure your mullvad config is called wg0.conf in ./config.

FrostyCaveman,

I do this except with github.com/qdm12/gluetun

(which apparently also can be used as a k8s sidecar container, am gonna try this soon as well)

christophski,

I’m trying this and it seems to be running. If I run curl 127.0.0.1:9091 I get a 403 which is expected but if I try to access the same from another computer on the network then the connection times out, any idea what could be the cause?

coaxil,

Oh yes, got your password :p

Are you using a VPN? Your ISP may be blocking them.

spiritedpause,

I’m in the US, and as far as I know, ISPs only block websites if the federal government mandates it, in which case all ISPs would have to block it.

ArcaneSlime,

Not necessarily, they can block stuff if they want and some don’t like torrenting. Typically they just limit your speeds and send ineffective letters rather than block the site though, so it would still be weird.

Carefully.

dinckelman, do games w Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

Unless it’s an MMO, or something like an online aRPG, the tag “live-service” immediately means that you’re fully expecting to release an unfinished game, collect your preorder money, get backlash for the game being unfinished garbage, and then release a few patches as a “Sorry we got caught” excuse.

The days when you’d buy something, and you would know that is the final version of your software, have been over for a long time

lorty,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Even MMOs tend to be terrible live service games. This mode necessitates a good cadence of content (actual content, not stuff to buy) that most studios seem incapable of doing.

qarbone,

In that scope, cromulent Early Access game seem like the poster child for live service games.

bionicjoey,

The days when you’d buy something, and you would know that is the final version of your software, have been over for a long time

That sounds like a good thing to me. The real problem is that when buying a game, there are no guarantees about how finished it is.

dinckelman,

The point is that when you printed something on a disk, and had 0 capability of pushing patches down the road, you were forced to finish your product. Now it’s not the case, evidently

bionicjoey,

In theory yes, but in reality, plenty of games shipped unpolished in the physical media era.

Rhynoplaz,

You are completely correct

I’ve been playing a bunch of old NES and SNES games, and they all could use a few patches. Many are buggy as hell.

They were still cranking out unfinished trash back then because the cover art and box description was all we had to go by. No refunds on opened games, your money was gone and you had no hope of it ever getting better.

SweetMylk, do piracy w Thinking of getting a retro gaming machine.

“Emulators & ROMs” part of megathread. Think it’s not worth to buy something for the roms when you can donwload them. Why not get something modern like a steamdeck or ayaneo for a true handheld experience?

Thank you! I will check it out.

The main reason is because I dont have 400 bucks (much less 1000) to burn on something nice to have atm. I could absolutely use one of my two beefy computers if need be but I figured I‘d ask what other people do.

SweetMylk,

If you an android phone you can use that too with a cheap bluetooth controller.
