Slappula, do gaming w Some good sites/pages to read news about gaming?

www.bluesnews.com

Blue’s News has been around for a long time. I’ve always found that it provides good, general video game coverage.

It looks great! I love when the websites give you the link of their RSS in your face. I know that many sites is simply add “/rss” or “/feed” at the end of their URL but it seems to me that it have become a trend that the websites hide their feed url.

Just gonna say that their RSS feed is kind of wack at least on my readers, I can’t read the articles through my apps, only the headlines and the first couple article lines.

External battery pack for thunderbolt

you’ll need to make sure its a pack that can deliver the required wattage

A 100W one should be able to power it for lighter tasks, right? Won’t be gaming on the power bank.

breadsmasher,
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t mean capacity, but having the required power delivery to even charge in the first place

This might be a bad estimate but the laptop needs 280W but this random list for example only goes to 100W

I have a PC that comes with a 300w charger. I can charge off a 100w GaN charger so long as my power profile is on battery saver. I’d expect the same for OP.

no man’s sky VR lately! I love the feeling of flying in starships and the seamless transitions between planets and space! wish it had some form of starship racing.

Been playing Skyrim and Control. Also, playing Baldurs Gate 1 on Switch from time to time.

Controls quite fun ngl I got it for free as part of the epic games promotion I’ve played it a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed it never got round to completing the campaign sadly I think I got to the maintenance area before having to call it quits

dbtonez, do games w Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of October, 9, 2023

fell back into The Division 2 and started Vermintide 2. always playing Diablo 2. playing Baldur’s Gate with a friend once a week. trying to get myself to go back to ARMORED CORE, but i just keep getting my buns handed back to me XD

bappity,
@bappity@lemmy.world avatar

have been meaning to get into baldurs gate! I’ve got 4 other friends that I played DnD with a while back and it was hilarious. from what I’ve seen of it BG3 would be amazing to play as a group

dbtonez,

i’d highly recommend it. it’s still a lot of fun solo, but playing it with my friend has been a treat. sometimes we make a decision for the laughs, other times we get into semi-serious debates about what to do, where to go… and it’s fun seeing how different our co-op playthrough is from our solo playthroughs.

Trepang^2^ - Absolute FPS gem

Starfield - Hated it

Brotato - Casual quick game

Dorfromantic - Chill casual quick game

ShitOnABrick, (edited )
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never tried brotato may give it ago although vampire survivors may be up your valley its in the same genre I’ve been playing a couple rounds every so often on my phone

random_character_a,
@random_character_a@lemmy.world avatar

Vampire survivors is in my library and liked it too, but I prefered Brotato. More variation, your selection matter more and no 360 weapons you can overpower.

Diablo 3 caught my attention again recently with the new and probably last season. Pretty mindless most of the time but it’s therapeutic in a way

Finished Terraria for the first time since I got some 10 years ago. Now I’m replaying Grim Dawn, excited for the new expansion pack.

bl4ckblooc, do games w What games have you been playing recently

I’m playing lots of different games lately; I’m in a contest for achievement hunting and it requires me to earn varying achievements. Lately it’s been Madden 23, Vampire Survivors, Hitman 2, Spyro Remastered trilogy and Walking Dead New Frontier.

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

It’s been a while since I’ve done achievement hunting myself I 100% watch dogs 2 and legion good luck hop ya catch erm all

bl4ckblooc,

Thanks. I’ve gotta go back and finish all those RDR2 gold medals one day too…

Risk of Rain 2, such an underrated game. It’s been eating up all my free time lately.

Absolute banger once you get a hang of it.

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never heard of risk of rain is it any good? Might check it out

DichotoDeezNutz,
@DichotoDeezNutz@lemmy.world avatar

Its good, but I had to download mods to learn what the items were and what they did. Take a look at R2ModMan

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

Alright ty I’ll make sure to look into it one day

Baldurs’s Gate 3. I’m in 70 hours and I love IT so far

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

I really wanna try Baldurs gate myself might get it on steam sale prehaps two games I really wouldn’t mind trying are baldurs gate and disco elysium

drz,

Both are amazing RPGs. Highly recommend checking them out.

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

Might check them out then I’ll probably look at getting them at the Christmas steam sale I almost certainly want to check out disco elysium

rainy,

I was told at some point to pirate disco elysium because the original devs got removed from making royalties on any sales prior to the release of the game. Does anyone know if this is a credible statement?

violetraven,
@violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I can’t find anything from the devs stating that either.

FluffyPotato,

Yea, basically what happened was some crooked businessman took over their company by some very fucked up methods, ousted the people who made the game and stole their IP. This is the most justified case of piracy is good.

Poggervania,
@Poggervania@kbin.social avatar

Bear in mind, BG3 is more much like your typical cRPG while Disco Elysium is more akin to Planescape: Torment but without combat.

Both are extremely well-written, and I would say Disco Elysium is arguably one of the best written games period, but don’t go into DE expecting a whole lot of combat - it’s much more like a visual novel than a cRPG.

antaymonkey,

You just made DE a whole lot more appealing to me.

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

De sounds awesome I would love another well written game like rdr2 to sink my teeth into and get tons of hours out of and this sounds like that sorta game

CoderKat,

I’m doing an evil playthrough now and finding various things I missed from the first playthrough. But oof, I feel really awful about the horrible things the game lets you do. 😅

jsdz, do gaming w Finally went with Acer Nitro 5

I’ve got an older Nitro 5 which has served me well the past 4 years. Build quality is great compared to most other laptops I’ve had. Mine has no problem running Linux.

TerrS,

@jsdz @Darth_Vader__ Does it run Doom?

jsdz,

It’s generally okay with the big games of 2020, so probably.

Darth_Vader__,
@Darth_Vader__@lemmy.world avatar

Mine should have a 3070ti so ut should have no excuse for NOT running DOOM.

GaimDS, do games w What games have you been playing recently
@GaimDS@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly, I started replaying Skyrim to see if I can actually finish the damn thing lol

Alimentar,

Oh man every so often I boot it up with fresh mods! I love that game so much.

I remember when it launched, I never heard of it, didn’t see any promotional material and just bought it out of curiosity. Was an incredible surprise and put so much hours into it

Globulart,

I was a huge fan of oblivion and I remember staying up into the early hours at uni waiting for the crack to be released. I put 16 hours in on the first day and never really looked back.

Currently wrestling with whether or not I can justify spending £800 on my pc to play starfield…

Alimentar,

Eh, Ive got a 1080 ti and starfield runs terribly. I’m averaging 24 to 30 fps regardless if it’s high or low settings. So maybe wait. Not sure what you’re thinking to buy but starfield has pretty poor optimisation and if it’s a minor bump I’m not sure you’ll see much gain.

Globulart,

My graphics card isn’t horrible actually to be fair. I’ve got an RTX 2070 but it’s on a 10 year old AM3 motherboard with DDR3 in it so it’s time to replace cpu/mobo/ram.

At the moment it’s not playable for me, I forced myself to play the first few hours but speech visual lags behind the audio and I’m stuck waiting for 10seconds with every sentence. I know loading screens aren’t great for anyone but a solid minute for each screen wasn’t doable either.
