HellAwaits, do gaming w I don't want to "Press any key to continue" to the main menu

Such not a big deal IMO

Navarian, do gaming w How much 5e do you have to know to enjoy Balders Gate 3?

There is a considerable amount of depth to the game, but it’s not insurmountable for anyone. You’ll have no problem going through the game if you read through tool tips and help pop-ups as they arise. DnD knowledge needed is none at all or negligible at best.

If you do end up playing, I hope you enjoy!

Skies5394, do gaming w What incremental games do you enjoy?

Trimps. I’m hopelessly addicted.

Stillhart,

Damn you…

I pirate Switch games that I already own on Steam because double dipping is stupid.

7gb inflated to nearly 40gb. That’s absolutely absurd holy crap

TacoEvent, do gaming w What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

MUDs. Text based (generally RPG) games with incredibly immersive story telling, near infinite levels of character customization, and many even feature ways for players to build on the world itself.

I’m surprised it’s not more popular amongst D&D enthusiasts.

In its hey day, people spent thousands of dollars just to boost their characters on massive for-profit MUDs like those created by Iron Realms. But smaller MUDs like Ancient Anguish were just as quality.

Sadly they’re going extinct. Only a few MUDs are still actively maintained.

Skedaddle,

I started reading Mort (Terry Pratchett) and it reminded me of the Discworld MUD I played with my friends in the 90s, on dial-up, all crowded around a single 13" CRT. I looked it up, and it’s still running!

TacoEvent,

That’s awesome! I’ve noticed it on lists of top voted MUDs for a long time, but never quite got into that particularly flavor.

Stache_,

Huh, that must be where the original name for Runescape (DeviousMUD) came from. Didn’t know it was a whole genre of games

Stache_,

Granted it’s not text based, so I could definitely be wrong.

TacoEvent,

Whoa that’s a nice piece of trivia. Did some googling and it definitely has roots in MUDs, but Andrew obviously had higher ambitions visually. That’s cool.

bermuda, do gaming w Alternate ways of playing games

Playing GTA by following all traffic laws. There are even mods for turn signals and realistic traffic flows for GTA 5

tombuben, do gaming w What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

I’d love for something like a watchmaker simulator to exist. You’d get broken watches, and you’d be tasked to take them apart, clean them and fix them up. Basically, something very similar to those almost ASMR videos on youtube where someone restores those completely broken things into a pristine state.

Piers,

That’s actually both very doable and marketable.

Ecksell, do gaming w Working parents, how do you find time to game?
@Ecksell@lemmy.one avatar

Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Instant pause/resume is invaluable.

minutnudler,

My son is 11 months, and if I didn’t have my steam deck I would probably not be gaming at all right now :) That instant off/resume is absolutely amazing.

@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

I picked up a Switch thinking it would always be attracted to my TV. Maybe it was for a bit, but when my child came along the only way I used it was handheld and for spurts at a time.

That’s how I knew the Steam Deck was an instant buy for me - the pause/resume is key.

scribblemacher,

This 100%. The only games I’ve managed to finish in the past ten years are on Switch or a portable system.

steltek,

It’s mindblowing how smooth (and fast!) suspend/resume is on the Steam Deck.

  • GiantBasil,

    That’s… incredible actually. Every new bit I learn about Dwarf Fortress is genuinely fantastic.

    Otome-chan, do gaming w Stray really disappointed me. I want a real cat game.

    You should try playing Cattails which is basically exactly that. You play as a stray cat living a regular cat life. You can hunt, socialize with other cats (some are nice, some not), etc. No humans, just cats. The start of the game you get abandoned by humans I think?

    Blackthorn,

    I second this game. The cat can also find a mate abd have kittens

    Evergreen5970,

    You’re correct about the start of the game. They’re also planning a sequel!

    Sharmat, do gaming w are there small sized mmorpg's?

    Lord of the Rings Online is about 26Gb.

    Star Trek Online is also roughly at the same ballpark as LOTRO.

    Guild Wars 1 is about 5Gb.

    Secret World Legends also this one, about 10Gb.

    They are all decent, and fun to play if they’re your jam, some are more pay-to-win than others, like Star Trek Online. Some are a bit on the older side, like Guild Wars 1 being from 2005 though.

    Grimpen,

    Used to play Guild War 1, got back into it for a while around 10 years ago. I should still have my original login somewhere…

    Bbbbbbbbbbb, do games w What's your favorite controller?

    Generally speaking, any xbox one or later generation controller. Theyre all relatively the same.

    Real shit though, Xbox The Duke is my favorite

    i miss the black and white buttons from the mini xbox controller days. still feel like 4 buttons is not enough on the right pad, especially considering how often games use L3/R3 joystick click which i fucking loathe.

    Die4Ever,

    The Duke was so good!

    Goronmon,

    It’s been funny seeing the Playstation controller slowly morph into an Xbox controller. Which is great because I definitely preferred the Xbox controller since the 360.

    I still prefer the offset sticks on the Xbox controller though.

    RememberTheApollo_, do games w RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it

    A lot of the gaming subs on Reddit suck. Especially /gaming, but not all of them. They’re full of industry shills and “git gud kid” types, and don’t you dare criticize anything the hive mind is softballing like a gaming magazine review.

    EatATaco,

    Wait, is this is a joke? While I agree there is a lot of “get gud,” the bulk of the rest of it is dumb memes, and beyond that it’s people whining about every little thing. The whiners far out number any shills.

    NocturnalMorning, do games w Anyone else feels like rdr2 have no bad missions?

    Haha, currently playing rdr2 again right now. There are plenty of terrible missions in the game. Depending on if you’re talking regular missions or story missions, some of the story missions where you shoot up the whole damn town are stupid, and then you just go pay a bounty and it’s all okay. But, you can’t enter Blackwater under any circumstances or tye calvary comes in and shoots you up, dead within 10 seconds of stepping foot there.

    Lots of essentially fetch quests, especially the ones where you go shake down people for loan money for strauss.

    There are missions you can fail for venturing too far away from people, but you’re never told that until you’re too far away already. This is just what I could think of off the top of my head.
