Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w What would you be interested in out of a modern games focused journalism outlet?

Generally, what you have on the list is what I want to see from a gaming news outlet. I especially like the idea of focusing on older games, mods, niche communities, and that sort of thing. I guess if there was more of something I wanted to see in games journalism it's more in-depth coverage of gaming topics and less rushing to cover the latest AAA release. I'd much rather be reading a long-form article about microtransactions or watching a video essay on the possibility of a video game actor strike than reading about where to find the best ship or weapon in Starfield. Of course, I'm just some random person on the internet, so take that all with a grain of salt.

Kovukono, do gaming w What's the funniest game you've played?

It’s not a very good game, but I laughed my ass off through the Deadpool game. The one that immediately comes to mind though is Bulletstorm. It definitely set the bar for high-brow, sophisticated humor.It’s a shame that People Can Fly chose to go with Outriders, because I’d kill for Bulletstorm 2.

I should say too… not a funny game, but for me, the funniest MOMENT in a game:

rikudou, do piracy w A month of mostly shitty, DRM-protected movies for free
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

Hi there fellow Czech! Where do you usually pirate stuff?

DirtyCNC, (edited )

Ahoj,

uloz.to + FreeRapid Downloader. The baseline speed of around 1.2 GB/h is enough for 720p and some 1080p movies which FreeRapid Downloader allows me to “stream” if I enable opening unfinished files. I can get a film running on my Linux HTPC (old laptop) <3 minutes after my family agrees on one (the hardest part). Our TV is rather small and 768p so resolution is not a concern but I sit close and like to enjoy at least 576p DVD quality.

I have qBittorrent installed but I am in no private trackers (yet). I would especially welcome one that has German dubs because original & Czech ones are easy.

Join us at czech-lemmy.eu!

MigratingApe,

I’ve seen good amount of German dubbed goodies on various IRC XDCC channels (why are they so popular?)

jordanlund, do xbox w Anyone primarly use their xbox series x with a monitor?

Not a monitor, but I run mine through a 7.2 surround sound tuner, then connect the tuner to the television.

Xbox -> HDMI -> Tuner -> HDMI -> Television

brickfrog, do piracy w Any torrent sites with relatively lax sign up/upload rules? Or some place to easily upload torrents

Looks like you can add Ext to the list, according to this post in !piracy they do allow uploading torrents there.

VulcanDeathGrip, do gaming w Starfield and Bethesda Tomfoolery

They set our expectations realistically.

Sharpiemarker, do gaming w Starfield and Bethesda Tomfoolery

It’s a brand new game that has pretty high end system requirements. It’s pretty normal to have to mess with the graphics settings to get new games to run smoothly.

unonessun0centomila, do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

very much like you

Infiltrated_ad8271, do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?
@Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social avatar

I guess so, as it's fine to leave a game in the gog/steam library for a long time, but several games taking up tens or hundreds of GB on disk is a hassle.

On the other hand, I also notice that I have much less commitment, I discard them easily and often without giving them a real chance.

ginerel, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?
@ginerel@kbin.social avatar

Pretty much any game made by Valve. I have a bunch of friends that are really fans of them and I gradually started enjoying them as well.

Nice. That’s one of those games I wish I got into at the same time as my friends. Portal co-op looks like a lot of fun

DrQuint, do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

Statistically, no, but only due to the fact I once pirated every single gameboy color and advance game there.

Even if I did play the majority of notable titles from the advance library too, the numbers are just vastly against me.

Oh sure, if you count the emulator libraries I’ve installed on a retropie in bulk then this number changes, that’s every NES, SNES, N64 and SEGA Mega Drive game ever, but I mean games I specifically sourced. I find if I compare full price individual game purchases versus individually pirated games, the pirated ones still have a better hit rate.
