Still Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) and Final Fantasy XII (Switch). Loving both still.

Going through all of the Hitman reboot trilogy maps purely to take screenshots. My plan is to have a fat wallpaper folder of all sorts of locations from the trilogy. It's a beaut

Elden ring for now

Replaying Witcher 3 for the xth time. So far only ever played the base game, now I look forward to the dlcs. So far I am mostly rushing through the main quest and am now facing the wild hunt at kaer morhen. Never before reached this state with so few side quests completed 😅.

You’ll love the DLCs. Hearts of Stone is the best story in all of TW3, in my opinion.

kd637_mi,

Hearts of Stone was so good. I think the story being more focused helped compared to Blood and Wine.

I agree. I also think 2 of the 3 endings to B&W are sort of terrible, which soured me on it a little. And the one ending I liked is kind of hidden and obnoxious to get.

B&W was like a nice vacation as Geralt headed into retirement. Pretty landscapes and some fun new skills to play with (loved that you could finally make a crossbow build work).

HoS was just pure, spooky, tragic Witcher goodness. And like you say, the fact that it’s shorter and more focused lead to the writing being tighter and the storytelling working much better.

  • Stillhart,

    Thanks for the tip! Looking into it, I don’t see the game files anywhere, just mods. Do you have to pirate it? I owned it 20 years ago, but I don’t exactly have the CD’s sitting around anymore.

    Seathru,
    YoTcA,

    Nice, this is definitely going on my list. Have not found a space combat game that got close to the level of freelancer. Everspace 2 comes close, but did not have the same spark so far.

    Seathru,

    I’ve been hoping Everspace 2 turns out to be a worthy successor. The first one was fun but didn’t scratch the Freelancer itch. I haven’t played the second yet.

    YoTcA,

    I think it is still worth checking out. I did not have spent much time in the finished game, but played the early access version for a while. Might be more polished an better now. And also back then it came close to the freelancer feeling, just was not quite there yet. Or maybe my memories are just better than the actual game was, they are about 20 years old now 😅

    if you are on android, the tower is pretty good. it has years of stuff to do, and it's still getting more added to it.

    Been playing Melvor Idle, really great one that replicates old school runescape's Skilling experience as an idle game. I also enjoy Impossible Dungeon quite a bit as well, top down auto dungeon crawler where you earn points to upgrade and customize a party for getting as far down a dungeon as you can and competing with other players in tournaments and dailies.

    Poopfeast420,

    Melvor Idle is great. I’ve been playing it for almost two months now and like it, even though I never played Runescape.

    What’s the endorphin rush like for this game? OG RuneScape player, so I know getting the next tool or tree type but not sure how just having a stats screen gives the same kinda feeling?

    A lot of people like Melvor so it must be doing something right :)

    I absolutely was not ready for this game whr I played through it. It was such an emotional journey when it all came to a close

    tenacious_mucus, do gaming w Does anyone else use mouse acceleration? I love it.

    Despite just realizing this is a 2y old post that’s been necroed…like another commenter here, ive never liked how unpredictable mouse accel is, but my experiences are from long ago and originated from joysticks (controller and desktop “flight” types). Now i exclusively use mice with a variable DPS button at my thumb or what some call a “sniper” button. This way i have full control over WHEN, how long and how fast/slow. Ex: Logitech G502, Corsair M65

    maccentric,
    @maccentric@sh.itjust.works avatar

    I have the g502 and the sniper button is just far enough out of my reach that I never use it, even though that’s the reason I bought the mouse in the first place.

    tenacious_mucus,

    The newer model, 502X, has a removable button that you can flip to either move it further or closer. I suppose not every mouse is gonna fit every hand size, tho. I have fairly “normal” sized male hands (glove size L), and the button sits directly under my thumb 🤷

    sixty,

    DNAmaster10, do gaming w Pirating games you own?

    Additionally, many newer games use Denuvo which is known for making your games run slower. Sometimes the pirated copies not only take up less space, but also perform better.

    Pizza Tower is genuinely amazing.

    Cassette Beasts also surprised me in how good it was.

    AnarchistArtificer,

    I enjoyed Cassette Beasts. I was talking to a friend about how remarkable it is that the game simultaneously feels like just a reskin of Pokémon, yet still has its own distinct personality. It’s a difficult balance for any game that’s taking inspiration from such an iconic game series, but it did great

    Surfs_A_Lot, do gaming w What games have you played in the last 365 days that stand out to you as the most memorable experiences?

    Kingdom Come Deliverance. There definitely is a bar to entry with how steep the learning curve is.

    Once past that, it’s probably one of the best immersive RPGs I’ve ever played. Bonus points if you’re a history buff and study European history in the late 1300s.

    That being said, I can say this game isn’t for everyone

    bermuda, do gaming w Modern "Arcady" Tactical Shooter

    If you liked splinter cell I’d definitely recommend taking a look at the new deus ex titles. They’re more of immersive sim games but they have tactical shooter and stealth elements just like splinter cell

    rmstyle,

    I loved those too!

    bermuda,

    Hmm then I suppose you can try hotline miami? It’s very arcadey but the levels are challenging enough that you do need to think about strategy and tactics for getting around the difficulty. It is 2D top-down though

    bermuda, do gaming w What games have you played in the last 365 days that stand out to you as the most memorable experiences?

    I think the number one was DUSK. I initially put it off as just another boomer shooter trying to “ride the wave” of the trend, but after giving it some time to get past the first few levels, it really is more than that. It’s sort of a combination of the “badass” gameplay of Doom but with a horror story and atmosphere. There were truly some terrifying moments in the game, and a lot of the levels a pretty nightmare-fuel. The low-poly aesthetic sort of turns this up a notch in a way.

    It has this very refreshing gameplay loop where part (or multiple parts) of a level will be a typical boomer shooter focus on gunning down hordes of enemies or even a boss fight, while in the meantime you’re navigating a labyrinthine environment with some pretty terrifying imagery. A lot of the story is implied during the levels and then explained in between levels through text, so the player is really left guessing for a lot of the game, and the story opens up far more than one could ever expect.

    A lot of people may go into DUSK expecting Doom or Quake or even a more modern game like UltraKill, but I think it’s a lot more than those three combined.

    Do you have a guide or something to reference to setup EFT Single Player as you’ve described? I haven’t played in a long time (last time was right around when the first versions of the SP mod was made public) because I got fed up with the online experience. I’d love to jump back in to SP eventually to see what’s changed, I definitely miss the EFT gameplay.

    John_Coomsumer,

    Its actually really easy to set up.

    -install the bsg launcher, update, install the base game

    use this, following its instructions >

    hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/…/672-spt-aki-installer/

    IF there is a version mismatch with live, which happens, this is a really easy patcher that downgrades hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/204-aki-patcher/


    thats it, really easy. As for the mods and changes ive listed, here

    KMC server value tool. read instructions, you have to run it first to make it work right. This is the main tool for tweaking the games settings, and there are a lot of options. Be sure to make your own profile and save and load it, its a bit of a weird set up. Here are my current settings.

    pixelfed.social/p/BDBoris/593146651199822769

    If a tab isnt shown then i probably havent changed anything in it.

    hub.sp-tarkov.com/…/379-kmc-server-value-modifier…


    Amands graphics, unfucks the game visually. defog, makes it less grey. hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/…/813-amands-s-graphics/


    More checkmarks. gives you way more on the fly info about what items you need, what they barter for, etc. hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/…/1159-morecheckmarks/


    SAIN, AI rework. Has two dependencies, be sure to get them. This is my prefered AI option, there are others but this one makes the most sense with the least problems imo. hub.sp-tarkov.com/…/1062-sain-2-0-solarint-s-ai-m…


    Amands hitmarkers. nice to have, not necessary at all, but i like it for the immediate feedback. hub.sp-tarkov.com/…/798-amands-s-hitmarker/


    Visceral dismemberment. Really over the top and gross but fun. hub.sp-tarkov.com/…/1092-visceral-dismemberment/


    ammo stats in description. shows you what the actual fuck ammo is without sitting on eft monster or wiki. color coded too. hub.sp-tarkov.com/…/284-ammo-stats-in-description…

    charles,

    Thank you so much for the detailed guide. I finally got around to finishing the setup yesterday but only had time for a very short raid to test everything out. Definitely looking forward to playing around some more, seems like nearly all my annoyances with Tarkov are mitigated by the various mods you listed (especially KMC). I understand why it’s impossible but private coop would really make this perfect.

    John_Coomsumer,

    Have fun! it really does fix such a ridiculous amount of annoyances. I agree that making private co-op and running the server itself on another computer are the two things i want most from it, both of those may be possible with little work but AKI has to be very careful to avoid any ire from BSG
