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.

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

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

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

Zahille7, do gaming w What unusual genre mixing video games would you recommend to try?

I haven’t seen anyone mention Kenshi, so I guess I will.

Kenshi is a post-apocalyptic, RPG, RTS, city-builder hybrid. You can play as one individual character, or you can build up a squad to roam an entire continent full of towns, people, and everything else that wants nothing more than to push your face into the dirt and watch you squirm. It’s an intensely brutal game, but one with an aesthetic that I can’t get enough of.

There are different races of playable characters (from humans, to hivers, to shek, and skeletons) all with their own different stat bonuses and handicaps. If you lose a limb, you can either find someone who sells prosthetics or just leave that character crippled for the rest of the game.

There’s kind of a story, but the game is mostly just you existing in this world and learning about it. There are plenty of different factions you can join or help out, and there will be consequences for choosing a side.

It’s also incredibly moddable, with the steam workshop having thousands of mods already.

Yawnder,

That game doesn’t care if you exist or not. The world will live just the same!

nicman24, do gaming w How to let my kids find quality games on Android? Right now they only find the pay to win / ad riddled games.

get them an offline console

sylverstream,

Yeah, perhaps a better idea. Will do that once the tablet reaches end of life.

There are these little handheld console things you can get online for like $20-50 if you think she’d like older games like classic Nintendo, one of the cheap ones is called data frog SF2000 and it looks like an old SNES controller or this one for something higher quality that can run more consoles powkiddy.com/…/powkiddy-q90-3-inch-ips-screen-han…

They’re a little janky but they get the job done, they’re basically just a tiny weak laptop with emulators built in that you can only play the games on

sylverstream,

That looks cool! I think though it will be a hard sell for them as it will be a step back. However I will be looking into emulators as I think those games are better for them.

I remember it being awesome. Does it still hold up or is it showing it’s age?

sfera,

I played it again a few months ago. IMO it’s still awesome. I should probably play the first part again too.

stardust, do games w Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left?

I’d like to know too. Just me realize I don’t have a go to reviewer or site anymore, but been mainly relying on just user submitted trailers to know about new games and word of mouth when it comes to if I want to buy it.

PrettyLights,

My suggestion for YouTube video reviews currently is ACG. He states that he buys every game he reviews and if the studio sends him a copy for free he gives a copy away to the community out of his own pocket to try and reduce the bias.

He also seems to do a good job of testing on a variety of difficulty levels and platforms.

FlashMobOfOne, do gaming w What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?

Truly open-world Star Wars. Like a Breath of the Wild game except with multiple planets and all the Star Wars stuff.

We had something close to it with SW: Galaxies, but… RIP SW: Galaxies.

Glifted, do games w What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?
  • Heat Signature
  • House of the Dying Sun
  • Thumper
  • Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space
  • Gunpoint
swordsmanluke,

Aww man, I loved Heat Signature and Gunpoint both. They definitely deserve some more love.

Glifted,

Both games are by Tom Francis. His new game Tactical Breach Wizards is ‘coming soon’ as well

ezures,

An another one to add in the defenestration trilogy :D

Maybe I should replay gunpoint sometime

FireTower,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

A lot of the games people have mentioned here are either obscure games I’ve never heard of or newer titles in niche communities. But Gun Point is an obscure game I have actually played, I think they could have picked a better name for it though for a game where most combat isn’t firearms based it’s slightly misleading and probably deterred some people.

0XiDE,

House of the Dying Sun was one of my first oculus rift games and so so good

SheeEttin, do gaming w Anyone feels like almost all modern online games are boring?

Have you considered playing different games?

wallmenis,

I have and I do! In fact, I’ve been trying some old nintendo games (SM64, DKC mostly)… TF2 and TF|2 are ones that I play when comes to online that I enjoy (especially when I stumbled on a VSH lobby after the summer update where people were spamming the vc with memes and sound effects… It was awesome). CS:GO and L4D2 are the games that I mostly enjoy playing when there is company (yes I am the type of person that would preffer playing with a shotgun in Office)… Apex is the game we mostly play but I do it more because of the human interaction rather than because I enjoy it as a game. Oh there is also Halo that I enjoy mostly from the campaigns and the custom games.

While some of Cyberpunk 2077’s issues still linger,

Curious what ComicBook.com means by this.

BeanCounter, do piracy w Youtube - like apps like piped.video, but as Android app?

Newpipe is pretty much rock solid. It’s subjectively better than the Vanced

theoldman, do piracy w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

If you are concerned about privacy, don’t use Plex or any other software which use central servers to collect your data. They can literally see where you click on the screen, let alone what kind of hosting you use. Jellyfin on the other hand is open source and don’t phone home. Also if a software is free, it doesn’t mean it was easy to create it in the first place. So please consider donation or support the project.

Cranksta,

The other option is Emby. It’s based on the same code, and is just another division of the same project. You pay for it, but it gets tons of support and more features as a result. Both projects have pros and cons but I’m leaning further to Emby than Jellyfin myself.

fiat_lux, do piracy w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?

Not necessarily. For example, I know RAR is a bit out of style, but WinRAR just this week had some articles about malware lurking in otherwise non-executable files

There is no such thing as 'safe' user-generated content, only a spectrum of more or less safe content.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Who the actual fuck still uses winrar?

fiat_lux,

Enough people that the dude is still actively supporting and updating it for new OS versions. The RAR is unkillable.

Historical_General,

I only recently stopped using it. And a lot of content on the internet, expecially ones for download use rar part files to split it up and host freely.

FeelzGoodMan420,

You can just use 7zip tho

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,

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

Theoretically it’s not a turnoff: for example, I was fine with paying the subscription for World of Warcraft back in 2007. But in practice I know what it means today, and that means being psychologically manipulated and crit in the wallet, so hell freakin no.

I actually am in favour of government legislation against them since they generally appeal to the young, who are essentially psychologically defenceless against most of the trickery. I don’t quite think they’re “spiritual opium” as the PRC would say, but the line was crossed long ago

platysalty, do games w What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?

The only problem with starting Baldur's Gate 3 now is that it's gonna be a crazy high bar for everything that comes after.

But if you want a great story that's affected by your decisions and character, it's a great place to go.
