Artemis, do games w What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2…the exploration of the wilds while so vulnerable in the first game is something I’ll never get bored of while the second game just takes it to a whole other level with your power growing so immense. They still totally hold up with the extended editions!

Those games are so littered with trash mobs that I definitely didn’t have the stamina for 100%.

100,

i would recommend anyone playing them to use the teleport cheat to skip the slow map movement and backtracking

saves several hours in a playthrough easily

thorisalaptop, (edited ) do games w Is mafia 3 really that bad?

Unpopular opinion but I preferred Mafia 3 over 2. I don’t think any of them are great games, just solid ones.

Mafia 2’s story is good, but the game started to feel pretty repetitive for me quickly. “Get in car, drive somewhere listening to a conversation to move the story forward, shoot some people, repeat until game is over.”

Mafia 3 also feels repetitive, and can definitely start to feel grindy. But I think the main missions are better designed than 2, and the combat overall also feels better and more fun. So it’s a trade off: it’s an open world game so it’s got more filler to make it longer, but when it’s good it’s better than its predecessor (IMHO).

Toneswirly, do games w Is mafia 3 really that bad?

Its boring in long stretches. The story has decent hooks but the characters are a bit too cartoony and flat. Kind of a forgetable experience.

Sina, do gaming w Wireless mouse with silent switches recommendation

You could buy any Asus gaming mouse with user replaceable switches and order a bag of Huano silent switches from AE. (if the noise increases or the switch dies just replace the switc+h)

This is not a cheap option, but could potentially endure for a longer time.

otp, do games w A long time ago, a obscure buggy VR game unintentionally terrified me more than expected.

How does one "almost get PTSD? Was it Acute Stress Disorder?

memeflicks,

Oh shoot, not really. None of those, in fact. I wasn’t really thinking when using the term in the title and was so used to all the memey usage of it.

otp,

Cheers. I’m very much against the “memification” of psychological disorders. Another commonly “memed” one is OCD. If you look up what those actually are all about, you’ll see a major gap between the meme version and the real version.

Which is normally fine for most things, until someone says they have PTSD or OCD and the average person thinks “Oh lol it’s no big deal, I have that sometimes too!”

tias, (edited ) do gaming w Best client for mc?(is this the right community for this the minecraft lemmy.world one is semi dead but not fully but releated)

Haven’t tried all the ones mentioned here but I installed the modrinth app and can’t really complain about anything so I haven’t looked further. Easy to search mods and install them, it deals with all the dependencies, updates automatically, etc. It looks nice and doesn’t get in your way.

strawberry, do gaming w Best client for mc?(is this the right community for this the minecraft lemmy.world one is semi dead but not fully but releated)

I like mulimc. super easy to manage mods (I use a performance boosting modpack that has like 25 mods in it) so it automatically keeps that up to date

also the official launcher had issues with my VPN where if it was connected it wouldn't load my skin and I couldn't even split tunnel it, multimc doesn't have that issue

Etterra, do astronomy w Size Comparison: Pluto and Australia

That’s awesome. And to think, it’s only slightly less inhospitable in Australia!

Smokeydope, (edited ) do gaming w Gamers Above 30, What Older Games Would You Still Recommend to Younger Gamers?
@Smokeydope@lemmy.world avatar

If Little Big Planet for the PS3 and PS4 ever get a proper sequel or remaster, or the Restitched developers ever actually put out that spiritual successor it would be a no-brainer. It was a magical game series for me that was not only very fun to play but also inspired creative and logical thinking with the intricate community level maker tools built into the game. Especially LBP2 with its logic gate and microchip implementations. When I took real engineering classes I was familiar with many high level concepts just because I screwed around with them in a video game as a child. Crazy.

It was also a very cute and well done aesthetic. The gorgeous background enviroments and the little sack boy character you play as. The vibrant collection of music. It was very unique.

The Alice Springs Pluto Observatory has opened considerably under-budget.

Wilzax,

Use a profile link, not a quick link. They don’t resolve to your profile the same way.

Friend codes are also multi-use.

174156043 or steamcommunity.com/id/Wilzax/, but not s.team/p/pjc-jnbq/drrtjgmh

Adelphius,

Understood thanks. Saw a lot of people using the quick links so I thought it was fine.

INHALE_VEGETABLES, do gaming w What's your favourite and/or least favourite gaming hardware?

Virtual boy fits in both best and worst 👍

sleepybisexual,

O see the worst but how is it the best?

INHALE_VEGETABLES,

At the time it blew my mind.

Fubarberry, do gaming w What's your favourite and/or least favourite gaming hardware?
@Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz avatar

Favorite: Steam Deck, it’s my favorite piece of gaming hardware I’ve ever owned. The controls are fantastic, it’s now frustrating to use other controllers that don’t have back paddles, gyro, or track pads.

Least favorite: cheap off-brand controllers, with bad tactile buttons, sticking buttons, analog sticks that drift, analog sticks that only register 8 directions, etc.

Also, Wii U. I have some mixed feelings on it because I have some good memories with the system, but the hardware never paid off. Their were almost no games that made use of the gamepad screen in a way that wasn’t just a gimmick, generally the only real advantages of it were being able to play on a handheld screen while the TV was being used (a feat that the switch and steam deck so far better) and being able to have split screen multiplayer where the players can’t see each other’s screen (limited because you only have 1 game pad, and the deck struggles to do two different rendered screens for many games, with games like Hyrule warriors having to cut the enemies in half when doing split screen).

Favorite:

  • Nintendo DSi - The DS just had such an incredible library, with tons of unique titles you could never experience elsewhere. Though the sad thing about how unique it was is that... you can't properly experience a lot of these titles elsewhere. Emulation just isn't the same. While it came out very late and wasn't worth upgrading to if you already owned an earlier model, the DSi was a very nice and sleek evolution on the hardware. Much more softmod-friendly too.
  • Miyoo Mini Plus - Bought this last year on sale as an impulse buy. Ended up liking it so much I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. My ultimate dream is to someday get something that runs SteamOS in this form factor.
  • My custom built fightstick - Put this together last year to replace my old Hori RAP4. Really happy with how it turned out! Love the GP2040-CE, I used to have to go through an adapter to use the HRAP4 on Switch and I can feel the difference not having that added latency anymore.

Hard for me to name least favorites, because I haven't owned a system I actively disliked, and I don't wanna just say CD-i or N-Gage or whatever. But I guess I'll list ones that I have mixed feelings on:

  • Wii - The Wii had a few great games. It also had a lot of duds. The saddest thing about it is how many games had to shoehorn waggle gimmicks in, and how few of them actually did it well.
  • Steam Deck - As a Linux nerd that wants to see the platform grow, I love that the Steam Deck exists. It's arguably the most important thing that has happened to Linux gaming. It just isn't for me at all. It's too big to be a handheld, I grew up on a Game Boy Color and I still love curling up with handhelds in bed, but this doesn't feel cozy to play with at all. I do occasionally use it + dock as a portable setup I can take to FGC events, or when I have guests I'll sometimes hook it up to the TV for Jackbox, but it mostly gathers dust the rest of the time.
  • Switch - Great library, and the hybrid form clearly worked out for Nintendo just because they don't have to divide their output between two platforms. But like the Deck, it's not what I want in a handheld, mine doesn't leave the dock. It's also rather frustrating how many bad ports the system got, I wish developers would simply stop trying to port games it clearly can't handle - especially when there are plenty of older titles in their back catalog that I'm sure could have good ports but get overlooked. And don't get me started on JoyCons!
