reddfugee, do games w Are there any recent-ish single player, complete games that are similar to Rise of Nations and would work on Mac or at least on WINE?

Maybe 9 Bit Armies? I feel it’s more similar to C&C than RoN, but I loved the heck out of RoN back in the day and 9BA is pretty fun. The battleships are a hoot, they hit really hard and have range for days, which combines well with the destructible bridges.

Edit: Whoops, did not read closely enough to see you’re on a Mac. 9BA might work, this person seems to have had luck reddit.com/…/how_to_play_9bit_armies_on_macos/?rd…

There isn’t a historical element in 9BA but you do get air & naval units

AceFuzzLord, do gaming w TIL Stein Gate is also a game

I have a copy of the full Steins;Gate manga that I admit to not having read yet. I’ve seen the anime (movies(OVAs?) not included), alongside Zero. And I found something a long time ago that would allow me to download the app on my android device and play in English (not sure there was an official option for that back then or even now). Now I am absolutely thinking of getting back into visual novels of that style (the left click only gameplay style) and Steins;Gate is on my list. This also reminds me I need to finish Saya no Uta.

Really been enjoying Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds. I haven’t found a TBS RPG that captured my interest for a long time, and this combines a lot of the things I like from Divinity: Original Sin (like elemental effects with the environment, and talking to animals), with nice pixel graphics and very classic DnD game feel. It reminds me of Icewind Dale, vibe-wise.

Only just started the new Diablo 4 expansion, because I was sick the whole week. I’m still early in the campaign, playing the new Spiritborn.

I haven't had much time to game any this week, but I have been working on what I have left for Diablo 3: Season 32 during down time. I'm not confident that I'll complete it in the next week when the season ends, but that's ok.

I'm really eager to start Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred, but I think I'm going to work on Season 6 first this next week.

Arkhive, do games w My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them

I finally kicked my Destiny 2 habit by installing Linux, and while I absolutely miss the gameplay and my team, I haven’t really looked back. I’m involved and interested in so many other things now. I still see the odd post that gives ma a pang of FOMO, but the thought of booting into my windows install makes me want to peel my skin off with tweezers.

Not an MMORPG by any means, but I’ve been really enjoying a “Minecraft like” called Vintage Story that is giving me the same feeling. The commodification of Minecraft has finally frustrated me enough and I’m jumping ship.

Dyson Sphere Project, even without the multiplayer mod you are “connected” to the rest of the player base with the Galaxy View.

Factorio, and Satisfactory scratch a similar itch, but on smaller scales. IIRC, both of those games have multiplayer built in.

Except for like 3 helm pieces which they released like 15 years ago and have since made available through others means, there’s literally nothing beyond a few mounts and pets. So your whole “mounts, cosmetics, miscellaneous” thing is very misleading. Other than that, I agree with you and I’m glad you’ve managed to get away. Kudos.

Edit: seems I missed a few of sets that they released in the last 4 years. 5 of them to be precise. And a pair of wings and a helm piece. Some of which were given for free to subscribers before being put on the store.

    I checked the site before posting just to make sure because I didn’t wanna post BS, but it seems I missed a couple of things. I apologize, they also released 6 cosmetic sets in the last 4 years, an extra helm and a pair of wings. Some of which they simply gave for free to subscribers before putting on the store.

    That’s still less than you’re making it sound. Definitely not one every month. Again, not defending them or disagreeing with you, I just don’t like it when people make things sound worse than they are to get people to agree with them.

    Also, that transmig restriction bit is also a lie. There’s quite a few cosmetics that are armor class agnostic. I know because I have them and I’ve never spent a dime in the store. Here is a list of most of them.

    Randomgal,

    I’d you don’t have a job, and can play 12 hours a day to farm that gear. Great! Enjoy school life. But adults don’t have time to farm all that shit, purchasing is effectively the only way to get it. It is disingenuous to conflate "being obtainable ’ with “no need to ever purchase”.

    nyctre,

    There’s a list of 2000 pieces. And only 5 sets that you can buy. Also every month you get free trader’s tender for simply logging in. You use that to buy those pieces. If you do a few world quests you get even more. I literally cap out on the monthly 1k tender by playing a few hours. Why are you people being so negative for no reason.

    There’s plenty of things to hate. There’s plenty of things even blizzard are guilty of. Look at overwatch for thousdands of reasons. But wow is one of the games that’s most respectful of your time. Nowadays and as far as MMOs go, that is. I literally have a 4 piece set without ever stepping foot in a normal raid. Only did LFR once, got 1 piece. The other 3 were given for free. You get so much shit in this game by simply logging in and playing a couple of hours it’s insane.

    If you want the entire transmog collection the game has to offer, that’s been released over the course od 20 years, yes, you have to grind. But let’s not pretend you need to play a lot to have some nice sets. That hasn’t been true in a long time.

    Randomgal,

    The length of your explanation should make you realize why paying is easier. Hell, I’d pay not to read your explanation.

    nyctre,

    Play the game for a few hours or pay. Yeah, complicated. You sound like you have too much disposable income if you’re so willing to pay for stuff… also, some of us enjoy playing games and don’t mind doing it.

    Randomgal,

    I sound like I play free to plays bro lol If you’re paying to play it’s because you want to.

    nyctre,

    Nah, if you actually played free to play games then you’d know that wow’s mtx store is a baby compared to most games such as overwatch, lol, dota, cs, valorant, PoE, Warframe, etc. and you wouldn’t be arguing with me over calling out a person for exaggerating over 6 released armor sets in the span of 4 years.

    Randomgal,

    Thank for telling me about my life bro. You’re surely smart.

    nyctre,

    Two personal insults in two different comments, that’s also a mark of an intelligent argument.

    Randomgal,

    I’m glad you’re aware of your limitations.

    nyctre,

    Oooh, a “NO YOU!” response! Amazing, you’re 3/4. Keep going, please.

    Randomgal,

    No u.

    @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Every time I lose in online 1v1 games. I have Rejection sensitivity dysphoria and it’s probably what’s making me extremely salty on loss. I literally cannon bring myself to say ‘gg’ in most cases but I I’m mostly angry at myself. I avoid saying ‘gg’ only when I win either as I feel like like a hypocrite.

    Funnily enough, this doesn’t affect me in boardgames

    PieMePlenty,

    Not saying ‘good game’ when the game wasnt good is weird? I say it if I actually enjoyed the game. Win or lose.
