Just got into the pokemon fan game “Pokemon Eclesia” last night, so I’m probably gonna be playing through that demo throughout the week if I don’t get bored of it. Pretty cool game so far, but has a fair bit of swearing.
Otherwise, I was getting back into Gemcraft: Chasing Shadows. Being the idiot I am, I just now found out how to quickly power level. Don’t know how much more if the game is left, let alone how to unlock the higher difficulties, but definitely wanna finish it on the easy difficulty at least once before I die.
This week I played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 which I started a while ago. Compared to the first one which I did not like at all, both story and gameplay are a huge improvement. I actually am interested in the characters now and the combat is pretty fun, altho I still haven’t had a chance to experiment much with it.
I have however a few minor complaints: the blade gacha is a terrible concept and I can’t understand why it was put in the game; on handheld, performance is generally good but the graphics are ruined by a really strong sharpening filter; Pyra’s outfit is dumb and doesn’t fit the character.
I’m also playing Chants of Sennarr and it’s really good! I especially liked the design of the first three languages. The artstye is also really nice.
I’m back to Trails of Cold Steel 2. It is better than the first one. It still feels a bit like padding but it doesn’t feel as pointless. The game structure doesn’t feel as formulaic and repetitive, there’s less quests and it moves much quicker. The characters also finally look different from eachother, as they are no longer in uniform.
The issues tho are still mostly the same: the combat is a downgrade from the Crossbell game (the orbment system in Cold Steel is basically materia from FF7, instead of the much more interesting previous implementation) and I don’t care about any of these characters as they barely have a personality (I blame this on the social link-style mechanics and bloated cast).
Bloons Tower Defense 6. I’m mildly ashamed but it’s easy to pick up and put down when I’m busy. I can’t dedicate large blocks of time for gaming anymore
Zainspirowałaś mnie, abym się przyjrzał bliżej Ghostowi. Dla określonych przez Ciebie potrzeb, wygląda to rzeczywiście najlepiej. UX jest jakby pomiędzy Wordpressem a DokuWiki. Z naszego punktu widzenia - budowy infrastruktury dla społeczności - wyklucza go całkowity brak możliwości tworzenia instancji wieloblogowych.
Przynajmniej na razie pozostaniemy przy Wordpressie.
Nie. Chodzi mi o to, że jeśli chcemy mieć np. pięć blogów pod Wordpressem, to instalujemy Wordpressa raz, z jednym (dużym) zestawem wtyczek, szablonów i czego tam jeszcze, a każda osoba blogująca sobie z nich wybiera i w ograniczonym zakresie konfiguruje własny blog. Bezpieczeństwo, aktualizacje i inne “grube” zarządzanie jest wykonywane z jednej konsoli (patrz obrazek). Największą taką instalacją jest oczywiście wordpress.com.
Z jednej strony oznacza to, że oczywiście kolektyw hostujący łatwo może każdemu pojedynczemu blogowi “wyciągnąć wtyczkę”, ale z drugiej - że stawianie kolejnych blogów oznacza niewielki jedynie przyrost zużycia zasobów serwera - a co najważniejsze pracy zespołu administrującego.
Z Ghostem i innymi “jednomiejscowymi” platformami jest inaczej. Pięć blogów ghostowych, to pięć oddzielnych instalacji, pięć oddzielnych konsol administracyjnych etc., etc.
Any rgg game is a game I buy. It’s dumb but I love them, especially the action ones where you actually fight (versus the more persona combat oriented ones like 7 and 8). This one is not exceptionally good but the boat parts at least add something new. It’s not bad at all (so far, I’m only a few hours in) but tbh if you don’t like these games you won’t suddenly like this one and if you’re new to the series this definitely isn’t the jump in point
Final Fantasy 10 was the last game that fit the ‘traditional’ turn based (active or not) gameplay. Since then there’s been less consistency between iterations.
Final Fantasy 11 and 14 are MMORPGs and are just fundamentally different games as a result. The latest is essentially Devil May Cry gameplay.
A lot of people enjoyed DMC and DMC is not inherently bad, but it may not be what people expect.
But the spinoffs using the Final Fantasy name have always been pretty damn hit or miss. (Compare Mystic Quest to Tactics.) This just now applies to the whole series.
Do you have any local multiplayer racing game recommendations? That’s basically my only use case for a racing game, but most of that market dried up. I’ve got my eyes on a few, but I’m curious what you’ve found, especially if it’s on GOG.
I’m sorry, that’s not really my scene! I haven’t ever played any PC racing games locally (which makes me seem rather sad, doesn’t it?)
I can recommend Mario Kart 8, emulated, for this though! Which might or might not be something you’d consider. Friends and I often play this through my Steam Deck or PC!
Nah, that doesn’t make it sad. It’s just that some of my best memories of racing games come from the likes of Burnout Revenge or F-Zero GX in local multiplayer. Single player is cool. Online is cool. I’m just looking for that local multiplayer fix.
One of the other games that fit that bill is Star Wars: Episode One - Racer, which you can find on GOG. At least on Linux, it requires some mods to fix it, which I made sure were documented on the PC Gaming Wiki, but you can play that one on LAN on PC through the GOG version. I don’t think split-screen on PC games was something they were thinking about back then, but LAN will do in the meantime.
