TheAlbatross, do gaming w A message from the medic

Based on the author, the bi pride flag pie chart, and the community logo, I thought this was post was about gay dating and, while a little baffling, I cordially invite you all to share my misinterpretation and think about telling your partner “I can’t heal you through walls”

Droechai,

A sentence true both in WoW as in the bedroom. Just as "dont stand in fire" and "MORE WHELPS"

Klear,

TIME'S UP! LET'S DO THIS!

I will die on the hill that says Fallout New Vegas is the best goddamn Fallout game to exist and to ever exist

vaultdweller013,

Yeah I agree Fallout 2 is nominally better.

ritten,

Sorry I should have clarified, Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout game AFTER Bethesda bought out Black Isle Studios. Devs from Black Isle helped on NV thats why it was so good!

If I had all that money in the world I would buy the rights to Friends and New Vegas and send Pinkerton agents after anyone who held an unauthorized copy. I’d then burn every single fucking one of them.

Luckily I do not have the money so the game continues to exist and I just sit in the corner, never opening my mouth because most people would try to kill me the second they I say that New Vegas bored me worse than Twilight.

ritten,

I mean I wouldn’t kill you if it bored you it bored you! That’s fair game, not everyone is going to like the same shit and if anyone’s gets anymore than the tiny bit heated for you saying New Vegas is boring then they need to come off the internet. The internet, should be about expressing opinions and free speech, while others propose an agreement or disagreement but only in a manner of conversation. Never in a manner of ‘I’m better than you’ or ‘you must be stupid because I don’t agree with you’. So all in all, I love New Vegas, but if you dont that’s fine. Plus the first part made me laugh for the first time today so go you!

Said to a buddy the other day that New Vegas is my least favorite game and his instant response was “We can’t be friends anymore”. Had the same convo with someone else yesterday too and the same response.

Like NV is fine. I have no issue with the game itself, there’s nothing wrong with it, its just not my thing. I liked Fallout 3 and 4 because I like sorting through the ruins of civilization and putting together the pieces of what happened. But New Vegas is settlements and civilizations and factions and conversations as far as the eye can see. Fallout 76 was too balanced towards having nothing in it and Fallout New Vegas was balanced towards having too much for me. And it’s not like I didn’t play NV. I got a couple hundred hours in it and have done my fair share of fuckery. I’ve been beaten by the old ladies with rolling pins (THAT, I fully admit, got me hard) I’ve exploded a motel ladies head from a dude inside of a dinosaur, I went to far off casinos but meh.

Also, and I will die on this hill specifically, Fallout 3 had a better musical selection than New Vegas did. At least for me. 95% of the GNR music I can bop along to but I’m constantly changing stations in NV to escape westerns.

ritten,

See I can totally respect and understand you!

It frustrates me when people form an opinion based on zero experience. How would they know they do or not like it if they haven’t tried? But you have and you’ve gave it a fair whack by the sounds of it. And I totally get the overwhelming sensation NV can give you, after hundreds of hours I know the feeling. Fallout 3 was special for me as its the first one I played and I really enjoyed it, I felt NV did a better job, for me though. However 4, I think is a different ballpark because it skips a lot of the core elements of both of those games a wittles it down to be able to suit a more, easiest way to say it, ‘dumbed down audience’ and I think it was marketed wrong. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it but I had 1000x more fun in 4 when I didn’t follow any quest or map markers or storylines. I got out the vault and just went a explored and I treated it as I was roleplaying ad an explorer. I see a building, I think oh I’ll go look at that that looks cool. And I enjoyed it so much more cause I played it without stress of the storyline but I enjoyed just searching around and seeing what I could find and there were so many parts I hadn’t explored before! In that aspect, from an exploration point of view, I really enjoyed 4.

Also the old ladies and the roling pins, you ain’t alone…awful that I know exactly what you mean haha

Also massive preach, NV has nothing on the F3 & F4 soundtracks. And 76, I played an hour or two so I can’t really comment.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

I’m just laughing over the downvotes. See exactly what I mean? People cannot handle a differing opinion. I said nothing about NV being objectively worse, just why I don’t like it but nah. Not good enough. How fragile and insecure some people are would be truly side-splittingly hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

I prefer 3 and 4 to NV any day of the week but… 4? It’s a worse game than any of the others by every margin. How I do play it is exactly how you described. I go and explore. There’s a lot less overall civilization and basically the same thing as 3 when it came to hyper simple factions. But my focus is always that exploration. It’s why I like Oblivion and Skyrim too. That same feel of wonder and awe of getting to explore something and not knowing what treasures or terrors you may find.

76 I played a very very small amount because I just don’t dig MMORPGs in general. Feels like my impact doesn’t change the world as much as you see it in single players. Can’t say much in the run of music or anything else there either. But I did like being able to wander around and find new things when I was first playing it.

And the music… yeah. Bingo bango bingo he don’t wanna leave the congo oh no no no no nooooooooooooooooooooo

ritten,

Mental…people are just wet wipes but hey ho. Everyone’s entitled to whatever opinion they want, being able to communicate effectively and understand other opinions though is the kicker.

Oblivion and Skyrim are my G’s! I’ve spent so many hours on them and its exactly how I play them! Especially Skyrim, the wow factor does die after a while but I lowkey roleplay it sometimes and just go for a wander or a walk through an unknown fantasy universe wondering what’s beyond the corner. It makes it 10x more interesting and its how I think they should have marketed Fallout 4. 10x better as a exploration game than a RPG.

Maybe one day I’ll try 76, just to explore a new environment created by Bethesda but its not at the top of my list, same as ESO. Gave that up straight away. Ahhh yes the musiccc, brings me back

toomanypancakes,

Not yet, they're on my list to try at some point though

Whostosay,

They’re awesome, I think you’ll like it a lot based on your list

xyguy, do gaming w This happened to me in Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims.

I had a rule where I wasnt allowed to use a gameshark until I had already beaten the story mode.

So I guess the analogy there would be learn how to do the thing the old fashioned way and then only use AI as a tool to do it better.

misteloct,

One time I used a GameShark mid game for a Zelda game, I saved my file and came back later to find that by maxing out, I had ruined my save file and lost all my progress. I cried my eyes out and it took days to get back, boringly replaying the game.

I always wondered if that was an intentional lesson by the GameShark devs… ChatGPT seems designed to make you act against your best self interest.

jaycifer,

I’ve had a similar train of thought. I work with a lot of people that have been doing their jobs for many years and know what they’re doing. They might benefit from an LLM since they already have the expertise to tell what to take or leave. A novice would benefit more long term from learning the hard way.

Continuing with that train of thought though, if someone has been learning and growing for years, is there really a point where it’s okay to stop, say “I don’t need to learn more,” and start relying on the easy method while their skills stagnate?

Rhynoplaz, do games w Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar?

A friend and I entered a local Magic the Gathering tournament. I had just taught him how to play, and he had picked up a few cards of his own and talked me into giving it a shot.

I sat down across from my opponent and watched him peel the plastic off of a deck that he just bought, and pummeled me with a pre built elf synergy deck.

My friend got stuck in a neverending healing token deck. He couldn’t do enough damage to break all the healers, and the healer didn’t have anything strong enough to get past his defenses, they just sat there dealing and healing infinite damage for what felt like forever.

I was pretty much over the game by the end of the day.

In 2008, Microsoft confirmed that its policy to prevent the use of words relating to sexual orientation had meant that Richard Gaywood’s name was deemed offensive and could not be used in his “gamertag” or in the “Real Name” field of his bio.[42]

How does this exact issue happen twice

Are you not allowed to be gay on Xbox?

rizzothesmall,

Dick Gaywood is probably the funniest name in history. I hope he’s a supply teacher.

yucandu,

I had a supply teacher named Mike Hunt. He rolled with it. He said “You can call me Mike, or you can call me Mr Cunt”.

Dr Rod Badcock has a fairly good claim. It is such a pornstar name.

Strange how they haven’t been forced by Turnip to change their name yet.

@rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

If this is true I’m definitely out. I am barely playing anything technically demanding on the hardware. Mostly older or indie games. The Steam Deck has proven that handheld PC couch gaming is more than enough for me.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even had to buy the PS5. It just catches dust and unlike the PS4 I didn’t get anything like Bloodborne aka something I could pump countless hundreds of hours in to justify buying it.

Doom

I could write an essay significantly larger than the game itself and it wouldn’t be as powerful of an argument as just saying the name with the weight of legacy it commands.

Already a great book on Doom. Called Masters of Doom by David Kushner. Have the audiobook highly recommend.

a more tech oriented book about doom.

great read for anyone who is into programming.

Added to my wishlist. Pricey but looks worth the read.

the full book in pdf is linked on the page for free , it’s very much worth the price for a paper coppy however.

the blog is also a treasure trove of techincal details for various games :)

Yeah not interested in a pdf version. I believe in reading books on paper. But I do the occasional ebook. But this will be worth having in my library.
