Booted up old Killing Floor again during the whole Helldivers debacle.

Smaller in scale but similar in concept.

Caffeinated_Capybara, do gaming w Dpad vs analog stick

Usually the analog stick. I’m just more used to it so it feels more natural most of the time. But some games do play better with a dpad, so there are exceptions.

Super Auto Pets

terzalo, (edited ) do gaming w Anybody know of games similar to Dito Seregin's 'Escape Pod'?

Hi, I’m Dito, I made the game!

Check out ΔV: Rings of Saturn! It’s a slower-paced simulation game, and it goes all the way to explore the idea of 2D spaceships with Newtonian physics in an asteroid field (or rather a ring system).

I also recommend Heat Signature, it’s one of my favorite games! It’s only partially about flying spaceships, but I was directly inspired by the pod controls in it.

Edit: I’ll also add Flywrench to this, it’s a tough and satisfying action game about maneuvering through multi-colored obstacles that you can phase through by switching your ship’s polarity in time.

jarfil, do gaming w Interactive Loading Screens - High Hell

The best loading screen is: none.

Load levels in chunks, preload the first chunk of the next level before the player reaches the end of the previous one, and either have a smooth transition, or at most put a skippable cutscene.

Loading screens are for poorly developed games.

What you call rigamarole is the standard way to map button presses to tge screen. It only looks like rigamarole to a PC user who is coming to gripa with how a controller interfaces with a screen. A third party mapping utility is STANDARD use case because you’re mapping button presses to the screen. That’s litterally how it works and it works well. When we mobile game players play games THIS is how we play and this IS THE reason why what you call “mobile games” TsumTsum candy crush etc are losing popularity because people be playing more intense games on mobile these days. Because of controller support.

sleepybisexual,

If you game on controller on android I think you’d love an android gaming handheld. Tho I don’t get the whole clip on controller thing

boomer,

That’s what we do. Xbox controller comes with a clip on. This is mobile gaming. Been this way for about 5 years now. Popularized by pubg at first but then more of this controller style games came along and the button mapper apps got a lot better. Right now the best are Octopus and Mantis. I prefer mantis.

sleepybisexual,

For android gaming (emulation) j have a handheld I use.

I gotta go with the NES. It’s the only console I ever owned, so…

When they released the mini-nes I snagged that little fucker up so fast.

I feel a lot of nostalgia towards my ds lite, even though I don’t play with it very much these days.

boomer, do gaming w Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?

The turn based RPG genre .

boomer, do gaming w What are you playing this week?

AFK killing time . Waiting for ZZZ and Wuthering Waves coming out this month.

sag, do games w Half Life 3

Valve can’t count to 3

Toes, do games w Half Life 3

I have a theory, they are gonna do an orange box kinda thing with it.

All the threes of every game in one. Plus a much newer engine with minimal restrictions.

Probably snes for me as well. Then again, I missed a couple generations by being busy/poor (I still hate trying to play anything on n64 or it's cursed controller).

I had Atari 2600, nes, genesis, Gameboy, snes, playstation, switch. I think I may have had or borrowed a gamegear at some point. In my first apartment, one of the other guys had a playstation 2.

To me, Atari Lynx and Sega Dreamcast.

sleepybisexual,

Never played lynx, always found Atari stuff kinda bad, that or the 2600 is a pos.

Any lynx recommendations?

@bufalo1973@lemmy.ml avatar

The VCS is an old console, not a POS. When it was new it was state-of-the-art. About the Lynx, the catalog is not long. You can get all the games (76 in total and the max size is 2 MB) and try some. I’d say California Games, Klax, Batman Returns, Toki, just to name a few.

sleepybisexual,

Yea, good point.

I’ll get into lynx
