themusicman,

I noticed this soon after posting. Tried to edit them, but must have missed this one

Coskii, do gaming w I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?

Probably that first NES controller… Those corners were hell on the palms.

shapesandstuff,

Those were terrible!

Nowadays for me it’s anything that doesnt have “horns” to grip or not enough space between them.

I stil main 360 controllers though i find them a tad too small/cramped

theangriestbird,

This drives me nuts on the Switch on handheld. The Joycons have no natural “grip”, so it’s hand cramp city unless you invest in a grip case. Was it so hard to give the Joycons an ergonomic shape?

sleepybisexual,

Yes, yes it was so hard. How else would they sell their dumb grips

sleepybisexual,

Ouch

AceFuzzLord,

Can’t be spoiled if you’re already confused

@SomeGuy69@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t post accounts or keys online. Bots are a million times faster in soaking this data up, it’s guaranteed no human who could deserve it, will get it. Make a post, pick some one at random and direct message them. Still a chance for multi accounting but less than just posting it online.

VaultBoyNewVegas, do games w What should I understand about Guardians of the Galaxy as someone who's never watched any of the movies but I'm playing the game right now?

The game is separate to the movies. There’s nothing to need to know before hand. Plus the movies are based on comics anyway and didn’t require prior knowledge to watch them, the game is also based on the comic characters. The origins of the characters in the game differ somewhat to the movies as well so there isn’t any benefit or advantage you’re missing by not having seen the movies.

It’s totally a scam!

This is awesome, thank you!

I always love recap threads like this. It’s an easy way for me to catch up the next day and make sure I didn’t miss anything.

essteeyou, do astronomy w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.

I hope it lives up to expectations!

I drove 2200 miles for this solar eclipse. I booked a place here in Dallas last year, and now it seems like it’s going to be cloudy with rain and thunder. :-/

I convinced my dad to fly over and join the road trip.

At least we got to see some incredible stuff on the way! Maybe there will be a break in the clouds…

suchwin,

I was in the same boat, 2000+ mile drive. NE Texas isn’t looking too bad right now! But if you’re up to it, drive up to Arkansas. I did that today from Austin-ish. Clouds up here are looking much more optimistic!

essteeyou,

I just unpacked, and there’s no way I can take another day in the car! :-D

It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I’m hoping to just take it easy.

SaintWacko,

I debated packing up my stuff and driving a couple hours to Mena, but I’m not sure the weather is going to be any better there…

Kichae,

I’ve heard that it’s still a surreal experience even when overcast. Though, that’s what I had to believe to actually book the hotel room and days off work as somene living on the north-atlantic coast.

CheesyGordita,

I was able to see the one back in 2017 smack dab in the middle of the path of totality and it was such a surreal otherworldly experience. No amount of trying to explain it to other people helped them really understand. Things look a weird way and there’s a very unique feel to it all.

My advice, get things set up, get your shots, start your recordings, but don’t forget to take 30seconds or so and just soak it in and be in the moment!

Enjoy! I’m super excited for you!

pjwestin, (edited ) do games w What are the best indie games you've ever played?
@pjwestin@lemmy.world avatar

Obligatory Undertale mention. I know it’s the cliché answer, and it’s fan base is…a lot, but it really is a great game.

Also, very happy to see FLT FTL get a couple of mentions here. Hardly any of my IRL friends have even heard of it, but it’s probably the best Star Trek game ever made (even if it’s not actually a Star Trek game).

SandLight,

FLT - Five Lights at Teddy’s

Kolanaki, do games w What are the best Samurai period games?
!deleted6508 avatar

Mount & Blade Warband’s Gekukoju mod.

Still waiting for a similar mod to come out for Bannerlord.

Sekiro is also good, but with Japanese myth and fantasy and not, like, based in reality other than the cultural similarities and aesthetics of the world.

Ghosts of Tsushima.

For an older maybe somewhat unheard of game, Way of the Samurai on PS2 was really fun.

jmanjones,

Loved Way of the Samurai growing up. Game felt huge as a kid!

yukichigai, do games w What games run well with integrated graphics?
@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

I said this elsewhere, but without knowing what specific integrated graphics card you're using (e.g. Intel HD 4000 series) it's hard to give specific recommendations. Generally though there's a range of things that will work:

  • Any game released 7+-ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
  • Most 2D games released 4+-ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
  • Anything that has an Android/iOS version.
  • Emulated games for anything from 2 console generations ago or more (e.g. OG Xbox, Playstation 2). Also the PC releases of those games (e.g. Knights of the Old Republic)
sneezymrmilo, do games w Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo?

Grim Dawn is goated. Not a big ARPG fan but this one just hits different for me. Simple enough for anyone to get into but can get complex enough that min-max theory crafters will have a blast messing with the games systems.

doctorcrimson,

For me it was a very short experience, but it’s got online coop.

CodingCarpenter,

Work all the dlc? I’ve played though a couple of times and it’s always like 30-40 hours

doctorcrimson,

The base game can be done in like 5-8 hours on a leisurely pace, the current speedrun WR is 57minutes but there are only 6 runners who’ve submitted to it so feasibly you could get a lot better times than that.

I’ve actually got a video on YT where I perform the “I Was Not Expecting You, Human” achievement to Slay Warden Krieg, who is the game’s midboss, in Veteran Mode with a character under level 11, and it was an hour and thirteen minutes from character creation to finish. The last 10 minutes are just the Krieg fight itself. This could be done much faster without the level requirement, though, because you could get more damage and better items.

The major problem with it is the enemy scaling. Every area has a minimum level and a maximum level, and as the character levels up so do the enemies. That means if you keep leveling in an area until you dwarf the enemies, it just keeps making it harder in the next area, so you’re incentivized to stay at the minimum level for that area and ignore the vast majority of enemies. Even farming for good loot comes at the added cost of making the mobs harder. I used to use a site that shows the level range for areas but I can’t find it anymore, sadly.

Dasnap, do games w CD Projekt Red are splitting from GOG somehow?
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

The email I read was talking about cross progression and stuff, which goes outside of GOG. It probably makes more sense for a PS5 or Xbox player to create a CDP account than a GOG account in that context, although it’s all still technically the same account anyway.

GOG and CDPR have always been different branches anyway. This just looks to be making the separation that’s always existed a bit clearer.

TWeaK,

The text above mentions Cross Progression.

GOG and CDPR have always been different branches anyway.

They have and they haven’t. CDPR used GOG’s infrastructure, and CDPR own GOG, so this makes sense. You don’t buy Valve games from the Valve store, you buy them from Steam.

Technically, I think GOG was originally started and owned by CDPR, then became GOG Ltd, and now it’s GOG sp. z o.o. However, I think it’s reasonable to be frustrated that the corporate restructuring (which is almost surely for their financial benefit) is affecting customers. I bought my games from GOG, because I like GOG, and I liked CDPR for making GOG and holding the same ideals.

According to Wikipedia, GOG sp. z o.o. is still a subsidiary of CD PROJEKT S.A.

What this seems to me is that CDPR no longer wish to sell their games on GOG, perhaps because GOG is staunchly DRM free. Does this mean CDPR are going to include DRM in future games? Or are they merely trying to expand the selection of titles they can sell on their storefront(s) to include those which refuse to be DRM free? Does this mean GOG is going to fall to the wayside, as they will no longer push for DRM free versions of major titles, instead referring them to the CDPR store?

I have DRM free versions of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Baldur’s Gate 3. It would be sad if future games weren’t available in this way.

brsrklf, do games w What's your big "Oh, THAT'S how I do that" moment?

So, a long time ago I got Little Big Adventure 2 a.k.a. Twinsen’s Odyssey.

This game has a “behaviour” feature that lets you switch between 4 modes : normal, stealthy, athletic and agressive. This has an impact on how the main character Twinsen moves and acts : normal walks and interacts, stealthy sneaks around, athletic runs and jumps, aggressive lets you punch stuff.

Note that all of those except athletic are unbearably slow, and the game requires quite a bit of jumping, so I quickly considered athletic the default one, only switching for something else briefly when I needed to do something specific.

In this game you get your second and last weapon, a sword, quite far into the game. It does a lot of damage, and it’s required to beat some enemies. But every time I’d try to use it, Twinsen would do a ridiculous backflip first, then do a jumping attack forward. It was very hard to hit a moving enemy that way, it required a lot of space and since I could barely control that move (tank controls by the way), there was a huge risk I’d get hit in the process.

I lost many times against a huge boss that was only vulnerable to the sword, eventually beat him with great difficulty and after that went through the rest of the game still trying to get the most out of that ridiculous weapon.

It took me another playthrough to understand that the way Twinsen used the sword depended on his behaviour. Only athletic did that double jump first, agressive in particular just let you hack stuff up immediately.
