HellAwaits, do gaming w I don't want to "Press any key to continue" to the main menu

Such not a big deal IMO

Navarian, do gaming w How much 5e do you have to know to enjoy Balders Gate 3?

There is a considerable amount of depth to the game, but it’s not insurmountable for anyone. You’ll have no problem going through the game if you read through tool tips and help pop-ups as they arise. DnD knowledge needed is none at all or negligible at best.

If you do end up playing, I hope you enjoy!

Skies5394, do gaming w What incremental games do you enjoy?

Trimps. I’m hopelessly addicted.

Stillhart,

Damn you…

I pirate Switch games that I already own on Steam because double dipping is stupid.

7gb inflated to nearly 40gb. That’s absolutely absurd holy crap

TacoEvent, do gaming w What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

MUDs. Text based (generally RPG) games with incredibly immersive story telling, near infinite levels of character customization, and many even feature ways for players to build on the world itself.

I’m surprised it’s not more popular amongst D&D enthusiasts.

In its hey day, people spent thousands of dollars just to boost their characters on massive for-profit MUDs like those created by Iron Realms. But smaller MUDs like Ancient Anguish were just as quality.

Sadly they’re going extinct. Only a few MUDs are still actively maintained.

Skedaddle,

I started reading Mort (Terry Pratchett) and it reminded me of the Discworld MUD I played with my friends in the 90s, on dial-up, all crowded around a single 13" CRT. I looked it up, and it’s still running!

TacoEvent,

That’s awesome! I’ve noticed it on lists of top voted MUDs for a long time, but never quite got into that particularly flavor.

Stache_,

Huh, that must be where the original name for Runescape (DeviousMUD) came from. Didn’t know it was a whole genre of games

Stache_,

Granted it’s not text based, so I could definitely be wrong.

TacoEvent,

Whoa that’s a nice piece of trivia. Did some googling and it definitely has roots in MUDs, but Andrew obviously had higher ambitions visually. That’s cool.

Ecksell, do gaming w Working parents, how do you find time to game?
@Ecksell@lemmy.one avatar

Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Instant pause/resume is invaluable.

minutnudler,

My son is 11 months, and if I didn’t have my steam deck I would probably not be gaming at all right now :) That instant off/resume is absolutely amazing.

I picked up a Switch thinking it would always be attracted to my TV. Maybe it was for a bit, but when my child came along the only way I used it was handheld and for spurts at a time.

That’s how I knew the Steam Deck was an instant buy for me - the pause/resume is key.

scribblemacher,

This 100%. The only games I’ve managed to finish in the past ten years are on Switch or a portable system.

steltek,

It’s mindblowing how smooth (and fast!) suspend/resume is on the Steam Deck.

  • GiantBasil,

    That’s… incredible actually. Every new bit I learn about Dwarf Fortress is genuinely fantastic.

    Otome-chan, do gaming w Stray really disappointed me. I want a real cat game.

    You should try playing Cattails which is basically exactly that. You play as a stray cat living a regular cat life. You can hunt, socialize with other cats (some are nice, some not), etc. No humans, just cats. The start of the game you get abandoned by humans I think?

    Blackthorn,

    I second this game. The cat can also find a mate abd have kittens

    Evergreen5970,

    You’re correct about the start of the game. They’re also planning a sequel!

    Sharmat, do gaming w are there small sized mmorpg's?

    Lord of the Rings Online is about 26Gb.

    Star Trek Online is also roughly at the same ballpark as LOTRO.

    Guild Wars 1 is about 5Gb.

    Secret World Legends also this one, about 10Gb.

    They are all decent, and fun to play if they’re your jam, some are more pay-to-win than others, like Star Trek Online. Some are a bit on the older side, like Guild Wars 1 being from 2005 though.

    Grimpen,

    Used to play Guild War 1, got back into it for a while around 10 years ago. I should still have my original login somewhere…

    RememberTheApollo_, do games w Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.
    @RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

    What are these games? Steam is littered with these and waifu porno stuff… Not kink shaming here but what’s the attraction?

    bestboyfriendintheworld,

    The more taboo a topic, the more it gets people agitated, sometimes this is channeled sexually.

    Gaylactus,

    I honestly don’t get it either… And I have nothing against porn, but some of these just sound and look like cheap copy/pastes and probably with little to no interactivity or gameplay. I’m curious to see how they are now, if only for comedic value.

    Just wanted to say it’s impressive as hell that you kept this up so long, I’ve enjoyed following along where I can and offering my two cents :)

    GrantUsEyes,

    I know right? The consistency, I could never.

    network_switch, do gaming w Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?

    They’ll streamline better over time. These open source WINE frontends/orchestrators may as well have 2 eras, before and after Proton. Before Proton they had little developer interest so development was slow. After Proton, influx of users and more developers interest in working on open source Linux gaming tools and Lutris rapidly got better and Heroic popped up. PlayOnLinux got left to historic obscurity in the history of Linux gaming

    So I’m not concerned about Steam reliance. Everything outside of Steam is so much easier because of Valves open source contribution and the growth of the community. Pretty much because of Valve, Lutris/Heroic/etc became better at a faster pace and will continue getting because of what Steam did for Linux gaming in the past decade

    Kovukono, do games w So is Kingdom Hearts 3 _bad_ or just the normal cringe of Kingdom Hearts?

    KH3 is bad. If I wanted to rank the main games, it’d be KH2, KH1 Remastered, KH1 with the original terrible camera and platforming, and then KH3. It’s not functionally broken, but it’s such a disappointment.

    The story is a hot mess because you need to play Birth By Sleep to know who Aqua is, and KH 0.2 to figure out how she got to KH3, Dream Drop Distance to know how Sora and Riku got there (which also builds off KH:coded) and to understand why you’re fighting Organization XIII again after you defeated them entirely in 2 and why there’s multiple versions of the big bad, and KH X (the Greek letter pronounced “key”) to know what the hell a random thing that shows up toward the end of the game is. And I’m probably forgetting stuff. I hadn’t played everything, and by the end, I was just sitting back and saying “Yeah, that’s another thing that didn’t make any sense” for about every story point.

    The attractions have no place in combat. They make it insanely easy, and I decided to turn them off entirely after I beat a boss just by juggling it on a pendulum ride. The Disney worlds kind of feel bare bones despite their size. It’s pretty, but it’s also empty.

    I wanted to love this game so, so much, but they had to cover over a decade of lore because the creator couldn’t finish FFXV, and it’s not brought together in any really coherent or satisfying way. The combat managed to be a step down from KH2. I finished the game, and I was just frustrated because it just was not good.

    All that said, for buying it, this game is supposed to tie up all the endings started in the other games. I’d just grab 1.5+2.5, and you’ll still have a good chunk of content if you’ve only played the main games. But if you also want to grab 2.8, buying the bundle is just cheaper.
