EncryptKeeper,

Yeah OP did a great job in composition but that lighting looks like the surface of the moon.

Krudler,

Ok thank you. I was gonna just say it looks like absolute shite as well

Witcher 3, which I played like 3 months ago. There was this one goofy quest where you had to save a mage by getting a magic book with a weird name that you could abbreviate to GOG. You needed a spell from it to disable the mage’s tower defence and regulatory management system (something along those lines), or DRM for short.

Fantastic voice acting, awesome gameplay, beautiful world. 10/10 I love her.

Her best card, in my opinion, but still janky because of the shard mechanic. It limits how many of her cards you can reasonably run in a deck which I just dislike. Great game, though!

teawrecks, do games w I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies

There’s so much competition in gaming right now, and good AAA games are so few and far between, that I don’t see a need for piracy. For every $90 piece of garbage there are ten $20 diamonds (don’t forget Devolver in your list of good small companies). I don’t ever buy dlc/deluxe/etc editions unless the company/game has earned it (almost never).

I will admit, Rockstar creates some high quality experiences, but their monetization practices are down there with the worst of them.

I can’t justify not pirating, I just think for me the motivation isn’t strong enough right now. Too many affordable good games to choose from.

WorldsDumbestMan,

At this point, I will just make my own. It’s a lifegoal after all…

Flamekebab, do games w this level is amazing
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

I think the thing I miss most about this game is how much it did with hardware from 2005. It looked great, played well, had a decent length but also didn’t outstay its welcome.

I’ve played through it at least twice. I doubt I’ll ever replay City or Knight as they were amazing but far far too long.

jacksilver,

I liked Arkham City, it felt more like the game they initially wanted to make. Batmans movement is a bit smoother, you get some fun gliding elements, and it opens up the map so there is a bit more of an exploration/investigation element.

I think Arkham Knight might have gone too large, and I feel like the batmobile sections felt too tank like.

Flamekebab,
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

They’re definitely fun and I enjoyed them but knowing how long they are I wouldn’t start them again. I had a similar thing with GTA IV!

It’s (from the era of) Quake with extra Earth lore & special triangles.

It’s like in the movies where the main hero chooses to not kill the bad guy at the end “because that would make him as bad as them” … yet he killed 1000 poor henchmen throughout the movie with no issues.

It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.

In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol

Edit: Whoops happy birthday in 3 months then…

razzazzika,

My 40th is in 3 months. Mario is 3 months older than me.

the_crotch,

This meme is a lie. The first appearance of Mario was donkey kong in 1981.

razzazzika,

Yeah… true. My shirt is wrong too. Its been 40 years since Super Mario Bros on the NES, but there was Donkey Kong in 81 and Mario Bros in 83.

slaneesh_is_right,

I don’t think mario came out of the womb as an adult with a mustache

InvalidName2,

And yet you still play video games, curious.

tal, (edited ) do gaming w I refuse to by a new mouse

corsair.com/…/scimitar-pro-rgb-optical-moba-mmo-g…

1000009259

OP didn’t expand on it, and his photos didn’t show it, but this mouse apparently has a bunch of thumb buttons, which is a legitimately-rare feature (though it’s not the only mouse out there to have a bunch).

EDIT: Amazon has 786 “gaming mice” with 10 or more — a bit arbitrarily-chosen on my part — buttons, so I guess that there’s a reasonable crop out there.

Makes it great for games like Arma 3 😍 and 3D cad.

Zorsith,

Logitech made the best (the g600) but it was discontinued and they show no signs of reviving it 😭

uninvitedguest, (edited )
@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

I have used the G604 for 6 years and the 6 side buttons are perfect for me - not too few, not too many, just right. Plus Bluetooth & Lightspeed to switch between devices.

I’ve printed it a replacement for its rubber cover, but now I need to look at cleaning/replacing the switches as they are starting to double click.

I bought the mouse for ~$68 on sale, the resale market for the mouse is nuts.

Bubs,

Had a Naga at first but refused to buy Razer after it broke (got quite a few years out of it). I’m on my second G600 and bought a third off eBay which is sitting on my shelf new and sealed. Of I ever get to the point that the third one dies, then I’ll maybe scavenge the first two for parts and repair one XD

Zorsith,

I saw something somewhere that they’re still selling them on ebay under the name “Logicool”, not sure how legit it is though.

Ive got 3 g600’s in rotation myself, i have yet to actually kill one and my main one has lasted me 5+ years

Bubs,

Thought you were talking about some scam with the name Logicool, but it’s actually the Japanese version of their brand. Seems to be legit too:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/comments/1exw62n/the_logicool_g600t_japanese_ver_of_logitech_g600/

despoticruin,

Second best. The best is actually the reddragon one that’s $20 on Amazon.

I have used every mmo mouse on the market (currently on a scimitar elite, it’s the one op has but silver not yellow) and they are all decent mice, but each has a fatal flaw except the reddragon.

G600 click switches are awful and double click after weeks of use, I had to replace them twice, the final time with the switches out of the red dragon. That was fine for close to 10 years, but the side key caps fall off, they are barely glued on.

The scimitar has an awful encoder on the scroll wheel, I had to open the mouse to pack it with Vaseline to get it working properly, and disassembling the scimitar is a nightmare.

The reddragon has bad software, but it’s also supported by open source options for remapping and RGB, so it’s one flaw was by far the easiest to fix.

The g600 was the most comfortable to palm, but the side keys are in an awkward spot to palm the mouse, the scimitar is nice for the adjustable keypad, but it moves with time and tightening it too much will break the mouse. The red dragon has an odd texture on the far side, very rough, but otherwise the best for a claw grip.

GrindingGears,

I bought some sort of no name quasi-mechanical keyboard that came with a gaming mouse as a combo, that was like $60 on Amazon, five years ago. Literally my favourites, both of them. And I’ve had many different keyboards and mice over the years too.

Pieisawesome,

Razer is still making their Naga mouse with 12 side buttons. I believe they have a model that you can hot swap the side buttons to be the amount you want.

Of course Razer isn’t the most reliable brand…

fushuan,

As cool as the hot swap thing is, it’s incredible they don’t sell replacement parts, mine has some faulty buttons that post cleaning somewhat work, but I use them almost as much as the click buttons, and having such an easy replaceable part that’s not sold infuriates me to no end.

bunnyBoy,

I remember when they went from the old form factor in the 2012 version to the new ones where the buttons stick out more. I hated it at the time, but the side buttons are just so useful that I can’t see myself buying any other type of mouse.

zipzoopaboop, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

If you’re worried about it, bg3 will give you more bang for your buck. Easy to get near 100 hours in the first playthrough and it has a ton of replay value. 33 you’ll prob get 20-40 hours depending on side content you do and it doesn’t have much replay value.

Speaking as someone who loved both and got 100% achievements in 33. Should do both though.

Minnels,

I got about 30 hours doing most stuff. The thing is that there is more of the game after the story is done, about double the content or so i have read. I did not do that part myself so can’t say much about it.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Ironically much like BG3, the third act of E33 is a mess. There is a ton of important side content with character moments and lore, particularly relating to Clea but also the whole Maelle relationship quest. But the pacing is completely off, it’s all presented as optional and it just feels very rushed. A “Definitive Edition” type patch or DLC that retools and restructures Act 3 would do E33 a world of good.

SilverFlame,

Agreed. The game was an 11/10 for me until I got to the third act and spent an hour going “what now?”

Up until then the pacing and level design was immaculate.

zipzoopaboop,

For expedition? Side content about doubles the length of the game, and all of it is doable before completing the story. NG+ is a thing and massively cranks the level of all enemies, but nothing else changes

Dudewitbow, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

yeah this is the circle of ownership because the only way to get your account back at this point is social engineering, which is a serious topic about getting accounts hacked which different companies will handle seriously, as it requires a level of “trust me bro” on identity, If possible, id try to look for a CS that will take receipts of the game purchases to help further prove your identity.

AnotherSmutAccount, do games w The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.

When you got attached to the characters in Fetish Locator you should definitely not play Leap of Faith. It’s going to crush you emotionally.

@Apeman42@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for the warning. I’d started playing because I needed a distraction from some hard IRL stuff, so that’s good to know. It was nice that when I fired up Being a DIK from the same bundle, they straight out ask you at the beginning if you’re going through shit right now, and gently suggest the game may be rough for you if you are.

ChicoSuave,

Adult games give emotional support these days. Not all, but many understand and respect the player to a degree not normally found in games. And because all the right wing puritans aren’t playing those games, no one is complaining about other hot button topics like gender, equality, etc.

AnotherSmutAccount,

LoF does the same mid game right before it hits the hardest with even offering to skip the scene entirely. However all characters are really likable, have some really good development and it is an overall (bitter)sweet story with lots of happy endings

Philokins,

when I fired up Being a DIK from the same bundle, they straight out ask you at the beginning if you’re going through shit right now, and gently suggest the game may be rough for you if you are.

Considering the dev’s previous game, Acting Lessons, that warning is worth taking seriously. That game has a fantastic story, but it has some rough shit go down. Although I will say that by the end of season 1 of Being a ΔΙΚ I don’t think there had been much “rough if you’re going through some shit” stuff. I haven’t played season 2 yet.
