How about GOG Galaxy on Linux?

atro_city, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

I wish they worked with opensource projects like Heroic to provide an easy and fast way to run their games on Linux like in Steam. And if they provided a donation option or something to fund that work.

They do that already. They’re partnered with Heroic. If you buy GOG games through Heroic, Heroic gets a cut of that sale using a referral code program like you’d see in other stores. It gives Heroic some cash, and it gives GOG a line of sight into exactly how much revenue they’re missing out on by not building the Linux launcher themselves. This is what got me to start buying from GOG again.

atro_city,

Oh shit, really? Do you have a source for that?

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/…/v2.13.0

We also started a partnership with GOG and now every game you buy from the GOG store inside Heroic will give us a commission, so it is another way of supporting the project. :)

The link is also available at heroicgameslauncher.com/donate if you prefer to purchase games in your web browser.

atro_city,

Awesome, thank you!

I would never hold off on playing a game for a remake/remaster.

I love my oldies.

Same. I just setup RomM and I’m having fun playing snes and arcade games in my browser.

I felt this way after playing God of War 2018 and ragnarok. Everything else just felt pretty boring for a while. Currently enjoying my first play through of Red Dead Redemption 2.

That’s an interesting study. It makes sense that dominance-seeking behavior follows a ‘low-risk, high-reward’ strategy across species. The connection between status, objectification, and primate behavior is fascinating Morse Code Translator—wonder if similar patterns appear in different cultural contexts.

ameancow,

Just remember that evolutionary biology is largely considered quack science, often by evolutionary biologists themselves (at least in terms of how ev-bio is used to write papers and books about how horny men and women act in bars, and why your Tinder profile isn’t working and what it “means” when she texts you a certain way.)

TORFdot0, do games w Upscaling is actually good (as an option)

Upscaling an old game on fixed hardware that can’t output at high resolutions is good.

Upscaling a new game as part of the graphics pipeline instead of optimizing it is terrible and shouldn’t be accepted by gamers that have to spend $1000+ on a GPU

Wilmo, do games w Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today

I was really hoping for a PSVR2 port of Alyx, and the timing with a lot of PS games coming to Steam had my theorizing that was a compromise they made with Valve to make it happen but I think that was just wishful thinking now.

tacofox,

Whoa. A bit off from your point but I was going to say if you could use the psvr2 on pc it would have sold a lot better. Turns out Sony seemingly shadow dropped a pc adapter and now you can!

Honestly if that was a launch feature I would have probably bought one since ps5 doesn’t really have a compelling library for it to be worth it alone. Now I’m too broke to justify it :(

Acester47,

That’s actually how I played hl2 Alyx! Great headset, game was awesome. Wish there were more games of the same quality

Lv_InSaNe_vL,

PSVR2 works on PC now :)

Balatro is turn-based and is easy enough to control. I myself play on mobile, but Steam Deck shouldn’t be very different.

Far Cry 3 was absolutely a high point in the series. At least until the second half of the game. But the first half is incredible. The 2010s had some amazing video game villains. Vaas, Handsome Jack, Flowey, Father Comstock…hell, I’ll even throw in Andrew Ryan and GLaDOS.

I liked Far Cry 4 and 5. I’ll argue that Joseph Seed is the closest to a second Vaas the series has come. He’s not as melodramatic as Vaas, but he is a solid B- villain in my book. Pretty convincing, menacing, and rooted in his beliefs. Plus, I ran co-op a lot with my wife. So lots of good memories there.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m a sucker for 4’s main Villain, but damn did Joseph do a really good job. I’d have to place Vaas above him though because the dude seems genuinely unhinged.

You’re right about the 2010s villains too, I really hope we get some really good ones this decade too

I really didn’t like how railroad-y 5 was. Mechanics and gameplay wise its great, but the forced kidnapping story formula was so bad.

I felt Jacob Seed was more compelling as a villain than Joseph. Survival of the fittest extremism in the wilderness.

I still don’t get why they put them in games

Being a psychopathic murder machine is way too specific of a playstyle to be in every rpg with multiple action choices

Ephera,

I think, it’s a combination of things.

To some degree, it may make the player choice seem broader, as you can go full hero or full villain. In some sense, you can also go into the middle by kicking a puppy at one point and then helping an elderly lady at another.

But then, it’s also just hard to portray nuance. If the options are “pet kitty” and “punch kitty”, you know what’s what. But if it says “pet kitty” and “ignore kitty”, it becomes a lot less clear. Maybe the kitty does not want to get pet by a random stranger. You probably won’t be able to gauge its reaction from the character model to know what’s the right choice.
But you also won’t know what “pet kitty” really means. Will your character be gentle and back off, if the kitty does not appreciate the gesture? Or will they stroke that kitty until it bites them?

siv9939, do games w How the hell is there not a Green Arrow video game?

While I’m sure it could be a great game, it’ll never happen. WB just canceled a Wonder Woman game and shut down its developer. If they don’t have faith on a game based on one of their most well known characters, there’s no way they’d even green light a game based on a lower tier hero. A detective game based on the Question would be great too, but since he’s not one of DC’s top heroes it’ll never happen.

Airowird,

Yeah, but Wonder Woman is a woman from Europe, Green Arrow is a nepo billionaire, how can they not identify with him!?
