Ulrich, do gaming w System76 or Framework for Linux gaming
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Framework is upgradeable. The S76 isn’t.

ScoobyDope, do games w Gaming has a polarization problem

It’s just the natural result of the sensationalizing of the news. Far more likely to get clicks or views saying something is fantastic or horrible. The grey areas don’t make $$$.

Day 3170 here… that’s still what I’m doing… But in Athens, and mouse+keyboard.

Walking dog, feeding homeless, getting drunk, magic the gathering and dnd with my other retired friends. That’s what I would do if I ever retired, which I probably won’t because of everything.

villainy, do games w Favourite Metroid game?

If we’re allowing Trilogy as one game then I’m going to step out a bit and go with AM2R. It’s extremely good and not “for a fan remake”, just straight up good.

If we’re talking single games made/published by Nintendo I’d go with Dread for 2D. I played through that 3-4 times back to back when it came out which was a totally new behavior for me. For 3D it’s Prime 1, still the best 3D example of the genre.

It’s such a shame that Western publishers were so ashamed of games Japanese origins. For me, being a teenager at the time, I wanted anything and everything Japanese I could get my hands on. I felt like this was the case for a lot of people at the time. It’s why anime and manga were exploding in popularity.

Elevator7009sAlt, do games w What is your favorite mod?

I’d have to say thanks to SMAPI and Content Patcher for enabling so many Stardew Valley mods in the first place.

Also, Qwinn’s Ultimate DAO Fixpack for allowing me to have a mostly bug-free experience playing Dragon Age: Origins. Mostly.

AstralPath, do gaming w What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS (refresh rate). ?

In this day and age, anything below 60FPS 1080p is unacceptable. If a new game can’t hit that target on 3 year old hardware, the game is unfinished.

penquin,

I’m asking YOU and what YOU think is playable and you’d enjoy it , not games.

AstralPath,

I think 60FPS is totally fine. 30 is only OK on slower moving games or era-appropriate consoles; Halo on the OG Xbox for example.

I know OP has a point that they weren’t asking your opinion on games, but I really like your stance of demanding performance from the game devs especially on older hardware. There is a culture of "must have newest hardware to run everything maxed " that’s just dumb consumerism.

Kazumara, do gaming w Don't forget to make a 2nd save file just in case.

They could improve this so much by saying something like “the last 2 minutes and 24 seconds of unsaved progress will be lost” instead. Just need to keep a time counter from last save, that’s not too much overhead.

wccrawford,

There are even games that already do this. I still end up second-guessing, but at least “you last saved 8 seconds ago” makes me pretty sure I got it.

mox, do games w EA releases another shameless IP flip with Sims 1/2 Legacy

@DuckWrangler9000@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, I’ve used both on Windows 11. Unfortunately, does nothing for the User Interface size. But that’s exactly what I had to do to get the original games to run before this shameless flip.

I wonder if the Clean UI mod would help with your issue. Have you tried just adjusting your resolution though? I’ve heard 720p is the optimal resolution to avoid various bugs

davel, do gaming w I'm so tired all the damn time.
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

I like my games like I like my sex: casual, and over in five minutes.

expatriado, do gaming w I'm something of a data hoarder myself

added a cd/dvd read/write on my pc for $25 new, mostly so I could install my old permanent license Photoshop CS6

MrScottyTay, do gaming w What video game franchises do you not need to start from the very beginning to enjoy? What would you recommend as the entry point into your favorite series?

For final fantasy, quite literally just pick whichever one has a theme and/or gameplay style that looks interesting to you. As long as it’s not a sequel to a previous game you can pick any.

The only ones with sequels (some prequels) are VII, X, XII and XIII.

Although some could argue with XIII you can also start anywhere.

makeshiftreaper,

Well, I think you’d have a hard time finding anyone who’d suggest XI as a starting point too. Considering it’s a “dead” mmo

MrScottyTay,

It’s not dead, I started playing it just a few years ago and had a blast for a few months. There’s even a thriving private server at the moment that even integrates with retroachievements as well which is wild.

HorizonXI for anyone wanting to know the server

makeshiftreaper,

Thus my quotes around “dead”. I’m well aware people still play it, it’s just an old design and if there are two Final Fantasy MMOs that someone could play, don’t you think almost everyone would suggest the one in active development, with a significantly larger playerbase, and the one that has had a much better critical reception? Seems obvious to me

MrScottyTay,

Depends what kinda playstyle they want. If they want cookie cutter wow-style theme park mmo in it’s best form, xiv. If you want something unique and unlike anything else you can play right now. For better and worse, xi. Some people don’t like the look of modern mmos but might feel at home with a classic one

Chivera, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

Nazi zombies, it shows them as the monsters they really are.

Sam_Bass, do games w Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all?

Blasting Nazis needs no reason
