mox, do games w Blizzard may have violated the UK GDPR following my 2019 Data Erasure Request

Did you attempt to close your account following the HK tournament controversy?

I stopped playing Blizzard games after that incident, because I’m not willing to populate the servers of a game company that punishes people for saying a few words in support of human rights. (I might eventually return, since Microsoft has replaced their upper management, but I’m not in a hurry.)

I never deleted my account, though, so I’m afraid I can’t offer another point of view on your situation.

Appreciate the sentiment nonetheless

Carighan, do games w Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Nothing, I got more than enough games left to play:

  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC
  • Shadow Gambit DLC
  • Tactical Breach Wizards
  • AI2 Nirvana Initiative
  • Unicorn Overlord
  • Mario&Luigi Brothership
  • Against The Storm

… and actually a bunch more I can’t even recall right now…

Man I’m the same. I have a couple hours screen time after work but often I’m tired an just wanna read a book.

I’ve only just started gaming again after a twenty year gap so I’ve got a big wishlist. I get excited about games that I want to play, buy them on sale - and then don’t have time to play them.

I started gaming when pong and space invaders were cutting edge. There’s just so much cool stuff out there these days, damn we’re lucky, I just wish I had more playtime!

NONE_dc, do games w What are the best games you can play on a laptop?
@NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

My laptop is WAY WORSE than yours and I could play Fallout: New Vegas with ease.

Edit: I didn’t read the RPG part 😅

Davel23, do gaming w What's your favourite it's all in the gameplay game?

Master of Magic. It's basically the Civilization gameplay loop, but adds fantasy creatures, magic spells, hero units and loot. There's a recent remake but it just doesn't capture the same vibes as the original, at least for me.

rtc,

Has been on my to-try list. The old one I mean, I don’t have the new.

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Bummer about the bugs, but it sounds like the game is promising dispite them. Hopefully they’ll be able to squash the majority of them over the next few months.

BURN, do games w What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?

Factorio

The Factory Must Grow

I’m almost 100 hours into my new space age save, and I’ve played nearly 1k hours since I bought it 5ish years ago. By far one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played and I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys sandbox games

liquefy4931,

Factorio. It’s the game I always come back to, and I’m always ready to spend 5 minutes playing here and there now that it works so well on steam deck.

conciselyverbose, do games w What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?

lol the problem with Destiny is they turned it into a treadmill and stopped putting the work into character and level design.

Elden Ring can easily take more than 100 hours on your first playthrough, and different builds significantly change your play style.

BG3, similar deal. Subsequent playthroughs are probably going to be accelerated, but there are a bunch of different story choices you can make that feel different, the party members have their own story lines, there’s a special custom character called Dark Urge that’s intended for a later playthrough that has it’s own twist, and you can change the strategy of encounters a lot with different party constructions.

Rimworld calls itself a story generator because you’re going to fail and have people die and whatever, but every game plays out different, there are a good couple scenarios, and there’s expansions and mods you can add on top of that for variety.

Just the first couple that come to mind. I’m not near 1000 hours on any of them, but they all have a lot of content.

rockerface, do games w You know what would be cool? If all those (job name) simulator games could all be joined.

And all of those shops are in a SimCity

cRazi_man,

That city is one of many in civilisation 6.

dan1101,

That is on only one Earthlike planet in the Elite Dangerous Milky Way galaxy.

SkyezOpen,

I hate when my card shop gets nuked.

AngryCommieKender,

Then you zoom further out to find that the Blokkats have moved into the star system next door, and are eyeing Sol hungrily.

Lost_My_Mind,

Stop! Please! I can only get SO erect!

garretble, do games w Castlevania Anniversary Collection & Snakebird Complete are free to claim on the Epic Store
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

This continues my streak of buying zero (0) games from Epic but still having a sizeable library there.

N00b22, do games w The Zeebo, only released in Mexico and Brazil. More info in the comments

Zeebo

The Zeebo is a video game console that was released in 2009, primarily targeted at emerging markets. It’s price was 499 Brazilian Reals in Brazil and 2499 Mexican Pesos in Mexico, equaling to around 89 US Dollars.

It had remade versions of games from mobile phones and other consoles, such as FIFA 09, Resident Evil 4, Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, etc. It also had several exclusive games, these being the Zeebo Extreme, Boomerang Sports and Zeebo Football Club franchises and the game “Un juego de huevos”, an action game based on the Mexican film “Una película de huevos”.

Preinstalled games were different in both Brazil and Mexico:

Mexico: Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, Pac Mania, Tekken 2, Zenonia and Zeebo Family Pack

Brazil: FIFA 09, Need for Speed: Carbon Own the City and Brain Challenge

Some characteristics of the Zeebo included a 3G connectivity and low-cost gaming. When you bought the console you would get 1 hour of free Internet, and you would recharge by buying “Zeebocreditos” (that were used to buy games in the storefront as well)

The console had failed because of it’s limited game library, the competition, perception of quality (the console was made with bad quality materials, and the graphics were comparable to a PSX) and technological limitations.

The Zeebo flopped so bad, that on 2011, Zeebo announced they were going to cease all operations in Brazil and Mexico, and that the online storefront was going to shut down.

Zenonia on a tv console LMAO. I loved that game but it’d be an embarrassment on a ps1

ViscloReader, do games w How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers?

Buy one for the living room, oled or standard. Then, if requests / frustrations about playing asynchronously piles up. Consider buying another for the most invested of all. Take physical copies also. They’re easier to share.

cdipierr,

I started with just one, and was buying digital games. I quickly found as each child gets to 6-7, they need their own switch. So I’m sitting at 4 right now, and agree hard on physical games.
