Oh BTW I am currently waiting to complete a “challenge” (its an achievement) for a special game, with a special achievement. All I have to do is, not to play the game. No seriously, “The Stanley Parable” has a famous achievement, that you get if you don’t launch the game for 5 years. The fun story is, I purchased the game just to get this achievement. Really. I purchased it and waited 5 years, then installed it and run it.
But wait, why don’t I get the achievement? After an investigation I came to realize that the game has to run at least once, so the timer starts counting. Well, since then I played the game and wait another 5 years. I almost reached the fifth year. So to complete everything (which I did not honestly) you would need to do not to play the game. Is it worth it? I say absolutely!
Yeah I know, there are methods. But I want to “earn” it the right way, as I don’t like cheating for this kind of stuff. But thanks for the tip nonetheless. Edit: Especially as I’m in the ninth year now…
Nooooooooo, you’re just envious because you don’t have a RTX 5090 that only costs 15k dollars and needs to generate fake frames at 400*300 to maintain a stable 60FPS
I’ve been playing the older Ys games. Ys seven and back. These games are great. I didn’t play a single Ys game until last year. No nostalgia for them. Practically no JRPG nostalgia either as I was a Diablo/Baldurs Gate type gamer 20+ years ago. Now I’m eating up all these old JRPG games
Something about this series where the games seem budget for their era but has great polish. Good music. The stories are fun entertaining adventures. The characters are lovable. Gameplay is fun to me and iove the music. I’m impressed with how the games on PC have ultrawide support. Eventually I’ll get to 8-10 where everyone hypes up 8 as best in series. And all the modern games are easy enough for pretty much anyone to run on cheap hardware. Great series
I’ve been losing my mind seeing the flood of terrible events going on but I finally made it to here. I love your posts they’re one of the highlights of Lemmy, a beacon of joy, thank you as always
I completely get that. With everything going on today it’s just nice too have something like these too look at. Putting these together for an hour or so everyday provides the same relief for me
As my recent hunt for a new monitor can attest to, you actually pay less for curved than a regular screen of the same specs.
I don’t know if they made a bunch and now can’t sell them and thus they’re all discounted or if they’re cheaper because they’re only making those now aka economy of scale.
Either way I’m not here for it so I paid more for that regular monitor.
I remember that was the case for PS3 and BluRay, but not so much DVD and the PS2. PS3 was, what, $300? $400? Where as the cheapest BluRay player that just played BluRay movies was almost a grand.
I may just not remember it being similar for PS2. I was a sophmore in high school when it came out.
The PS3 was stupid expensive at launch, like $600 in 2006, nearly $1000 in 2026 dollars. But yeah I think that argument was made then also.
I think the PS2 was marketed specifically for DVD capabilities in some cases, I remember an IR dongle and remote control they sold so you didn’t have to use a controller.
Dying Light 1 is the best one anyways - DL2 was a big step down and DL:TB was fine, but wasn’t able to really “connect” to DL1 either. DL1 just had everything - great combat, great parcour, creepy nights with an actual INCENTIVE to go out (to kill bolters) - I honestly don’t know why they are unable to replicate that success.
To answer the question - Rimworld and Project Zomboid. As always.
Nice. Last I played, I recently found out colonists’ moods are locked the second their enter a coma. I of course abused this by turning my colonists into unaging sangophages, getting them as happy as possible, having them deathrest permanently, and then giving them a psychic harmonizer.
Eventually I got my hands on a modified sangophage gene with psychic hypersensitivity, and it was smooth sailing from there. My little meat joy batteries would each give my colonists up to like +40 mood in a massive radius around my base.
I recommend trying Automobilista 2! It has decent VR support and decent VR performance compared to most sims, and makes it hard to race elsewhere for me.
