mic_check_one_two, do games w Wait, that game is still playable online?

My buddy still regularly plays EverQuest Online. These days, it’s sort of expected that you multibox and run an entire party, instead of just one character. He usually has his bots pulling mobs in the background of whatever other game we happen to be playing.

truxnell, do gaming w What a waste

That monitor layout would be my personal hell

PyroNeurosis,

It’s exceedingly functional! I have a similar one: main monitor for games, portrait monitor for discord/reading, and a third for videos/browser/misc.

truxnell,

Totally get the utility, it’s just the combo that does me in.

I’m running triple but it’s a 42"C4 OLED with twin 1920 X 1200 in portrait either side. I do similar, but it looks much much better.

I would use this setup to browse lemmy, maybe watch a yotube video or two and emulate ps1 games.

Lemminary,

I’d use it to fall asleep in my chair to 90s sitcoms on YouTube.

I never really played competitive shooters until Marvel Rivals. I’m just trying to play a game and people are screaming up and down about nothing.

I don’t even play competitive, I play quick match and I usually try to swap roles to match the team comp.

I’ve been playing long enough that I try to stop people yelling at our own teammates. Although, it doesn’t stop the enemy team from instigating.

CluckN,

Marvel Rivals devs admitted that they balance for casual play. Now that they’ve added pay to win “shields” so you can’t lower rank from losing make competitive a complete joke.

lobut,

Yeah, I think it was crapped on universally by almost everyone.

I think most people are saying that they really need placements matches in Rivals for competitive.

I think I’m swapping to Expedition 33 for now though.

If you think that’s rough, growing up with the classic makes it really rough to see them force a generic extraction shooter into a beloved franchise for no reason

It’s a shame that Another Metroid 2 Remake got Cease & Desisted, purely because Nintendo was about to release Samus Returns and didn’t want to compete with a fan game that was better.

Kinda cool this kind of “work sims” keep popping up. Though I tend to lose interest in them after few hours, as the gameplay generally turns to routine and becomes fairly boring… that said I don’t even know how many hours I’ve spent driving a truck in Euro Truck 2 so… not all routines are the same, I guess?

Is the game fairly dimly lit or is your store just trying to save on electricity?

XeroxCool,

BRB gonna throw that initial description somewhere on a LinkedIn post for a remote job

We bought some lights for the ceilings later to make it brighter because one of my friends was saying the same thing lol. There’s a toggle for reduced lights that’s on by default in settings, but i didn’t mess with that so maybe that will help too

Jimmycakes, do games w I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with epic games store. People think just because everyone on the internet told them not to like it so they have to not like it. It’s a store. It sells you games then when you click on the game it opens so you can play. That’s it literally that’s all it does same as steam same and Xbox. Just like stores in real life I buy things where the price is the best which sometimes means I buy on epic or steam depending on the sales.

kurcatovium,

After reading your comment I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I tend to not buy where owner of the store treat me like shit. Neither in real life nor online.

It’s a bad experience overall

The UI was super buggy for me

I want all my games on Steam and to not have to install multiple apps

The real reason I take my meds to be honest

SolarMonkey, do gaming w Quests? Storylines? Never heard of her

If they wanted me to do the main story first they wouldn’t have made side quests and collectibles to pad out the play time immediately available.

This has backfired big time from time to time, for example horizon forbidden west, all that side shit is much easier if you actually do most of the main story asap…

But typically it just means the end boss is easier and that’s ok.

bassomitron, do games w I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?

People are going to list all the features Steam has over Epic, ignoring that Steam has had ~22 years to get to where it is. The original Steam experience was garbage, and lots of us older gamers knew what would happen and hated that Steam would be the primary catalyst to killing off physical media for PC games back in the mid-2000s, especially as broadband internet access was becoming far more accessible.

Don’t get me wrong, Valve has done alright so far in terms of game ownership, but once Gabe dies/retires, it’s only a matter of time before some greedy fucks force Valve to go public and the pure enshittification process begins.

Darkenfolk,

People are going to list all the features Steam has over Epic, ignoring that Steam has had ~22 years to get to where it is.

And then there are people talking about how steam has had those 22 years, while completely ignoring how epic could just copy how steam did things and work from there.

Sure, they can’t see what happens in the back end, but I somehow doubt that valve is doing anything ground breaking there that others can’t think of.

TomAwsm,

Okay, but have EGS really improved in any significant way in the 7 years they’ve been up? I don’t see it. Plus, a smart competitor would absolutely look at Steam’s history and learn from it; they don’t seem to have done that at all.

If they had spent the same amount of money on developing the storefront that they have on exclusivity deals, EGS could have been a worthy competitor.

bassomitron,

I don’t disagree that Epic could definitely be doing better with their storefront. They have made improvements, albeit at a glacial pace. They’ve added achievements and reviews, but it’s still a pale comparison to what Steam offers. That being said, no one seems to dig at GoG’s shitty storefront and app nearly to the same degree. Luckily, GOG allows third-party access, so you can at least replace their app with other alternatives.

Regardless, I’m not defending Epic, I was simply trying to avoid doing the mindless “fuck Epic” and offer some counterargument. Epic is a shitty company, but some competition is better than zero competition. Yes, GOG exists, but they hardly have any marketshare at all and if CDPR ever stops supporting it as much as they have been, their future likely isn’t looking so great. It’s like AMD vs Nvidia. Both companies aren’t great, but I’d rather both exist than only Nvidia and/or AMD; and of course, even more competition would be even better.

TomAwsm,

Agreed on all points. Sorry if I sounded overly antagonistic.

SRo,

Fuck epic

dustyData,

Lol, no one is listing steam features. Epic is perfectly capable of being pieces of shit and a garbage company without needing comparison.

EGS is today as old as steam was in 2010. Yet it is still behind 2010 steam’s features. All that on top of all the unethical and shady stuff they have done and the many different ways they make gaming worse for everyone.

bassomitron,

Their Guides feature didn’t come out until 2012sh, same with workshop. The only thing Steam had in 2010 that Epic doesn’t have right now is Community, which launched around 2007sh.

Like I said, Steam was not that good for a long time.
