Strider, do games w CrankBoy - the original Game Boy game emulator for the Playdate console (my article)

I had a Playdate for a while. I thought it would fill a gap when playing in sunlight (as a retro collector / curator).

But it just didn’t hold up software wise for me. Everything is more or less minigames. It does have system selling minigames - but that wasn’t enough for me.

And for that it’s too expensive, sadly.

The tomatoes growing in that apartment is great level design. I had the same reaction of "how could these plants survive without people?" and then you get jumped and it's like "oh, should have known." The apartment also has a door you can't open that's opened after you get jumped which explains where the people came from. I remember appreciating the details (after struggling to not die).

It really is, that’s something i feel like Naughty Dog always nails. The fight after they jump you really was a struggle too lol

henfredemars, do gaming w Who plays Animal Crossings New Horizons?
@henfredemars@infosec.pub avatar

My wife used to enjoy this game until her mother started playing. I should ask her about playing again.

Geodad,

It’s my chill out game. I have heard people talk about Stardew Valley, but I can’t seem to find the physical cartridge, and I’m ideologically opposed to completely digital licensing.

@henfredemars@infosec.pub avatar

I love Stardew! Definitely my favorite chillout game, but I think it’s a little bit less chill than Animal Crossing because it feels like there’s never enough time to do everything in an in-game day.

I only ever played the PC version of Stardew. This might not be totally accurate, but I understand it started on PC.

Geodad,

I’ll have to look into that. If it’s on PC, I can get it and play it with Proton/WINE.

Micromot,

Stardew runs natively on linux

Geodad,

Sweet! 🥰

Micromot,

You will have to see if you like it though, as it can be a bit different from animal crossing. It has a similar vibe to it though

TehPers,

Make sure to look at mods! Stardew Valley has a ton of awesome mods, ranging from full on expansions to replacing the game with Pong.

No idea how available they are but I know they exist. I also know many releases on Switch were made in limited numbers and thus are really expensive on the secondhand market.

GOG also has it DRM-free if you decide to go the PC route.

TehPers,

Back when I was playing it, I believe it’d work just fine without the steamapi DLL if purchased through Steam.

Plus, the modding scene is big enough that these days you can pretty much compile the PC version of the game from source, assuming you can find a suitably cleaned up decompiled version of it. (Do pay for a license if you go this route, it’s definitely worth the price.)

No idea about the Switch port. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s harder to find though due to the Switch being more locked down in general.

slauraure,
@slauraure@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, it’s generally up to the publishers if they want to use DRM on Steam or not.

Still GOG lets you download offline installers. Then you can archive them however you please. It’s probably worth something for someone not keen on borrowing digital licenses. Only real thing you’re giving up is Steam achievements.

My experience with it on Switch is great. Couldn’t tell it apart from PC honestly and it is well suited for handheld play. Guess it all comes down to availability of cartridges. One thing with the cartridge though is that when Nintendo kills off the patch servers and you decide to play again, it will most likely be whatever version is on the cartridge (still better than no game!). Normally this doesn’t bother me one bit, but this game has gotten a lot of updates adding a significant amount of content. An archived installer from a version you actually played will probably feel more worthwhile to revisit in 15 years or whatever.

IVII0, do zapytajszmer w Kofeina, kofeina, co zamiast niej

Bieganie. Albo jakakolwiek aktywność fizyczna. Miałem o tyle problem z kawą, że mi zaczęła rozwalać żołądek. I dowolnym innym źródłem kofeiny też, bo raczej pijałem yerba mate niż kawę, i mate w zasadzie działała jeszcze mocniej na rewolucje żołądkowe.

Nie ukrywam też, że od kilku miesięcy, albo w zasadzie półtora roku się po prostu spasłem - dostałem samochód służbowy i wiadomo, wszędzie samochodem, praca przy biurku 3/2 hybryda, więc samego chodzenia nie było wiele. Powiedziałem dość.

Wstaję o 6 i zanim zacznę myśleć, że mi się nie chce, że może jutro, że w sumie to trochę źle się czuje, a może będzie padać, a może za zimno, to padam na ziemię, 30 pompek, zakładam buty na nogi i wychodzę z domu. Czyli wychodzę jakoś 6:10.

Przebiegnięcie 2-3km w spokojnym-średnim tempie nie zajmuje więcej niż 20 minut. Brak czasu nie może być tu wymówką.

I nie potrzebuję żadnej kofeiny. Jak wracam, zimny prysznic żeby szybko się ochłodzić i jestem żywszy niż jakbym i pięć litrów kawy wypił.

Z każdym treningiem jest podobnie - nie chce się, zaczynam kombinować i szukać wymówek i mój sprawdzony sposób na to przestać myśleć, przełączyć się na tryb absolutnego bezmyślenia i automatycznie spakować sobie torbę na siłkę i tam jechać. Po treningu nagle się okazuje, że czujesz się jak młody bóg, gdzie 2 godziny wcześniej było stękanie że dzisiaj to chyba nie ma siły.

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Heh, I just played Smash Ultimate after a long while too. Had a few matches with my kid. I started strong, beating him in first few matches, then he got better and I lost 70-80% of the matches. 😀

brsrklf,

My problem with Smash is I just can’t commit to one character and I’m just kind of bad at all of them. If anything, the most decent I get might be with the Links and Belmonts. I guess projectile jank is kind of my thing.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

It’s more fun playing with tons of characters, specially for a casual game like this. That’s what I do too.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It really can be like that. I started strong with my younger brothers and now i’d say they can beat my ass a good 6/10 times if they try hard enough. Granted i don’t play nearly as much as they do

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, same here. I am still much better at more technical fighters, like Street Fighter, but get completely destroyed in Smash.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m the opposite boat with technical fighters. I just cannot get the hang of them. The closest I ever got was Tekken 7 because Negan from TWD was in it

Oh, I am terrible at them. I am just better than my kids 😀

daggermoon, do games w Why do new Silent Hill entries attract so much negativity?

I don’t know but its fucking annoying. Yes, the Team Silent games were the best, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have more great SH games. I’d like to think Konami learned their lesson with Downpour. Homecoming was alright except for it contradicting previously established lore. I’m going to play f with an open mind. Being an SH fan can be exhausting sometimes.

memo,
@memo@feddit.it avatar

honestly, imma just say it: silent hill shattered memories had a very interesting take on the series, and I don’t see anything wrong with spin-offs or minor titles deviating from the original formula of gameplay. Are we just bathing a tad too much in nostalgia?

RightHandOfIkaros,

I dont mind spin-offs. I avtually like Silent Hill The Arcade and I wanted to play Book of Memories until I saw its not supported in Vita3k still. I ain’t buying a Vita just for that one game.

I don’t understand IP fans that think spin-offs are mainline entries. Metroid Prime Pinball and Hyrule Warriors (the original one) are among the best of the best spin-offs. I can’t imagine why anyone would think they taint the series they are based on. They are supplemental material made to be fun, not to contribute to the mainline story.

Dvixen, do gaming w Whine harder you assholes
@Dvixen@lemmy.world avatar

My favourite characters are those who don’t fit the ‘norm’.

My Dune character is a bearded lady with purple hair. I’ve had my purple haired lass in multiple games now.

People complaining about representation in games… Most of the time we are playing as murder hobos, and inclusivity is their big whinge?

prole,

Exactly… I’m all about stories that include all aspects of the human experience, especially ones that I’m not personally familiar with.

I did learn a lot of modding with my commitment to play gay characters at least. Thanks compulsory heterosexuality for teaching me to Google things like “Carth gay”!

One of the first mods I tried to mess with was The Underground for Morrowind (which Skyrim’s Dawnguard is 100% a rip off of btw) because it forces you into a het relationship as part of the storyline. Unfortunately, it was such a crashy mess that just changing all the gender checks didn’t help.

People assume heterosexual is the default and get pissy at anything else, they’re completely spoiled. I can’t really think of any video games which force you to be a gay dude, unless you’re playing like Dream Daddy? The Last of Us Part 2 has you play as a lesbian, and I guess the usual crowd did have a meltdown over Abby not looking like a Princess.

I think you’ve seen that there’s more than meets the eye, at the very least, so we can leave it at that. A friend of mine was quite sure he had almost finished it before when he was nowhere close, lol.

The addition of romance options in game needs to just be removed. It’s incredibly cringy and rarely ever adds anything to the narrative aside from side-plot fodder.

Leave relationships to The Sims and quit wasting the time that’s better spent making the game more stable and bug free.

faythofdragons,

Either get rid of it or make every romance option open to PCs regardless of character creation options.

I dunno what you’re saying about the Sims tho, the last time I did romance in the Sims I was killing all my spouses to collect types of death. Far more interesting than the average romance option in games.

MiddleAgesModem,

Looks like someone’s bitter he didn’t get any alien tang in Mass Effect

MourningDove, (edited )

Seriously… What’s the deal with everyone here making psychological evaluations of one’s disposition based solely on assumptions made from a single comment? I see it everywhere. Is there some mandated requirement with Lemmy that people subscribe to the 2007 Internet Denizens Guidebook to Being Edgy?

Dude, I’ve logged about 20 minutes of time in Mass Effect. I didn’t like it. So I have no idea what “alien tang” is.

I simply voiced my opinion on the subject as everyone else has. If that’s not how things work here, then I can definitely see why the user count is diminishing.

MotoAsh,

Donpt characterize an entire platform. It’s reductive, srong, and stupid of you to anthropomorphise an entire platform.

MourningDove,

What platform did I characterize exactly? And I don’t think you know what anthropomorphize means.

Pheta,

That's how the world works buddy. Sorry if you stepped outside your echo chamber, but romance is a part of stories as much as romance will always be a genre of books.

And everyone's gonna judge you if you say stupid shit like this. 'Psychological evaluation', as you put it, is just extrapolating. Or, if you need smaller words, guessing that since you're dumb enough to completely dismiss romance as being worthy of including in a plot, you might be dumb enough to be a bible thumping Karen, or part of Collective Shout.

If you really think being a bigot is okay, I don't really know what else to tell you. Bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out? You don't have many friends?

But yeah, welcome to the real world.

MourningDove,

I don’t recall anything I said being bigoted at all, but the. Again- I’m not in charge how you interpret information.

Speaking of wind tunnels, it appears as if I haphazardly stepped into yours. Apologies that I upset you as it wasn’t my intention.

Real quick… I was told Lemmy was different than Reddit, clearly that’s not the case here, as a different opinion is frowned upon- so could you maybe direct me to the area of lemmy that _they were talking about?

It’d be a big help, buddy!

MiddleAgesModem,

Missing out on the sweet, sweet Asari ass

sunzu2,

That's what I thought about it too but witcher 3 converted me.

Bg3 is alright too... Nobody is forcing anyone do gay shit.

I don't get the melt down. I never seen it being forced in vidiya unlike hollycreeps produced trash

daggermoon,

You must be a fun person /s

MourningDove,

I’m totally not! /s

Seconding this. I got a used Wii and hacked it to play pirated games from an SD card, including Just Dance. Literally every commercially sold Wii can be hacked now, it's super easy. No money given to Nintendo.

Also, the Just Dance modding scene is still pretty active and there are Wii ports for newer songs/games. But you can emulate stuff instead if you don't have/want a Wii.
