The OG: Space Cadet Pinball.

There is one I remember hearing about a while back and I want to find it again that was really dope because it was a full on simulator and had a easy to use builder to build your own tables. People were recreating actual tables for it, though only those in the public domain.

Space Cadet was one of Maxis’ Full-Tilt Pinball tables. Afaik it’s not in the public domain, Microsoft licensed it from Maxis. However, I’m not sure EA would actually enforce the copyright unless someone was making a lot of money off it.

flappy,

By the way, The Windows XP version has been ported to WASM, and you can play it in a browser.

kosmoz,

Space cadet has been reverse engineered and can be installed in Linux through flatpak: flathub.org/…/com.github.k4zmu2a.spacecadetpinbal…

Rhynoplaz, do games w Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

Is there a “somewhere in between” option?

I played the crap out of the OG Warcraft games, and thought online play would be fun, but I realized that I play at far too chill of a pace to stand a chance, but strictly turn based tactics games are teeth-grindingly slow, and even if I’m enjoying them, I still eventually get bored and quit.

The new Terminator RTS can be pretty difficult but you can just smack space to pause and asses the situation, issue orders, and then in pause. It’s got a little jank to it but it’s a really good RTS with some survival/scavenging aspects and some branching objectives.

nogooduser,

I’m like that too. I can’t think or move fast enough for RTS but don’t have the patience for really thinking things through in turn based games.

Maybe the in between would be turn based with a time limit per turn.

Rhynoplaz,

Well, seeing as Hearthstone has been my go to phone game for ten years, I think you hit the nail on the head!

GamingChairModel,

Chess basically solved how turn based games can still be pretty fast.

PythagreousTitties, do games w Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

I’m fully turn based. I could never get into RTS. StarCraft for example was never fun to me. I don’t know, I just like the slower pace.

Delta_V, do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

I like action games, including FPS, with RPG elements.

Borderlands and Diablo - I like that you can just jump in and start blasting without really having to read anything about the setting or characters

Fallout and Cyberpunk 2077 - slower paced and less immediately fun than the previous two, but the action does keep the story interesting

Pure RPGs can be fun as an engineering project - twisting the game’s systems to create unbalanced character builds.

gaylord_fartmaster, do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

FPS, but mostly because I no longer have the free time to finish a 50-100 hour RPG.

ByteOnBikes, do gaming w What EldenSoulsBorne boss gave you an embarrassing amount of trouble?

Maybe not a pushover, but I died an embarrassingly large number of times.

In Elden Ring, some of the evergaols and bosses wandering the worldmap were harder than actual bosses. Ringleader’s Evergaol took me like 10 tries.

The dancer in DS3 made my wife and kids check up on me.

Miimikko,

Ah hello there ‘Early Dancer PTSD’, my old friend.

Bojimbo,

Dancer has my favorite armor, so I always get her early. It’s a nightmare.

MrMcGasion,

Yeah, Ringleader’s Evergaol was rough, took me over 30 tries. I was a bit under-leveled when I first found it and after getting my ass handed to me for 10 or so attempts I decided to mark it and return later, went back after leveling up a bit and died another 15 times or so. Came back a 3rd time after defeating Mohg on my 4th attempt and finally cleared the evergaol after about 8 more attempts.

Fluffy_Ruffs, do games w What are some good games worth buying on play store?

Into the Breach is free if you have Netflix. I’m not sure if it’s for purchase otherwise but it’s a ton of fun.

Albbi,

I’ve never had so much fun staring at the screen for minutes on end without doing anything. Calculating my next move. Great game, but definitely not one you can just play mindlessly.

bbigras,

I hate that it’s a Netflix exclusive. Let me buy this. Surely it’s one of the best game out there.

DoucheBagMcSwag, do gaming w Game Dependency Graph for Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

I still cannot believe that had you put a dog in your pocket. No way anyone could have guessed that

Damage,

In Day of the Tentacles you had to put a hamster in the freezer to send it to the future

In Full Throttle you had to unleash a bunch of toy bunnies on a freaking minefield to harvest their batteries

Definitely a different kind of creative thinking involved haha

knatschus, do games w Good game soundtracks?

Rimworld has an amazing soundtrack

t_berium, do gaming w Grand Strategy games?
@t_berium@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks so much for all the tips! Sounds like I’ll have to give Stellaris a go, when the next Sale drops.

Bannerlords 2 and the others you all mentioned, sound really interesting, too! Damn, the next Sale’s gonna kill me financially and socially.

GregorGizeh,

Stellaris also has recently received a subscription model, so if you want to just dip your toes it might be a lot cheaper for you to buy a month and get all possible dlc content for the game automatically (during that period).

@Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone avatar

I come to say stellaris too.

You won’t regret it, well maybe the countless hours you will lose to the game

fogstormberry, do gaming w Are there any voxel-rendered (if that's the term) game like Voxatron?

it sounds like you want an internal voxel grid and for all the art and animations to respect that grid. I don’t have any recs but I’m posting in solidarity because I feel the same way about pixel art games

onlooker,
@onlooker@lemmy.ml avatar

Much appreciated nonetheless. And yes, that’s precisely what I’m looking for.

remotelove, (edited ) do games w Me and a friend of mine were having a discussion on the holocaust and got banned for mentioning the N word. This is not the first time in games. How come they censor it?
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

While I haven’t seen the previous conversation, looking at the title of this post and also at the title of the community, that leads me to believe that this may not be a community for political history.

Since many historical events (especially in regards to politics) may be controversial, painful, horrendously offensive, stressful or annoying, that also leads me to believe some people might have gotten pissed off reading that stuff in this particular community.

That is my best guess.

threelonmusketeers,

That was one of the more cinematic stage separations I’ve seen in a while. Beautiful shot from the upper stage camera.

Buzztiger,

Yes beautiful!

clothes,

I’m impressed by the quality of their onboard cameras, without the help of starlink.

threelonmusketeers,

Seems like they might be between ground stations right now. Haven’t seen live video from the upper stage for a few minutes. Telemetry still looks good though.

mp3, do games w Always Online / Live Service
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

The only time I will find acceptable the presence of an online service in a mostly single player game is when it complements it, and will still operate gracefully if disconnected.

Fuck these games that just stops working when they pull the plug on the servers.

secret300, do gaming w Do you know any singleplayer games that are infinitely replayable?
