Moonguide, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 3rd

Replaying Dragon’s Dogma in prep for the new game. I had forgotten how much grind the game requires, honestly. I’ve been Mage 1-11, MArcher 6, Ranger 6, Sorc 30-40 or so, and my magic score is still low as hell. I’m purposefully delaying meeting the duke because I really want to give MArcher a try in the post-game, and it feels like I’ve already played for a long time but sheesh, levelling up is slow. I had never focused on building for stats, honestly. I know now though that most of your damage comes from your gear, so I might quit levelling Sorc when I reach 450 magic instead of the 600.

Hope it’s a little faster in the second entry.

Apart from that, trying the Nordic Souls modpack for Skyrim, and Helldivers 2.

I hit a wall with DD1.

I hope they’ve made the second a little less of a chore, because it really is a cool setting, and I loved that I could partner up with other players’ toons.

Very cool! I’m looking at the pictures now. It reminds me of part of the City Museum in St. Louis.

I’m sorry I didn’t see it when I visited SF some years ago.

catloaf, do piracy w Where can I find software from steam?

You know you can refund on Steam up to like two hours of runtime, right?

Within two weeks after purchase and under two hours of runtime, but also note that proprietary installer some games and Steam software use (non Steam built-in one) does count towards runtime as well

Kolanaki, do games w Microtransactions
!deleted6508 avatar

I’ve hated them from the moment they started. I was looking forward to it before any game had it, thinking it would be like getting well made mods for like fifty cents or a dollar. But then it ends up being a color swap for $15 and shit. Low effort, and expensive for what you’re actually getting.

Let me just go back to being able to drop a file into a folder and now I am Spider-Man, like I could do in Quake.

Give me back reasonably priced expansions that were like an entire sequel for half the price of the base game instead of $30 for a single dungeon.

And while we’re at it: give me back server executables and a browser so I can host my own shit and find good, moderated places to hang out.

Anyone remember Sim island?? That was great

GrymEdm, do games w Microtransactions

I haven’t bought a game with microtransactions in several years, even if I was interested in the game. I know my resistance probably doesn’t accomplish much, but I simply refuse to support that business model. I don’t want to put up with pressure to pay “just a little bit more”. Day 1 DLC isn’t a guaranteed gamebreaker for me if I already really want the game, but it definitely reduces my interest and I’ve passed over several games before because of it.

I wholeheartedly support expansions so long as their content justifies their pricetag.

It does. Besides not giving that game your time and money, you're instead putting it in some other game that's making what you want, and they probably need your time and money more to keep doing that.

mudeth, do gaming w Controller recommendedation?

Others have already recommended it but I want to pitch in; my 8bitdo pro is the best I’ve used (others I have are the DS4, xbox, a few Logitechs including the submarine one, and a fancy-ass Astro).

TheOakTree, do gaming w Good chair that is *affordable* ?

I’ve been thinking about the same thing. I know that the chairs I’d like to get are like $700-1000, but I can’t justify that cost while not consistently making money (full-time school for now).

I do spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, so I guess if you break down the price by hours in use, it’s not ridiculous to pay so much for a chair that lasts a decade.

Hopefully I can find a solid refurbish for around $400 eventually… but probably not.

You must not have seen my reply in that thread:

My husband and I both have been using Tempur-Pedic office chairs for about 15 years. Starting in 2004, we both worked desk jobs from home (he still does, I only recently shifted careers) and both play video games so we have used the shit out of our chairs, and they are still good. I like that the seat is wide enough so I can fold my legs up under me if I want to.

ComicalMayhem, do games w "Dominion of Darkness" - simulator of the evil overlord, I am looking for testers

I’ll take a deeper look at it when I have time. Heads up though, I tried using it through Firefox on Android with dark mode, and the black text blended with the black background, lol. probably not anything to do with your code or whatever though.

Adeptus,

Thanks for Your intetest! Yes, as I wrote on the game site, itch version sometimes doesn't work on the phones with Android. If it is the case, You can play downloadable version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4zds96slas3uw31/Dominion_of_Darkness_2.55.html/file . It works fine even when online version don't.

I got the Flydigi Vader 3 and i’m very happy with it. The sticks are butter smooth. The buttons are very clicky.

HELLZBELLY, do gaming w Controller recommendedation?

I’m a fan of the gamesir G7 SE myself. It’s very affordable. The hall effect sticks feel smoother and more responsive. Also they don’t get stick drift which is why I got mine.

I like that it has mic, I’d like wireless but if third party controllers won’t work with Xbox Controller Connector it doesn’t matter as much.

I got the same controller for the same reason after my Elite Series 2 got stick drift. Really responsive sticks and it doesn't feel too cheap even with the lower price.

Quexotic, do gaming w What games make you happy?

Zelda OOT. I’ve been playing it before bed to wind down. It gives me good feels.

bonegakrejg, do gaming w What games make you happy?

I’m like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.
