logicbomb, do games w DAE name their characters by their official name?

I think that there is a time factor and a complication factor. Like the longer the game lasts and the fewer characters available to name, the more people who will name and customize characters.

I wonder how many people completed Skyrim with the name “Prisoner”, though.

stoy,

That is different, the player is seldom refered to by name in games.

Though to keep it classic, I often use AFGNCAAP

I am using a german keyboard layout and if i have to name a character and dont have a name in mind they’ll become Qwert Zuiopü.

it was the nerevarines name, it was the name of the hero of kvatch and it is the name of every Dragonborn that’ll never finish skyrims main quest.

SlurpingPus,

Similar to the classic, Etaoin Shrdlu.

i am stealing this to use it as a name of a fiend or something in my ttrpg campaign, thank you :D

SlurpingPus,

There’s of course also ‘Lorem ipsum’, which might be too well-known, and rather obscure ‘Hamburgevons’.

L’orm Ipsu’mlies is a well respected librarian and only got mininal eye rolls. He claims his name is old elvish, but he made it up.

brsrklf,

It doesn’t actually appear anywhere in game but Oblivion’s main character has an internal name in the editor. “Bendu Olo”. Very Geoge Lucas kind of name.

The vehicle damage modelling from GTA 4. The fact that it hasn’t been surpassed is tremendously disappointing to me.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

In an open world game that isn’t about racing*

Games like wreckfest have pretty great damage modeling. BeamNG too.

I couldn’t be bothered to come up with a neat way to say “GTA-like games” and decided to hope that the reader could intuit that context.

ivanafterall,
@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

Not the same genre, but have you tried BeamNG? That tech should be in every game with cars.

Flamekebab,
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

For me this is more about open world games losing cool features than wanting to play a game with that feature. In GTA 4 it affected the choices I’d make whilst driving as it was entirely possible to make a vehicle nearly impossible to drive without coming close to blowing it up.

It’s boring work being an Orc. You definitely need some sort of hobby to keep busy. So why not try goth raves?

Using the deck to just play steam games is pretty straightforward. Sure you can do a bunch of advanced stuff with the deck, but you don’t have to.

ModernRisk,

True, true but most games she likes are emulation. The Switch games, a PS2 game and Cemu (Zelda).

Genuine question: what issue does this address? Are there graphics driver issues with regular full screen in some cases?

thermal_shock,

Some games minimize and try to lock your mouse to the game if you alt tab out. Windowed mode makes it pretty much seamless, pain free. No difference I ever found, just easier to alt tab out and check a map, take notes, pause and watch a video.

SystemL,
@SystemL@literature.cafe avatar

I never understood why people prefer it over full screen.

filcuk,

It enables quick window switching with no flickering. This may be a strictly Windows issue.

cyberpunk007,

Yeah you’re probably right. On Linux I just Ctrl Alt right arrow to my next virtual desktop and it’s instant and seamless.

SystemL,
@SystemL@literature.cafe avatar

No issues on linux

cyberpunk007,

I should probably know this, but what’s the deal with full screen vs windowed full screen? What’s the difference?

Also why do people wanna play windowed? Maybe depends on the type of game…?

thermal_shock,

Alt tab out to other apps without the game freaking out due to display settings

cyberpunk007,

Oh I see this makes sense. And theoretically better performance in full screen?

thermal_shock,

I never saw a major performance difference, but being able to switch windows without the game possibly crashing is great. Especially in single player games, sometimes you just need to pause and check laundry, or check email. Alt tab and good to go.

That’s the benefit I use it for. Some games force minimize when you tab off and they can crash when you try to tab back to them.

smeenz,

There used to be a noticeable graphics performance boost to an app when in full screen mode, but that was back in Windows 7 days and may not be true any more.

Game in one window, other things open in other windows. Game and do other things at the same time.

teawrecks, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Adding a reboot button is ONLY necessary if the game isn’t made correctly. There is otherwise no reason to ever need to restart the game. I would see the addition of a restart option as lazy or an admission of failure by the dev.

Katana314,

I could still see it as an admission of imperfection.

Arc Raiders includes an “unstuck” feature. They’re aware their physics system isn’t infallibly perfect, and getting stuck permanently could lead to loss of hard-earned gear. So, if a player is in one spot for more than a minute, they offer an option to teleport you to a safe place a few feet away.

Have you played other visual novels? Spending some time in those may help you recognize the tropes of the genre, and then when you see them in DDLC, you’ll know what not to expect since that game is specifically subverting expectations.

As other people have said though, DDLC is very intentionally somewhat upsetting, and there’s nothing wrong with looking up a short synopsis to understand what to expect before deciding for yourself.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w How do I get into Doki Doki Literature Club?

If you’re triggered easily, I’m not sure if the game is a good fit for you as it does delve into some deeper, more serious topics.

The only other thing I could think of to try and resolve this issue would be to purposely spoil the plot of the game for yourself by reading summaries in advance and then make the judgement call on whether or not you believe you can handle the subject matter?

The PS2 has a hard drive slot but just didn’t come with one by default. There was an official Linux release for it and in Japan you could even use it as a DVR. I don’t think this is a fair comparison.
